  • Sounds like you need to have a conversation with your kittens about their recent foreign policy decisions.

  • I feel like there was an attempt at a narrative what with the bin Laden thing and the uranium thing and the "we don't want to have a smoking gun be a mushroom cloud" allusion to a hypothetical Iraqi first strike. Was it all disprovable lies? Sure, but it wasn't this atemporal "we gotta attack them to prevent the counterattack that would result from our attacking them to prevent the counterattack" ourobouros propaganda.

  • Can I do a called it or was I not sufficiently prescient here?

  • Can't build something better until the parasites finally bite it, but that's going to be messy.

  • "We knew they were going to counterattack us." So you're agree that there was no threat unless you landed the first punch, right?

    Having grown up during the Iraq war, which featured some pretty dumb propaganda, I am going nuts seeing how much lower the floor has gotten.

  • I'm not totally clear on what constitutes legal and what constitutes illegal during a conflict, but "sinking the vessel of a country yours just attacked unprovoked and which was at its position under an assumed banner of peace and then not granting quarter to the survivors of the attack, who, it needs to be stressed, were totally unarmed at the time of that attack" should definitely be a war crime if it isn't one currently. Hope everyone on that submarine lands in front of a tribunal.

  • I'm behind the one guy who must think To the Lighthouse was about a young man's coming of age during the twilight of the Qajar dynasty.

    If the messaging still mattered, they'd be so screwed

  • My meteor got impounded because it didn't have a muffler >:(

  • Doing so would be making light of them experiencing the consequences of their own aggression!

  • Where a childhood full of leaded breakfast cereal eventually lands you.

  • God what a depressing margin.

  • Nope, it has to be one of the two main parties, third party candidates are nonviable from the get-go.

    Oh, and it can't be anyone from one of the two main parties who's to the left of the consensus candidate, because they're unelectable.

    So why haven't you come up with an alternative to Newsom yet? Everyone's waiting!

  • Props to Brian McGinnis for landing on the right side of the issue, but it does kinda suck that the only way to be perceived as credibly anti-war in this country and not just a naive hippie is to first serve in the military.

  • Good thing Congress acted swiftly to prevent the executive branch from unilaterally starting a war.

  • Olivier De Schutter was a UN Special Rapporteur on poverty and wrote a takedown of the belief that global economic growth will eventually eliminate poverty, a position promoted by the World Bank, among others.

    There are plenty of people out there with good ideas, they just seem to never break into the political mainstream

  • Gippity-piloted targeting systems hate this one weird trick!

  • "You hate me for my freedoms!
    "Woah, where the hell did you come from?!"

  • Harvard faculty meetings must be getting pretty uncomfortable at this point.
