*Stares in Section 4 of the 14th Amendment*

Section 4

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Congratulations to Donald Trump, the new Dey of Algiers. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_B...)

CNN Headline: "Trump says the US will impose a 20% fee on cargo moving through the strait"

Gru's Plan Meme with 3 phases:
1. Demand free movement of international trade through Strait of Hormuz.
2. Bomb Iran for demanding payment of tribute for safe passage through Strait.
3. Demand payment of tribute of 20% of cargo to US for protection.
In the forth panel, Gru seems to recognize the contradiction.

Can someone please explain to me the pricing logic of airlines? How is it that if I take United 926 to Frankfurt I pay $1,746 but if I take the exact same flight and then also take another flight to another destination it costs only $945 -- almost half the price?!

The same United flight to Frankfurt followed by a connecting hour long flight to Brussels costs $945.

#WeKilledHitler. Again. Medium difficulty this time. Ambushed Hitler in Poland after a conspiracy to poison him failed.

Dice showing the 4 bullseyes necessary to kill Hitler.

Kronk from Emperor's Groove discusses the poison chosen specifically to kill Hitler.

#WeKilledHitler Ok, it was on the lowest level of difficulty, but on our first game! @pdubarry.bsky.social

This image is a popular internet meme template that features three cartoon golden dragon heads against a cloudy blue-grey sky.
The two heads on the left are fierce and menacing with red, narrowed eyes, multiple horns, and spiky scales. The head on the far left has white text superimposed over it that reads "1876 PHILADELPHIA CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION." The head in the center has text over it that reads "1892 CHICAGO COLUMBIAN EXHIBITION."
The head on the right is drawn in a starkly different, simplified, and "derpy" style, with smooth, curly horns, huge googly eyes looking in different directions, and its tongue sticking out in a silly grimace. It has white text over it that reads "2026 GREAT AMERICAN STATE FAIR."
