“Decommodify food” lmao no please do not do that i like to be confident there will be food available in my local grocery store every day.
LemonCurb@lemoncurdmatcha.bsky.social · 2w agoWell for one large parts of market economics would be obsolete as we decommodify things like housing and food. The profit motive would not be the driving factor of economic thought.
This podcast really feels like peak early 2000’s pre-aliens history channel. Dan Carlin is in it!
Trojan War OSINT Account@grayathena.bsky.social · 4w agoReally the platonic ideal of a text from your middle aged father
Theres a lesson to be learned here. Don’t be so fucking lazy to push up bad people because you think the surveys polling local political conditions indicate the likelihood of blah blah blah. Look away from the god damned spreadsheets and find the GOOD AND DECENT people.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them
Escalate to deescalate. Bomb poland, provoke a NATO response. Deploy a tactical nuclear weapon on a Ukranian military target, claiming NATO aggression Open negotiations with NATO and Ukr to force Ukraine to make concessions or the next nuke hits a population center. It wont work
Sharon 🪳🌹@sharonk.bsky.social · last mo.i get why people think this but the Russians are already bogged down with a post-Soviet military in Ukraine - do we really think the Russians are delusional enough to think that expanding the war to Poland would work out well?
“Take the gloves off” motherfucker the gloves are there to PROTECT YOUR HANDS.
Robert Borden Stan Account@bordenstan.bsky.social · last mo.Hegseth would have absolutely loved fighting in Iraq like it was, say, Chechnya, with filtration camps and collective punishment of villages, or trying to emulate the USSR in Afghanistan by destroying necessities of life to drive people down into the lowlands where maintaining security was easier.
This is actually probably the future of AI, the SaaS model is way too fucking expensive once these companies need to start making revenue, eventually somebody is going to publish something powerful and open source to create and deploy models to on-prem hardware.
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · last mo.So when somebody asks me, "How many models should be there?" I will say, "As many models as firms in the world" - Satya Nadella — Post divorce with OpenAI, it’s funny to see Satya doing press tours arguing against frontier models. It makes sense as Azure’s business needs AI models to be a commodity
I don’t think this is a fair comparison. Yes, a TLAM has longer range/payload than something like the FP-1 drone. The US can produce ~600 TLAMs a year at maximum theoretical production. Fire Point is producing ~100 FP-1s per DAY. That volume of precision fire is genuinely new and game changing!
Hoosier Homer is reading Crucible of War by Fred Anderson@hoosierhomer.bsky.social · last mo.as well, I remain convinced (by the words of intelligent folks) that "attribable" drones are a compromise. if Ukraine could, they'd use BONE's or tomahawks to turn their targets into rubble. they don't have that option and instead are compromising to find ways they can strike the enemy!
RFK doesn’t actually think its dangerous, he thinks people weak enough to contract HPV deserve it. These are evil men.
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 2mo agoRFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”. A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. Significant reductions in older age groups were observed as well, though the latter have lower vaccination coverage.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoBen Shapiro: "This MOU appears to be a disaster that does not achieve any of the signal goals that were set by the administration at the beginning ... in my opinion the vice president, the chief negotiator, has not well served the president"
Not a treaty, needs a treaty in 60 days, but end hostilities. Including Israel/Lebanon front US lifts blockade, Iran opens Hormuz US pays $300b to Iran US lifts all Iran sanctions Iran says “no nukes, promise” but Enriched Uranium stays US releases frozen Iranian assets Total strategic defeat.
George Pearkes@peark.es · 2mo agoSince I haven't seen a post with all of it screenshotted and alt-texted in one place, here's the Iran MOU as hudson.org Adjunct Fellow Josh Block is reporting it on Twitter.
NATO exists because “why should I care I got mine” will doom free people to subjugation. The UK needs to be armed because the UK is a part of the bulwark against the imperial ambitions of authoritarian nuclear powers.
I Am Damo Godzuki@b11ckchps.bsky.social · 2mo agoI simply do not care if defence has been systematically hollowed, because I do not believe that anyone intends to invade the UK, because that is a ridiculous suggestion.

You’re so right, we should just have congress roll over and do nothing and let the man get what he wants from us, he’ll be more gentle if we don’t struggle.
MrMky@mrmky.bsky.social · 2mo agoSo now he’s going to war even more illegally? I’m starting to feel like this is the distraction. Who is going to force him to comply? Who is going to force the generals to stop? Does this even change anything? Sorry, just really tired of all the winning.
The United States of America is the greatest country on earth because it is dedicated to universal rights of man, freedom and liberty for all, and justice administered by the people righteously. It has been at war with slavers, segregationists, and nazis for 250 years. Keep fighting.
Jared Yates Sexton@jysexton.bsky.social · 2mo ago“The Left needs to rediscover its patriotism” is corporate centrist speak for abandon any critique of white supremacist, patriarchal, colonist capitalism and embrace liberal mythologies that run cover for authoritarian exploitation here and around the world. In other words, stop being leftists.
Bunch of people do not understand texas culture enough to recognize “hes a vegan” to mean “hes not one of us, he’s not a real texan” You have to respond to that attack to make people comfortable enough to leave their repub bubble and cross the aisle.
James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social · 2mo agoKen Paxton is throwing everything he has at us. He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan! I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.
So this is actually an interesting conversation. God is both sexually male (Jesus was “fully man and fully god”), gender masc (God the Father uses masc pronouns), and also agender/asex (The holy spirit is not gendered) So its weird!
Kevin Morris@kevintmorris.bsky.social · 2mo ago*whispers* The idea that God is GENDERED is actually the really creepy position to take.
ONE OF THE CITIES IN STRANGER THAN HEAVEN, A GAME SET DURING AND AFTER WW2 IN JAPAN, IS FUCKING HIROSHIMA????
Eugh, you freaks, you will never be a fighter even if you get an F designation, you were born a bomber and will die a bomber. When an archivist finds your specifications in 3000 years, they will say “this is the blueprint of a stealth bomber”

2015 I was buying guns and drinking hard, and had a plan on how I was going to kill myself. If you have a plan to kill yourself you are at the highest risk, please talk to somebody you trust.

Fashion magazine body dysmorphia hit the frat community like smallpox hit the new world, those dudes just didn’t have the immune system built up by women in 2002.
ae@aelkus.bsky.social · 3mo agowe don’t really need to report on/talking about this using dumb incel culture terminology. we can just call it “male body dysmorphia” because that’s what it actually is
