To Recap:
Russia: Invades, bombs, & kills Ukrainian civilians
•NOT banned from Olympics
Israel: Commits war crimes & genocide against Palestinian civilians
•NOT banned from Olympics
Muslim women: Wears hijab as a personal choice, harms no one
•BANNED from the Olympics
Apparently women’s self autonomy is more dangerous than war criminals.

If you want to understand the failure of U.S. journalism, especially the complete inadequacy of political interviews in this country, in a single short clip, here it is:
RADDATZ: What the heck did #Trump mean in saying his supporters won't have to vote again in four years?
CHRIS SUNUNU: Haha. I think that was a classic Trumpism, if you will.
RADDATZ: Ok. Let's turn to President Biden and Kamala Harris.

After this week, it can no longer be denied that Elon Musk is a terrible person.
His daughter hit his back at his insults and Grimes’ mother begged on Twitter to let her three children see their dying great-grandmother. How does this not discredit him?

If you ever wondered about what the Politics of #Bitcoin were, just look at the invited headliners at the Bitcoin2024 conference:
Donald Trump (Fascist), Russel Brand (Right Wing Grifter), Robert F. Kennedy (Conspiracy Nutjob), Vivek Ramaswamy (another fashy right Wing Grifter). And Edward Snowden (Libertarian with often dubious politics) to look less openly fascist.
But the politics are right there on the surface.
Excellent LA Times article on #Project2025's call to dismantle #NOAA and privatize the National Weather Service. This will destroy the nation’s ability to track weather, combat #climatechange and protect the public from environmental hazards.
That part of Project 2025 was written by Thomas Gilman, a right-wing Trump appointee who comes from the auto, oil/gas/, mining industry -- threatened by climate change policies.
Thread: the spread of agriculture and the rise of the state.
You have probably heard some variation of this argument:
“Humans are bad in some way—violent, rapacious, hierarchical, etc—because bad social structures outcompete good social structures.”
Violent societies outfight and conquer peaceful societies. Agricultural societies outbreed and swamp non-agricultural societies. Hierarchical societies mobilize more labor and resources and bludgeon egalitarian societies. It’s a sort of folk-Game Theory argument that’s quite popular in certain misanthropic circles, especially among people who enjoy feeling holier-than-thou without explicitly resorting to racist myths or social Darwinism.

I keep seeing Cursive come up, so I'm curious. Feel free to elaborate in the comments.
