The New Dark Age The Trump administration has launched an attack on knowledge itself.

It's long been clear there's a common denominator to a lot of the institutions Trump picks as enemies: Journalists, Universities, Courts, the Intelligence Community. All independent sources of facts & information that might conflict with his fabricated reality. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn them. This was such a promising direction and now the neanderthals in charge of everything in this country and trying to kill us all.

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

It’s surreal that I have to go to a foreign leader to hear someone describe the full derangement and malignancy of my own president in plain language, because our own β€œfree press” and opposition leaders won’t do it. Bravo Trudeau

This is what’s happening! It’s the Main Cause! This is why the world has gone insane! Not economic alienation or material conditions or any of it. The fragmentation of the information system into a meme-driven bias reinforcement machine is the problem stancilculture.substack.com/p/the-intern...

Yes it’s true that simply eliminating the Palestinians as the first step in a megalomaniacal plan to make Gaza an American state would β€œdisrupt the tired diplomatic paradigm,” in the same way we could β€œdisrupt tired diplomacy” with Iran by nuking every inch of Iran into glass

It’s lose-lose and for no reason whatsoever. Even the stated justifications are bogus.
