F35s are basically a grift for the military-industrial complex. Developing them blew through every budget because putting the strategic needs of different operators and different environments on one airframe is dumb, and they need loads of parts constantly to keep the mill churning. As a desirable side effect, if the US decides to not let you use F35s any more, they can stop shipping parts and your fleet will quickly become nonfunctional.

You cannot atone for an act without first admitting culpability, otherwise you’re just papering it over and continuing to show disrespect to those affected. This is Apologizing 101.

Yeah but he individually is a major stakeholder. It’s not like how BlackRock owns 7-15% of every company by way of owning all the 401ks.

The company is partially owned by Bezos

Slate Auto. It’s partially owned by Bezos and a bunch of Amazon execs tho

I’ve got a running theory that Pim Tool doesn’t have a well-formed skull. It’s just loose skin draped over his smooth, glossy brain. Wears a beanie to hide that he’s got a Mojo-jojo thing going on under there.

If you stuffed that box with neutronium then:

1. Funny event: it’s so dense the Earth itself is basically a thin gas in comparison and it immediately falls through the floor, the ground, and the mantle to oscillate around in the core.

2. Funny other event: It’s so massive it dominates gravity nearby and everything within a couple of meters gets turned into Cool Physics from aggregating onto an incompressible box really fast and hard. Maybe the nearby atmosphere ignites from being compressed into plasma against the box.

3. Real physics step in and the neutronium immediately decompresses and the mass equivalent of an inland ocean in neutrons and angry high-energy high-mass decay products sterilizes everything through to the horizon with a gamma ray burst, also triggering massive seismic events from the blast as well as killing everything on Earth since the atmosphere is now radioactive and a lot thinner

Thank goodness they’re taking the politics out of movies!

Takes a billion dollars to portray the US military as really cool and badass

Go to an indie theater screening of The Room or Rocky Horror. People interacting with the movie has been a thing for decades. People were shit-talking to the characters on stage during Shakespeare’s plays during his lifetime.

He actually does say “First we mine, then we craft. Let’s Minecraft!”

The last record-holder, Strom Thurmond, would shit in a bucket in a coat room while keeping one foot in the Senate chamber and still talking. He was attempting, of course, to filibuster the Civil Rights Act.
