Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

The fire danger is going to be unreal this year. I strongly suggest stocking up on N95s and air purifiers if you can.

A parody of the “Hard times create strong men” meme The first panel has a typical diagram of the jet streams and is captioned “Hard times create strong jet streams,” alluding to the lack of climate change making for stable weather. The second panel depicts a nice day in a riverside city and is captioned “Strong jet streams create good times.” This is in reference to the stable weather of Europe contributing to their historical success via imperialism. The third panel is an explainer for the cha gong jet streams, describing how warmer weather causes it to undulate and wave, making for unseasonable weather. It is captioned “Good times create weak jet streams,” ie, carbon burning that led to economic success also led to warmer weather that weakened the jet stream. The fourth panel depicts the current omega blocking in Europe, causing a heat wave in England and France while Spain and Greece are experiencing flooding. It is captioned “Weak jet streams create hard times.”

c) we tied all means of wealth generation, retirement, and even access to basic health and social services to going along with and hyping up the make-believe of those business leaders.

I am already mad at him

A big part of how America got to where we are is we created the social conditions where a) business leaders have more say in how society is organized than any other social group or institution, and b) they are completely ensconced in fantasy bubbles constantly reaffirming their make-believe bullshit

My Year as a Degenerate Sports Gambler Practically overnight, America made wagering on a game as frictionless as checking the weather. I was determined to understand the consequences—for my country, and for myself.

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
