There's ALSO the "Wag the Dog" aspect of "The Visuals of War!" being poentially distracting from those Million-or-so mentions in the Trump-Epstein files.

AND the possibility that they could use a potential *outside* threat to invoke Martial Law, since the Minnesota attempt failed so badly.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

one of his main messages was that women shouldn't go to college...

Yep, pretty much the "call back" to exactly this!

Both in vibe, AND because of the dimensions used, design-wise.

Fitting :

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

Feels like another chance to role out the quote from the Dark Knight “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain”

Boomer Arses Radicalised by Facebook

This works!

Leaving aside the fact this is Actual John Cleese, I think we need a neater term for boomers radicalised by Facebook.

This is sadly true!

Basically, it comes down to, "Do we like Circles or Infinity Signs best, for the feelings evoked here?"

...points your eye back IN to the design.

But from a "Building Community, and Long-term Meaning" perspective, I like A better.

So either way, I think BOTH are good, and would be happy to buy, wear, and SEE either of these around our city!💝🫶💖

Yep, A "feels" more "circling the wagons, and keeping everyone protected"

But B "brings the eye back in, and keeps it moving around the community, reminding us that it's *all* these actions which we take to keep us safe."

From a purely "design" aspect, I like B best, because it actively...

Back on my bull … decided Community Defense jacket icon workshopped Saturday works better as ... a t-shirt! Will also pursue jacket but decided shirt (Mpls flag homage) should feature whistle (neighborhood alert), iPhone (legal observing), grocery bag (mutual aid) & fist (protest). You like A or B?

It’s pretty strange that they went to the effort to specifically target, and reportedly kill, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has had no significant role in Iranian politics to my knowledge since the 2010s. Did they want to stop the weird hip-hop tweets?

This is the guy who wants the peace prize! Piece of shit prize is what he deserves. Monster!

if my choices are between life in prison and having to live with myself after blowing up an elementary school full of children, im picking life in prison in a heartbeat. i’ll be miserable either way. let me at least be miserable with integrity

Not that it means anything anymore, but surely starting a shooting war without going to Congress should be something worthy of another impeachment to add to his collection.

Follow the money and you'll find the real reason for every decision Trump makes.

I honestly think that they made a kill list based on whose names they’d heard and could remember

this kid has already out-millennial-ed the most stereotypical millennials

Americans really need to make their mind up, what are we the bland spiceless nation with no seasonings, or are we the weird nation with a wall of unknowable spices that are strange of foreign??

Like, I get all of these aren’t super common, but surely everyone should have Zaatar and Sumac??

Sumac is like a lemony pepper and is amazing and Zaatar you can put basically on whatever you want.

Measles outbreaks are costing the U.S. millions of dollars. The true losses can't be counted. As vaccination rates decline, the economic consequences will increase, research suggests.

If measles vaccination rates continue to drop just 1% annually for the next five years, the cost to the U.S. could reach $1.5 billion a year, according to a new report from the Yale School of Public Health.

the people who asked the LLM to do this can, however, be held responsible for it. the people who sold the model to those people can. the people who executed the orders can be. We must not let deflection stand as excuse or absolution.
