Man, I hope he failed.

Well.

You see. J-douche up there? He likes ‘em young and thinks every guy does, too.

To be fair, they did say “biological job”

So I’d go with Rosalind Franklin who was 30ish when she did the X-ray diffusion thing and found dna was molecular.

Or Barbara McClintock, 46, for her work on “jumping genes”.

;)

Still gods, though.

and this is why Diocletian invented googly eyes.

Disney’s live action of The 3 musketeers.

it’s definitely a classic comedy… and if you’re into reading classics, it’s based on le trois mousquetaires, by Dumas. well. as based-on as anything dinsey does; but one thing they absolutely did capture was Dumas’s ridiculousness (which itself, as putatitively historical fiction, may have captured the ridiculousness of certain classes of people- namely politicians like the Cardinal, royalty like the king, and the people who fought for them.)

In the books, though, D’Artagnian has to serve 2 years in another military outfit and- perhaps ironically- the king places him in the cardinal’s guards just on the advent of war. (A war, which see’s our 3 musketeers and D’artagnian having lunch in no-man’s land as they lay siege to an english castle. Over a bet.)

FIFA gave him a peace prize, though. And then one of their muckety-muck dumbfucks got out of some charges that were pending.

take your pick:

• deployment to Minneapolis (under what trump himself has called an invasion.) (don’t believe his lies. the only unrest here is brought by federal agents violating the shit out of our rights.)

• initiating what is certainly an act of war in Venezuela.

• Same for Denmark should that happen.

• using the military to engage civilian ships in Venezuelan waters with lethal force rather than using the cost guard for police actions.

Also to your specific example, yes, it is. Constitutionally, the president is not allowed to initiate wars without approval by congress. This has been pissed away for longer than I’ve been alive, using ‘authorizations’ but it’s still largely there. (Korea, Vietnam. Iraq/Afghanistan, etc.) the only currently still active war authorization is related to the 2002 authorization meant to go after the people behind 9/11, and any attempt to link that to Venezuela is going to be a lie. (never mind Greenland and the rest of NATO.)

You dont have to obey illegal orders.

In fact, UCMJ makes it quite clear: you have to refuse them.

It’s really disconcerting that our president can’t even pass a fucking Turing test.

Someone above and behind him got shot. You can see it in the videos that it was with the fist shot.

I’m saying he wasn’t the target.

It’s more aerodynamic than a brick.

Yes, the cockpit was under sling to make space for cargo, but they didn’t have to make that look like a beluga nose.

Is it just me, or does using soviet-era aircraft in roles it wasn’t technically designed for just scream desperation on their part?

Honestly, I’m not entirely convinced that the bullet missed at all.

IT CAN’T BE THAT GOOD!

(Tifoe was responding to a woman screaming from an open apartment window… IIRC)

and beards.

I dunno why, but this guy always makes me feel insecure in my masculinity. (I can’t grow a beard to save my life. Not an attractive one, anyways.)

what’s hilarious about the movie is it did, in fact, manage to capture the absolute absurdity of the books, even if that’s probably the only thing accurate from the book.

“This sash is a gift from the Queen of America!” is such a great line, too.

Also for the record, this was the OG Reichlieu:

So I have to say, Curry definitely nailed it.

honestly, I’d settle for a cat that looks at me like that.

I mean, don’t tell my partner I said that… she’s soooo much better. (she’d also probably dump me for the cat, if we’re being honest.) (just so people don’t get the wrong idea, we just aren’t at a place in our lives where a cat would be comfortable.)

one of these?

edit: apparently the Super Guppies were replaced by the BelugaXL

Which, like, can you imagine the conversation between whoever designed that nose profile and their boss… “It’s more aerodynamic boss. honest!”… “it’s not because we’re calling this thing a beluga?” … “maybe not just…”

The idea was that it would make figuring heading and speed hard to figure out. The guns were reaching at ranges where you needed to know that fairly accurately to land a shot even close to that.

The reason the dazzleflage went away was radar, which didn’t care about paint or even being close enough to be seen.
