Honestly I'm only surprised it's taken this long.

They don't even have to deploy that many - the shipping lane is narrow and even the threat of mines is enough to stop any sensible commercial ship captain from risking it.

"Half his body was under water, & half above it; & this was carried all over the sea β€” a piteous sight β€” fastened in death upon the ship's ram. Both fleets now increased their speed, & the rowers' faces, as they sped on, were spattered with a bloody dew from the splashing oars." - Sil. Pun. 14.480

According to the ancient historian Eutropius (Brev. 2.27), today marks the anniversary of the Battle of the Egadi Islands, fought on March 10, 241 BCE. I have the privilege of working on the battle site itself, where excavations have recovered a remarkable range of material!

A Sci-Fi Comedy in Disguise: Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie Parodies a Classic - Reactor Like Galaxy Quest and Young Frankenstein, Nirvanna is a lover letter as good as its inspiration

We may easily convince you that Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie isn't a Nirvana documentary, but @mbyrd.bsky.social would also like to add that it's a Back to the Future parody (and it's even a good one):

The #Bettrification Curve is steepening.

The global EV fleet has grown from ~100,000 vehicles in 2015 to 80 million in 2025.

What looked like slow adoption a decade ago is now entering the exponential phase of the S-curve.

The energy transition doesn’t move linearly β€” it tips.

#EV -> #NEV

My running list of the Trump Adminstration’s strategic mistakes is becoming a running pamphlet. You are entering an asymmetric war and the best supplier of drones (who owes you some favors) offers you a deal for drones and you are like, nah, we got this all planned out.

Q: "You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school…but you're the only person in your government saying this…Why are you the only person saying this?"
