Feels a lot better than how our grandparents felt standing in line for the gas chambers.

I wonder how Israelis feel knowing that the whole world hates Israel

@DastDn "From the Pale of Settlement to the Straits of Hormuz, JD Vance is the preferred choice of those who hate America..."
That's going to look great on a yard sign or bumper sticker in 2028...

Don't worry, America. The outcome of the war against the Iranian regime all depends upon the specifics of what gets agreed to at the negotiating table with the mullahs in the coming weeks, on everything from control of the Strait of Hormuz, to uranium enrichment, to sanctions, to whether U.S. combat forces will remain in the region, to the fate of Hezbollah.
The fate of the world rests in the hands of...
...Steve Witkoff.

there's just no way that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords could be even half as bad as this

@RockettLord IMO aerospace remains an "old boys network" more than other fields. But it was a lot worse when I started. The women who last and make a career out of it tend to be exceptional engineers. Any mediocre or sloppy engineers tend to be men. The margin of error for women is less IMO.
English
My graduating class of Aerospace Engineering at a university of 33k people was less 10% women.
My university prided itself in having a high percentage of women in engineering majors at 25% and that was largely due to a biomedical engineering program that had a 50% ratio.
I have been the only woman in an engineering department at two jobs.
Our work is not finished.
The STEM outreach is fantastic these days but the alctual engineering industry still has work to do
It’s Ma’am, PhDelightful 🇺🇸@ItsGoneAwry
The women seem to outnumber the men in Mission Control and are a huge part of this Artemis mission. I don’t think we have a problem with women in STEM.

@JeremiahDJohns Maybe tech is a contributing factor but I don't think 80's kids were only listening to Madonna, Bon Jovi and Michael Jackson because we couldn't find any Buddy Holly or Bill Haley and the Comets. Also the Nov/Dec dip... I assume that's Christmas music we're seeing?
English
@DGSergent It's not anyone's fault. It's a consequence of changing technology and not the quality of any given musical generation.
Technology makes it easier than ever to access the global backlog across many genres - music, video games, books, etc. You see the same trend in every case.
English
I've written about this before, but it's remarkable how much older music is strangling new music.
And the same is true in books, movies, video games. Older media is taking up a bigger and bigger share of the market every year.

@jsguofo @unlimited_ls I would tend to agree at that point he would be justified. But probably not if he drew at the start of the fight. Like I said, a gray area. Which is why OC spray would be helpful.
English
@DGSergent @unlimited_ls Unprovoked attack and continuous pounding to the head causing a brain bleed and concussion both of which u can die from, I’m sure if he was carrying and fired his service weapon he would be justified. Who’s to say at this point the perpetrator would let up.

🚨NEW: Tesla driver left with a brain bleed and broken ribs after being viciously beaten by a man he stopped to help on a Florida highway
Hans Hamilton driving north on the 429 Expressway near Walt Disney World when he saw a white Lexus crash into a guardrail
Daniel Coman, 44, suddenly jumped on Hamilton’s Tesla and smashed the windshield
Footage obtained by News 6 shows Coman attacking Hamilton on the ground, repeatedly striking his head and body for over 30 seconds
Hamilton managed to free himself and struck Coman in the throat to stop the assault
A deputy from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrived, and Coman immediately tried to fight the officer
English
@jsguofo @unlimited_ls Nor am I convinced there's a ironclad right to use deadly force. In most states you can't start blasting simply because you're losing an ordinary fight. Only in reasonable fear for death or great bodily injury. Maybe after repeated blows to head but would be a gray area.
English
@jsguofo @unlimited_ls I'm curious why you mentioned "stand your ground." Doesn't seem to apply here. You're in a freeway median with cars whipping by. Even in a "duty to retreat" state seems easy enough to argue there was no safe way to retreat. (1/2)

@RockettLord She was the product owner of the company's new PLM software responsible for teaching engineers how to use the new tool. He was the smartass engineer in the corner who refused to take training seriously. Married 25 years last year.

@NewReaganCaucus @EHPlimsoll1 DJT would insist his name be in there somewhere.
English
@EHPlimsoll1 Thankfully, Congress won't accept changing our name to the United Islamic Republic of America, though.
Not without killing the filibuster, anyway.

They must think Vance is weak.

JD Vance plans to visit Hungary soon to show support for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán ahead of a tight April election, where polls show Orbán trailing.

@ConceptualJames Joe Kent is an embarrassment. He primaried a Rep who voted to impeach Trump after J6, only to lose the seat, which is now probably Democrat for a generation. Now this. Whatever one thinks of this war, only a fool would think Iran posed "no threat" to the US. Good riddance.

@scottlincicome For someone who felt people were a problem, he sure hung around a long time. Must have been other people that were the problem.

The man charged by DOJ for selling the gun used by the ODU terrorist was caught straw purchasing three guns in 2021 (all of which were later recovered at crime scenes, including a homicide) but the Biden DOJ declined to prosecute. He got a warning & signed an apology letter.

@OldNewRight Georgia was attacked and remains partially occupied by Russia and Armenia was in conflict with Azerbaijan as late as last year. India and Pakistan threw hands last year as well. A very rough part of the world for sure.
