a way to lend legitimacy to future war crimes tribunals against the Trump administration is to also charge Biden officials for abetting war crimes in Gaza. Also let’s put finally try John Yoo.

Excerpt from Richard Evans' The Third Reich in Power: On 27 June 1933 Hitler’s government issued a law authorizing the building of a new type of road, the motorway (Autobahn). The dual-carriageway roads would link Germany’s major cities with one another, establishing a communications network that would allow citizens and freight to be transported with unprecedented speed and directness across the land. The idea originally came from Italy, where a prototype had been built as early as 1924. A private enterprise scheme had already been proposed to link Hamburg, Frankfurt and Basel and planned in some detail from 1926 onwards, but in the circumstances of the Depression it had come to nothing. Almost as soon as he was appointed Reich Chancellor, Hitler took it up again. Speaking at the Berlin International Motor Show on 11 February 1933, Hitler declared that the state of the nation’s highways would in future be the chief yardstick by which its prosperity would be measured. An enthusiastic devotee of the automobile, he had travelled the length and breadth of the land by car during the election campaigns of the previous years, and regarded driving - or at least being driven - as an aesthetic experience far superior to that provided by flying or travelling by train. Thus the new motorways were going to be built along scenic routes, with lay-bys for travellers where they could get out of their vehicles, stretch their legs and admire the German countryside. For Fritz Todt, the man whom Hitler appointed on 30 June 1933 to oversee the building of the motorways, they even fulfilled a racial purpose, linking the motor-borne German soul to the authentic woods, mountains and fields of its native land, and expressing the Nordic race’s delight in the adventure, speed and excitement provided by modern technology.

highways are Hitlerism

it's happened to all of us at some point

"Wagner backed the Nazi radicals who championed a holistic approach based on herbs and other natural remedies, known as the New German Healing. He did not conceal his disdain for...conventional university medicine, and rejected its dependency on synthetic pharmacology."

"The head of the Nazi Physicians’ League from before 1933, and from 1936 leader of the Reich Physicians’ Chamber, was Gerhard Wagner, a close associate of Rudolf Hess and an enthusiast for alternative medicine."

at the same time, LLMs are, in their own way, instantiating the Hayekian proposition that equates information to reasoning. we're not post-neoliberal, but in the era of neoliberalism consuming itself

Polymarket and Kalshi feel like the end of neoliberalism in a way that Trumpian 'mercantlism' was not and could never be - both the end as in the apotheosis, and as the thing that is so obviously corrosive it finally and definitively disproves the neoliberal thesis

I want to fucking destroy them

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.

Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection.

A tooth infection.

Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

I want to remind us all: The people of Israel are strong. The IDF and the Air Force are strong. The strongest power in the world stands with us. In moments like these we stand together - and we win together. There is no coalition and no opposition, only one people and one IDF, with all of us behind them 🇮🇱

The so called leader of opposition in Israel endorsing full throated war of aggression while bragging that the US supports it every step of the way

death to "America" as well, obviously

death to the zionist entity, whatever's happening right now

a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead

I had thought that enacting proportional representation might be the only thing Labour could do to stop a Reform government (and they wouldn't) but maybe they will if it it's not to save the country, but instead to save themselves from total electoral wipeout and replacement by the Greens?

reading The Third Reich in Power has me thinking that the Gestapo is perhaps not the best analogy for ICE/DHS. a better label might be the Goofus-SS

I hadn't previously seen the (unsurprising) fact that the National Sheriffs’ Association elected a Jan 6er as its president. Second Reconstruction should proscribe it as an insurrectionary organization

fuck the rest of these people, but David Klion did not 'promote anti-Semitic [sic] content', please be serious

oh, is there a takings issue? well, the Ellisons have been executed for treason in this scenario, let's see if anyone complains

this post brought to by seeing a house with the street number spelled out with letters

not sure if it's strictly my *favorite*, but it's one that I think should get mentioned in these conversations more

Get used to it, honey. From now on, we'll be spelling everything with letters!

I can't stop thinking about the beauty of the sentence "I am working against all of history for the vindication of our historic cause."

seems appropriate if not outright inevitable that someone whose first language was Armenian, whose grandfather survived the Armenian genocide, but who has worked alongside an Armenian genocide denier for over two decades at a job named after its perpetrators would end up being an open antisemite
