So the Washington Post did a really good deep dive on Flynn going from respected officer to nutter and convicted felon.

Adm. Mullen shows up as someone going on the record essentially saying "Dude, what the gently caress happened to you?"

Spoiler: It's rapey if you want to view it that way, but in the context of 1944, it's not.

Also beaten by a meme.

Our music kinda does this anyways. We tend to gloss over lyricsif we can sing or dance to it. Most AC40/Top 100 music follows the objectification of sex and excess. Pitbull, Aguilera, Katy Perry, etc.

Its dumb and making us worse.

Eartha Kit is awesome but Santa Baby is the worst of the old Christmas standards. Obviously there's worse out there if you widen the net to include celebrity Christmas albums.

Christmas pop music is universally garbage. There is literally no reason to listen to a single Christmas song unless a) you have religious reasons or b) you really dig choral music.

This. You can listen to any song you want, any time. There is no reason to have Mariah Carey or John Lennon on as often as we do around Christmas because "traditions". Don't make the poor retail workers live's suck any more than they already did.

Handsome Ralph posted:

The guy's tweet is kind of overhyping it. Ballard wanted to go look for the Titanic. He approached the Navy for technical assistance and IIRC, one of their submersibles. They said sure, but you need to also go to the Thresher and Scorpion wrecks (they already knew where both were), and see if it's possible to bring them back up to the surface. They figured because he was acting as a civilian and not a member of the navy, the Russians wouldn't bother surveilling him or whatever.

So it's not AS cool as say the Glomar expedition, but still cool.


Also I got to see Ballard speak a couple of times since he was a professor emeritus at my school and occassionally showed up to give lectures. The one on the Bismarck was some incredibly cool poo poo. Sobering too.

Apparently his Twitter got flooded by people telling him that Ballard has been talking about this publicly for years now.

I was never into the Titanic or super into the coolness aspect of finding it until I was older, and then all my reading on the subject got pushed to the back burner as I read whatever hot new book I was more excited about. So I wasn't surprised that I learned that. (Though I jave the feeling I knew that at some point but forgot.)
