Oregon Coast reply guy born the month Japan surrendered, a lot of things have changed since then. Failed family guy w/computer jobs. My hope is for the deep future more than anything I see around here but working and hoping for a soft landing.
this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms, and save what’s left of their country, which isn’t much!” Trump posted while flying from Washington to Palm Beach, Florida, where he is expected to spend the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

there was a lot of very similar friction between 2nd wave feminists and BLM like the Panthers in the 60s-70s. It split the Black movement in that case and the feminists carried the day.
these days it's about the Trans
we're willing to persecute criminals whether they are guilty or not
... would that really be so much worse than our present political situation?
why would you assume that an AI would consist of a single unified entity? Right now they are a welter of inconsistent "personalities" which are gaining salience, why wouldn't they continue to evolve separately with conflicting goals? Even war on each other?
i'm thinking signage for warnings or identifying businesses and the so on, like signs for Men an Women. Works better if people are only modestly mutually bilingual?
who is taking these videos? Evidently Iran has established a line of Early Warning Eyeballs in place that have thus far evaded counter-defense action.
tbf none of us 'mericans do self-reflection hardly at all
thinking about it, perhaps sound-it-out writing developed as a means of facilitating communication between the two groups? Interfaces are quintessentially productive places in general.
everything is simple if you only have one pov
much faster loop to decide eg what to be bombing next
a billion ants all over everything in here all of a sudden. Ah, Spring!!
they taste AWFUL
"How did we get here?... The answer is not a mystery. It is a process."
an EVOLUTIONARY process driven by individual survival choices. Important to understand socio-evolution.

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.
were people in the Sinai in those days Nilotic farmers or Semitic sheepherders?
Netanyahu already has boots on the ground and advancing with heavy fighting and orders for civilians to evacuate in southern Lebanon and bombing in Beirut
this war is not just about Iran
"Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?"
midnight at the oasis
large churches/mosques/synagogues have always had paid security, same as any large sponsored public event, not a new or special thing
One way to resolve the Anti-semitism/Zionism conundrum is by reifing the nation-state as "Netanyahu" the same way everybody refers to Saddam, or Hitler, or Sukarno, or Trump
not that there isn't a supporting cast worthy of further attention at an appropriate time, of course
It seems Netanyahu is taking advantage of the Iran situation to take some ground on a different front. Lebanon effort starting to seem pretty major, not reading hardly anything in the news.
I guess the ground-pounders are feeling left out, need something to do?
The KC is more maneuverable, if it got its refueling probe ripped out it might be unflyable but havomg a chance to make a controlled ditch
Here is JAL-123, a 747 that flew straight and level for half an hour with vertical tail missing before crashing into rising terrain, exercising some control by manipulating the engines.

same crowd, many of the same people, still talking
it was the same in the '70s when E.O. Wilson proposed that some human behavioral traits arose from the same genetic/evolutionary source as behavioral traits in insects, which was what the rest of the book [Sociology:The New Synthesis] was about. The New Atheists gave him a pie in the face.
who confirmed Roberts, Thomas, and Alito? After Bork got Borked everybody was worn out I guess
WE are the ones who have driven them together. In other times, Russia is very happy to war with Muslim states, cf Chechnya
It would be a shocking disrespect of the Principle of Nation-State Sovereignty if they weren't on the same side at this moment
sure. you think that makes it OK?

"Officers responsible for the attack were charged and convicted in federal court", but otoh that was 1997
compare AI behavior, totally in the moment. You have to ask, Does Trump possess consciousness, or is it just a shallow stochastic process of generating the next media event in a series?
like Elon said, the strategy is "go fast and break things". Collateral damage is just what happens.
Revolution requires anger, and our collective problem is that we've lost it, "be nice like Mom said," and the Bills and Pols walk all over us. We need the anger back. So far mostly what you see is impotent frustration.
