"If you don't understand how human consciousness works, you can't say AI isn't conscious" is absolutely no less stupid an argument than "If you don't understand how the human respiratory system works, you can't say my dad *hasn't* stolen my nose".
Please note that CA, WA and FL provide the rest of the country with a great deal of our food, transported via diesel truck!
Sodomizing a Palestinian prisoner with a knife on camera is apparently legal in Israel
If the Gulf countries are really pissed & want to screw Trump they’d call in all their loans to Trump, Jared, & Uday & Qusay.
The risk, of course, is Trump would probably bomb them.
I think people are overrating the odds the ayatollah is a purely rational utility maximizer and underrating the odds the guy is rather upset about his father, wife, and daughter being incinerated and wants his pound of flesh.
eventually the rest of the world is going to come to the conclusion they have no choice but to punish the american electorate collectively for refusing to take our responsibility seriously
Something like 90% of US farmers voted Trump, despite being massively screwed over by his first Presidency's tariffs/blunders on ag policy. This term has them under attack from every angle, from fuel costs to tariffs to deportation of their labor force. Fascinating!
this shit is so profoundly embarrassing, two seat taxis are a terrible idea and there is absolutely zero reason to pretend otherwise... you are all simply advertising your inability to produce a single independent thought
I swear to fucking god, if people don't discover the ability to think critically about shit that Elon Musk has decided is a good idea I'm going to get a job pumping gas
Congressional and Presidential candidates who support Trump's illegal war in Iran could be toast in their primary races, according to our exclusive new poll with @dropsitenews.com. Especially if they are Democrats.
Full results, including on the war's Epstein factor:

The hardline pro-Israel wing of the Democratic Party has been experiencing the biggest dog catches car moment ever over the last couple of years and they're still mad

Yeah well I mean, >85% of Democratic voters think this is a stupid fucking idea, >75% think negatively of Israel, and even >80% of Democratic members of Congress weren't stupid enough to vote against the WPR.
Sorry but you're a sucker if you think you can just cry and appeal to "the big tent".
Right-wing Christians and even the NRSC have lined up to mock James Talarico’s inclusive, open-hearted Christianity.
Some have even called it blasphemy.
But the Christ of the outsider and the poor is a threat to their political power.

In 2026, America has entered into a Golden Age... for one person and his cronies
Jonathan V Last: An Institute of Peace white paper from 2010(!) explained with uncanny accuracy exactly how the Iranian regime would react to an attack and how they think about self-preservation. Typically, nobody in the Trump Admin seems to have read it.
A comically shortsighted example concerns our depleted stock of munitions, imperiled by concentration and outsourcing. buff.ly/P9T5wzp
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Nearly 700,000 people have been driven from their homes as Israeli strikes continue. Three cargo ships report being hit by unknown projectiles in and near the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar, Saudi Arabia Kuwait, U.A.E. and Oman say they have intercepted drones and missiles.
Nearly 700,000 people have been driven from their homes in Lebanon due to Israeli bombing, according to the New York Times.
For comparison's sake, the entire National Park Service costs $3 billion - a year.
common take on here is that trump admin backlash will be so severe that the US is going to go back to normal after all this and honestly, i think we’re gonna get worse.
That is the most common kind of war, to be honest.
Hard to believe the biggest fuckups in the history of the world fucked this up

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
This is your regular reminder that Palantir is complicit in war crimes.
"...both the Israeli and U.S. militaries are using Palantir’s Maven to conduct operations. Maven is a battlefield intelligence platform." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran.
Here is a gift link to the article, and a few select quotes:

You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.
Unfucking believable
