@mysticaquarium Proud to be straight! Or are you a bigot? Drag shows should not be allowed near children. Sexual themes are not appropriate.

@NoCatsNoLife_m You are correct about the American Left. They are captured by our propaganda because they lack intelligence and self-reflection. Logic doesn't work on them as they have none. Emotions rule their thoughts, memory of past events is non-existent.

Today I got into an argument with some stupid left-wing people from America and Western Europe. I’m sorry — from now on, I’m done engaging with them and will fully focus on cats instead 🐱 While I don’t always agree with American right-wingers, we were able to have healthy discussions, find common ground and compromises, and I realized they truly love cats. On the other hand, I felt that left-wing people often use animals as political tools. When I shared my personal opinions, they immediately started with personal attacks instead of having constructive discussion. That said, I really like ordinary Americans, and since I respect people with different opinions, please don’t worry 🥰🧡 I’ll go back to focusing on articles and cute cat posts from now on! Today I have plans for Turkey 🇹🇷 and Vietnam 🇻🇳 🐾

@BRICSinfo They are correct.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iran's Revolutionary Guards say the Middle East will not see peace until Israel is "destroyed."

@aviationarchive It's found here with some other interesting papers. nasa.gov/armstrong/meda…

In 1997 NASA's Eclipse Tow Launch Demonstration Project at Edwards AFB used a C-141A to tow the QF-106 Delta Dart on a 1000 foot tether. Six flights over five hours proved towed takeoff climb-out and separation validating reusable space launch concepts. 👀

@DanielDefense Congrats you invented the quad rail.

Now Available: the GL/SSC or Grenade Launcher Sound Suppressor Capable, a rifle made famous by SOCOM operators during the Global War on Terror. Previously nearly unobtainable on the commercial market, only 25 have ever existed outside military hands. That changes now!

@StephenMBlack82 @NoMansSky Yes nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Storyline

@NoMansSky Is there a story/main quest to follow in NMS? I’ve always been curious but haven’t actually tried it. Might need to jump in at some point.

@SpaceAgeMark Looks absolutely fantastic! Not a brown face in sight. The train station looks very nice too.

Moscow's new Leningradsky Vokzal (train station) is fantastic! 🚂

@MissileReport @aviationarchive No. Aerodynamics were fine for what it was designed to do. The Germans were using it for something it was *not* designed to do. The bribes that forced the juicy gov contracts killed those men, not the airplane.

@aviationarchive Also dubbed “the widow maker” for the amount of pilots it killed due to minimal aerodynamics

On March 4, 1954, XF-104 prototype 7786 took its maiden flight at Edwards AFB. Powered by a J65-B-3 turbojet engine—the J79 wasn't ready, this razor-thin winged design spanned just 21ft 9in and set the stage for the Mach 2 F-104 Starfighter, the missile with a man in it.👀

Indeed: Iran says Washington told them to ignore Trump's public statements as it is intended solely for domestic audiences and media purposes.

@ChampRDS All boxing is fake and gay

🚨 Rico Verhoeven suggests he'll appeal the loss to Oleksandr Usyk after seeing it was stopped after the bell "They stopped the fight after the bell. I think we might just go and appeal it because this doesn't make any sense. When the referee came in, I wasn't dazzled or whatever. I was looking at the referee like 'why are you stopping, we're almost there'. It didn't make any sense to me. That's something he should be aware of. Of course mistakes can be made, but the referee should admit his mistake. Look back at it and say it's either a No Contest, or we go to the scorecards. And if we go to the scorecards, I was ahead." (via @BoxingNewsED)

@itchdoctor Are you aware of any incentives provided by Galderma for Nemluvio prescriptions? In other words is this popularity because it works, or because drs are paid to dole it out?

This was almost a year ago. Can you guess what Nemluvio looks like now? Double. Itch is huge.

@_Classical_Lib_ @EthanLevins2 No, but only because it won't kill enough of them. Iran needs to bump those numbers up. It's never enough to harm them. They must be eliminated before peace can occur.

@EthanLevins2 Does it make you happy that this will kill Israelis?

🚨 A 3RD IRON DOME HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY HEZBOLLAH! $300M so far destroyed! When the war resumes, Iranian missiles will fly uninterrupted.

I just finished reading a large internal report 1) acknowledging Israel has a massive image problem in the West and 2) how they intend to confront it. Not one part of the plan includes them curbing their own behavior. It's all about money, censorship, coercion and force.

Shenzhen Pinghu Lab along developed world's 1st Ga₂O₃ Photoconductive Switch using Garen Semi's wafers. This project using Mg doping improved response time & on/off ratio vs a Fe-doped device from Feb. It is a game changer for advanced radars, pulsed power & HVDC transmission.

@Arkyshrugger88 @EAA Yes, he wrote so himself - "thankful we didn't make the Spirit stable. The very instability which makes it difficult to fly blind or hold an accurate course at night now guards me against excessive errors."

@EAA Is it possible that the mental and physical effort helped Lindbergh stay awake?

Ninety-nine years ago today, Charles Lindbergh completed the first successful solo non-stop transatlantic flight, landing at Le Bourget Aerodrome in Paris after 33 hours and 30 minutes in the air.   Enjoy this archived video of pilot Robert "Hoot" Gibson flying one of our Spirit of St. Louis replicas.   #Aviation #Avgeeks #Oshkosh #AviationHistory

Here’s what’s going on. The West is finished financially when the US goes down. US empire is falling. China is taking over. Russia is the wingman. It’s inevitable. The US is bankrupt, the markets fake and the news is propaganda. No theft, lies, or deceit are going to change that.

Britain's Fairey Delta 2 first hit Mach 1.73 and shattered the world airspeed record on March 10, 1956. The sleek delta-wing research jet, powered by a Rolls-Royce Avon with afterburner, became the first to exceed 1,000 mph in level flight at 1,132 mph—smashing the previous mark by 310 mph. Oh, and also, its droop-nose, designed for better visibility, later inspired Concorde, and only two were built after the maiden flight in October 1954.

The absolute rout of Labour in the May 7th local elections in Britain after it swept into power with a huge majority in the last round made me realize something that I've perhaps only circled around before. This is a pattern. Let's return to the Davos Regime.⬇️ We've actually seen this for years now in the West, electoral cycle after electoral cycle. Party A takes a certain paraliberal policy course - let's call it the Universal Davos Policy - that heavily favors special interests and globalism, and which is wildly unpopular with citizens because it necessarily entails continued degradation of Western standards of living (via self-destructive economics from war and/or green policy) and cultural cohesion (via mass migration and official woke nihilism). Party B then campaigns against this state of affairs, scores a massive win in a protest vote, and continues the Universal Davos Policy unchanged, sneering all the while at anyone who suggests they should actually fulfill the campaign promises that got them into power. Party A then takes advantage of voters' short memories to get back into power on another landslide protest vote, or in more fractured political systems Party C wins the protest vote... and they continue the Universal Davos Policy unchanged. Thus we have constant political churn in the West, with political blocs switching off essentially every election - and no policy turbulence at all because the entire political establishment is a wholly owned subsidiary of Davos and ignores voters to do their bidding on ALL substantive policy issues. Anti-Davos political forces are ruthlessly branded as extremists, coopted to promote the Universal Davos Policy should they assume power, or even criminalized and destroyed. Democracy itself is no object, as elections have begun being cancelled and openly rigged in the West when the wrong person could possibly win. The forces involved here are so absurdly powerful that no-foreign wars, end-migration, independently wealthy, hated by the Deep State, ineligible for reelection, Establishment outsider Donald Trump threw his electoral promises in the trash and went mask-off as a Davos puppet during his second term in office. A note here on how exactly the Davos Regime works - it's entirely upstream of policymaking. Davos controls the mechanisms of political opinion-making through control of academia and media and thus shapes the Overton Window of respectable political discourse to benefit a class of elite transnational oligarchs. Sometimes they use sturdier levers on the politicians who hold formal power - donor pressure, blackmail, even direct and presumably very credible threats to life and limb. They have a regular convention at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland; ergo why I've taken to calling them the Davos Regime. It is worth noting that the Davos Regime is very powerful but actually fairly stupid, because it has inherited the arrogance, incuriosity and inward-looking parochialism of the Western hyper-elite. Thus we see repeated fiascos when Davos has to interact with powers that have more serious political systems, like Iran, Russia, and China. But it is good - terrifyingly good - at not just bending Western politicians to its will but in fact molding them like clay from their first political principles onwards. That, my friends, is who rules us.

@aviationarchive Here's modern footage of the prototype flying youtube.com/watch?v=EUrkjS… It's probably still for sale: vintageaviationnews.com/warbirds-news/…

Scoring the first air-to-air kill of the Korean War on June 27, 1950, the F-82 Twin Mustang was the last prop fighter ordered by the USAF and still owns the record of the longest non-stop flight without refueling for a piston engine fighter.👀
