I was looking at the landing stain it left on the photo. Did y'all notice the pick-up 🛻 truck sort of mid bottom? That's a big ass landing stain!

Probably from the metric tons of fuel and oil that were sprayed during the crash. Gasoline and kerosene will stain asphalt and concrete like that.

Critical support to gravity.

Please no... the US regime will remove physics from our public school curriculum.

Damn, you're right. We need to approach this in the right way. Okay, uh, hey US regime, did you know how useful literacy can be for bombing things? Have you tried increasing that? The literacy, not the bombing. Jesus. Specifically literacy in marxism-leninism, because, you see, look at how effective the USSR was at building... weapons.

The idea of a Marxist scholastic book fair honestly doesn't sound like too bad of an idea now that I think of it. I wonder if any orga have tried implementing something like that.

I remember in my childhood I used to absolutely love those book fairs where we could pick out 3 books for free and others for a couple dollars. I wonder if this is still something they do, or if capitlist rot has made it less accessible.

Neat thought. I wonder.

On that note, I used to go to the library a lot more when I was younger. When I do it these days, it sorta feels like I'm stepping through a portal because so much of the US is so capitalist hell and then libraries are still like, go in and borrow a book. Return it when you're done. And that's about it. No capitalist bullshit, at least on the surface level, that I've seen. It feels like I'm stealing cause capitalism has so conditioned me to think of things as nothing but purchasing.

Yeah, Iran looks like it will be pretty secure for the foreseeable future.
