Laws are imaginary.
Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

There is no such thing in nature as a 100% efficient process.

That includes whatever you're beating yourself up over today.

God, realizing "Thou shalt not kill" has never worked, takes responsibility for setting a bad example and withdraws all endorsement of murder.

A 9-minute operatic monologue about God and religious violence, with funny parts.

Me too.

Remember in 2016 when we said "embolden," and no one knew what we meant?

tl;dr: Fight, motherfuckers!
If you wanna be nihilistic and say nothing really matters and nothing's gonna change and there's no point in fighting back, that's your choice.

But don't expect the rest of us to humor it. Don't expect others to make space for chronic negativity. Nihilism is useless and irritating and repulsive.

I see people saying things like "There's no such thing as absolute immunity."

Of course there is.

There's no such thing as absolute immunity *under US law*.

But US law is not what's governing us now.

Try to catch up.

All Jews grow up learning about the Holocaust. Stephen Miller took it as an instruction manual and jerked off to it.

MAGA Jews are three kinds of traitor:

• Traitor to your religion
• Traitor to your country
• Traitor to humanity

ICE is Gestapo.

Not by namecalling.

By definition.

Sympathy for a deeply autistic parent who never managed (or even saw the need) to break out of her own perseverative bullshit can be tough.

He's leaving out the fact that we've been overthrown, but otherwise not exactly wrong.

The only way he's not an asset of Putin's is if Putin's a complete idiot.

Nothing like being in limbo while you find out if the state will allow your mom to kill herself to get an instinctive musician to really dive into synthesizer manuals.

There’s a reason you usually see 4’33 done with a piano. It doesn’t work on guitar. After 10 seconds the performer would start trying to check that their strings are still in tune before moving on to absentmindedly playing Wonderwall.
