Genuinely hilarious

This is the dumbest most cowardly man that has ever existed.

At long last, we have created the I've Placed My Mind Into A Magical Land And Forgotten Where I Keep My Corporal Body from the classic fantasy novel "Don't Place Your Mind Into A Magical Land And Forgot Where You Keep Your Corporal Body."

Apparently one of the dangers of being Too Online is forgetting that being Too Online is a luxury supported by the real world having shit like "surplus energy" and "fertilizer."

It's simple. Just announce the war is over every morning before the stock market opens. Then right after it closes double down with threats of an even bigger, longer war.

Just do this every day forever. The war and the market siloed off in two alternating realities that never meet.

My press release suggesting the Supreme Leader is a robot is raising a lot of questions already answered by my press release.

The only way in which the "Donald Trump is antiwar" is true is that Donald Trump is a rapist. He promised the Joe Rogans of the world that we wouldn't do *wars,* but that we'd instead violate other countries and take what we wanted by force. That's why they love him, and that's why they support him.

Re the Scientific Freedom lecture series that Bhattacharya created at NIH:

It’s a strategy to create bias by artificial selection. Choose people with fringe views and boost them, while insisting on equal time. The 1970s Powell memo laid out this strategy as a way for oligarchy to attack academia.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: the Trump Administration is using classified briefings as an excuse to hide the truth from you.

They don't have a plan for this war.

They don't have a plan to lower your costs.

They just don't want to admit it publicly.

It's all three, but there's also something else: weak, atrophied brains.

Typos are one thing but elite messages go beyond that, they show an inability to communicate beyond mere urges and feelings, and the reason they can't communicate beyond those is because they can't think through those.

πŸ‘€ ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.

The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

Being an ACIP member used to mean you were at the top of your field. Now the bare minimum is "this shitty paper didn't actually get retracted but everyone can see it's awful."

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.

So how long till Trump orders a carrier into the straits against all advice because line must go up?

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

the 1970s oil embargo & resulting stagflation was felt to discredit the left on economics for two generations

& this is a million times stupider & more avoidable than that

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
