Let's throw in John Glenn and Neil Armstrong for the hell of it.

An Iowan invented a dwarf wheat that saved 20% of the world from starvation
An Iowa invented the integrated circuit
An Iowan invented instrument techniques for space exploration
An Iowan literally invented sliced bread
Hot Rocks@603Roller
@iowahawkblog Sir the Iowans have discovered that they never invented shit.

@TheTomKnighton And I bet most of those other countries don't really care about arresting him, it's just theater to show that they're GoodLife (as in from Fred Saberhagen's "Berserker" setting, humans that support the omnicidal robots).

There's no American warrant for Netanyahu's arrest. That's the big difference here.
Natania Marshall ✞@NataniaMarshall
So we arrested Maduro over a warrant, but Netanyahu is wanted in 124 countries and we’ve had him in the White House 6 times? Make this make sense.
English
@NataniaMarshall There's no warrant for Netanyahu in the US.
I doubt most of those other countries really care if he's actually arrested, it's just theater to show that they're GoodLife.

@TheTomKnighton The existence of pineapple as a pizza topping proves that some people have no taste whatsoever. 😜

I'm stunned, alright.
I'm stunned that some people find that thing attractive.

Never forget when LeBron James tried to doxx and threaten the life of a white police officer for killing a black woman before he had any facts about what actually happened. Then the bodycam footage came out and showed that the officer heroically SAVED a black woman’s life that was about to be stabbed to death.
After this, LeBron deleted the post in shame but MILLIONS of people had already seen it and many of them still believe it today. He never apologized to the officer for doing this… just moved on like it never happened.
LeBron James is legitimately a terrible person.

@SCShipyards Friend of the family back when I was living in IL was completely blind, and subscribed to the Braille version of PB. He would occasionally joke that he really DID read it for the articles.

The meta-joke is that Playboy used to have decent articles.

@alexjmingolla On further thought I shouldn't have used "leftist", as it's too broad for this post. Mea culpa.

“American stadiums are horrible, they shouldn’t host”
“Ok the stadiums are nice but they won’t fill”
“The stadiums filled but the games will suck”
“The games are exciting but American cities are terrible”
“American cities are only fun because they’re rich”

@ZeeCaptainRon @LeanHugeGraves I don't know about the latest gen.
IMO they took an American classic and made it a euro sports car with some Corvette trim.
I don't have a beef with euro sports cars in general, but they're not Corvettes no matter how you dress them up.
English
@LeanHugeGraves The 70s-80s were horrible cars
The last couple generations? Outstanding.
English
From the time I was a kid I always wanted a corvette
Never did buy one to fix up. Never even driven one. Lame.
English
@SeriousVanko @ShamashAran @LeanHugeGraves Yeah, the latest version isn't my cup of tea, either. They took an American icon and turned it into a euro sports car with some Corvette stylings.
I've no beef with euro sports cars in general, but they're not Corvettes no matter how you dress them up.

@ShamashAran @LeanHugeGraves I just can't force myself to like the new mid engine cars. Looks like every other sports car out there.

@alexjmingolla @wayfaring1_ Besides, it's an unwritten law of the internet that a meme must contain a typo or grammar error.

@cdrsalamander They did similarly with those carrying the pre-revolution Iranian flag, I believe.
Never followed soccer so FIFA wasn't on my personal radar, but the more I hear about it the more I laugh at the hand wringing about the US being a host country.
English
Why was this allowed to take place inside America's borders?
There is a person who ordered this action by the police.
That person needs to be named.
If I hear, "I was just following orders...", I will pop a circuit breaker.

In an alternate timeline, Barack Obama never tried to insult Donald Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondent's Dinner, and as a result Al Franken is currently President, gasoline costs $17 a gallon, COVID never happened, all Americans are legally required to wear rainbow stars on their chest during the month of June, Elon Musk is in prison, Marc Elias is a Supreme Court Justice and Russia owns Alaska.
Thank you, Barack Obama.

I just love it when X works well... /s
For some reason the "Following" tag now only shows the "Welcome to X!" thing, but the "For you" tab works as it's supposed to.
I tried logging out and clearing the cache, but no change.

And after posting that it kept refreshing to try to reload the page until I switched from "Following" to "For you". 🤬

@Oilfield_Rando And it wasn't even the US that was the issue. It was a paperwork fuckup in Mexico for the charter flight the team was using. Paperwork fixed, and they're in the US now.
Yeah, I know, leftist shitbags lying. When has that ever happened?🤔

Racist? Uruguay is Whiter than most American states
BladeoftheSun@BladeoftheS
Uruguay the 3rd best team in South America and the 16th best team in the world, who are due to play Saudi Arabia tomorrow cannot enter the USA. Because the USA will not allow them due to 'visa issues'. The racist World Cup continues to be a disgusting joke.
