  1. Yeah the movie studios are a lot more careful about ripping each other off compared to the comic publishers back in the day.
  2. Preview of the hearing today Prediction for tomorrow's UAP Congressional hearing: 1. Let's review the 5 grainy videos we've already seen a thousand times. 2. We are not 100% sure these are not alien spaceships or Chinese drones so... 3. In the name of national security we need more research (budget for 2025 enclosed). 4. Insiders claim to have personally back engineered super advanced craft or even seen captured aliens ("biologics"). 5. We cannot tell you who they are, where they were, or pictures of what they saw because it's classified. 6. Next year these whistleblowers will come forward to disclose the greatest discovery in the history of humanity...maybe. 7. Our expert witnesses today are available for media interviews, book contracts, documentary films, and especially paid speaking engagements. Inquire within. 2025 UAP Congressional hearing agenda: rinse & repeat

  4. I don't really have a problem with it personally, but I would think a lot of journalists and content creators would have a big issue with those kinds of terms.
  5. Yeah after that Texas Bowl loss to Arky he was told to never lose a bowl game like that again. We didn't realize he was going to go all "Can't get blown out in a bowl game if I never make another bowl game."
  6. Need to put myself down for a 4k rewatch in march
  7. There was a big increase. Bobby said he's giving all of them to Blake and his family
  8. I expect big things seeing as how he won a Heisman in my Texas dynasty with 99 speed and 99 acceleration.
  9. Link to join a group putting a class action together http://www.fightforourfunds.org/
  10. Someone in the area can say from their first hand perspective, but that article earlier made it sound like the one heterodox issue she decided to stake her career on was being pro higher housing costs. Almost have to admire either the naïvete or the chutzpah to stand for her belief.
  11. 2/ 1. Played right, it can actually help us in Ukraine better than under the Biden administration. Also remember that Ryzzland is now much weaker than in Trump's first term, and Trump doesn't hold back when he wants something - If the person I believe becomes the new administration's defense minister, the pro-Ukraine thinking will be maintained. Also, most of the Republican senators are pro-Ukraine, as well as the generals. This brings us to the next point.. 2. The Biden administration, with Biden himself at the head, has de facto tied us back by, despite the opposition of the US generals and military advisers, by forbidding us to use the weapons we received and bought as we ourselves want. In addition, many aid packages have been decided upon, but the truth is that most are still undelivered. So a lot of noise but little workshop. 3. Even under Trump, the US wants to maintain its status as the only superpower on earth, for this he needs allies. Now that he has a straight flush, i.e. the Republicans have a majority in the House of Representatives, the Senate, the presidency and the Supreme Court, he can pass decisions without frills 3/ Let's see the development until the installation of Trump, but I think it will be a boost for us. - So what should we be worried about? 1. The German Chancellor's proposal on the so-called Finlandization of Ukraine. This is the most horrible thing that can happen, because we do not have the factors in Ukraine that made it possible for Finland to balance on the tightrope and at the same time gain financially from it. We haven't -a competent president like Kekkonen, who was also very patriotic -a corruption-free administration in order to manage and pilot the right way among all the mines that exist in a finlandization -a heterogeneous population that would support the process (Finland had it) -allies who would support us, Finland had the Nordic countries behind it during the politically difficult years. 2. Still incompetent commanders who cause us to lose positions unnecessarily. 3. The corruption 4. The spies and dissidents/fifth columnists among our population 5. Eu´s promising but inability to get decisions. Now the EU must take its own responsibility for security policy and not cheat on the US, but are they capable of this? The EU's threat is a weakened Ukraine, but have they really realized this?
  12. I don't think that's a given yet. Let's take a step back from the my team lost doomerism and react to actual facts and actions to go all dramatic.
  13. Check out this thread at Thread Reader App. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1853917002580021457.html Western media & political commentary are dominated by "doomers" predicting short & long term outcomes on the 'inexhaustibility' of Russia's personnel & equipment pools, despite overwhelming evidence that Russia is struggling badly. Reality: Russia is in a crisis of loss. 🧵 1/ The following are the things I've been tracking for some time: 1. The Russians are losing an infantry division every week to 10 days in terms of soldiers at a rate of between with a 1,100 to 1,700 and associated equipment. 2/ 2. The Russian artillery is getting shorter ranged over time from losing the ability to make barrels and liners for 152mm guns. We are seeing literal WW2 122mm artillery pieces, presumably from North Korean stocks, in the Donbas. 3/ 3. Half of Russians artillery shells in 2024 are from the DPRK. AFU reports RuAF is only outshooting them 2-to-1 in total shell count. While ROK military intelligence says the DPRK only has another 3 months of artillery ammo left to send to Russia at current rates. 4/ 4. Training duration of replacement troops is getting shorter by the month. This means Russian replacements are less able to survive in combat. The average mobik now gets 7-to-10 days of training and most die in the first month. 5/ 5.The Russians are repurposing troops from other arms as infantry, despite loss of capabilities like maintainers for nuclear rocket forces or naval seapower or tactical airpower. 6/ All of the above means that Russia has burned out its pre-war trainers and it is darned near through its ex-Soviet reserves of war gear. The Russian economy is the size of Italy's in terms of GDP and most of the easily spent economic surplus is from oil and gas. 7/ Russia cannot build enough replacement war gear or munitions after the ex-Soviet stocks are gone to maintain the current pace of losses. 8/ Confirmed Russian battlefield equipment losses reach 2-year highRead morehttps://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/confirmed-russian-battlefield-equipment-losses-1730799222.html Furthermore, the Russian rail system is being overused the way the US rail system was in WW2. Its worse, since the Russian rail monopoly was run like a family business. They were stealing from the maintenance & engine replacement budgets since 2013. 9/ Unroll available on Thread Reader That is when the Rail monopoly abolished the maintenance department because they replaced old rail bearing with Western ones lasting 20 time longer. The wear out time for those bearing has arrived. 10/ Unroll available on Thread Reader The Russian railway system has been at 100% usage since the late summer of 2021. It's total tonnage carrying capacity has fallen by 1/5 from lack of maintenance & over use. Look closely at the difference between 2021 and 2024 to date. Chart, H/T @Prune602 11/ Finally, the Russian national fund runs out by early 2025 and no one is buying Russian national debt even at 21% interest rates. See: 12/ This means that Russia has to print money to keep the war going and the prices of everything in Russia right now are far higher than official statistics. 13/ The summation of all trends lands in the 1st quarter of 2025. What this is telling my gut is that the Russian economy will be in in the beginning of a 1990's scale financial/economic crisis. 14/14 End Unroll available on Thread Reader Help | About | TOS | Privacy | Twitter F
  14. this is what the yotta subreddit is saying. I think a lot of them are appealing and trying to set up a class action group.
  15. This girl is either courageous or has a death wish In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful reminder of Iranian women’s fight for freedom. Yes we use our bodies like weapons to fight back a regime that kills women for showing their hair. This happened at Tehran’s Science and Research University She has since been arrested by the authorities. Be her voice. #WomanLifeFreedom
  16. Is this supposed to be a good point or something?
  17. I wonder if this includes the Suwalki Gap Poland has started construction of the Eastern Shield on the border with Belarus and Russia, – Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The Eastern Shield involves the construction of fortifications, barriers and military facilities on NATO's eastern borders. The shield will be 700 kilometers long, will cost nearly $2.5 billion, and is scheduled to be completed by 2028. "The government intends to create a comprehensive defense infrastructure on NATO's eastern flank to counter threats from Belarus and Russia," Donald Tusk's office said.
  18. Is this for real? I only doubt because it's just fits too perfectly with all of our expectations The first video with a North Korean soldier who survived an attack by the armed forces on enemy positions has reached us - he says: "There were 40 North Koreans, they all died, I was left alone" The surviving soldier complains about putin and calls on his compatriots to come to their senses and stay at home. According to him, the russians promised that the soldiers of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea would build fortifications, but they forced them into battle in Kurshchyna.
  19. I wonder if Russia will take an IOU Russian court fines Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 https://gizmodo.com/russian-court-wants-google-to-cough-up-20000000000000000000000000000000000-2000517887
  20. Specifically I read the solid fuel mixers were hit and those have to be custom built in China. I do wonder if Iran and Russia's relationship will be a bit more strained going forward as they each have an enemy they have to fear striking them. Russia owes Iran some SU-35's from years ago. Instead it looks like Russia is going to tell them to just make their own: https://armyrecognition.com/news/aerospace-news/2024/iran-to-produce-su-30-and-su-35-fighter-jets-following-russias-agreement
  21. They finally revealed the funcopop spoiler. That was a crazy episode.
  22. It's a nice thought but you can just pay $14 a month for YouTube premium and get rid of all ads on all YouTube videos, along with free music streaming.
  23. It's pretty minor for the police, not necessarily worth their effort. My understanding is filing the report is more for documentation for your insurance and a civil suit.
