Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
They will probably rescue me and the second I am free, get killed by something else.

Wider political consequences aside, I think it's really good that SDF fighters saw a regime fighter wearing an ISIS patch and immediately went "let's kill that guy".

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

The only thing that should be said to people supporting Trump's attacks on people pointing out that the military is obligated to refuse to follow illegal orders is....
"Are you saying the military should follow illegal orders?"
Until they get an answer.

We Need to Talk About Pedocon Theory
The connection between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is no accident, but reveals a deep logic at the heart of reactionary politics.

It’s as if what political scientists researching democratic parties trying to copy and adapt right-wing policies have said for years is true - it doesn’t work.
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

All eugenicists ultimately believe that by an amazing coincidence their own genes are incredibly precious and must be preserved and amplified by any means necessary, traditional mores about consent, etc. be damned.
I think you could be forgiven for naively thinking that eugenics beliefs and being a paedophile are unrelated so be surprised that one chap had both vices. But I do think there is some inner link due to a shared preference for natural hierarchy. "It should be enforced, and when enforced exploited."

If he is not held accountable for breaking the law, then the law means nothing. BUST HIS ASS.
