It is with a heavy heart that I share this sad news. Yesterday at 6:47PM our friend the Phantom Train passed away from complications due to heart attack. He is survived by his daughter, the Union Pacific SD40N. He is not survived by his passengers, who were already dead. Press XY down up to Pay Respects In Memoriam I994-2025

A famous screenshot from Final Fantasy 7. One of the characters shouts: "Attack while it’s tail's up!” Sadly, a rushed Japanese-to-English translation seemed to imply the opposite of what would have been the safe move here. Still a very impressive translation, though, given the time constraints the translator had!

Twinsen poisons the water supply… uh… with cough syrup, though, so not actually poison. To be fair, this was very irresponsible and could have ended very badly. Fortunate, it instead just made the water taste better, and no one complained or died.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.l. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.

fossilera.com It's this combination of beauty and strangeness that makes crinoids so captivating. Their five-fold symmetry, segmented skeletons, and grasping arms look almost engineered, as if designed by an artist rather than shaped by evolution. When James Cameron and his team were developing the biomechanical horror of the Aliens franchise, crinoids-along with other echinoderms-served as inspiration for creatures that felt organic, ancient, and unsettling. Few people realize that some of the most iconic movie monsters owe their look to animals that once thrived hundreds of millions of years ago on Earth. Crinoids also boast some truly astonishing records. The longest known crinoid stem ever discovered measured nearly 130 feet long, tar larger than any species alive today. While modern oceans still host around 700 living species, ancient seas once supported thousands, forming dense underwater forests that provided shelter and food for countless other organisms. Most crinoid fossils are found as individual columnals - disc-shaped segments from the stalk that separated after death and scattered across the seafloor. Complete fossils, with arms and crowns intact, are rare and prized, often preserved only when rapid burial protected them from decay and scavengers. These exceptional specimens give us a glimpse of what ancient oceans truly looked like. From medieval legends that mistook crinoid fossils for holy beads, to Hollywood science fiction that borrowed their unsettling beauty, crinoids bridge the gap between deep time and modern imagination. Every crinoid fossil is more than a piece of stone-it's a fragment of an ancient world that was as strange, dramatic, and awe-inspiring as anything ever dreamed up on screen.
YOU ARE MOST LIKE C.S. Lewis ANGLICAN / MERE CHRISTIANITY 1898 - 1963 AD You share the imaginative faith of C.S. Lewis — the Oxford don whose journey from atheism to Christianity produced some of the most beloved apologetics of the twentieth century. Like Lewis, you believe reason and imagination are both paths to truth, that Joy is a clue pointing beyond itself to God, and that the Christian story is not just true but the most beautiful and coherent story on offer. You love ideas, you love stories, and you believe that helping someone see things clearly can be a deeply spiritual act. APOLOGETICS MERE CHRISTIANITY

February 14, 2026 9:31 am LAURA GREENHALGH A huge sigh of relief Share this post X Rubio has now concluded his speech which was peppered with mentions of partnership and a revitalized friendship. "We do not seek to separate but to revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history," he told the audience. After outlining Washington's perspectives on where the West should go, Rubio's final comments summed up the approach: "We want to do it together with you, with a Europe that is proud of its heritage and of its history ... with a Europe that has the means to defend itself and the will to survive," he said. "The future is inevitable, and our destiny together awaits," he added.

A chart from Pew Research that shows Clinton’s relatively high ratings even through his scandal with Monica Lewinsky.
Spider man pointing meme representing the redundant and conflicting roles of DHS and NORTHCOM, hinting that DHS… and I hate to say this… might be entirely redundant. We already have a Spider Man.
Michael Weiss @michaeldweiss U.S. military source just told me the same: this was DHS: "Every General and Admiral at NORTHCOM is pissed that DHS did an operation and told no one because homeland defense is what NORTHCOM does. Even the base commander at Ft. Bliss called the Pentagon and NORTHCOM furious about the airspace thing because he had nothing to do with it -- and the Pentagon and NORTHCOM also didn't know anything about the airspace closure. It's like DHS is trying to hide the fact that their spec ops group is there with the laser gun."
A recent poll from Pew Research shows that white evangelical have dropped 15% in their confidence of Trump’s ethics since the beginning of last year. While that number is still surprisingly high at 40%, this is also a pretty big drop compared to other groups.
The Wikipedia article on “Racial view of Donald Trump” begins with an editorial note that states, “This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably.”
