@DFWFishtail @robinmonotti Seems The only thing he witnesses is his own government importing people to rape their kids. He is probably all for that!

@robinmonotti Oh look, a Brit posting online. How brave. You aren't witnessing shit. You obviously can see shit at all. Or you would be bitching about Sharia in your own land... though you'd have to go to be willing to go to jail cause your govt is in failure. No chance of that coward

We are witnessing the greatest humiliation of the US military since Vietnam, and this will be Trump's legacy! Another hundreds of millions fighter plane downed by Iran:

@melchieser Happy Easter! Who is the man on the right? 🫡

@JackPosobiec I 💯% dig this auto translation feature from Grok! The Language barrier with Japan has been vaporized! I’m here for it!

@hajime20250823 I see military training with the JGSDF is on par with the US… I’ve slept in very similar and also much worse places. I wonder if we are related family. 😎

@BerisfordRon Don't let him show you the "Captain's Log."

TV Fact Of The Day: Star Trek was not actually filmed in space due to budget restrictions in the ‘60’s!🤟

@OPTastroURAN369 @MarioNawfal @muskonomy Japan needs to stay as technologically advanced as possible!

🇯🇵Japan’s entire top mobile market just got Starlink backup. When cell towers go down, phones stay connected. Japan you will have direct satellite-to-phone coverage now blankets mountains, remote islands, and disaster zones. Source: @muskonomy

Why do you think it wouldn’t work in this scenario? What are the deficiencies that you foresee or understand? As long as you can get power and the unit isn’t damaged it should work. Especially the Starlink minis. They use a lot less power. Here in the US I have already used it in power outages by powering the mini off my truck. We have had several natural disasters where are these star links have been very helpful. Am I missing something from the Nankai Trough Megaquake? I’d appreciate the insights you have.

@MarioNawfal @muskonomy 気をつけてください 大規模災害（南海トラフ大地震など）では、回線電話、携帯電話と同じくStarlinkもつながりません 災害対応回線が優先されます

@Inyas2525 @MarioNawfal @muskonomy And wilder!

@MarioNawfal @muskonomy The gap between countries investing in resilience and those just maintaining basics is getting wider.

@OfAthenry @atrupar Oddly enough, I seem to be talking to a lot of people from that formally nuked place lately thanks to X! And I sure like a lot of Iranians too…. It’s making me consider things I never would have. 😎

@atrupar The last time we used a nuclear weapon on a country, they turned into our best ally and a global technological powerhouse. Maybe Iran could benefit?

It cannot be ruled out that this is a threat to use a nuclear weapon against Iran

If you go to the Midway, the San Diego Maritime Museum is right next to that. They’ve got a ship called the star of India and a few other others, including a submarine. A few of them are old wooden sailing ships like the star of India is. But I think one or two may have been made for Hollywood.

アメリカに旅行行ったら絶対訪れたいところ 記念艦ミッドウェイ

@sydney__pack @BBG17_JDSSURUGA Hey, do you know if they have the whole ship opened up yet? It’s been a few years since I’ve been there.

@BBG17_JDSSURUGA It’s so worth it! As a San Diego native and longtime membership holder, it’s one of my favorite places with lots to see! Plan to be there all day and prepare to be amazed!

@doro_hige Looks very good!!

@10of10David @turkhafiza2 I hate it too. What a useless waste

@turkhafiza2 I hate seeing young men dying.

@kyuumaruTK I think it’s time that the Japanese Navy got two completely full-size nuclear aircraft carrier battle groups…

親愛なるアメリカの友人たちは我が海上自衛隊のこの駆逐艦をどう思いますか？ いいだろ？

@BradRTorgersen This was my exact experience too. And here I thought I was the only one. Star Trek was always the Navy of the future. And this scene was epically important for me. I too saw this and went back to ST 2 where that became formative for me. I quote ST2 & 3 constantly. 🫡

Why I have loved STAR TREK since I was 13 years old. This is your TL;DR warning. I didn't fall for TOS, even though I'd seen it a lot in UHF re-runs. I didn't even fall for Wrath of Khan, though I saw it first-run in the theater in 1982—and it's still widely regarded as the best Trek movie for very good reasons. I fell for The Search For Spock. And not because of the contrived way they undid the tragic beauty of the second film's ending. But for the notion of Starfleet as presented on film. Something about the gliding return to Spacedock. Rand standing there shaking her head at the repaired damage to the hull. Kirk, Scotty, and Sulu remarking on the Excelsior. And then (of course) Kirk's ballsy decision to choose loyalty above duty. The theft of the Enterprise. That scene in particular. I never don't get chills with that scene. It still moves me in ways I cannot sufficiently put to words. Anyway, right movie, right moment in my life. I re-watched it endlessly on VHS, then backed up and re-watched Khan and also The Motion Picture. And fell for them in different ways, for different reasons. Have seen all three countless times. Love the original crew mated to 1980s quality film special effects. Love the NCC-1701 refit. And consider it peak Enterprise after all these years. And I went back and rented almost all of TOS from Blockbuster when they had it in VHS. Appreciated the true standout episodes like "The Doomsday Machine" and "Balance of Terror." All of this was hugely impactful on my adolescence. Leaving a mark that's lasted all the way to now. Some people seem to love the idea of the UFP. Especially people on the Leftward side of American politics. Who insist that it's a Socialist utopia. I found it attractive when I was young, for most of the same reasons the Lefties do, but as I got older I realized it was just wishcasting. Especially those TNG scripts with all the snobby, "Your primitive planet is not ready for us evolved and superior Feddies, dear prole!" episodes. Side note: part of what makes Quark great is Quark is the perfect foil taking the air out of the Federation's tires during DS9's run. Some very good writing (and on-the-nose reflection) in those scripts. But Starfleet itself? Remained a wonderful representation of a space navy. I have never not been enamored with it. Yes, some folks consider it too goody-two-shoes for their taste. I can see why. But Starfleet—and especially the TOS crew at motion picture scale—made me want to *BE* on the Enterprise. They could make me a fobbit POG who never does a single away mission and I wouldn't care. Just being aboard. Being part of that. That's what ignited my 13 year old brain. And kept me going into successive films, and also TNG, and then DS9, and then VOY. The fascination with Starfleet never left me. And while 23+ years of IRL military service has shown me all the mistakes and misguided notions—especially that moronic "Starfleet is not a military!" stuff certain script people tried desperately to shoe-horn into the plots—I've never lost my admiration for the idea: a fleet of ships, crewed with the finest the galaxy has to offer, exploring and patrolling the far reaches of interstellar space. Armed for war, they nevertheless go in peace. To seek out and catalogue new solar systems, new planets, new species, new civilizations, Boldly Go, and so forth. What a wonderful idea. It doesn't get old. Not to me. And maybe that's why I get so damned unhappy with Nu Trek Product™? It cheapens the characters, their service, even the very conceit. Turns it into a gimmick, a parody, or just downright vandalizes Starfleet. I don't hold with that. I refuse it, in fact. And I remember. I remember what it was like to be young, and feel the magic. Ever since Captain Styles pressed the button on his arm rest and said, "Kirk, you do this you'll never sit in the captain's chair again." And Kirk, unblinking, orders, "Warp speed." 🖖

@wtfcetialpha5 @BradRTorgersen And smile while they do it. The odd thing is they will do it while they crash their own ship right into an ice berg too.

@BradRTorgersen They will destroy everything you love.

@tara72062500 Is that a kit you built? That’s really cool. I posted on my timeline for people to see here but I don’t have a lot of followers. But for sure someone will buy that I think.
