@WeThePeople omg look at that Nazi yarmulke 😱 no doubt taking his marching orders from that Nazi descended from Holocaust survivors leading the nation

@WeThePeople can you imagine how much he must Hate America to be leading such a crushing recovery like that? Next he's gonna push to increase wages 🙄 WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CAPITALISTS

Birbsite link, but an important one.

A nuclear power expert explains why the current situation in #ukraine at #zaporizhzhia is not an impending disaster. I was going to write something similar, but this person says it better than I ever could.

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Thumprhare @stueytheround yeah assuming the Russian commander isn't a maniac, this probably isn't a nuclear accident situation. Lotta lights gonna go out though if they shut the plant down.

This is a VVER-1000 design, not RBMK (Chernobyl style) legacy Gen 2 reactor. So not as dangerous in that sense, physically. Still a bad place for a firefight

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Thumprhare I believe the bright spot in the still image there on the left is a starshell, not a fire, based on the video I have seen and the smoke it was emitting. The bright spot on the right may be a fire though

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine yeah, on one of the videos from the purported live cam, there appears to be a fire on the right side of the screen. There's also a video of a starshell (flare on a parachute to illuminate the battlefield) coming down and what appears to be tracer fire. Hard to tell what could have started the fire, but it appears the lights are still on, so the damage seems minimal-ish. Not enough data, still looking

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine based on what I am seeing, I would characterize it as a firefight, not a bombing. Russian infantry dismounted. Maybe mortars and/or light artillery. Disposition of the defenders is unclear

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine IAEA blue-check birbsite says yes. Lots more at the Zaporizhzhia hashtag, mostly repeating shots of the same purported livecam. #ukraine

@killagator That remix is TITE. Too bad the only copy on Discogs is $45 for a VG+ 😂

About 80% of my vinyl collection (not huge, 300 or so) is 80s and early 90s twelve inches, but I've got a growing amount of modern disco house and assorted dance music as well.

@killagator underrated song by The Who. Emblematic of the influence of disco on AOR in the early 80s (as you infer)

@process cannot unhear

@corlin @XSGeek my wife and I have been roasting our own coffee for maybe a year and a half now. It's a lot easier than most people think, it can save you tons of money, and it's fun.

Green coffee beans are like eight to ten bucks a pound for single origin, fair trade beans, and they keep for years in a cool, dry place (vs. roasted coffee which is only good for about two weeks).

Maybe I'll make a video 🤔

@WeThePeople oh it is ON now

@northernbassist @MarianneWerzOBrien oh I'm certain this is true. I doubt it can be proven-proven without intelligence agencies getting involved, but the timing is clear, and that one accidental tweet from the Chinese censors makes it clear that it's a coordinated effort in the propaganda space.

@mcfate the wife and I keep talking about sitting down and watching Alien and Aliens one of these nights. Such amazing movies.

One of my favorite stories about Alien is that the set for the Nostromo was deliberately built to be cramped, and Ridley Scott kept everyone on-set for long hours in close quarters to amplify the feelings of paranoia and confinement.

Now I'm all excited to get the blu-rays out 🤣 #xenomorph #itsabughunt

@AkomoCombine thank you for sharing that, she seems like the kind of person I'd like to follow.

(I always feel like "thank you for sharing" sounds insincere, but I really mean it.)

@Anton 🤣 🤣 🤣
