More of my in-silico experiments. This one tests ideas from my forthcoming book, A Structural Ontology of Law. davidkoepsell.com/SimLex.html

In his increasing impotence and incoherence he will nuke someone. He has no other cards and doesn't care if the world survives his will, only that it bend to it somehow.

Hey folks, if you use a ReMarkable Tablet and Calibre to manage your books, newspapers, and magazines, I made a Calibre plugin that lets you send any document to ReMarkable through its connect cloud account. It turns it into an Epub first as well. www.mobileread.com/forums/showt...

Tens of thousands of "uncommitted" protesters from 2024 election apparently disapprove of Iran war stating angrily "I didn't not vote for this!"

Totally redesigned website, y'all davidkoepsell.com

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Question for MAGA Iran bombing supporters: when Trump warned you VP Harris would start a war with Iran, were you like "hey, that's one policy of hers I would actually like!"?

If they can arrest a Prince then we can arrest a President.

Seeing a few lefty folks responding to the trump administration's lawlessness by denouncing the Rule of Law, as a concept. And, hmm. Idk about that.

So we are learning through the files that Qanon, Brexit, MAHA, alt-right groups, crypto-bros, and most of MAGA, are all literally groomed by Epstein. Remind all of them they are a sad bunch of beta cucks manipulated by a convicted pedophile sex trafficker.

Trump, Vance, and the Mainstreaming of Far-Right Hate The betrayal behind the rhetoric of safety

Donald Trump pardoned the “Camp Auschwitz” rioter.
He dined with a Holocaust‑denying white nationalist.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

So I saw a review of Starfleet Academy complaining that there hasn't been any optimistic Trek since Enterprise. And I contest that the post 9-11 Enterprise was optimistic, but...SA seems incredibly optimistic. They're rebuilding the Federation after the Burn (ugh)
