    Move out of the US, buy a manual coupe of undetermined make, model, and year, establish a global food bank, fly big drones around and into specific places it’s hard for the average person to get to and record what I see there, read a shit ton of books, build a generation ship and head blindly to Alpha Centauri in the last twenty years of my life.

    The astronauts clearly despise him. This video is very hard to get through, but watching it live I couldn’t help but enjoy watching the crew pull Trump’s strings, sit there in silence for a minute straight hoping he’d get off the phone, and slowly shed the veil of pleasant countenance.

    Bonus eyebrow raises from Mission Control post-call.

    Surprisingly, it’s been 1.5 years since this was last asked.

    I pick Peregrine Falcon. They thrive all across the globe, they’re fast as fuck when they’re in a dive, they’re the cutest killers, but they’re not at the top of the pecking order, which means a lust for life.

    Type the day away

    Every letter gets you closer to the fateful moment

    That moment, rapturous and implacable, when the bag is packed, the desk is free of the day’s clutter, and the sallow essence of your begrudged confines are soon a thing of the past.

    You are free now. For now. What will you do?

    Will you type more?

    We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, ​attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto ​closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces.

    We express our ⁠deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately ​its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block ​the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817.

    Freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of international law, including under the United Nations Convention on the Law of ​the Sea.

    The effects of Iran’s actions will be felt by people in all ​parts of the world, especially the most vulnerable.

    Consistent with UNSC Resolution 2817, we emphasise that such ‌interference with ⁠international shipping and the disruption of global energy supply chains constitute a threat to international peace and security. In this regard, we call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations.

    We express our readiness to ​contribute to appropriate ​efforts to ensure safe ⁠passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning.

    We welcome the International Energy Agency ​decision to authorise a coordinated release of strategic petroleum reserves. ​We will ⁠take other steps to stabilise energy markets, including working with certain producing nations to increase output.

    We will also work to provide support for the most affected nations, including through ⁠the United ​Nations and the IFIs (International Financial Institutions).

    Maritime security and ​freedom of navigation benefit all countries. We call on all states to respect international law and uphold the ​fundamental principles of international prosperity and security.
