Actual question for theoryheads. Who said (paraphrase) that in physical warfare you attack your opponent's weakest spots and in ideological warfare the opposite?
I thought it might be Gramsci but I can't find any record of him saying anything in that area.

Trump: It’s a hoax. We should move on.
Trump’s DOJ: There’s nothing to investigate.
The UN: The revelations suggest a global criminal enterprise…a number of the abuses meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity.

Oh, man. Tom Noonan died? His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter is one of the most terrifying, mesmerizing I've ever seen in a film.

Looking at the tide mark of mud and sewage halfway up the walls: "Well, at least it's not red tape!"
One in nine new homes in England built in areas of flood risk.
People live in constant fear, difficulty in getting affordable insurance and selling the property.
Planning laws being weakened, developers not held to account. Must invest in flood defences.

It is, in this perfectly transparent way, capitalism’s final form.
At the same time, we are being shown a cascade of hard evidence that the owner class is riddled with pedophiles, actively building global fascism and driving climate destruction.
We know what we have to do when it breaks. Be ready.

The legitimately innovative thing about AI is that it is a completely bottomless pit. It's swallowed up:
- all energy sources
- all our data
- all investment dollars
- all new jobs
- all capex
- all attention
- and now, all hardware components
with absolutely no end in sight. Nothing will satisfy.

the AI junk that nobody - including the people making it - have enough real uses or profitable demand for is screwing up all the things that have real uses and decades of profitable demand

Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.
WD and Seagate confirm: Hard drives for 2026 sold out

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

Goodnight from the Nun’s Walk Shopping Centre, where security guard Len Wall is wondering how such a new building can be so effing haunted. Goodnight from Toby Wrack, walking the long mile of Brighthaven Pier to make embassy with the King-Under-the-Sea. Goodnight from Hookland.
