It was a pleasure to take the first Ukrainian Challenger 2 MBT for a spin.
Such tanks, supplied by the United Kingdom, have recently arrived in our country.
These fantastic machines will soon begin their combat missions.

Good tanks. Not as good as the Abrams (fire control and targeting particularly is not great), but much, much cheaper to operate. They’ll shred any Russian tanks very easily.

This is true; for some reason, put a rich white lady in an SUV, she’s far more aggressive than even the most pugnacious men out there.

I’m going to tell my friends too young to remember the 1980s this is what car phones were:

We had a whole glorious van era in the 1970s and 1980s that kids today will never understand https://t.co/yu2a6Wxhsm

Just look at this masterpiece. Who wouldn’t want this sublime exemplar of vehicular excellence?

The next few decades are going full of new, exciting sociogenic illnesses. Better start updating your ideas about what makes a mental illness "real." https://t.co/ML02JLElb1

Agreed. I think Long Covid is real, too, but probably 60-70% of cases have no physical cause because it’s a result of mental trauma and is sociogenic primarily. Thus, no physiological or pharmacological treatment will work that well.

The idea that everyone hates tech because of some woke media psyop is just an autopsyop. Your products suck! They're painful to use! The experience of computing is awful! Enough with the cope! People hate the industry for good reasons.

Indeed. The experience of computing in general has regressed greatly in the last decade. It’s now disturbingly terrible. Tech people like to lie and say it’s for “security” and “for your own good” but that’s just flimflam concealing what’s really happening: the soul of computing was sold to predatory capitalism and there is no going back now.

People seem to not understand that visually similar meals could have quite different caloric contents.

It is in fact very easy to make two meals that are visually similar, but one has 1,200 calories and the other has 500. Hint: butter, oil, lard, any source of fat, and more protein too. Laughably easy to do. Same appearance and volume but vastly different energy content.

Work-From-Home Era Ends for Millions of Americans.

Told ya MBAs were going to can WFH ASAP. They really, really hated it and it’ll only persist for some tech people like me who have skills too rare to attempt to constrain. The end of WFH will harm productivity, reduce family formation, increase fossil fuel use and in general hurt America — but that don’t matter as long as some petty MBA can feel a sense of power over others.

Because an aggrieved MBA’s hurt wittle feewings is what really matters in this country.
