The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran

Like, even Marine Le Pen condemned the kidnapping of Maduro. What the fuck is Merz thinking? He’s brain-dead
Multilateralismus: tot.
Völkerrecht? Kulisse.

It’s like the administration’s coal policy: Hey, let’s try to revive an industry that’s dying and has been slowly dying for decades!
It's ideological maneuvering unmoored from the material base it purportedly legitimates.
Trump is trying to strongarm the oil industry into supporting his war and they're like this deal sucks
it's exactly the other way around from the "war for oil" theory lol

😒 this article is trying to frame the dislike for AI as irrational rather than telling the truth that people hate AI because its obvious that companies would rather burn trillions of dollars on a solution looking for a problem than pay people better wages all while selling bullshit.

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own
America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities.
The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.

Cop shows are complete fantasy, if only because they portray cops as careful, competent investigators who care. Aside from DNA fingerprinting, all other forensic “evidence” is garbage
Every cop show that depends on forensics should be classified as science fiction.

Let’s swap out the fragile, slowly maturing frontal cortexes of society’s teens and replace them with a soulless, sycophantic pattern recognizing machine designed by hubristic, Ayn Rand obsessed simpletons with no historical sensibility, & whose main motivation is profit maximization. This is fine.

Under Trump 2024, the pain of fascism is shared by more groups of people. More people are in the undesirables group, and more are exposed to state violence.
Under Biden, it was more heavily concentrated just on Black people.
"Trump is worse!" does not mean "Biden was awesome!"

There has long been enough evidence to indict and the slow release is intended to 1) further torment Epstein victims 2) get Americans used to child rape by elites 3) flaunt impunity, since there have been no meaningful consequences for perpetrators 4) arrive right when AI casts everything in doubt.

The economy is a paranormal entity that our greatest dimensional scholars (macroeconomists) understand only superficially. They have induced a variety of changes in it by manipulating arcane forces like "money supply" with some success. But it remains protean and unpredictable.

Hey, fellow evolutionary biologists:
If you support trans rights, like, comment, or repost this. I want to show that transphobes like Richard Dawkins are a loud minority that does not represent our community

And that’s a follow.
Actually I do have a question if you have a sec.
Without exception the most transphobic group of scientists I’ve run into online are evolutionary biologists. Every single one of them has expressed the same opinion: transness cannot be anything other than social contagion. Why?
