Checked to see what Shoreh Aghdashloo (Avasarala on the Expanse) was posting about this and I should not have done that.

We’re not in war
So don’t forget it
It’s just a silly phase
We’re goin through

Case in point. Just one of American interventionism’s many flavors.

Hard to blame them because Rubio opened the door, but I’m not wild about acting as if we got dragged into this vs this admin simply wanting to do it.

This is funny because at some point in life I heard a clip of Carter saying β€œAyatollah Ruhollah…” with his accent and it’s the first thing I hear every time I hear the Ayatollah mentioned.

There really is a broad cross-section of Americans who think the US government has little or no agency and if it does something bad it must be attributable to some other party.

The parenthetical *seems* to imply that mixed or half-white people are naturally more amenable to Nazi associations, and/or their opinions on this are especially untrustworthy. I don’t think that’s the case.

Have to say this implication about mixed people undercuts the rest a bit.

Gotta be kidding. I’ll never understand this. And of all years.

What the hell are they doing down there?

I don’t believe managers can cause players to regress. What he and the FO did is give Walker a chance to play nearly every day and he absolutely tanked. Regression would be kind.

I get being mad at voters, but blaming them is pointless because there’s no mechanism by which they learn except for politicians being willing to aggressively wage politics. When I’ve canvassed, there’s a lot of great people out there but also a lot of literal ignorance. Including registered voters.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

People yell about competence and experience when you talk about primarying people like this, but I really think the future depends on scaring the shit out of them and getting their minds right.
