There has to be a word for when you annex a territory that belonged to Mexico and then you decide there need to be a lot fewer Mexicans in it

Surely it helps that he has fired most of the staff involved in foreign threat management, and tasked the rest with helping ICE shove toddlers into kidnap vans

There’s a practical side. The Hillary investigation had nothing in it, so nothing to stop a peacock like Comey from talking about it all day long. The Russia inquiries had so many legal & security angles, any disclosure would prejudice upcoming cases. Of course NYFO leaked, because they wanted that.

Next thing you’ll tell me there’s professed Christians who hoard wealth

We made it up

If by that you mean the reds weren’t some made up specter at that time and that helps explain-without-justifying some otherwise puzzling things about that era, then yeah.

Fish sauce? I got a mushroom powder umami thing from Trader Joe’s that I’m still not sure about, but I put fish sauce in most things. Does anchovy stock work better?

Pictured: Hobbes and Nietszsche attend some poor 2nd year’s departmental presentation on moral philosophy, and take turns asking increasingly pointed questions-that-are-also-comments without directly acknowledging each other

Brilliant, but kind of DC-centric. Marvel super-battles are like an argument at the bar after an especially eclectic philosophy conference

It would honor his legacy if the honorary talks celebrating his legacy included some epic tea spilling between competing labs

Maybe sports is kind of a worst case scenario? Fantasy especially depends on processing a whole league’s worth of late breaking information, when training sets often have a specific date they end at. And then technical data is like catnip for hallucinating.

My Marvelous Mrs Maisel marathon was interrupted when I had to pause it and explain to my family who Jane Jacobs is while jumping up and down

That is surprisingly apt in other parts of the former British empire as well

Needless to say people have a pretty good measure of maga by now, and Bidenism isn’t the kind of menace that you can hang a deranged reactionary movement on.

Thing that made Horst Wessel work wasn’t just the guy himself, it was how Germany just had an actual Communist revolution that almost succeeded. People felt (understandably) the country needed an aggressive counterbalance, and didn’t appreciate (yet) how bad the other guys really were.

If it helps, it’s not just war. They’re cartoonishly aggressive and over the top about surveillance, social control, singling out and ruining people executives don’t like. Honestly Skeletor would find the whole thing a little gauche.

A Doberman stands anxiously gazing into a yellow bucket where he can almost but not quite get to a ball that he just dropped into it

You will never believe what the dog who drops balls in places he can’t reach, so that he can stand around crying over it, just did.

One time I git asked to straighten out a screen project done entirely by hand, looking for a disease marker in cilia. Started writing quantification scripts and SOPs, *then* thought of z’ tests.

Effect size was

Baseline variability was

and that put the fork in that project.

It worked out just fine for Beria

Is that a helpful link for polytheistic readers who skipped all humanities electives in high school and College

Ah heck, I made the best photo I took of Max (of sainted memory) my profile pic. I’ll never look that good.

Mostly so an AI image generator can make nonconsensual nudes, if we’re talking % of core allocations

There’s one consistent theme in these criticisms and it should probably concern AIPAC

Jusaism is basically a never ending argument

Exactly one year ago today:

It should surprise no one at all who’d fall in love with a zero effort firehose of information that’s comforting, supportive, and totally unconcerned with factual truth. The Macedonians who invented fake news for click revenue gave up on the left bc no one shared it.

Well yes but Sun Tzu failed to anticipate a scenario where cathartic violence is the main goal and no one involved can even describe‘victory’ aside from more violence. I believe we’re more in the world of Thomas Hobbes, who did not expect people described to read or understand his own work.

I imagine Harvard will have to set up a whole new rule set to protect these hothouse flowers from critical thinking and scholarship by their students. I watched a visiting creationist get dismantled by a student who grew up in that community, she knew their whole blustery MO to a T. It was savage.
