An Epidemic of ‘Victory Disease’ The president is pointing to the American military’s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.

It’s rough being Gul Ducat’s main squeeze.

“The Making of the Atomic Bomb” goes into this, but basically nukes allowed the US to do with one aircraft what previously took 100.

Many years ago I read an otherwise dire Spider Robinson book that had a werebeagle.

I once had 15 minutes to get from the C gates to the F gates in SLC. I live at sea level. I was halfway to Cedar City before I caught my breath.

When I was in the Army in 85-88 I was 6’ and 165#. Pretty average for the time.

Sadly, today, I’m neither 6’, nor 165#..

Trump’s “Warflation” Has Just Begun If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?

Get ready for some "warflation": higher prices for oil, gas, food (lots of fertilizer passes through Hormuz), goods made with petrochemicals (umbrellas, shampoo, toys, etc.), and pretty much anything that needs to be transported anywhere.

Old maps, like when we bombed the Chinese embassy in Serbia?

Sad trombones this evening?

Glad I never went there, since I like @wilwheaton.net

I occasionally see humor posts I made to Usenet via Delphi passed around as memes. Before that I was on WWIVnet and telnetted into MUSHes.

There are still people on Al Gore's internet who remember when it got pictures.

Do not speak to us of the deep magic, witch. We were there when it was written.

This should be good news for Ukraine.
