I appreciate this but I have to own a mistake: When I wrote the *first* edition of DOE, I really believed that the anti-vax movement had reached its high-water mark. I would not have believed, when I wrote that first one in 2016, that RFK would be in the Cabinet. I did not know how bad it would get.
It's this. This is the one little fact that is just so damning of the entire political press, very much including Caputo.
Let's do it again. Reach as many people as possible to get informed about Ukraine. Repost the original post below.
Thank you!
Also consider the misuse of such powers as the US government has by the Trump administration. They sanction private capital that they just don't like, while funnelling money to their backers.
So, what do you do when someone does a Bill Gates and manages to keep ownership of a company that grows so large that they become billionaires? I agree that having billionaires is bad for society, but it seems odd to confiscate property because someone grew it too successfully.
We did the same, but in Den Haag
Also, this story is a month old, but it's only getting pushed now. Weird.

No wonder they get on so well with Trump's people.

Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."
THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.
“If I enter an order and you violate it, that’s contempt” is both
(a) a perfectly sensible thing for a judge to say to DOJ today,
and
(b) something hard to imagine any federal judge needing to say to DOJ under any prior administration.

The decline of evidence-based reasoning represents an existential threat to collective problem-solving capability.
This erosion is not random but systematic, driven by:

Whoever made the change was by definition logged in as someone who could make the change.
This is so obvious that it is truly enraging that it needs to repeated again and again.
You cultist version of “in reality the point of it all was…..” was not on the ballot paper. Hence, it is impossible to “betray” it.
Reeves noticeably more enthusiastic on repairing the EU relationship than other ministers. The reason why is obvious. She's the chancellor. She's the one who actually has to deliver on growth
Current Daily Express poll.
How likely is it that anyone who still supports Brexit and reads the Express will vote Labour?
I'd say it's more likely that they'll spontaneously sprout wings and fly.
And yet that's the same group Labour are trying to win over by stomping hard on migrants.

Brexit was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union.
The UK has left the European Union. Referendum fulfilled.
If the people bleating about "Brexit Betrayal" wanted the Referendum to enshrine their pet policy preferences, they should have included them in the question.

I kinda like that we've made a machine that doesn't quite reason logically but does do a good job of imitating stuff it's read before and that turns out to be genuinely indistinguishable from an average undergrad essay. Like... yeah, no, fair.
Science nerds played defense for Elon far too long because “Humanity *needs* to colonize space to survive,” and now he killed American science. Like yeah man, I think civilization surviving to 2030 is a prerequisite to escaping Earth before the sun goes out. Enjoy your rockets.
Interesting thread. It made me think about how one longstanding problem for the Democratic Party since the 1980s has been its passive reliance on “the moral arc of the universe” to take us into a more just future…as if history was just naturally on “our side.” But moral arcs don’t bend themselves.

I know that a lot of people here don't like "horseshoe theory," but does seem to reinforce that kooks on the left can readily become kooks on the right, and vice-versa. Kookiness does seem to trump whatever ideology they are being kooky about.
