Wait…that means I can carry a Javelin? That’s a bearable arm. I think I am strong enough now also to carry a Mk 19 automatic grenade launcher, which would weigh about 120 pounds with enough grenades to be useful.
That ruling would also encompass a briefcase-size nuclear device.
What a ruling. What a country.
Will Be
Many things claimed to be “impossible” are merely mildly difficult with application of appropriate will and stubbornness.
Besting
Same, same with Singapore where "immune-evasive" in (meaning antibodies in the lab) XBB have been dominant. Cases still on the way down, very few severe cases, 99.7% is "asymptomatic/mild".
Lab/in vitro studies alone are obviously not very informative in this immunity landscape. pic.twitter.com/gtaOHaYPwQ

I love how Zeynep makes the Covidians cry by smacking them with actual data. She’s the best.
Tumbledown
The one time I saw "y'all is exclusively AAVE" on Tumblr it was from a white cis girl who was pretending to be a black trans woman who claimed that her Jewish Romani grandmother was smuggled out of Europe in a suitcase. https://t.co/IDViGIHh2R

Only Northern libs who have never lived in the South could believe some crazy shit like “y’all” is exclusively AAVE. In fact, what most Northern libs believe is AAVE is used by both white and black people about equally in the South. Fucking idiots.
Stop Reading
My feed is filled with sadness and frustration that a portion of the western left parrots kremlin talking points, erases Ukrainian voices and even harasses Ukrainians even while they face this genocide.
It's pure colonialism and it's unconscionable.— Tamara Krawchenko 🇺🇦 (@T_Krawchenko) November 1, 2022
Ian Welsh went this way, sadly. Had to stop reading him after only Putin could make his mouth (or typing fingers) move anymore. Declines in cognitive ability like that are terrible to witness. It really does remind me of when my great-grandmother was suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Two Rikers
We need a world with more teleporter accidents.
Gameplay
🚨🚨🚨
Vijaya Gadde, who worked as Twitter’s Head of Trust and Safety, until she was fired by @elonmusk met monthly with DHS to discuss censorship https://t.co/Id7nMc5rpT

That is how the game is played.
Knows It
This guy talks a lot of crazy, but this is one thing where I’ve met a ton of tech & VC types who also believe this, & I personally assume it’s true. It’s one of those things I don’t have proof of, but I do assume it to be the case. https://t.co/RJztzMVxGH

Yes, this is true. Most people just aren’t worth taking to a black site and torturing; wouldn’t benefit anyone. But all of our electronics and communications infrastructure is multiply backdoored by the US, China and (probably) Germany — as well as others to a lesser degree.
This isn’t even a well-kept secret in intelligence agency circles. Everyone knows it.
