'Posturing (Flaming Wreckage)' is one of many things that brought what would eventually be known as the Rule of Cool people and the Gamist camp together for the Feat Treaty, ratified by most game systems during a gap in my attention to the hobby.

It's pretty clear we owe reparations because we institutionized poverty.
In 1866, one year after the 13 Amendment was ratified (ended slavery), Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina began to lease out convicts for labor (peonage).

Imagine if the Constitution was ratified in 1815 instead of 1788
This Day in Labor History: October 28, 1793. Eli Whitney submitted a patent for his invention known as the cotton gin. Let's talk about the massive transformation this caused for labor, north and south.

Sovereign states make an independent decision to join NATO and are ratified by all the existing members on a sovereign state basis. Are you saying the greens would veto NATO membership for future applicants? Would a Green government withdraw from NATO?

I think it will take a cataclysmic event to change these things. My state of Alabama would never have ratified the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments had there not been a civil war and had the membership of the Legislature approved by Yankees.

Be very aware everyone. While this regime + oligarchs scream freedom of speech, they actively censor that by buying up major media outlets/social media platforms.
They also scream freedom of religion by promoting Islamophobia & are refusing communion to detainees in ICE centers by priests. #resist

Indie Dev Tip of the Day: playtesting isn't just about finding bugs. You don't know if your game is good until many people have ratified it. Until it consistently lands for large numbers of your testers - and don't forget to include new ones every time.

🔃 {𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿} My notes on the interview (or ❝What can I say🙄❔…❞) ⤵
![deportations and rejected key legal theories. The ❝prison-emptying❞ narrative lacks substantiation. ([The Washington Post]1)
Insurrection Act: ❝no judge can even challenge you.❞
Findings: Misleading. Courts have reviewed emergency uses of force and restraints on governors; deference is not impunity. Sterling v. Constantin limits unchecked executive claims; Insurrection Act invocations remain subject to judicial review.
Inflation ❝at 2%… groceries down.❞
Findings: CPI inflation in Sept. 2025 ran ~3.2% year-over-year; food prices were mixed, with some categories down from prior peaks, others elevated. ❝No inflation❞/❝groceries down❞ over-generalizes.
Rare-Earths ❝90% from China❞ and U.S. self-sufficiency in 1-2 years
Findings: China still dominates processing (≈90% in recent years), but rapid U.S. self-sufficiency within 1-2 years is implausible given permitting, refining capacity, and market lead times. Partnerships (e.g., with Australia/Japan) are real but won’t flip supply that fast.
Chips ❝40-50% of the market❞ in two years
Findings: The U.S. manufactured ~12% of global chips circa 2024; big fabs (TSMC/Intel) in Arizona/Ohio have staged ramps into 2026-2028. A jump to 40-50% by 2027 contradicts industry baselines and build timelines. ([Reuters]2)
NVIDIA exports to China
Findings: The administration has continued restricting top AI chips to China; NVIDIA created lower-spec variants to comply. ❝We won’t let anybody have the most advanced❞ aligns with policy, but the line between ❝advanced❞ and ❝allowable❞ shifts with rule updates. ([New York Post]3)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wnhlwfb44kfyi4gb6yc2tvbz/bafkreihkmqh7e7qssq6qzxunefu2mmx7ylpsx6elggxhehud7h4lqzk5u4@jpeg)
![Implications (Worrying Utterances → What They Reveal)
Executive maximalism: Treating tariffs as a universal cudgel (foreign and domestic) plus an unchecked Insurrection Act posture signals a theory of presidency with minimal external constraints.
Escalatory signalling: Casual talk of nuclear testing and secrecy on Taiwan policy ups miscalculation risk.
Scapegoating to justify force: Inaccurate crime/border claims are being used to rationalize militarized domestic responses and mass removals. Courts are already pushing back. ([The Washington Post]1)
Conflict-of-interest optics: The C.Z. pardon amid family crypto ventures undermines public-integrity norms even absent a proven quid pro quo.
What Would Change this Assessment
Verified evidence of Russian/Chinese explosive nuclear tests;
CBP data showing sustained near-zero encounters;
A SCOTUS ruling clearly immunizing Insurrection Act deployments from review;
Transparent pardons office memos documenting recusal/ethics firewalls on crypto matters.
Bottom Line
The transcript reads as a blueprint for concentrated executive power —tariffs as a catch-all weapon, nuclear brinkmanship as leverage, and domestic military talk normalized— backstopped by dubious stats. The through-line is authority first, verification later. ([The Washington Post]1)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wnhlwfb44kfyi4gb6yc2tvbz/bafkreigeaceywx2d6zechczhimhoamtze6qv7myidm76boazqqst5mmtva@jpeg)

Can Trump change this??
To protect against over-concentration of power, the Republicans had proposed the amendment limiting the election to two times.
To amend it again, the proposal would require an approval by two-thirds of Congress and to be ratified by three-quarters of states...
