*taps the deadline sign* ahem.

If “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity” is Hanlon’s Razor, what should the reverse (“Stop attributing to stupidity that which can irrefutably be attributed to malice”) be named?

Have you been drinking electrolytes and swinging your arm around periodically? I don’t know it that makes a HUGE difference but it helps me when I get vaxxed. (At the very least, it gives me a Task™ to focus on)

This is what winning capitalism looks like. Eleven people will haunt empty kingdoms while everyone else starves and burns. Congratulations, Elon, on your high score in a game no one should be playing.

Maybe I’m just a dumb-at-math artist stereotype but my understanding is that a stimulus like that would boost our economy so well that they would brag about it for decades. Except a significant chunk of that would go to medical and credit card corps. But still.

That feels haunted by vacancy. Like a new build development of McMansions.

Also, cheaper =/= better use of money. The extra money spent on animation labor goes into hundreds of salaries which pay for things like housing, food, cars, other services daily. It’s more money but significantly more economic value than giving MORE money to AI oligarchs, who hoard stagnant wealth.

😱 I fully underestimated the scale

There’s definitely an aspect of “I tried telling people he felt off but no one believed me/ everyone told me he was a good guy/ told me I was imagining things” etc. But that’s a good reason to say THAT, to call out those who dismiss warning signs, not “I always knew he was bad”.

Exactly! Very “emperor’s new clothes”.

That’s just a new nickname. It’s still technically and officially the Department of Defense. Only an act of Congress can change the name officially, which they have not done.

This! The “cis women can only be safe around other cis women” thing has NEVER made sense to me. The vast majority of the physical sexual harassment and a significant percentage of verbal sexual harassment that I have experienced has been from other cis women.
