I don’t suppose you’ve read Herman Kahn’s books on the topic?

Could not be clearer that we’re in a moment of almost universal elite rebellion against any kind of restriction or limit. You saw this shift in all the rhetoric too; Trump I was all about the little guy but everyone dropped that and started talking about grindset and being “aristocratic.”
one interesting thing is the collapse of mass support for trump before he took office. his in-person events were sparsely attended. his conventional fundraising (donations in the dollar to thousand dollar range) was more or less nonexistent.

Trump I was a grassroots phenomenon. Trump II was elite.
Republican rhetoric all week was clearly aiming to either depress turnout or inspire visible maga pushback. Neither happened and the press doesn’t seem particularly interested in exploring the implications of that.
For the end of the world, Bell Labs and Western Electric designed and built the original US air and missile defense system.

And for that same end, the nuclear command and control systems ran on Long Lines.

A lot, but maybe that's also a sign of how computers became mature. There's still a bit of a barrier to entry, though!

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

"Average American believes in freedom and democracy" factoid actually just statistical error. Average American believes in cheap consumer goods and low wages.

Thaddeus Stevens, who believed in equality of man before his creator, was an outlier, and should not have been counted.
Brave to risk that!

Democrats also live under the cult of SOF wanting Real Operators (super star politicians) with Gucci quad nods and HK469s (Best Messaging Ever) instead of what actually wins war, fires (mediating institutions) and initiative

I'm all for marginalized groups arming themselves, but my repeated (and tragic) experience teaches me that being armed doesn't provide as much protection from unprovoked sudden violence as people might think.

Nobody can walk around at full readiness and alertness during everyday life. 💔

For folks living in the United States, participating in this sort of thing is a federal crime and will land you on the radar of the US Office of Foreign Assets Control

If you don't go broke defending yourself from the federal indictment first, you'll likely go broke while you're in federal prison
I dug it out of the reposts to figure it out.

good god how stupid would someone have to be to listen to this person. Insane.
Galaxy, singular, seems too modest for Palpatine’s ego.

Police can question you and — even if you say nothing — they're allowed to testify about your "demeanor" and "body language" during questioning.

Most judges will allow this as a form of expert testimony.

That's why STFU is not enough. You need to explicitly say "I invoke my 5th amendment rights"

Bunch of fellow nerds who were in part inspired by recent ST fan lore and in part long have followed SWTC.

i think Perrin on Andor is a really interesting character because he would be read completely differently if he were a woman, despite being a character who would be a woman in almost any other media.
