ANOTHER airplane crash. So many casualties and crashes over the past month. It's almost as if we should have had an FAA chief, head of TSA and not put a freeze on qualified air traffic controllers.

But, hey, President Musk wants more of the pie so Trump will give it to him. Good…

Thanks Trump for freezing FAA flight control hires!

You are murdering people.

Or are u blaming DEI, Biden & Obama — under which we had nearly no major airline crashes???

these birds are so r-slurred. first, which pervert ornithologist named them this? disgusting. boobies, tits, peepees, shags. what is wrong with these people?

second, i HATE that their beak is concealed like that. they look fricked up and deformed. also disgusting. beakless freaks. debeaked. GIVE HIM HIS BEAK BACK!!!

they are lekking birds, which basically means to Get B-words, a bunch of males gather in a group (called a lek) and desperately display for the females. however because they are r-slurred they often forget about the females and start fighting each other.

also, peepee-of-the-rock leks are fundamentally useless imo because there's a single Chad Male that gets almost all the females, and the rest of the incel males get nothing. lmao

>FAIRHOPE, AL—Exploiting the popular online game platform for his own perverse ends, local Roblox user Rodney McKinney, 68, was accused of grooming 56-year-old Roblox user Walter Rhodes, sources confirmed Wednesday. "For the past several months, Mr. McKinney, a 68-year-old Roblox user, used the game as a means to foster an inappropriate relationship with an impressionable young 56-year-old that was sexual in nature," said officer Mike Cavazos, noting several obscene messages in which the baby boomer offered the much younger Gen X user Robux in exchange for lewd images of Rhodes' flabby, mature body. "It was clear from their correspondence that Mr. McKinney knew the victim was 56, as he stated in chats that he was 'old enough to be [Rhodes'] supervising manager.' And though he claimed that messages inviting the victim to move off Roblox to a more private LinkedIn chat were innocent, we believe otherwise." At press time, authorities claimed McKinney attempted to conceal his indiscretions by warning Rhodes not to "tell your mom, if she's still alive."

Period.

a nuclear incident relating to Israel somehow.

Will it happen in Israel?

We're all going to die in a nuclear war, but I tend to think it will happen some place we never imagined. I mean read this if you mongoloid zoomers are capable of following a command: You are in way more danger of being killed in a nuclear war than we were in the Cuban Missile Crisis. The technology is a little different, you can talk about propellants and kilotons and throw weight, but humanity is fricked.

That's basically it. After the authorization is given, it's just a couple zoomers from Tacoma (jfc I like these kids but the fate of the world...) pushing a couple buttons and 80% of Russians will die. And they would only do this if the other side had already done the same to us.

Kids like me assumed it would be the evil commies who started it. You look at Soviet planning and they were hoping it didn't go nuclear because we would have beat the shit out of them and kept more radioactive ruins. This is the situation we're in right now. (Europeans it will be MRBMs, don't play like you're not in it.) All of that "campy" stuff about fallout shelters? Well it'll be really campy slowly die from radiation poisoning and get eaten by crows, you dumb b-word. And then the crows die, so even in contribute nothing to the world.

I cannot emphasize to you r-slurs enough. Somebody could push a button and in 30 minutes all your FunkoPops, Nintendo shit, whatever shit you console r-slurs like, will be gone. Now I'm a total sperg and I can sit down with you and tell you what things in the house survived, but you're gonna wish you were dead. And that isn't crazy old r-slur Redactor, that's Distubingly Calm Redactor who has read all of these books.

I dunno who drops it first or what reason they had but the fallout that kills you ain't gonna give a shit either.

Thats a LOT more women and POCs to be considered "token" (36)

The way he shoves them into positions of high attention while quietly gutting women and POC from their previous roles of real authority is what makes them tokens. But yeah you got a blonde woman press secretary again, you did it lads. (-28)

Ohhhhhhh. I get it now! It's okay to give preferential treatment to minorities and women because shit was unfair for them, checks notes, fifty years ago. And because there's an unproven possibility that some employers are being racist in one direction, we have to not only allow, but encourage, the rest to be racist in the other direction. Cuz balance. Yeah, man, makes total sense. This is good racism. (0)

My bad! You're so right! I forgot one of the core tenets of the MAGA cult is that you must believe racism and sexism ended the day we put the bill up. RACISM IN THE WORKPLACE?! Not in 50 years my guy! All of the "proven possibilities" died that day! Evil Libs in 1972 were not only building weather weapons, but they were pushing TITLE IX as an anti man bill then! Disgusting! Didn't they know racism and sexism was exhausted by 1970!50 years to educate and mobilize a workforce in a male dominated field. 50 years later there's still men in Blizzard and RIOT making the workplace heck for anyone without a peepee.But yeah. We only had problem's 50 years ago. Lmfao ludicrous. You said it in your last part that you feel the system is racist. And that's fine! I think you should feel a bit outraged that white people are losing opportunities. Every American should have opportunity. But since you admit that there's racism occurring in both directions and still feel necessary to burn the direction ... (1)

Sure, racist actions like this?https://apnews.com/article/c4834e48841d97c5a93312b1bf75302a Trump signs bill restoring funding for black collegesOr would you rather say that something 51 years ago is more relevant?😂🤦 (1)

Not renting to black people for years is always racist no matter when it happened. Especially when he has never apologized. And saying Obama was born in Africa over and over again without a shred of evidence, is racist. It's pandering to racists. Which is just as bad as being a racist. There is no difference. And defending it is racist. You can say dumb things trying to whitewash it will silly language like he was just "exaggerating" or he wanted attention by saying. Doesn't make him any less of scumbag racist. (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

God the bee is literally just 90% Trump propaganda now. This is literally used so the right can spread misinformation but when argued by people on the left they can just say "duh you stupid, it's satire". It's exactly like when Tucker Carlson was knowingly spreading misinformation people actually believed, then got brought to court for it, and the argument was no reasonable person would believe what he said. People do believe this shit and it's damaging the country (1)

Me with my 4070

So recently there was a post that got removed from /r/RPG about how punching nazis is a great thing so you should buy my stuff and I'll give 5% of the money to a good cause. You know, the anti-capitalist way.

Well, that post got jannied; only the jannies were very keen for the sub to know that while they do it for free, they didn't do that for free - it was done by the admiggers who, unlike the jannies, get paid to mop. The jannies of /r/rpg then pinned the seethepost to the top of the sub to ensure everyone knows that they do it for free.

This then caused a bunch of extra virtue signalling nazi resisting to pop up, including:

Remaking the post under a "cleverly" reworded title

And finally, another re-linking to the bundle but this time with even more seething about the admins

One comment on that thread is promoting the game Eat the Reich which is... not good as notepad anon summarizes:

They got sucked into that right wing media bubble. Don't underestimate its power. And now Drump is trying to kill PBS, NPR, CBS, and is forcing any non-right wing media out of White House and Pentagon press briefings. Soon there won't be anyone left to report on the real news. ALL news is looking doomed to be right wing. Welcome to authoritarian heck. (9)

A lot of these comments are pretty mean, and while I think it was dumb of her, I think people have to remember not everyone who voted for trump is a monster. Not everyone who voted for trump is racist, some of them saw how bad things were under Biden and didn't want Kamala and didn't investigate exactly what was going on. We have uninformed voters, but most dangerous of all misinformed voters. We have the media saying crime is on the rise and immigration is a matter of homeland security and neither are true and both parties are running with it. The Democrats are ratcheting right, but they can't out-flank the Republican party. There comes a time when if the Democrats are just doing the same inhuman shit but with a cleaner coat of paint, 1 Democrats are going to stop coming out to vote, 2 more people are going to vote Republican. Democrats keep chasing the idea of stealing votes from the Republican base and all it is doing is shrinking their own. With a world on fire, to a lot of peop... (1)

No, it's embarrassing to watch him.Be our leader.. Nobody's united, everybody on the right waits. to see what he wants, and then they all share the same brain,.

At least two characters are pretty much confirmed

The other two are wild cards. They could go with a Divine General rep

Why did Elon Musk just say Trump wants to bring two stranded astronauts home?

For reasons that were not immediately clear, SpaceX founder Elon Musk took to his social media site X on Tuesday evening to make a perplexing space-based pronouncement.

"The POTUS has asked SpaceX to bring home the 2 astronauts stranded on the Space_Station as soon as possible. We will do so," Musk wrote. "Terrible that the Biden administration left them there so long."

Now generally, at Ars Technica, it is not our policy to write stories strictly based on things Elon Musk says on X. However, this statement was so declarative, and so consternation-inducing for NASA, it bears a bit of explication.

lmao bullshit, Ars loves to sneed about everything Elon does; it's basically TMZ but only covering Elon.

Foremost, NASA has gone to great lengths to stress that the two astronauts referenced here—Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams—are not stranded on the International Space Station.

The astronauts are clearly stranded as has been covered extensively over the last year by even leftie organisations:

NPR also released an article insisting that the astronauts aren't stranded - https://www.npr.org/2025/01/28/nx-s1-5278636/iss-astronaut-rescue-spacex-trump:

Ars comments are of course mad:

Why wouldn't the US government want to bring two stranded astronauts home? Why is this the top comment? What are you mad about?

They were meant to be there for eight days. The eighteen month stay was planned.

And yet they're still stranded there, curious. Why don't they just fly back home? They must want to be there.

The bottom two comments - note the guy who's had an account for 17 years.
