a friend in the Twin Cities told me that the debate about whether or not the US will fall into civil war is moot there - the war has already come to Minnesota as federal funds are choked off and the capital is invaded by the President's personal army

The crackdowns are intensifying. The Maduro regime remains in power, with Delcy RodrĂguez in command. This was never about democracy or protecting the people of Venezuela. They continue to live in danger and fear while Trump cuts deals with the regime to seize their oil.

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

In reality, Trumpâs âliberationâ of Venezuela was just like his âliberationâ of, say, LA, or Iran: he went and made noise, fucked some shit up, but, some unprovoked murders aside, the places remain as they were, more or less.

Odysseus and the other protagonists of Greek epic love to talk. They would rather tell the most elaborate lies than shut up. All the modern adaptations of Greek epic that have warriors stoically grunting out little chinese-fortune cookies of dialogue are not wrong, but they are boring.

Nearly of the US's garlic comes from China. Another quarter of it from Spain. At least it did before the trade war. It's possible some of the garlic being sold rn is the tail end of garlic that was shipped in before the tariffs started.

Ban all use of AI in academic publishing. If there's a useful aspect to it, carve it out, make it reliable, and rename it. Until then, ban it all.
