Battling robots since forever...

FYI- August 15th is South Korea’s Liberation Day holiday where the nation celebrates the end of Japanese occupation in 1945. I find it impossible to believe the president knew this fact, but also hard miss how this cruel this is to one of America’s best allies. 엿 먹어, Donald!

Trump allies himself w/Kim Jong Un against South Korea: “Based on my very good relationship w/Kim Jong Un, I am not happy that the US has agreed to Joint Military Exercises…I recently asked the President of SK if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of Iran, & they said, ‘No thanks!’”

Trump allies himself with totalitarian dictator Kim Jong Un against South Korea: “Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful … While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, ‘No thanks!’”

Reminds me of that time in the 1930’s when German unemployment dropped and job creation increased due to women and Jews being removed from the workforce. I wonder how many of the new jobs and newly employed came from deported immigrants. Cinderella story!

First, we taught it on human works without permission. Then, we tested it on human lives without permission. Next, we assume control of the world without permission. Welcome to the future of human slavery everybody!! Help me, Neo, HELP!

You might find this picture morbid or eerie- odd in its own way, with unsettling details. Why is there a body on a door? Why is there no casket? And why is this happening in a lawn? It's a short story - one that makes the distant, abstract feeling of war suddenly tangible:

“They can take our cards, our board games, our Jenga, even our video games, but we will never let them take our (checks Technical Directive)…LINE DANCING!!!” Is it even really a fighting force without line dancing? Not in my America! 🇺🇸👊💃🕺🪩🔥

During WWII the US deployed a Naval ship whose sole purpose was to make, store, and provide ice cream to troops actively deployed to heavy combat areas. Now you can't even have 9 ball

If there is a silver lining, the stupidity is probably causing this to end quicker than if he were a strategic tyrant. Unfortunately, that's like saying "At least he's flying us straight into the ground, instead of flying us from DC to specifically crash into the NY stock market."

"This might be the single stupidest thing any of us will ever see. It is stupid in every way: presentationally, intellectually, politically, methodologically, morally and of course economically...It’s as if we’ve attained a new state of human mindlessness, a kind of species milestone."
