Wanderer looking for something new and a new community to explore. Know some OD business stuff, group facilitation, interpersonal skills development. Like figuring out puzzles (literal and figurative).
Post about a game you've played but nobody else remembers.

I was corrupted in the 70s arcades by Death Race where stuck figures turned into tombstones when you ran over them.

So ICE and the White House have been scrambling to pump out meme videos of clashes with protesters and "epic takedowns" and then an ICE agent recording video with his phone shoots a woman dead www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...
We read thousands of internal ICE chats. They show how officials make raids go viral

I think what people who decide to oppose an available option b/c they decided ahead of time that it would fail actually want is to give themselves some sense they can control outcomes.

Knowing something will fail and not even trying is failed. But at least it is an outcome, and you controlled it.

I go back to game theory and the Prisoner's Dilemma across multiple rounds. You can't have one side always choosing "cooperate" while the other side always chooses "snitch" and expect things to work.

Optimal approach is always "cooperate first; on subsequent rounds, do what the other guy did"

Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Epstein redactions aren't believable, and they are valuable to fascists specifically because they aren't believable.

Fascists prefer lies to truth. Believing in a lie is preferable to believing a truth, if what you want is to dominate.

Believing lies dominates truth. So they believe lies.

This thread captures an aspect of MAGA I hadn't put words to. The lack of any self-created culture and identity. I would add culture or identity "beyond Trump". And Trump is not creative or even interesting, so there is no there there.
There's a line that the GOP is a death cult that isn't really accurate. There are real death cults out there and they look and act nothing like this.

This is, instead, a symptom of a total lack of culture and identity. It is the inability to perceive and act upon the full spectrum of human emotion.
TPUSA recreated the booth where Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, and attendees lined up to take selfies in it. So weird.

Donald Trump is trying to shut down the CFPB, an agency that has returned $21 billion to Americans who were cheated by big banks and giant corporations.

I joined my fellow @banking.senate.gov to break down what it means for you.

Trump is siding with the scammers. We’re fighting back.

Donald Trump just ended a rule that required airlines to compensate you for delayed or canceled flights.

Why?

Maybe because the airlines donated big bucks to Trump. Or maybe because the Secretary of Transportation used to be an airline lobbyist.

Either way, you lose.

the president is not an elected sovereign. he does not speak for the people or embody their will, he merely represents them. if he wants to change the constitution, let him make his case.

My colleague, the brilliant @colincarlson.bsky.social posted this on LinkedIn. This is devastating for Colin and his group, but also for science, for the future of the human race. #NSF is starving scientists of resources. This will not get better until we all rise up.

Someone asked me yesterday if I’m concerned about AI taking my job.

I’m decidedly more concerned that I live in a society that is okay with an economic system bent on driving as many people as possible out of a job and that insists we tie healthcare to employment.
