Our problem in the Cold War was trying to preserve capitalism, even if it meant supporting dictatorships, rather than trying to preserve democracy, even if it meant supporting socialism.

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 1d

we have to be willing to just fuck with foreign governments in order to promote pro-democracy forces and harm pro-authoritarian forces in those countries

*that's* our actual interest, not whatever faff natsec heads preach about "the rules based order"

Paklausoties dažu uzņēmēju prātulas, liekas, ka viņu ideja par birokrātijas mazināšanu ir vnk deregulācija nozarē un tirgū, kur pats nejauši strādā. Vēl atceros, kā par woke Eiropas pudeļu korķiem raudāja kā lielo birokrātijas piemēru. Nenopietni cilvēki.

Birokrātija daudz ko automatizē un, ja tādas nebūtu, mēs to izgudrotu no jauna un atzītu par labu esam.
Ja runā par to jēdzienu ikdienišķā lietojuma nozīmē - tad, protams, besī, ka viena institūcija sūta pie otras, un tā - atpakaļ ("the rule of no one"), vai kad uz mūžu invalīdam statuss jāatjauno.

Valsts pārvalde izsmēlusi idejas, kā mazināt birokrātiju, tāpēc izskanējis priekšlikums šim darbam piesaistīt neatkarīgu vadītāju ar komandu. Viens no kandidātiem minēts uzņēmēju pārstāvis Jānis Endziņš, kurš šādu piedāvājumu apsvērtu, ja tāds tiešām būtu.

"Abolish ICE" at this point doesn't even feel enough.

Eric Umansky @ericumansky.bsky.social · 1d

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) being pro-Ukraine & donating to them, and Ser Davos (Liam Cunningham) being gravely concerned every time Russia gets slapped, is kinda funny.

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

He lost his connection after this, and had to quit. Very unfortunate. Hate when this happens.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Lot of people confidently missing the point in the replies to this: if every cent of Elon musks net wealth was liquid, which it isn’t, that’s not even enough money to run the govt for two weeks. The problem less that they have money, and more how they use that money in destabilizing ways.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money
