"if you ship this thing it's because you're too naïve to understand that it's toxic and that you wouldn't like a relationship like this" actually it's because I see one of them as a mentos drop and the other as a bottle of coke zero and I want to watch the mess they'll be together

#there are two actual people i ship rn #they don't know about it

"Will you be my wingman?"

"Always."

how fucking arrogant can you be to think any eugenics program could ever weed out “fascist genetics”. even if the “dark triad” was a reliable precursor to fascist ideology and even if “dark triad traits” could be reliably linked to genotype (they aren’t and they can’t be), how fucking far to jupiter are you if you think you can remove it from a population of seven billion, let alone in some “anarchist” manner? how do you programmatically sterilize anyone in an “anarchist” manner?

who needs a social life when you have followers who don’t talk to you and you run a blog no one cares about

It's my blog and if I want to ship a middle aged Gripen fighter pilot with his young mechanic I do it as much as I please, thank you!

#don't have the bandwidth to explain to upset americans #the difference in swedish laws and american military laws #or in how the armed forces are organized #and dear lord all the cultural differences #just me rambling

I can't see their individual numbers but since they're flying over open water they're probably from the F17 Kallinge Wing, or maybe the F21 Luleå Wing. Both of them are near the coast. If they had been from the F7 Såtenäs Wing, F16 Uppsala Wing or SAAB in Linköping they would probably have been flying over land instead.

Little did your superiors know that it wasn't just because the boy was good with airplanes that you talked them into hiring him as a mechanic after his mandatory military service was over. Your Gripen isn't the only thing he'll get to work on at your squadron.

#this might be the dirtiest one yet #i don't encourage sexual relations between squadron leaders and mechanics half their age #lord forgive me #jas39 gripen

Oh so we've entered the "circulating AI-generated spaceflight images" era of Tumblr. Okay.

I'm not giving the original post any more notes but. The patches? The crooked racks of...whatever that equipment is supposed to be? Space hardware with cable management this bad - and while some of those cables connect, they don't connect in natural ways?

Also the thing that made me catch it - the skin and jumpsuit are way too smooth. That's not a tell of AI image generation alone--sometimes images upscaled with AI have that effect as well--but combined with everything else it's...

The blog circulating these images has a mix of images tagged with "Stable Diffusion", and then others like this that are tagged like they're actual historical images. If you guys care about circulating photos of historical hardware like this, be careful.

Just remembering the time I embarrassed myself in front of (☝️🤓 Ackshually 1000+ miles from Zeb Scoville.) I admit it was really late and I was lucid.

I put my head on my desk and just screamed “goddamn it!”

[arionvulgaris]

Who knew air-to-air combat practice could make you this horny?

#to me these guys are swedish veteran fighter pilots #obsessed with those rn #top gun did this to me

Let's irresponsibly breed a dog together!

Share as much as possible that dog gotta be atrocious by the end of the week

In Swedish the verb "(att) spinna" means the same!

He sits on my lap while I spin, he does the little jiggle
