Leviathan

Every Billionaire is a Policy Failure.

Omg! I love Tom The Dancing Bug! Here is yet another kickstarter to join.

We've seen Ukraine intentionally announce news about weapons procurement and capabilities. I assume they do it as a campaign to intimidate Russians while encouraging Ukraine's allies. For example: information about Flamingo missiles supports the narrative that Ukraine can win.

Once Musk owns the robots who do all the work he can more efficiently dispose of the rabble and repopulate the world with his progeny.

Trump is just happy it isn't an article about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Who has time for that when he says ten new stupid things a day? Squirrel!

TBH I don't examine every exhibit, but I enjoy the arc. As someone who wouldn't have the patience to compile such a detailed thread complete with branching sidelines and caveats, I'm in awe of you demonstrating what can only be called a "rare super power".

There is a word for such accessories: merkin.

That was great. You deserve a follow.

BTW the Russian trains run on diesel.

I'm not a Disney Plus subscriber either however I did take the time to google "how to cancel my Disney Plus account" and visit the relevant Disney hosted pages on the subject. Someone is paying attention I'm sure.

I wholeheartedly agree. I have been voting for only women (when possible) for almost 30 years after reading about the studies of bonobo vs chimpanzee societies.

For 30 years now I've only voted for female candidates when available, modulo due diligence research for red flags. Male politicians tend to be emotionally self centered and lack empathy and are therefore second choice by default.

Hell no! And it ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough,... ...the tough get goin'! Who's with me?

To be more clear: our hopes and dreams for whatever Trump will do will always lead to disappointment, whether we love or hate him. The best strategy when making Trumpy predictions is solid pessimism, and assume he will always burn Country and World for his own gain.

Jake, I enjoy your analysis on youtube and bluesky but your predictions of Trump's early demise sound like hopium to me. It is reasonable to explore the scenario so carry on but I think there's an 80% chance he'll survive his term while his old-age problems become increasingly apparent.

I haven't been able to do it but something that worked for a friend of mine: eat no food after 6pm.

TBH it looks like the barge was wired to explode. The attack boat was aiming for a painted target directly underneath a shrouded stack of cargo, which is probably a pile of explosives. All to make the drone look more potent than it actually is?

Sure, we all hope Trump will do something "right", but I don't think Trump will get Medieval on Putin's ass over Russia dissing him, so I'm making counter predictions to yours. Someday one of us can say to the other: "I told you so."

Ukraine advances because of its soldiers' heroism and the help of ALL of its allies. US support is merely a part: don't attribute everything to Trump. Meanwhile he is doing bare minimum and for the wrong selfish reasons. The bar for human decency you've set for him is too low. Talk about blindness.

Being a remote observer of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has changed me. I now need three hours of footage like that to serve as my next Christmas yule log video.

No. Trump is atypical narcissist. He will gladly accept an apparent "black eye" in exchange for personal enrichment. Engineering a "bankruptcy" to exploit tax loopholes is one example. Meanwhile Trump is also a coward, except in the realm of lawsuits. He will disappoint your predictions.

Every billionaire is a policy failure. Redistribution would be a good policy.

To be fair: it can take a while to update the database of the rubber stamp machine.

russians are definitely human. The problem is: humans can be terrible. These days I've been characterizing russians as "barbarians". Simple, accurate, and not technically dehumanizing.

Unfortunately Derek managed father three daughters before moving to Russia, so he is technically less of a Darwinian loser than many smart but childless adults you know. OTOH, he relocated his children to Russia where their Darwinian odds have been reduced. His final judgement is still pending.

"...pogrom of palestinians ... dehumanizing a whole population"...

I don't disagree with you there. But I thank you for answering my question. Since you don't recognize the cognitive dissonance of your own statements I conclude: you are a hypocrite. Good to know, carry on.

Meanwhile you re-posted this:

Are you a hypocrite? Do you make distinctions between these two examples? Or do you despise your own behavior that "refers terrorism to the enemy while justifying ur own means to terrorizing"?
