wowwww I vaguely remember her being angrily anti-Bernie Sanders in 2020

lol

Probably wont ever be relevant that this regime insists on holding all operations in the world's least secure country club

Anyone check in on that 23 year old “counterterrorism expert” at DHS recently?

Mike Davis talked about the assassination of Franco's planned successor, Blanco, as a key part of Spain's transition to democracy by destabilizing the regime and opening new possibilities. Davis knew his stuff but afaik he didn't elaborate the argument

The people who say (and more importantly, do) the right thing today should be pushed forward.

A lot of people are looking at this as insider trading but it's an even bigger issue for national security if there was advance warning of air strikes.

What if Congress decided to go to work tomorrow? How many of us have worked weekend jobs or come in for a weekend when there's an emergency?

Must have forgotten the French word for obituary is « nécrologie » lol

Then the big CEOs start thinking they don’t need a predictable legal system because they can just make Deals with a personalist state. Yeah, well, that works until it doesn’t

The most useful writing I’ve read on the subject remains this blog post from William Scheuerman about the dual state: Fraenkel’s argument—that capital requires a normative state—falls apart when economic power becomes highly consolidated verfassungsblog.de/trump-2-0-as...

Rewatched some of my favorite parts of S6, Bojack Horseman really stuck the landing. Good for Jonny Sun not just being a poster and getting some good work done

A lawless, unconstitutional government, murdering innocent civilians at home, abroad, & on the high seas.

meanwhile, war rages on at home.

We always need to keep our eye on what kind of politics energy infrastructures enable.

Never noticed the Tacitus-Kriss echo before:

congress sounds cool i wish it was real

ian bremmer @ianbremmer X.com if china was ever considering invading russia, this would be the time

Ian bremmer has always been an idiot but I think he’s actually quite useful as a good litmus test on foreign policy: if you approvingly cite him you probably also have no idea what you’re talking about

hey we're doing an operation called Based Epic Chad. lol. everybody will think this is awesome. we will never end up like Mussolini

Underrated just how much the US and Israel have been desecrating the very idea of diplomatic engagement by doing these obvious bait and switches.

This is the third time now that negotiations were used as cover to prepare for a war already decided. The lesson is to never speak to the US.

The (implicit) claim is that it's none of the People's business how, whether, and where we go to war

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

This is just really embarrassing for these guys. Your intellectual hero is an amphetamine casualty from the Britpop years. It would be less ridiculous to be queuing up for a lecture by Ginger Spice.

I lived with a Hungarian when I was in India and I remember when he was introducing himself to someone they were like "Hungary! Are you from Budapest, or, uh....not-Budapest?"

I do think it’s funny that all those right-wing weirdos ended up in little flats in Budapest eating nice pastries, feeding off of scraps from Orban’s table, and talking themselves into thinking this was the future of the West.

Do we have a Constitution anymore, or is it just optional? Because if it’s the second thing it opens up a lot of options about what to do with these guys
