Is there a word that describes the paradox of creating a society that operates well enough to make it safe to be unserious and stupid to a degree that endangers the society?

If only there was some kind of defensive immune response our society could have against this toxic infection called RFK.

Democrats should obstruct this in every way possible. Shut it down. Get on every media channel, 24/7, constantly blaming Republicans. Of course, they won’t because they are spineless wimps. Prove me wrong.

I’ve heard that National Parks have been unable to buy supplies like toilet paper because of this.

Safety is relative. A nuclear capacity doesn’t make them safe, especially in a world dominated by an unhinged US. But, it does make them vastly safer than not having it by raising the potential cost of any proactive strike against them. Direct military implications for the US are minimal. But that’s not the case for US clients and US interests in the region.

What US policy has demonstrated is that US belligerence is a constant, regardless of whether Iran enters treaties or not, and regardless of whether Iran pursues nukes or not. Under those conditions, having nukes is pragmatic.

Peanut farm.

That might be the most titan-looking expression that I’ve ever seen in a photo of a human.

At this point, why would they ever trust the US to abide by any treaty agreement? We have created the conditions in which their safest course is to race to nuclear capability as fast as possible. As far as I can tell, the only reason they might want to negotiate some kind of agreement with the US, is as a stalling tactic to facilitate their nuclear program.

Sounds like a prisoners’ dilemma scenario.

Alexis Ohanian is an untrustworthy piece of shit because he’s a crypto scam promoter.

Not sure why any developer who isn’t a self-loathing masochist would work for these clowns ever again. Rose was a brittle little bitch who threw his own dev team under the bus when Digg 4 bombed. Somehow I doubt that years of fattening up while marinating in venture capital and crypto wealth have matured that shallow tea-sucking fucker in any meaningful way.

What do you call a dozen burned teslas?

A good start.

I’ll be here all week. Tip your waiter.

Well, I suppose if you’re an incredibly racist freak, and you define any Muslim with a gun as a terrorist, then — you’re still fucking wrong and just peddling the same racist, anti-historical nonsense that fascists have used to rationalize apartheid, ethnic cleansing and active genocide for decades.

For anyone interested, Hasan never did this.

This ban is such horseshit since he didn’t suggest anyone should kill Rick Scott, or generally advocate for the killing of Rick Scott. But apparently just alluding to the killing of Rick Scott is problematic on twitch. Generally, I think there should be more discussion about this whole “kill Rick Scott“ issue, although I don’t think anyone should actually kill Rick Scott.
