To Altman: "We look to bound variables in connection with ontology not in order to know what there is, but in order to know what a given remark or doctrine, ours or someone else's, says there is; this much is quite properly a problem involving language. But what there is, is another question." Quine

The pseudo-intellectualization of planned warfare has been a "thing" for a long time (1970's). The Fourth Generation Warfare business did quite well and persists with the Flynn brothers, one of whom is now with Palantir. IF you're new to the topic, this is a wonderful article. Close to my thesis.

This early victory thing seems to be a Republican approach to increasing the Defense (Intelligence Agency's mean "War") budget.

Soooo, apparently Mr Markwannabe has a fetish for nostrils. He was fingering the nostrils of other Senate morons on a field trip to visit some other criminal. Guess they liked it.

If you are thinking of air travel, please awaken to the second and third level correlates of "shoot-from-the-hip" military aggression. There have already been incidents of bomb threats and at least one boarding of a plane with weapons drawn.

He is a drunken MacBeth... he hears the witches yet he still awaits the ghost of Banquo. But he lacks the sensitivities of MacBeth and thinks only of more and more bravado. The most fragile of fake heroes.

We had a broadband outage (for the whole area) for several hours today. Grateful that at present none of our critical things like hot water, heating, washing machine etc don't need WiFi to function.

I found one of their helmets.

Yesterday, the lambs were screaming... Hannibal Lecter suggests civility is an illusion; that savagery is the default state of humanity, highlighting the darker aspects of human nature. This reflects his belief: when people are driven by power and rage, they can become more savage than any beast.

What's Trump's plan? Super-luxury, fully-automated, servant-supported patriarchal lifestyle... with 36 holes of golf on one Huge fucking sand trap.

Sociopathic population control! Bet Trump got his tiny toy all tingly when the venture capitalists told him this part of the plan.

This is what I’ve been talking about for weeks now. There’s still a potential (read: very very small) for an off-ramp, but they aren’t sending all this hardware into the region for nothing. www.axios.com/2026/02/18/i...

Very happy to be in such great company and having contributed to this excellent volume with a chapter on ‘Studying Populist Security Narratives: An Analytical Framework’. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Duvall’s Charlie Waite Mack: I didn't raise my boys just to see 'em killed. - Charley Waite: Well you may not know this, but there's things that gnaw at a man worse than dying.”

I love how they dyed the oil blue. "Care for a swim Jared?"

"Religious leader/pastor"??? I think he means TAX EVADER

And now @niallharbison.bsky.social you've given us a moment of love on Earth. Happy journey Mac!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Always fun to see the amazing people who win. Congrats to mathematician Lauren Williams on winning a MacArther genius grant! www.macfound.org/fellows/clas...

This article is behind the curve. But I hope people get the idea. Facial recon is already widely distributed and integration with all kinds of other apps is on the way (credit cards, maps, social media, etceteras) www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

TECH & EPSTEIN Epstein was involved with the Tech cult for years. Financing study groups, conferences and some fun stuff. The GOOGLE guys also attended a few of his conferences as did numerous academic "luminaries".

Oz is showing Trump how they’re multiplying the revenue for healthcare private equity

QUESTION: How do we get from THIS natural wonder to whatever unearthly learned behavior we now live within?

Soon, people will discover the connection between Jeffrey Epstein and the Techno-cult. Genetic engineering, transhumanism and accelerated development of technologies to manage/control human life & direct its organization. Leonard Leo is a key figure. His manufacture of the current SCOTUS is key.

Let's see, do we ever learn? HERODOTUS (1400 BCE) talked about how the Alcmaeonid family bribed the Oracle of Delphi to secure their political success. But AOC reads actual books rather than relying upon Heritage Foundation propagandists to write Republican talking points.

But we absolutely MUST HAVE more massive data centers. So we can tell who is complaining about being thirsty.

John Donne, Ernest Hemingway, or Metallica... NO ONE says it better than @sarahkendzior.bsky.social "For whom the bell tolls"

"DO NO EVIL" ............. yeah, right.

DOW JONES is up 900 points. The drunks got another shipment of moonshine. www.businessinsider.com/jerome-powel...

It’s not a distraction. It’s fascism.

Washington DC ???? Will it soon be a VENTURE CAPITAL sovereign jurisdiction? Complete with full surveillance and a state police force?

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire. It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

As we watch the elected government of our nation do contortions to justify protecting rapists & child predators, everyone should understand exactly why so many are silent. Don't ask why. You're seeing why, right now. Stop ignoring the victims. ##stopsupportingabusers #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Why don't we just light money on fire and watch it burn?
