The 14 December outrage is being framed in two ways:
. a mass shooting, with high powered rifles (at a Hanukkah celebration
. an antisemitic terror attack (with rifles).
Neither is the whole truth but one may be more true than the other.

remember that Asimov Metavac story where there's only one 'voter' who the computer questions for a few hours, and then the rest of the election is auto-generated?
Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)?
Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

If only Trump had been allowed to succeed in politics, the world might have been spared the horrors of his architectural designs.
Trump: "I saved the Kennedy Center building. Over the outside you see the columns, they had a fake gold, now it's a gleaming white. The one thing about gold, you can never imitate real gold, they've tried to do it for years. Gold paint, it never works."

Nah dude. This is a failure of imagination about how bad a CPC government would be. Carney is far to the right of where I am but I'm sure I share an agreed set of facts with the LPC if not an agreed opinion. The CPC are living in an entirely different reality now.
