I don't know about the rest of the images, but the last one is definitely photoshopped. Check out the reflection on the floor.

Well it's the first thing to personally affect them, so...

My guess is that he's useful to them, for now.

They'll eventually cast him aside like the trash he is. He either doesn't know it, or he's in denial.

I think their comment is supposed to sound like "Get back to work" when spoken quickly 😁

I have nothing to add to the conversation, except that that cat is freakin gorgeous!

Value gained, actually.

Don't forget about the vibe-based deportations

I see two issues with this bad boy:

1. The mouse is probably better off on a level surface, and
2. I don't have the space or money for one.

During the flagpole installation ceremony on Wednesday, Trump asked the construction workers if they were illegal migrants, and said he hoped they all voted for him.

Fucking unbelievable

ohhhh you touch my tra-la-la

Mmmm, my ding ding dong

Just gonna pitch in here, but I'm no expert. I was reading people's reactions when that TLD was introduced, and they raised concerns over the possibility that a bad actor could spoof an address that actually downloads a .zip file to your device when you click the link, even though you may assume it's an address to a page. No idea what a hypothetical virus could do from a compressed environment, but thats what I remember reading.

Sorry to any experts if I'm muddying the waters with a dumb take!

Could have been the blowoff valve for the turbo! Or a shitty muffler delete on a nearby Infiniti

He just wants to play commander and "say the line" like the big strong man he thinks he is. Not done having fun after his parade of toys apparently.

Coming soon: Trump™ Payday Loans! With only 470% APR!

Best shit I've seen all week.

Pun intended? But I agree. Something like this was inevitably going to happen.

I played the trumpet for several years and I love that instrument. It's bad enough that the names coincide; please don't make it worse 😭

Thanks for the info! I'm aware of JDAM from following the invasion of Ukraine, but I wasn't aware of the whole arming process.

Now, I may be underestimating my ignorance, but that doesn't look like JDAM to me. Seems a bit small. Also, the fact that the pilot suddenly looks toward the wing tells me that he was expecting it to shoot out in front, and only felt the mechanical release (or do they use small explosive bolts? I'm more versed in spaceflight so that's my only other guess 😅) and saw no visual confirmation that it fired.

Edit, just saw your edit! It's a gbu-12 I guess

Jokes aside, would this pose a threat other than the physical impact? I don't know many specifics about aircraft and their ordnance, but would this missile be armed just before launch, or once it clears a safe minimum distance, as with RPGs?

I felt like I was alone in being frustrated at this trend. However I found a bit of relief to discover, through messing around in a Win98 virtual machine, that they were occasionally using the term "app" back then as well. Of course it wasn't as ubiquitous as it is now, but whatever.

Also I thought I'd never see the Xbox kid meme again. What an unexpected throwback!
