This right here
For some time I’ve been saying that the storied choice between socialism and barbarism was made exquisitely clear a good many years ago in the United States, and both major parties chose barbarism. They are obviously and consequentially different barbarisms—one had reproductive freedom, vaccines, and trans health care in it, at least for a while—and I can tell you why I have sincerely preferred one to the other. But we oughtn’t to kid ourselves. From the perspective of a world of increasingly unimaginable maldistribution of resources, cascading ecological collapse, a genocide cheered on by a putatively liberal order, both are barbarisms.

“This is all new this was never happening before” this was Kansas in 2015 www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...
Neighbors of Jim Brownback, the governor's younger brother, allege he was involved in drive-by shootings, stalking, death threats, trespassing, cattle theft and other disruptive activities. There is a belief among some that Jim Brownback received preferential treatment by law enforcement officials because of his family’s prominent status in state politics and the community of Parker.

What a little worm
“We’re living in a world where you got friends that are computers — that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” Cervino said. “They’re destroying the world for the dumbest invention I’ve ever seen in my life.” During this interaction, Schiffmann went around the corner with his head in his phone, avoiding contact and asking not to be identified to Cervino. “I’m curious what he said. Doesn’t mean I want to go talk to him,” Schiffmann said afterward.

There’s a man who has been educating himself on women’s health and every other day he posts an update on the results of his study, and he’s doing such a good job, but every video is like this and the whole series is cinema

Inbox: private credit defaults on the rise
Fitch Ratings Private Credit Default Rate (PCDR) rose to 5.5% in 2Q25 from 4.5% in 1Q25, according to its new report. Launched in August 2024, the PCDR covers about 1,200 corporate private credit issuers. It combines two components: the Privately Monitored Ratings (PMR) portfolio and the Model-based Credit Opinion (MCO) portfolio. The PMR default rate includes about 300 issuers privately rated by Fitch for the benefit of insurance companies. The MCO default rate tracks about 900 issuers in Fitch’s rated middle market CLO portfolio, where Fitch provides point-in-time credit opinions on the collateral. The MCO default rate excludes issuers already covered in the PMR default rate.

The American Council of Life Insurers has released their July 2025 financial resilience index which includes this in the survey findings
Key findings show that more than half (55%) of middle-class households are at least somewhat concerned about the risk of a serious decline in their financial situation, and one-in-five (20%) are very concerned. These figures closely reflect sentiments captured in 2024. Almost half (46%) of middle-class households also report they are not confident they will be able to build sufficient retirement savings. And 40% are not confident they will be financially protected in the event of a major medical expense, the need for long-term care or the unexpected death of an income-earner.

Have been looking through texts from the 1930s for no particular reason & maybe I should start taking the right salt to fix my humors. “The people of the world never needed the alkaline of Libra salt more than they do at the present time, while wars and rumors of wars strut upon the stage of life.”
THE ZODIAC AND THE SALTS OF SALVATION LIBRA: THE LOINS SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 23. This alkaline cell-salt is made from bone ash or by neutral- izing orthophosphoric acid with carbonate of sodium. Libra is a Latin word, meaning scales or balance. Sodium, or Natrium phosphate holds the balance between acids and the normal fluids of the human body. Acid is organic and can be chemically split into two or more elements, thus destroying the formula that makes the chemical rate of motion called acid. A certain amount of acid is always present in the blood, nerve, stomach and liver fluids. The apparent excess of acid is always due to a deficiency in the alkaline Libra salt. Acid, in alchemical lore, is represented as Satan (Saturn), while sodium phosphate symbols Christ (Neptune). An ab- sence of the Christ principle gives license to Satan to run riot in the Holy Temple. The advent of Christ drives the evil out with a whip of thongs. References to the temple in the figura- tive language of the Bible and New Testament always symbol the human organism. "Know ye not that your bodies are the Temple of the Living God?" Solomon's temple is an allegory of the physical body of man and woman. Soul-of-man's-temple-the house, church, Beth or temple made without sound of "saw or hammer." Hate, envy, criticism, jealousy, competition, selfishness, war, suicide and murder are largely caused by acid conditions of the blood, producing changes by chemical poisons and irritation of the brain cells, the keys upon which the soul plays "Divine harmonies" or plays "fantastic tricks before high heaven," according to the arrangement of chemical molecules in the wondrous laboratory of the soul. Sapproved Without a proper balance of the Venus salt, the agent of peace and love, man is fit for "treason, strategems and spils." The people of the world never needed the alkaline of Libra salt more than they do at the present time, while wars and rumors of wars strut upon the stage of life.

So we’re going to embed more rent seeking, more disease risk, less readiness and expand to operations over multiple continents- right, sure, obviously
The changes are part of the Army’s force shift from isolated counter-terrorism operations to the Pentagon’s plan to fight larger wars that are spread out over multiple continents.
