“I’ve been to boot camp! Twice! I’ve been yelled at by better people than you will ever be! And they were assholes!” - Me when some Karen/Kevin thinks that have something to yell about.
Ret’d jet meck, sailor, tech dilettante turned from pc to Mac, sun seeker. Dis interested observer of politics and economy. I always look up at the sky when I hear an aircraft. And on clear nights, look at stars. I photograph sunsets too.

Weekend at Donnie’s: “They’re not doing it now?” That’s what I have been wondering the last few days. Somebody is whispering in his ear to plant some thoughts, but they come out all fked up. Pretty soon he’ll be laying in state like Lenin, BUT we’ll keep seeing him in media as an ai avatar.
Murdered by words. If he could only read.
Cranky! But I had the same idea perusing various govt-bashing memes this morning. Elbows up when necessary, head for the net when opportunity arises.
Lovely daylily!
I haven’t read this “Other Minds”, but I did recently read “The Mountain In The Sea” by Ray Naylor and I highly recommend it.

I like a percolator, whether it be 1 cup or 4?
So? So why is your headline or title referring to F5 despite it’s not mentioned your article? I have only one answer: click bait. Your list is fine. We can debate the merits of excluded models, rankings, etc. all month. But click bait headlines are not the way to interest me. Fool me once…
Sorry to hear that. But there are alternative treatment regimes. Perhaps working to remove tariffs is also a way to create a viable path to fair availability.
That driving, screaming take of “Immigrant Song”! Chilling.
I am extremely skeptical of anyone claiming to read 100 books in a year! Claiming to read 100 books in a week labels you a liar in my book (no pun intended).
What nationalities are paying the tariffs? Americans!
Woo Hoo!! ‘Murricans gonna hurt too! No more inexpensive shea butter by the quart, no spare clip-on mic’s for podcasters, no more ozempic. Good Luck!
“in an aerial ‘dogfight’, would you rather be in a 25-ton Tu-128 or a four-ton Northrop F-5? Lead-in sentence but the F5 isn’t on the list!
I’m getting “let them eat cake” vibes! The oligarchs setting policy for Air Canada had best consider how to operate without essential personnel. Passengers should ask “How safe is it really, when most crew members’ earnings are below poverty level?”. Stay the course, crew!
That's the way laser dissecting a brain works!
Try "Canadian".
They seem to be experiencing some DDOS-type technical difficulties.
“Charismatic” weapons of war. Sarcastic? Ironic? Seductive? I was an engineer in military aviation for over 30 years. Obviously, I loved the machines and the work. But let’s not sugar coat it, eh!
Ooo. That’s a good one.
Satirical response by anonymous technical writer / engineer tasked after the cancellation, to write a history of the Arrow program. Is it worth reading? I’d give it a shot!
You get banned from the woods!
Look back and turn back Look at yourself Don't be afraid just Look at yourself If you need assistance Or if all you need is love There's no point in hiding Tell me what your frightened of You've got a friend just Look at yourself Don't be afraid just Look at yourself
"Unfortunately, there is a segment in society — ... — that views any call for sacrifice on behalf of a common good as a form of creeping totalitarianism." Such action IS authoritarian! So long as the public perceives the action as reasonable and necessary, it's OK. PS. Bias much?
“Wildfire on Vancouver Island continues to grow” near Qualicum Beach. It’s been 20 years since I lived on Van Is., but if I recall correctly, many of those properties are now worth millions of $. How much do insurance companies contribute to fire fighting?
“Kamchatka volcano continues to spew ash 4 km into the atmosphere.” Yay! Maybe global cooling is coming!
Now isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame No one ever warned the boy Rock n' roll is a vicious game,
Is it "Lalubu is Satan" or is it "Lalubu is Pazuzu"? Are you Christian or Sumerian?
So the question is "Where is that money going to go?"
“We the people ..”
With so many excellent tunes to choose from everyone’s favourite is different! Right now, my favourite is Bad Side of The Moon.
So true! April Wine deserves a lot more success than they had. Did they have a desire to not tour outside of Canada? It is a gruelling life on the road and very hard on families.
The People can't condone non-interference in an activity the People criminalized, just because that makes the consequences worse. /s
people gotta write about sumptin'!
This situation is certainly not due to a "lack of supervised consumption sites", nor "quality control", although those issues may mitigate the seriousness of the consequences. I agree that it is "incredibly preventable"; by people not putting that stuff in their bodies!
Even after successfully lobbying for an end to government support for clean energy, they can't stop people from recognizing the economic truths.
"for a story about boobs, it sure has a lot of assholes" Awsome summary!
I want to clarify that only a very few Americans seem to think about money-making opportunities in a sociopathic way, or perhaps an amoral way, i.e. without regard for impact to others. Nearly all are very concerned that their actions benefit all parties, without detriment to others not involved.
As a travelling Canadian, I have met many Americans and like them they're friendly, resourceful, and generous people. And you are quite correct that they see every resource, every desire, every convenience, everything, in terms of money making.
"https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/house-budget-bill-effectively-kills-us-clean-energy-boom-2025-05-22/" Canada should invest massively in solar, hydro, and wind energy. We'll be able to sell it to the electricity-starved US ai farms as "premium power"!
"getting CS gassed but without all the hostility" made me spit up my Cuba Libré, as I recalled gas hut training. There was hostility there man!
you are not wrong brother!
Mac Sabbath! Awesome!
Congress denies immunity for Maxwell? Well, then! "I can't recall, Senator. Prison is so boring it's melting my memories."
Madness? Yes,. Yes it is.
You think i know fuck nothing, but I tell you, I know fuck all!
Seems like "real gangster times" are here now.
Spin doctors spinning!
I guess this matters if you are using GPS to enhance pinpoint bombing of your enemies. Or you’re an EATS driver trying to find the right door in an alley of unmarked doorways. I love the photo tho!
The problem here is that when the people at the top, the decision-makers, fed false intel and biased analyses, will believe it and make choices based on those falsehoods.
Can Blue Origin land on the moon this year?” VERY unlikely! Throwing something and hitting the moon would be an engineering victory. But to land a machine intact? Nope.
Andre never lied.
Say what you will, Hulk Hogan was loomed large on the cultural landscape.
The jet gets fixed, but the pilot got Covid at the local “Hindu temple” (wink wink), so we’re need a replacement. A few days later a new pilot arrives and has to take 18 hrs crew rest. The jet leaves a few days later. Total time grounded: 38 days! 3/3
A day later your most junior tech pronounces the real problem, and you don’t have that part. Engineering officers whip out their phones and start arranging procurement and delivery. Ack! It’ll have to go through Customs again! 2/3
That’s a fairly long period of downtime, but not really so unusual in the world of aviation maintenance. You dispatch a team with the parts the janitor said you would need. Five days later Customs finally clears your tools and they’re delivered to the hangar. 1/3
Isn’t it obvious? Big donors/contributors/bribers, whatever you want to call them, of all parties, ARE IN EPSTEIN’S LIST.
“Wot a git!” - Lister
“leaning”?! There are so many “Congress Stock Trades Tracker” sites that only willful ignorance prevents one from realizing all profitable investments are based insider trading. Or/And White House manipulation .
Arrr matey!
One of my instructors at boot camp Canada: "You think I know f#@k nothing. But I tell you, I know f#@k all!"
Partner: “I need Star Trek!” Me: “Let me check out cruising on the high seas…”
I suppose it has to be a sequel …. Space Truckin’ - Deep Purple youtu.be/5hqG-29NTSU?...
Nobody effing cares what he looks like! The important part is that America is abandoning investment in solar and wind energy industry. in 20 years. You will have to buy it all from China and India, with huge tariffs! 🤣🤣ass kissing big oil🤣🤣
As the era of handheld smart phone innovation is in steep decline.
Why works anyone let Google “nest” in their home?! Have you forgotten Alien?
Just order another one from Starlink.
So does my mom, so you’re ok.
"Who Dat?" 😇
So it’s not only Americans who demand to be served their own culture in foreign lands.
A late evening favourite at my high school dances.
Yes. Until the levee breaks again. A great expense.
I don’t use the TikTok app, so I’m commenting the “headline”. Floods cannot be prevented!! Flooding can be mitigated, usually imperfectly and at great expense. People can be warned to evade and avoid floods. But floods cannot be prevented.
I hope this is not harbinger of a “big one”.
The true goal of the Villainaires: company towns, company stores, no way out.
We watch and worry and wish them all the best! 🇨🇦
By the ninety-seven moons of Jupiter! You doth fulfill the promise of thy name this day, @thestarshipentity.bsky.social !
I have no evidence, but it feels true; I get MORE cranky after The “Not-My-Team” wins the Stanley Cup. But it’s summer, so beers and BBQ help me take the edge off.
Only those with a soul can see themselves.
I’m struggling to not fall of my chair laughing! 🤣
Do they actually send those alerts that actually matter to you?
Chimps seem a better choice than most humans in this era of Chump.
Wrath of God, eh!
He will never do it again, because he didn’t do it the first time, right?
Oooh! Want.
Absolutely! What kind of morality lets you commit heinous barbaric acts, then get pardoned every Sunday?
Nothing to reveal. No action. “This is fine.”
Well why not eh!
Meanwhile “I’m Looking Out For #1“ … youtu.be/N4_0Pt3HAR8?...
I’m gone have to visit my secret download site, ‘cuz I don’t have Luba!
“Starlight, star bright!” Our sight adapts incredibly to even the darkest night.
Luba is a great deep cut!
I will never trust news from CBS nor ABC until true owners denounce Chump and the Hidden Villainaires. Luckily we all can access international news sources. So far.
There's a minimum speed limit! The fine is taking a bullet.
It really was / is very good!
"a meal to feast on" = overflowing public funding
Don’t worry about this stuff! By the end of July we won’t have to see images like this, nor the analysis that comes with. DoD is going to stop sharing space imagery with other agencies. This comment is only partly sarcastic.
The Dark Side of The Moon!
Somebody’s gonna shoot and then it’ll be a free-for-all.
