regardless of your opinions on nuclear energy, it should be horrifying that anyone thought it was a good idea to structure an organization like this...

This is why we can’t have nice things.

i think i deserve to have titanium-alloy armour, jump jets, and a small shoulder-mounted missile launcher

RED DEAD REDEMPTION II ᨖ

getting second hand embarrassment on the dash tonight

Hell your generation claims to be against colonization and then supports one of the greatest colonizers in the history: the Arabs.

jesus christ who cares about the fucking trump stormy daniels trial. I know the real answer is "normie americans" and that's like so sad but come on. who gives a shit about this bullshit.

I mean the part where it's a porn star being paid hush money is not interesting, but the part where Donald Trump might face prison time due to his complete inability to control his behavior seems worth knowing at least a little bit about

I get that part but some of the evidence the court is allowing testimony on, if the reports are accurate, have me believing the judge just wants to embarrass Trump.

remember all those people who were always going "noo! don't ne mean to the cute doggo! the little pupper!"?

...yeah... we were telling you.

I mean it isn't made for nor appear very good at people hunting, which is a rather important part of being a people hunting robot hound. being quadrupedal is not something inherently sinister

I looked at the website and it appears to be by a flamethrower company who fucking love flamethrowers. this is the exciting future of fire delivery! it delivers fire anywhere you want and is ready for any challenge as long as that challenge is related to flamethrowing. the main page has a quiz to see what flamethrower is right for you and offers a chance to stay up to date on the latest flamethrower news. this is unironically one of the things that stirs up anything close to positive feelings in me, people who are unabashedly excited and passionate about very weird things.

it's also ten thousand dollars so it fucking better be able to solve any flamethrowing-related challenge. they have drone-mounted flamethrowers but apparently the reason you'd want to use this is a drone flamethrower has to use a much smaller fuel tank and can't use electric arc ignition and isn't as stable

there are probably six or seven people in the world who are like VFX guys or have farms where they need to frequently clean brush, and they saw this, and they went "This is exactly what I need, it's so cool, I love flamethrowers!" and good for them.

of course all the people losing their shit in the comments because "this is a new thing, therefore it is scary, therefore it is a tool of oppressive dystopia to hurt protesters" annihilated any good feelings I got.

if the roomba were invented today you'd be s screaming about how the capitalists will use it to sweep up protestors, and how this proves we live in a dystopian capitalist hellscape. this has absolutely no application for oppressing people because it's really really really bad at doing anything that would be useful for oppression. it's fragile, really expensive, slow, doesn't do what oppressors want, and is outclassed by every option that's an actual weapon.

you could defeat this thing by chucking a rock at it while it whirrs and ambles into position. if there is anything robots love more than anything, more than being evil, more than paper clips, it's falling over.

⚪  Wed morning - ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime

📌 WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BE HUMAN SHIELDS.. IDF: “We need you to evacuate. You don’t have much time left.”   GAZAN: ’Strike us, do whatever you want. Our children must also die so we can expose your brutality.  Do whatever you want, everyone wants to die from our side.  We love death the way you love life.’  https://twitter.com/TheMossadIL/status/1787530064801759279

♦️IDF ATTACKS LAUNCHERS.. IDF forces attacked in the Rafah region the launcher from which the shooting was carried out, Hamas continues firing into Kerem Shalom, damaging aid delivery capability. (IDF Spox)

🔘WHITE HOUSE DEMANDS:  (( throw your dead soldiers bodies out of the way, instantly repair the damage, and )) “open the crossings and deliver fuel into the Strip (today).”  "Closing the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings by Israel is unacceptable."  The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announced that the Kerem Shalom Crossing is reopening today (( the bodies were shoveled out of the way )) for bringing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

♦️OTEF AZA FARMERS TOLD TO NOT ENTER FIELDS.. An unusual instruction this morning for farmers in Otef: not to go to work in the agricultural areas adjacent to the border fence in the Gaza Strip.  In the background: widespread IDF activity also in the north of Gaza and explosions heard in the area.

♦️ACTIVE FIGHTING.. in eastern Rafah. (Per Arab reports)

⭕ HEZBOLLAH ROCKET BARRAGE at Kiryat Shmona and surrounds overnight.

❗️ANOTHER HOSTAGE DETERMINED MURDERED.. Lior Rudaif was murdered on 7/10 and that his body was kidnapped to Gaza by Hamas terrorists.  That’s 39 known murdered among the 132 remaining hostages.

❗️ANALYSIS - HEZBOLLAH SOON.. (The Arab Desk) The expansion of the operation in Rafah will force Hezbollah to respond.  If Hezbollah enters the campaign fully, Syria will not sit idly by.

🔸DEAL ACTIVITY.. US: Kirby,  "Optimistic about the ability of both sides to bridge the gaps between Hamas and Israel during the current round of talks in Egypt." (( Is he joking? ))

.. Hezbollah completely rejected all the proposals.  The message that Hezbollah sent was clear, there is no resolution 1701, there are no discussions before the definitive cessation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip.

.. The head of the CIA, William Burns, is expected to arrive in Israel today, and meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu and other officials.

▪️REMEMBER THE AID PIER?  The Pentagon: American forces will move the temporary port and sea bridge to Gaza when weather conditions improve. (I don’t know about the sea, but weather in Israel is perfect today, cool spring weather, winds at 2 mph due east off of Gaza.)

▪️NEWS OF THE WEIRD - EXCESSIVE TURTLES.. About 57 LARGE turtles (or maybe tortoises?) were found to be kept illegally in a private house in Rishon Lezion. The turtles were taken for examination and treatment at the Ramat Gan Safari Wildlife Hospital.

An illuminating gesture: Drones light up NY skies with messages about Hamas hostages

500 drones formed messages in the skies above New York City skies calling for the return of the hostages from Gaza; Actor and avid Israel supporter, Michael Rapaport: 'I am here because of the suffering and madness the families of the hostages are enduring'

Daniel Edelson, New York

Tuesday night in the Big Apple an event captured the city's attention, as 500 drones lit up the sky with the message "Bring Them Home Now," calling for the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The gathering was marked by the presence of family members of the hostages, former hostage Moran Stella Yanai, actor Michael Rapaport, actress Debra Messing, music producer Scooter Braun, and fashion designer Donna Karan. The ceremony was driven by a powerful plea: "After 7 months in captivity, it is time to free the living hostages and to bring the murdered to their eternal resting place."
