Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0 Ottawa Missile Crisis 1.0.

(This is a bit. Don’t @ me.)

Also, LOL: I just noticed that Google Maps lists Washington DC as just “Washington” now, with no “DC” in evidence. Weird. Pot shot at the “blue” state?

One of the few good memes South Park actually did was the Canadians-closing-their-southern-border bit.

Agreed. But not so sure on the:

Anyone playing into the “spike in antisemitism” smear is covering for Zionist genocide, intentionally or unintentionally

…part that you added. There has been an increase in antisemitism. Partly because Israel and Jews have simply been being talked about more, and antisemites do predictably be reactin’ as a result, and partly because zionism has been being pushed HARD in tandem with the genocide, and the zionism caries with it a pretty big component of antisemitism. There is a spike in the authentic stuff. It just looks nothing like the zionist narrative is trying to make it look like. So I think it’s good to be a little cautious about making this kind of generalized statement (I guess the “smear” part might help to differentiate, but…IDK, maybe it’d help to be a little more explicit?). A lot of very cool anti-zionist Jews are in this fight, and deserve the solidarity inherent in recognizing the reaction against them. Like when 30% of those arrested for pro-Palestine activism in Germany are/were Jewish…

Please don’t remove until after Godzilla is created.

Are they counting stuff from the establishment and mainstream news (rhetorical; of course they’re not)? Because a huge portion of pro-zionist shit is absolutely antisemitic (all the times they conflate Judaism and zionism/Israel, imply Israel represents all Jews, etc.).

Mearsheimer brain

Meh, seems relevant enough here.

So, you can no longer pay for anything fun or interesting.

Buckle up. The revolution is nigh.

Seems the link is bad. This one appears correct.

Dunno. It’s kinda all undone by the exclamation point after his title. LMAO.

Hopefully he’ll just shit himself and call it a nuke.

declared a state of emergency, suspending constitutional protections…

God I love the RuLe oF LaW! At the times when protections really matter, you can just get rid of them.

Also, if they intensify the violence like crazy right before the “ceasefire”, then they get to claim that they really are ceasefiring if they just go back to the status quo of their normal slaughter. I mean, that’s how ceasefires work, right? Simply decreasing the intensity definitely equates to ceasing.

Or there’s the anarchist model: ruthlessly eliminate those very positions of power. Because it’s only a matter of time until you get this kind of infestation of them. Authority leads to abuse of authority. And even doing “nothing” with your authority is an abuse, because, by merely holding it, you inherently reserve for yourself the ability to do stuff.

I missed the boat, but I can’t help but still respond to this comment by @s0ykaf@hexbear.net from the previous news mega:

he’s an english literature graduate who decided to create a “new kind of history”, based on asimov’s psychohistory, after teaching a shallow as fuck course of “the entirety of human history” (lmao.) to some school age teenagers

People who understand neither history, nor psychology, nor mathematics, nor Asimov. SMDH.

(This actually semi includes Azimov himself, recursively, but that’s okay because he was writing sci-fi and knew he was writing sci-fi.)

God damn it. Beer as philosophy should be much better than this. SMH.

When you can’t even put your firearm down during a brief class where you roleplay with weapons.

A local radio station was going to interview the Sheriff, and he decided to cancel because they don’t allow guns inside the station office and asked him not to bring it in.

Pigs always, always, always want to have the capability to murder people in an instant. It is quite an addiction. I wonder how many of them sleep with guns under their pillows, like in the movies.

It is actually possible to take the “never, ever, ever question anything Palestinians or their allies do” too far. Creating another Chernobyl would, in fact, not be okay even if Palestinians decided to do it.

first flying robot

People have a very weird idea of what a robot is. Drones/UAVs have been a thing for quite some time now.

True. Though I was thinking more universally, when people just started not detecting (or caring about) sarcasm in such things.

Probably the Internet had a lot to do with it. But, TBF, there’s a much longer trend of general illiteracy and lack of critical thought, especially in the U.S…
