many civilians do live on the fringe of the knife culture; they are influenced by movies that glorify the blade

it's funny when watching US movies or tv shows i used to be like "man, they sure do use food poisoning as a plot device *a lot* in america..."

then i learned their food poisoning statistics and it blew my mind. that's just how they live!

people DIE of food poisoning regularly in the US.

it's MAD.

i feel like i see a lot of "mysterious new account makes big bet on insider information" news stories and not enough people-being-arrested-for-that news stories
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Barbara Buchenau im DLF: venezuela hat parlament entmachtet, oppositionelle verfolgt. Beunruhigend sei, Trump habe nicht den "politischen weg" über das Parlament genommen.
Es fällt nicht mal auf.

It is worse than that: many Americans do not believe they should suffer for politics to occur. So when the shutdowns started causing pain, this pain was sufficient excuse to abandon politics. We are fighting against fascists who weaponize pain as a party that will avoid pain at all costs.
The Democrats helped shut down the government and showed you can exercise some real power in the minority. Then they gave it away for nothing rather than extracting concessions.

Americans who demand nothing of their elected leaders are some of the most pathetic people in the country.

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

Deutsche/europäische Politiker, die jetzt gleich die amerikanische Entführung eines Staatschefs gutheißen, weil er "illegitim" war - darf man also vermuten, dass China bis mindestens 1987 das Recht gehabt hätte, Taiwan einzunehmen?

Apropos of nothing
wenn "impunity" und "cruelty" die wesentlichen Politikaspekte dieser destruktiven Zeit sind, dann ist es weder verwunderlich noch zum Vorwurf zu machen, dass I/P zur dominanten Projektionsfläche für alle möglichen Konflikte und Auseinandersetzungen geworden ist.

With @adamtooze.bsky.social firing a fusillade at false fossil fuel solutions seeking harbor in stale 20-year old "all of the above" et al. rhetoric, it should be no surprise that the centrist fossil fuel dead end bros have come out in force to defend their dead end logic.

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.
