People don't need to have more intelligence. We do a shit job of making use of the intelligence we have; we'd just fuck it up worse if we were smarter.

No, that's Shoggoth. Shibboleth is that actress from Moonlighting.
...I take it "Shibboleth" is not one of the Daedric gods, or those goop monsters from At The Mountains Of Madness?

The old domestic political (and probably international) order is dead and gone, and anyone not incorporating this as his or her first principle has failed the most basic epistemic test of the era.

I've said this before, but I think one of the biggest issues of the Great Recession is it completely memory holed the 2001/2002 recession. Elder Millennials/Xennials lived through TWO recessions in rapid succession at a key career point. People had job contracts pulled. Tech collapsed.

I have, many times in my life, wished a president would say words like this.
And the monkey's paw curled.
"With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that."

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

yeah. Super not-thrilled about this. I blocked, btw, the two names he called out for their "special" bigotry... if I learn you were part of the howler monkey pack that drove him off, I'll block you too.

There comes a point where you realize that the cowards trying to oppress you are scared of you, and it is enormously empowering to realize, even as you understand that the combination of fear and power is still dangerous
The rest of it is even funnier

The original bullshit image is hilarious, not just because there aren't any fucking penguins in Greenland, but also because shitler walks exactly like a penguin, with the same length of leg and same shape of feet.
But who knew, from the first image, what a hero the penguin was?

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

They watched Israel do this with every Palestinian they killed for two years and so they never imagined it wouldn't work
… Furthermore, according to two other sources with knowledge of the situation, top officials in the Trump White House reminded their federal colleagues in and outside the West Wing that Pretti should be referred to as a “terrorist” in written statements and public messaging, no matter his background
