Say what you will about the guy, he's got more experience shooting down civilian jets than almost anyone.

Hahaha.

Also, per the BBC's reporting:

Earlier, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported that the jet was shot down by air defences in Tver region, north of Moscow.

Surprisingly not surprising.

I love the X-32, and it’s a shame that MD took over post merger then fucked up Boeing as bad as they did.

Also, yes I’m just stealing from other communities.

Everyone who uses Chrome (or Brave, Vivaldi, Arc, or anything else that uses Chromium as a base) - you're helping google extend their power over the open web, and those helping them do this.

It's a small thing, but Google's power over the web derives from each of the the millions of people who continue to make Chrome the standard that webdevs cater to.

A former intel officer testified to a house committee that the US has had a UFO retrieval program for years, and that we've recovered non-human "biologics" from the crash sites. He has no direct knowledge of anything, by his own admission, but he's willing to provide more detail to congress in a secure facility.

I'll keep the possibility open, I guess, but it sounds like absolute bullshit for a variety of reasons.

He announced the rebranding in a tweet sent last Saturday in the middle of the night. You know, like any competent business person would.

A Reddit spokesperson declined to comment about this year’s edition of r/Place, telling Polygon via email “redditors are going to reddit.”

Honestly, that's probably the best response he could've given.

Unilever, too. I think this means they're actually handing over information about the employees to the government so they can be conscripted. Also, fuck them for still operating there at all.

Russia is amazing in all the worst ways.

Reproduced here for easier amusement:

1/ Russia's space agency Roskosmos is reportedly evaluating options for using space rockets to drop aerial bombs on Ukraine from orbit. The proposal is likely to face serious technical difficulties, not least the risk of bombs burning up from the heat of atmospheric reentry.

2/ The Russian BRIEF Telegram channel reports that former Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin has been discussing the proposal with Dmitry Baranov, director general of the Progress Rocket Space Centre, before taking it to Vladimir Putin last week.

Rogozin reportedly envisages using Russia's Vostochny and Plesetsk cosmodromes to launch bomb-carrying rockets into space to drop "heavy FABs" (presumably the FAB-500 500-kilogram (1,100 lb) general purpose air-dropped bomb) on "NATO equipment" in Ukraine.

3/ Baranov, understandably, has questions. According to BRIEF, he objected that the bombs would overheat on the way down. "It's travelling at over 6 kilometres per second. That's practically space speed. It's like the Soyuz TMA [spacecraft] coming back. It's the same shit."

4/ According to Baranov, rockets launched from Vostochny can carry 7.5 tons, while launches from Plesetsk can carry 10 tons, minus a ton in each case for "insurance". He is said to envisage a 6-9 month timeframe for adapting the rockets into bombers, though he seems to be uncertain about how this can be done. Rogozin reportedly envisages adapting "the toys of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering" to shield the FABs from reentry heat.

5/ BRIEF reports that Rogozin planned to send a paper to Anton Vaino, Putin's chief of staff, who is said to be interested and intending to "report to the chief on this matter". It's not known what Putin himself thinks of the idea

Nobody with the power to fire spez has a problem with what he's doing. This is likely driven by VCs and other investors wanting their money now that the Fed has turned off the cash hose.

Honestly, Russia was a huge mistake and we should just glass them already.

Look up how her grandfather died.

Man, I'm so glad this global warming thing is leftist propaganda or I'd really be freaking out right now.

Some explosions reported at the Kerch Strait bridge. Again.

Over the past few days , possibly longer, someone has been making new accounts and using them to post scat porn in various communities here. Like, gifs of poop coming from buttholes.

What the fuck and can we do something about it?

Russia backing hackers threatened to disrupt the SWIFT network, causing international banking chaos; the idea is to disrupt western support for Ukraine.

Judging by my ATM card working just fine earlier today, I guess it was a noncredible threat.
