"Okay, but can you make these out of molybdenum?"

Biden just announced they're sending two high-end anti-air systems (which is a drop in the ocean, but we've seen that the established US pattern of "send a couple and see what the Ukrainians can do with them. Send more if it goes well."), as well as an unspecified number of sensitive count...

Yeah, I mean the reason you don't expect fake change is exactly because it IS a pretty dumb idea in the first place . Passing your fake-ass shit is nearly always the much harder part of counterfeiting, and doing stuff with so little value means you've multiplied that part of the work by an order of ...

As most us know, people don't normally counterfeit small change. Well it turns out that getting mills in China to churn out large amounts of cheap fake coinage actually makes this financially viable, and with typically no protection against counterfeit coins exactly because "people don't normal...

I was watching stupid clips when I tripped over this ancient vidja shitpost

Basically a couple of big things matter and I'm not sure how they turn out. 1) How many heavy weapons does the west send and how soon? 2) How many warm bodies can Russia rustle up to keep throwing in this and how quickly (we know there's no big wave coming)? 3) What have the Russians done - or not d...

I mean... YEAH?

Ahhh... the old "blowing Bubbles" joke updated for a new generation.

Then again, with Honk Heaven seemingly becoming A Thing somehow, maybe even the old boomer humour version is new again too.

There was also a tiny line - almost a footnote - I saw in coverage today that really got my attention. Mayor of Enerhodar Dmytro Orlov additionally stated that Russian authorities in Enerhodar are spreading fake information that non-cash payment systems will no longer be making hryvnia payments in o...

One of my favourite things in the news is when journalists get so low-key dry that they casually freezer-burn their targets. The Russian Defense Ministry has claimed that Russian forces defeated all Ukrainian drone and missile attacks leading up to their retreat despite considerable evidence to the ...

After a massive artillery and missile barrage by Ukraine, Russian forces have just abandoned Snake Island!

EDIT: Russia stated they withdrew as a "show of goodwill" to demonstrate that they're not holding up grain exports from Ukraine. FUCKING. LOLZ.

Don't get my hopes up like that!

Ted Cruz started another fight with Elmo.

'Mystery rocket' that crashed into the Moon baffles NASA scientists, leaving odd double crater. So far, no space exploring nations have claimed responsibility for the rocket. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWQs_reX0AAblLn?format=png&name=small It's from earth (obv), as the rocket was observed by N...

Someone came up with an idea so terrible that you could pitch it to Muskie and he might actually pause to think about rejecting it as too absurd (before running another capital scam with it anyway). 1540994831555727363 I mean, it has to be complete bullshit. But I can appreciate "too excessive ...

Yeah, I've reached a point where I'm like "You know, I could just watch something that's actually... good." Or at least funnier to dunk on.

Bad Star Wars hurts too much to enjoy dunking on it, at least for me.
