No greater key to happiness than being identified with the impervious, invulnerable, supes reliable, immortal body as many sages have noted.

β€œCan I give your dog a treat?”

β€œWhats in it?”

β€œChicken.”

β€œOh she doesnt do well with poultry.”

β€œOh its fine. Thereβ€˜s only 3 ingredients.”

β€œRight? And the first one is chicken. Like she WILL eat it. And then sheβ€˜ll puke, so…”

Like, hello? The fuck?

I wasn't placing blame. Just offering a connection between its process and its outcome.

I wasn't suggesting they were somehow wrong for keeping it a secret.

This is wrong on so many levels, not least of which is imagination is multi-sensory. Not everyone visualizes when they imagine. Some have kinesthetic imagination; they feel it. But also, 1/3 of people "aren't human" is like saying 1/3 of trees aren't trees. Definitionally, human is what humans are.

Maybe part of the reason that the myth about the single income persists is, in fact, because the grandfathers were kept from knowing.

The obvious example here is Elon Musk. Musk is an explicitly white nationalist political force now, aligned with Republicans, but implementing his politics by supporting the far right in at least 18 countries around the world. Within the US, he was Trump’s largest donor during the 2024 campaign, and used his position in government to dismantle parts of government that progressives have championed, often in legally questionable ways.

The U.S. government has developed a multi-layered dependence on Musk’s companies, particularly in aerospace, national security, and digital infrastructure. If it wants to send astronauts to space, or bring them home, it increasingly must turn to Musk. The DOD depends upon Musk for both Starlink for internet service, and for military-use satellites. Grok has been embedded into government, including the Pentagon. Most recently, HHS is sending users to Grok as part of its Make America Healthy Again campaign.

A third sovereignty concern: your contractor is your ideological enemy, deeply embedded in government, with more resources than many nation states, and willing to use his power to undermine your policy goals. I don't think Dems have thought through if and how they would dislodge such contractors.

She keeps shuffling around in the crate, I think trying to kick the towel out. I was just trying to make it more comfortable for you!

Then she kept intermittently puking for another hour, and I've run out of clean dog beds. So I put a towel in there cuz it's all I have at this point. But now she is seemingly ok? And annoyed about the towel?

DPT is when you lose an hour of sleep when tour dog pukes at 5 am.

"I think the current crisis absolutely vindicates China's push to electrify everything, notably road transport... wouldn't be surprised we see China push to be even bigger & bolder to transition to clean energy & electrify everything" Erica Downes from Colombia CGEP on BBG TV just now.

This was always going to be how the most powerful industry to ever exist on the face of the Earth would make itself obsolete. With a great war.

While Irans use of the energy weapon is probably going to work it will degrade it through the policy response elsewhere: absolutely breakneck decarbonisation. A bit like US sanctions.
