Once again, because it apparently needs repetition: We, are social primates. On our own, dead social primates. Some form of 'socialism' then, should be second nature to us. Were it not for those of extreme privilege who deliberately confuse it with excesses it is only tangentally related to.

Hasn't been "slowing rising" for this Japanese gal. I see it as simply a matter of time, and we likely don't have as much as we imagine.

No apology necessary!!! The bishops have only helped to reveal the fact that prayer works about as well as any other form of shamanism.

I’ll say this again, Keith. You’re playing into the hands of the fascists by exploring this path. You want Vance? With the advantages of incumbency in ‘28? pca.st/episode/f67c...

Witkoff is vying for Mike Johnson on Yuki's "Needs a deer slug to the forehead" list. There are problems, however. You need to get in pretty darn close. 🤪 And it's such a target-rich environment. 😜 One could easily be distracted and end up shooting some useless tool like, say, Eric. 😂

"Don't vote for people who lie." ("At least, not who lie all the time.") 🤣 Narrator: I would note that it hasn't taken AI agents very long to learn how to lie. youtu.be/_6M38jMx118?...

Steve Witkoff: Putin is a humanitarian. Putin: Something, something, kneepads. Trump: (wrong answers only)

Ralph Nader once argued that plutonium is the most dangerous toxin on Earth, and he was wrong. But his argument sparked human testing. 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒚 testing.(!) This, is that story. Time stamped if you don't want the whole enchilada. youtu.be/4CdXQFjZsm8?...

Alternative take: The Nazis got closer to Moscow than this! And it was called (wait for it) Operation Typhoon.

Enough, already! Also, China's new anti-typhoon missiles seem to be working.

It is as pithy an epistle as I've ever read, so bountifully chocked with (real) human values as to make every laissez-faire capitalist blush as though they had had even a microsecond of empathetic thought, which turns my entire sentence, of course, into nonsense. 😂 @hazardfromharvard.bsky.social

So, in the AM hours of a Sunday I'm thinking, as one naturally does on most Sunday mornings 😉, about human violence. As is often the case, my thoughts conflict. 🙃 Narrator: She told me to tell ya that the whole of it will never fit the character limit.

Hah! I just figured it out. Trump is actually Abner Scofield, and Spy Magazine was the Office of The Recording Angel! 😂 discourse.suttacentral.net/t/letter-to-...

And just so nobody forgets. 3rd and 9 from your own 10, in the 4th quarter. Not only is the pass (miraculously) delivered (like Uber Eats), but there just aren't many humans on this planet who can catch that ball. ODUNZE!!!!

I remember being in a local pub, and watching some guys doing the Three-card monte scam on innocents. I 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 knew where the target card was from watching. But I was 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 wrong. 😂 That told me all I needed to know.

JD Vance is a bastard of a human being. Share it.

“C.D.C. has lost about 30% of its staff since last year, including many members of the rabies team, which no longer has the capacity to advise state officials after hours…The agency also temporarily suspended rabies testing this spring, a pause that lasted for months.”

On top of that, it was Odunze who recovered the Patriots' desperation onside kick with time running out. There were a lot of heroes. But you need heroes to beat good teams. Odunze was only targeted 5 times. He grabbed 4 of 'em. No TDs. Just solid, clutch, work.

Not even a single 'like'? I'm surprised. This is really important stuff, and people who follow me generally understand that.

I'm giving Rome Odunze a game ball. Luther Burden III made great catches, but it was two catches in the 4th Q that sealed it for the Bears. The catch where Williams is almost sacked at about the one, and (somehow) threads it in between a leaping defender's closing hands, and then the grab by R.O. !

Needs sharing. Needs it badly. pca.st/podcast/b995...

Who knew that supposed Christians would usher in dishonesty on such a jaw-dropping scale? Or that, once having had a taste of his first-term idiocy, people would say, "Give us more!", even 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 his Roman Catholic Supreme Court voted to make him, effectively, Caesar before his second term?

I've always been curious in some erotic way about the term "sex traffic", as much as I understand the justifiable negative meaning. C'mon. Fess up. 🤪 But nobody ever did it better than Jimi. I mean, nobody! www.youtube.com/watch?v=px5k...

Unusual seasonal weather for Tokyo today. A tremendous typhoon is working its way over Okinawa (News, right? 🤪) and will come up over Korea and the Japan Sea. But one more gush of warm and humid (29 C today, a kind of 'Indian summer'). Typhoon will likely miss Tokyo to the west, but rain on us.

Even if Wright's 'pancaking' of Brown was 'payback' for roughing the passer, Atlanta 'wins' the exchange. Not only was Wright (incorrectly IMHO) flagged for holding, the value of Williams vs (who?) Brown (/who?) cannot be overstated. And the 1st play of the game was roughing, but not called.

We continue in our efforts to build machines that will be *much smarter than we are, imagining that we will be able to control them, the lack of any solution to the alignment problem notwithstanding. Oh hubris, this be thy name!!

Well, there's a vacancy. But I'm not getting any younger. 🤣 "Christiane Amanpour announces she will leave CNN next June"

They put this header on it: "US-Ukraine relationship worsens amid Trump and Zelensky’s distrust" Both sides doggy do. I'd have rather read something like, "Immature US president continues to roil world order by siding with Russian fascists" Is @cnn.com hiring? 🤪 edition.cnn.com/2026/10/19/e...

Bush has been the ONLY president decided by the SCOTUS, a "right" that does NOT exist in Black Letter Law, anywhere. I will go to my grave saying Gore made one of the worst concessions in American history. He apparently thought that politics on the Right was not a "blood sport". What a jackass.

We must remember however, that the SCOTUS should have been burned to the ground when it said, "Stop the FL recount." It had no Constitutional or other right to say that. But Al Gore turned out to be, you know, kind of a pussy. He should have called for a mass uprising.

Fuck Trump. Even moderately educated Americans are beginning to see he's a Russian stooge. www.cnn.com/2026/10/18/e...
