Oh I firmly believe it is one. I'd say his goal would be to whip up some crazies and cause some damage.

Thankfully not many people listen to him any more. He's a bit of a national embarrassment.

I was gifted a 4K bluray player for Christmas. Whopper!

I immediately bought my favourite movie of all time - Aliens. I only got around to watching it recently and HOLY COW the detail. I grew up watching it on a VHS that I recorded off the TV.

I'm looking for some recommendations for things to visually blow me away. I was thinking of Interstellar, but I did watch that recently enough.

All suggestions welcome and thank you!

edit: Some absolute bangers of recommendations here, many of which I wouldn't have considered. Thanks folks!

Some things may go without saying, but Belgium's food agency issued a public health warning as the festive season wrapped up: don't eat your Christmas tree.

The unusual message came after the city of Ghent, an environmentalist stronghold in the country's northern Flanders region, raised eyebrows by posting tips for recycling the conifers on the dinner table.

Pointing with enthusiasm to examples from Scandinavia, the town website suggested needles could be stripped, blanched and dried - for use in making flavoured butter, for instance.

Asked what they thought of the idea, the reply from Belgium's federal agency for food chain security, AFSCA, was a resounding "No".

"Christmas trees are not destined to enter the food chain," it said in a statement.

Coming up to Christmas I generally make some small donations. Some of these I ask for as Christmas gifts because I'm old and basically have very basic wants and needs so I'm hard to buy for.

Curious to hear if / what others do.

I've expanded my annual list to include:

  • Wikipedia
  • Lemmy.world (my home instance)
  • Mozilla (I'm not happy with how they spend their money necessarily but I'm very thankful to have Firefox)
  • Signal messenger
  • A few Ukrainian things (u24.gov.ua is the official site if this is your thing but there's a great lady on Reddit I give to occasionally too)
  • The guardian (I read so many articles from there linked on here that I feel like I should and I really appreciate the lack of paywall and easy cookie rejection but never use the site logged in)

If a child gives you anything, anything at all, blade of grass, shell at the seaside, whatever - take it with real, heartfelt thanks. It is all they have to give.

Sgt Schultz also collected data on US fighter aircraft, military tactics, and the US military's defence strategy for Taiwan, based on what it learned from Russia's war in Ukraine.

42 grand to sell out your country and fellow soldiers like that?!?! Fuck. Me. I am utterly shocked at how cheap that is.

Such alliteration. I'm in awe. Like 6 B words in a row and not one of them is bitch.

Amazing.

40 built total, some exported with roughly 7 active in the Russian air force according to Wikipedia. Cost to build around $330M.

From what I understand the reality after the last one was downed is that there were probably 4 left active with the rest being used for parts because of sanctions.

Absolutely savage work.

"No. Have you?"

Top ten movie zinger for me. Delivered perfectly. Loved her character so much.

In fairness the setup was absolutely beautiful. She's some woman for the zingers.

Really nice summary. Heads up you say Pakistani instead of Palestinian a few times.

Never knew about the Uganda thing. Fascinating. Must read more on that.
