Schoof is zo'n type hogere ambtenar die altijd de boel wil sussen om consensus te behouden, maar wel alleen als hij dat doet. Verstikkende eerzucht heeft hem dit fiasco van een premierschap bezorgt.

Hier kan ie echt geen AfD stemmers mee aantrekken hoor.

Well, i work in tech, in the wider sense. But for my own entrepreneurial spams i've had the misfortune to struggle with comparisons with Musk's public persona (before he was the world's richest man, he had created this aura of being the smartest man). So, my WTF erlebnis is ongoing since ± 15 years

I actually looked it up, but it was just silly reporting.

As far as fake news, as an ongoing test i do keep an eye on Tesla stock and news about it that continues to be pushed in sight.. it's really a sort of stochastic terrorism around a stock that is priced about 50 times more than it should be

Heather Cox Richardson highlights similar discrepancies from Trump's word salad addressing the generals. You see his brain collapsing in real time and holding on to the fragments, but the flow is gone and its ability for constructive conceptualization. His brain is kaput...

It's interesting how she frames it on flaws in the paradigmatic framework. Essentially it became too machine-like by trying to quantify everything as material flows. Such "evolving super-fundamentals" define the context for an economic system to function. It just needs to become more natural

That top left CNBC headline is bizarre... As if buzz management can compensate for lack of fundamentals.

"Religion is War" - James Hillman

Was this the alternative ending to The Bibi Files?

The horror...

Yup, Fred Trump's main business partner William Tomasello was intertwined with both the Gambino and Genovese families.

The Trump-stamped buildings seem to have been specifically setup as a laundromat, but it won't surprise me it started earlier with projects in Manhattan like the Commodore

Indeed. The bits on Sadopopulism, Cybercolonization and Cyberfascism are extremely insightful.

Trump's connections with Russia appear to start soon after the Third Wave of Jewish Russian immigrants arrived in New York in the 1970s. Craig Unger and Sarah Kendzior published books on this...

Defending the United States against Russian dark money Warfare has evolved and the United States now faces a major unconventional threat: Russia's estimated $1 trillion of dark money. With it, the Kremlin can wreak havoc if the US fails to act and recogni...

Kissinger left a lot of wound behind on this planet...

There's also a large dark money factor, which is partly just the local informal shadow economy, but Russia exported much of its riches and used it for power and politics.

That's where the comparison with Russia emerges again. How this will lead to a strengthening of crime syndicates. Which may actually be what some want with their network state / freedom cities... but i guess they don't realize the innate force of "inequity aversion" when it'll be directed to them

Lots of "deer in the headlights" and cynical opportunism. The tech-right do seem to realize they're in an existential crisis of fake success as they're caught up in a long-term short-termism cycle and haven't been truly original for close to two decades. Popping the AI bubble will break the dollar.

There is a clear intelligence cut-off. Quite a few individual police departments have set internal maximums, often in the 120-125 IQ range, to reduce job turnover. The national average is just about 100-104.

I must confess to making a screenshot of the "I eat the dice" reply... Next i'll print it out on A1 format and plaster the wall behind my desk with it.

Well, that is what i wonder about... Does the devious brutality of the interests closest to Trump overrule and outweigh the sly games of the tech-right, christofascists and the nationalists?

I vaguely recall a joke about the difference between Cannes and San Remo... about diamonds being fake and orgasms being real, or the other way around. I guess some can have their cake ànd eat it...

Business as Usual: The Rise of the Russian Mafia In These Times editor Joel Bleifuss takes a hard look at the Russian mafia–in film and in the real world.

Russian mafia is an institution with a long history, just like the Italian mafia is a continuation of the old South-Italian feudal system of landowners. If the OSS (CIA) hadn't given them (Cosa Nostra+) a monopoly on cocaine trade for their help during WWII, it would have been more benign i guess..

"What had begun as a grand moral attempt to build a rational society ended by creating a bizarre, bewildering existence for millions of Soviet people."

The long duration (seven one-hour parts) create a sort of sensory overload and drain that makes you experience the growing despair and deepening cynicism.

Fwiw the Russians always revert to chemical when mere brute force fails to deliver

I tend to completely ignore X. Facebook was bad enough. I think i agree but i'm getting lost in the abbreviations (damn character limit). What's a "PoC"?

As far as Musk is concerned, i share Charlie Munger's closing remark on www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Aq...

Ah, i thought it was from the recordings in the Oval office with Trump.

I recall the "fncked" remark from other news sources. It may have indeed referred to large scale manipulation involving vast amounts of demographics and psychometrics..

Yea, it's just an amorphous blur that has her wildly charging after a red flag. I guess she's on the millenarianist side of the current Messianic annexationism craze which fuels the current settler movement...

"The dark money game" documentary shows how deep politics in Ohio had sunk, and actually provided a breeding ground and fast track for Vance to quickly rise to the top without actually being popular or have a track record or have a political network.
