    Falling for CIA propaganda in 2026 is a skill issue 😬

  • I just love the implied racism here where America is capable of running intelligence disinformation campaigns while dirty Iranians could never be so clever. That's why every statistic that comes out of western media sources can't be trusted, but everything else can.

    Beyond that obvious confirmation bias, there is almost no difference in how populations react to news of a few thousand deaths and thirty thousand deaths. Humans just don't process big numbers that well on an emotional level. Intelligence organizations know that. Thirty deaths can easily have more of an impact because we can imagine it being 30 people we know.

  • We have more power than we realize

  • Most of the time, ICE does comply with court orders. There is a definite survivorship bias at play where stories of compliance don't make the media, but stories of non-compliance do. The courts have been, and continue to be, a major thorn in the Trump administration's side.

  • US says wouldn't be 'happy' if Russia giving Iran intel

    Jump

  • It's not like the US isn't sharing targeting Intel with Ukraine.

  • Russia's deportation of Ukrainian children amounts to crime against humanity, UN says

    Jump

  • Que tankies denials.

    Have you actually met these kids? How do you know they weren't taken from Russia first? You know that's all just western propaganda. /s

  • Could the Iran war energy shock accelerate the transition to renewables?

  • Trump might ironically do more to reduce fossil fuel reliance than Biden.

  • Epstein Files Interest Drops 95% as US-Israel Strikes on Iran Dominate Headlines

    Jump

  • Cutting USAID funding is projected to kill over 10 million people, most of them kids. Compared to that, an elementary school is almost insignificant.

    The story of the Epstein files is the story of how we got where we are. No matter where it falls on the death and destruction scale, it is critical to understanding that pedophile sociopaths rule the world.

  • Epstein Files Interest Drops 95% as US-Israel Strikes on Iran Dominate Headlines

    Jump

  • They are measuring "interest" based on Google searches. Epstein is an old and very slowly evolving story, while Iran is new and rapidly evolving. It makes perfect sense that Iran would get more searches.

  • Trump Wants to ‘Take Over’ Elections. These States are Prime Targets

  • Democratic insiders are also now saying that it's not worth spending money to try to win a Senate seat in Texas. They are so butthurt that Talarico beat Crockett that they are giving up a serious chance at taking the Senate away from the Republicans. Fucking pathological.

  • "Moderate"

  • Gregory Bovino is now under criminal investigation

    Jump

  • He might be a scapegoat, but he's also a piece of shit in his own right.

  • A mad king’s illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump’s unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

    Jump

  • Not really though. Congress was perfectly capable of blocking the attack, and both parties chose not to.

  • Trump is President because of "vibes". Vibes matter because they influence behavior. Just look at the stock market. There will be more compressors working harder because of the vibes put out by those lights. Guaranteed.

  • What are some examples where the more you know about the world, the better it seems?

    Jump

  • I do know our history, and in October 1962 the odds of nuclear war were less than the odds of a climate apocalypse today, because they weren't 100%.

    As bad as trump is, has he murdered 13 million innocent people yet?

    Yet? No. But he is on course. The estimated number of deaths from his illegal USAID cuts is actually 14 million by 2030. That's one policy. I expect that number will be dwarfed by the long term impacts of his environmental policy. Then we have the pending excitement in Iran to worry about. A nation of 93 million people can throw at least a few million more lives on the pyre before all is done.

  • So is my air conditioner. It's not like me turning the dial up a few degrees is going to keep the world spinning properly. /s

    It's not just Times Square just like it's not just my AC. Times Square is a visual representation of how seriously the city and it's residents take the issue. If those lights are blaring, then I assume a whole lot of other corporate power consumption is likewise excepted.

  • Nuclear was was always an apocalypse that might happen. Climate change is an apocalypse that is happening.

    Hitler was bad, but he didn't have anything like the arsenal and intelligence networks available to Trump. We have the consentration camps, and the death camps too, although those are outsourced in other countries.

  • Know the real culprits

    Jump

  • The lights in Time Square represent base load, as they are always on.

    I don't see how that means turning them off at peak load wouldn't lower peak load. It would also send a message that society is taking the issue seriously.

  • He's so close to getting it...

    Jump

  • But I didn't say anything about picking a person up except to explicitly exclude it from what I was talking about. The comment I responded to was specifically about starting a conversation.

  • He's so close to getting it...

    Jump

  • walk up to random people on the street who aren't wearing headphones to try start conversations?

    It's strange to me that this would be considered out of bounds. "Pickup artists" aside, this really ought to be more normal.

  • Under British and UK Legislation anyone using or developing end-to-end encryption is now a “hostile actor”

    Jump

  • It's not really wrong though. This kind of legislation certainly makes me hostile.
