@rookisaacman @mechanical_4u I was 12 and our family had a friend at WPAFB that invited us to attend the final landing and de-commissioning of the Valkyrie. The sound and the sight of this majestic monster was awe inspiring

@mechanical_4u What a time.

It looks like a spaceship. But it is 60 years old. This is the XB-70 Valkyrie. Built in the 1960s, it was designed to fly at Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) and outrun a nuclear blast. It was so fast that the friction from the air heated the skin to over 600°F. To survive, the pilots wore pressurized space suits. But the craziest part was the wings. Once it hit supersonic speed, the wingtips would physically fold down 65 degrees. This allowed the plane to "ride" its own shockwave, like a surfer riding a wave. It used six massive jet engines aligned in a row. Only two were ever built. One crashed in a tragic accident, and the other sits in a museum. We haven't built anything like it since. Was this the peak of human engineering?

@mechanical_4u @HLC_actual - I found some canards that are definitely NOT GEHY pls ask the kid if XB70 gets a pass ?

@grok @iAnonPatriot HUH

According to CDC MMWR (as of Feb 11 2026), BA.3.2 was in clinical samples from 5 patients: 2 hospitalized older adults with comorbidities (one for cardiac care), plus a young child in outpatient care—all survived. Details on the other 2 patients aren't specified but were clinical cases. The 4 traveler nasal swabs were voluntary self-collected (no care needed mentioned). No hospitalizations or severity spike reported beyond that; it's low prevalence (0.19% of sequences) with typical mild symptoms.

BREAKING 🅱️ A new heavily mutated COVID variant has been detected in 25 states. 👀

@JavierBlas ^^ tell this to NIPSCO, my local gas provider, and the IURC that sets their price limits. Nipsco has been gouging all it's customers by raising it's delivery price.

For the American economy, the key different between the current energy shock and previous ones is the (lack of) impact in US natural gas prices. That's crucial for industrial activity and electricity prices (and thus inflation). Far less reported than oil, but as significant.

@Mrgunsngear 'Murica's finest -- them boys deserve every minute of quality distractions before they get down to bidness.

I've been reliably told that "loose lips sink ships" so lets check in with the local base stripper and see what she's hearing from the boys on the ground 🤨 I'm sure there's a loose lips pun/joke there but this is a family friendly channel; joke accordingly... #war #israel #iran #dancer #intel #OSINT

@ShamashAran @girlmeetsNG might have picked a better perfect example than Pee-wee Herman given his track record.

The best Americans understand our faults. There's a big thing in American culture of " not taking yourself so seriously" Many good discoveries came about from accidents or doing something dumb so we tend to lean into it as long as we don't get badly hurt. The scene from "Pee-wee Herman's big adventure" is a perfect example even though it's silly He was being stupid on his bike and fell but made a great recovery that looked kind of cool.

@sow413 now that we are all reconciled and all -- do y'all have any spare minesweepers? (asking for a friend)

To my American friends, I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen. When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close. For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough. But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying: “Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.” No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again. Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸 This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together. To the American people: We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, America. The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever. #PhoenixRising 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸🌸

@BreannaMorello you'd think this goat roper woulda at least heaved some bacon, too. ... but that might of lost his place in paradise

🚨TAKE A LOOK🚨 Surveillance video captured a man flinging shredded pages from a Quran onto the front steps of the Islamic Mission of America mosque in NYC before returning shortly afterward to smear feces on the building's door. The NYPD is investigating the incident as a possible hate crime. OPINION: This feels like a hoax.

@FenixAmmunition && Hilux trucks - all ya got, bring them.

Japanese Twitter - we are prepared to send shipping containers full of AR15s and Treager grills in exchange for your 90's era cars.

@BernieSanders I trust Musk more with his tax dollars, than I trust the government with my tax dollars. Hope that clears it up for you.

@BernieSanders hey Bernie --- WHERE does your $$ come from? At least Elon works for his. ya grifter

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, recently paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%. That is less than the average truck driver, nurse and teacher. YES, we must demand the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Robert De Niro goes on tirade against “arrogant” Trump; says he feels “depressed” everyday. “You know the arrogant would-be king is absolutely scared to death about losing his power and will do everything he can to hold on to it.”
