Friends, please help - there was a

👉 'write an article in a panel/day' 👈

session or workshop at @isanet.bsky.social sometime in the last years - was anybody there and remembers this? I believe they produced an actual article - does anybody know which one?

Any help would be appreciated! 🫶

Fair enough. Liberalism is off screen worrying about international order. It's neorealism, constructivism, poststructuralism.

Neorealism, liberalism, constructivism.

This sounds very dumb (and it objectively is) but if you want to fully understand how this OSD specifically and Admin generally view themselves, you need to follow their presence on the everything app

if it's a TV presidency it's a poasting OSD

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 8d

heggseth's weird podcast rant (delivered to 800 generals and admirals for some reason) is just another sign of how this is a tv presidency. they don't really know how to do policy. their instinct is theater. encounter a problem? put on a spectacle

Trump: "I think we should maybe start thinking about battleships, by the way. We have a Secretary of Navy who came to me, 'cause I look at the Iowa out in California and I look at different ships, the old pictures. I used to watch Victory at Sea. I love Victory at Sea. And I look at those ships... "

It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot more—and a lot worse—going on here.

The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadership’s partisan alignment with the administration.

How? 1/

Let's compile a list of things we don't like that we think might summon the Antichrist.

I'll start:

Analytic philosophers - this is it, this is the moment that the grounding literature actually becomes relevant to something.
