Oh, some of y'all might remember that earlier this week I was talking about some ST:TOS replica props I had on preorder that were scheduled for release on the 24th. Surprise, they've been delayed again, this time until May 2nd. That's about six months later than the original release date.
I ordered a bunch of just plain wash cloths at the same time I ordered other things. We had gift certs for the war on christmas so I was responsible and used them for things we needed.
Anywho, all the other things came. The washcloths are...still pending.
I got a notice something was shipping to me next week and I had no idea what it was. Turns out it was something I ordered weeks ago that apparently was on backorder.
I can't complain overtly. I mean I order things cause too lazy/hate crowds to just go get it myself. So not really that comparable to your special "can only get it here" things at all XD
Oh, I was also looking through my UPS notifications and saw one from the 13th labeled "delivered to front desk/office," which sounds like it went to the old apartment address. So I guess I'll run out there later today and see if there's anything there for me.
Nope. Although I imagine the current not-war is probably screwing with things. But it could be anything. Toy release dates are always getting rescheduled.
They're pleased about the historic, hard-fought deal and remind reporters that it's also significant for the future of women in sports beyond basketball.
At first, the researchers on the boats didn’t understand what they were witnessing in the waves below. A group of 11 sperm whales huddled together at the surface, strangely still and taking occasional shallow dives. After about an hour, the animals seemed to start thrashing, and a plume of blood reddened the water. The researchers feared trouble, maybe a shark attack. But it was something else.
Suddenly, a much smaller, 12th whale appeared, lifted to the surface by the others so it could breathe...
The birth they documented took place in July 2023 off the coast of Dominica in the Caribbean. Thanks to the technology on hand, it was captured by two drones in the air, acoustic recorders in the water and photographs from the boats, giving scientists a wealth of information to examine. Shane Gero, a marine biologist with the group who has studied the whales in question since 2005, identified the individuals and provided their family trees.
He has followed the mother, known as Rounder, since she was nursing from her own mother, Lady Oracle, who was present at the birth and particularly attentive to Rounder before the delivery, he said...
They found that the whales oriented to the mother during labor and to the newborn after delivery. Sperm whale calves cannot immediately swim effectively, and a core group of individuals — Rounder, her sister Aurora, and a young, unrelated whale named Ariel — spent the most time lifting the newborn. But every whale in the group acted as “a primary supporter” at some point, including the sole male, an adolescent named Allan who was starting to leave the group to embark on a largely solitary life, as male sperm whales do. But he appeared at the birth.
The calf was rarely left untouched, and it was usually being touched by at least two whales simultaneously...
Well, the republican lawmakers here in OK are whining because the medicaid/Medicare expansion is costing TOO MUCH, and they want to send it back to the public to remove it from our constitution. Ha, good luck with that. Perhaps they should send the amendment that makes raising taxes impossible back to us so we can get some funding around here.
Wasn't Marijuana supposed to save the state? And the lottery before that. And horse racing, that was supposed to save public schools. Where did all that money go?
In other thin skinned get the fuck over it news, a comedian from Zimbabwe, as a regular part of his act, jokes that the song in the Lion King (when Simba is presented to sky/people) translates to "Look, there's a lion." Again, this is a comedian.
One of the people involved in composing that song is now suing the comedian for their joke.
Using expensively trained rapid response troop as provocation and cannon fodder... Sounds pretty stupid and rife with classic errors, but then, 11 dimension chess is a mystery to me.
I like to watch FB reels every now and then, and lately they're full of AI slop of US cities being attacked with missiles and bombs. l have seen some speculate it's there so that we're primed to accept a real attack.
Can't get a carrier nearby because it's past Hormuz. Could stick one reasonably close.
Although that one what caught fire is still a bit fucked. Also a bunch of countries are "don't use our fucking airspace for your dumbass chicanery, orange assclown"
So ... where's the evac route should it come to it? Oh, there isn't one?
Oh hai 82nd Airborne - how's this suicide mission sound to you?
The problem with military thinking is that it’s tainted by the success of remarkable events while ignoring the high probability outcomes. Every operation will be an Entebbe, not an Alamo.
You ever see the battle plans for retaking Pacific islands in WW2? Incredible. Reams upon reams of documentation and planning. "We need two hospital ships because we expect x casualties" - everything planned.
It's easy to think of the military as dunces but they're really fucking not. The really good ones are post-PhD level of ability.
Of course, Piggy thinks he's smarter than all of them.
And yet, by all rights and against all odds, we prevailed at Midway. Tarawa was supposed to be a walk ashore. Who knew that armor piercing 16” rounds would bounce off a coconut log?
We knew the objective, not the plan. It was the chance sighting of a picket ship’s wake and a pilot’s hunch that “well, he’s gotta be going somewhere,” that turned the result.
I overheard some other commuters talking this morning. This pair have been generally supportive of our idiot president. One mentioned his group was 82nd Airborne. That's when I stopped listening.

Some abuser shit right there. Reminding her just what she is.
No one deserves that, not even that vapid twit
Trash is as trash does.

Nope. Although I imagine the current not-war is probably screwing with things. But it could be anything. Toy release dates are always getting rescheduled.
Congratulations to the players of the WNBA on their historic labour agreement.
- Salary cap now starts at $7M (up from $1.5M)
- Supermax begins at $1.4M
- Avg. salary "in range of $600K," with minimum around $300K+
- Avg. revenue share of almost 20%
Do they get better equipment as well?
Aside from that: it's about fucking time
Just imagine what it means to them.
They're pleased about the historic, hard-fought deal and remind reporters that it's also significant for the future of women in sports beyond basketball.
That's a nice START.
For women in other sports, do you mean?

Allan, get your ass back here and help!
I knew Call the Midwife was planning a prequel series, but I didn't realize they were going back to before we left the water.
Nice time!

Into the pockets of the legislators, of course.

It's not even a mean joke or anything. By what standing can he even sue someone for suggesting that the translation of words is Look, there's a lion?"

Trump is cutting off all arms shipments to Ukraine from the US.
Because of his war.
Putin has accelerated his bombing campaign. Hes going for the War Criminal invitational award.
Now Trump says give up the Donbas and we will assure security for Ukraine.
Trump is a traitor.
Don’t believe him!
This is after they helped us in Iran too.
There's some gratitude for ya!
It's always the same faces at the War Criminal Invitational, maybe a few life sentences would change things up
The Hague is going to be busy.
Hopefully Jack Smith will accept the invitation.
"So, Mr Trump, we meet again"
Zelensky has been formally nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I predict that Trump will have a calm and measured response.
He's only going to throw one plate of food and a single ketchup bottle. Very measure, much calm.
Orderlies are ready, dartguns distributed...

There are 10,000 Marines and soldiers entering the theater. Hegseth said, “to provide additional military options.”
With just 10,000 the only military option is to take a small Iranian island and a large number of casualties.
But no boots on the ground, right Grindr Mike?
Last time I went to the theater I didn't see any Marines or soldiers.
Oh, wrong theater.
Betcha they get fox there to record them hoisting the flag

Nah, that's straight-up fearmongering. "We did this because he had to otherwise THIS!"

We knew the objective, not the plan. It was the chance sighting of a picket ship’s wake and a pilot’s hunch that “well, he’s gotta be going somewhere,” that turned the result.
Luck?
How many caskets does the military have in-theater?
Caskets? Not too many. ZipLoc bags? Enough.
Price of plastic makes body bags more expensive.
Yeah, we're making jokes, but that deranged fuckwit might try this shit and really get service members killed.

It's Gulf of Mexico when there's a problem, because Dear Leader never wants to solve problems.
