Ugh, non-running Fayetteville SUV, real pervert stuff. Very insulting.

In their reckoning, *that* liberal democracy caused the Vietnam War *and* lost Algeria and so was replaced by a slightly different liberal democracy that assumed DeGaulle was immortal

I mean, that also fits with “Mills isn’t campaigning because I don’t see it on Bsky, the 38-year-old ap”

Oh shit, somehow it was in my head that Hyde was 4*6* but he was 4*1*, just like Platner

Hey, he’s got 5 years until he’s old enough for Henry Hyde’s “youthful indiscretion”

Right, some internal guardrails failed here.

(Also, pragmatically, one of the biggest problems in the whole situation is the belief that Israel will just “stop existing” as a plausible outcome)

“What if we make the entire party out of hatchet-man?”

It’s hand selecting the psykers rather than using them as they show up (or choosing the Chaos corrupted ones by preference, like Grok)

My guess is that it’s actually the wrong type of sleezy for a man of his generation and social pretensions.

This is the guy who can’t fuck his wife b/c woke or something, right?

Gotta add “Minister of Transport” to that portfolio

The Troubles?

This Is not to endorse an “ancient hatreds/Balkan Ghosts” but that the modal conflict doesn’t have a side who’s beef is “Your existence/non-subservience offends me”

A terrible intellectual legacy of Jim Crow is that American broad left tends to view conflict that isn’t just a civil war as being Jim Crow-shaped and therefore there’s a side that’s ~blameless and a side that ~doing bad stuff for basically unsympathetic reasons, and this is actually a rare dynamic.

British person detected.

I think my “shying away from the bad vibes” principle might be at work here. The Hegseth/WH propaganda is constant, ugly, stupid, and boring and would only appeal to assholes, so people (including journalists) don’t want to spend time on them.

Don’t let the Trump administration members know about en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erect%2...

I am not talking about duty to rescue, I don’t have any insight into that but I do not believe that the attack on the shit was illegal under IHL, which was, per your post, the “more important” claim. I believe it was likely illegal under US law.

Because that was the claim above?

I don’t think that *actual capacity* to *functionally resist* matters under IHL

I don’t believe that’s germane to it being a violation of IHL (rather than of potentially US law)

“rated like a dog”

Graeber was an academic who was also an intellectual anarchist. He wants to tell 2 ideological stories: people intuitively like jobs that have social benefit; division of labor is hierarchy and therefore bad.

They’re lucky it’s relatively cool right now, so they have time to ramp up before summer.

Understand stocks vs flows in policy challenge (impossible)

That was my impression but I lack the knowledge of MMA to have made that claim definitively

Good lord

It’s pretty clear what Graeber’s ideological goal here is: bullshit jobs are ones that clash with G’s idiosyncratic ivory tower anarchism, particularly a deep hostility to decision of labor because his intuition that it values some skills over others and promoted hierarchy. Which, sure, so what?

In fairness, see also Cyrus and Alexander to varying degrees but less skull pyramids.

I think the numbers are probably closer to 60%, but also “only 60% shows up” is “Democrats get over 300 seats“ scenario (and, realistically, the issue is a proportion of MAGA arn't consistent R voters rather than consistent Trump voters)
