I noped out during the whale murders in 2. Not for me. I hope it was Moby Dicking the whole way down.

My thesis and abandoned dissertation was on civil violence and democratic backsliding. Luckily I simply determined the US empire was distinct from the US democracy and all of the fatal indicators were normal.

It happened. It’s just a long lag. Obama could win a 3rd term and we couldn’t undo the damage this madness is baking into decisions other govs are making. 2026 feels very stagflationy. Hope to be wrong.

I say white because part of me thinks their joy at the wall/ICE is a mask for finally getting to kill Hispanic Catholics in a way that flies under the radar as just normal racism. Like they are saving the white catholic cleansing for the last supper.

I was raised in the South and can’t bother to keep up with the extended universe of evangelical lore. I just know they yearn for the day when they can finally off (white) Catholics and Mormons with the glee they celebrate the rest of their hatred.

I forget who, but one of the CEO’s mentioned people like welders, that sort of profession, that have a retirement cliff the next few years.

Perhaps there isn’t one, but they think there is one. That’s my best explanation besides the hype of not being left behind.

Getting ahead of labour shortages in certain skilled areas. If they wait it’ll be much more expensive in the future.

Simmering mad that between breakfast and the theater I won’t likely have time for a decent run tomorrow.

It’s all got to stay coiled until my Sunday lift.

Chill reminder that he did win in 2000. It’s so easily verifiable it’s used as a teaching example in statistics/econometrics classes.

Why would they care? The unbankruptable walking debt obligations some call students are set income. Sports are where you get additional value.

Because gambling is more honest and harder to rig. This is actually worse.

My spouse has a PhD in aerospace engineering / fusion energy. They are the only expert in the room they are ever in. Colleagues have to constantly interrupt guys like this to say Dr.palchez has spoken on the matter it’s time to move on.
