Further update:
Spoke with a United rep and she confirmed that, indeed, the United app sucks.

Travel update:
TSA up and running at Albany, NY airport.
United app still sucks.

Big question. I would only argue, at this point, that we can assert the fishes reality in a material sense but determining their subjective state would take more work (which I think is possible to do).

I think this passage demonstrates Zhuangzi's philosophical realism, that reality (dao) exists independently from our mental constructs we use to apprehend it.

君子之德風，小人之德草。草上之風，必偃

Truly the anti-Confucian

So it seems pretty clear that Trumpist flunkies cannot indict a ham sandwich before a grand jury 🤪

Yes. Because the Trump regime is fundamentally inhumane (不 仁).

Europe should comprehensively boycott the US economically. Demand the World Cup be moved.
Only by accelerating and deepening the economic pain of Trumpist idiocy will things change.

The Party determined this outcome years ago. The "legal" charade was drawn out to make it seem judicious. It was not. Just standard CCP repression.
One country, one deeply inhumane system.

Yes

Made it to my flight but just barely.
After the immigration debacle my United app failed and I could not call up a boarding pass. Had to run to get a paper one.
TIL: never trust the United app.

Over an hour in, still some way to go.
Trump sent all the border agents to Minneapolis to shoot people and arrest kids.

Go Seahawks!

Flying into Dulles today, massive line for immigration. Trump has made it a shithole country.

Horrible.

Trump is full of shit and will do nothing to make this happen.

suspension of ethical disbelief?

Trump’s base racism is longstanding and central to his personality and psychology. It predates his obvious mental illness.
He should be removed from office as soon as possible.

Glaringly clear that Gelernter, in defending this, is a moral failure.

Yes. Keep those Everton interlopers out of the cottage!

Bad bad bad.

Not terribly surprising since Kuhn is a consummate bootlicker.

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is:

The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

Happy Birthday!
