There’s a reason narcissists don’t learn from mistakes and that’s because they never get past the first step, which is admitting that they made one. It’s always an assistant’s fault, an adviser’s fault, a lawyer’s fault. Ask them to account for a mistake any other way and they’ll say, “What mistake?”
Robert Hogan (b. 1937) American psychologist

Seeing a lot of #deflection about the #genAI #slopware in #FLOSS from #RedHat-adjacent profiles these days.

The question now:
Will the average #MAGA supporter, who opposes American military #interventionism as a core belief, now fall in line behind #Trump, or notice how they are idiot victims of a confidence game?
When MAGA fused with #Qanon in disgust with elite #pedophile rings, was that genuine? Or was it an "accuse the other side of that which you are guilty" #Goebbels trick?
Do #zombies grow brains?
Was it all a lying game of #deflection from their own malice?

@MatWright he's doing it because he knows the armed forces has an unfortunate habit of harbouring alt-right/neo-nazi worshippers.

A solution to mitigate low #deflection efficiency is to apply multiple low-energy impactors rather than a single high-energy impactor 💥. A lower kinetic energy impactor results in a smaller crater 🕳️ that is less affected by global curvature, increasing momentum transfer efficiency https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-56010-w

'It takes a critical eye to understand how reporting can be used to frame events, especially in the Middle East. As most pieces of journalism don’t receive as much scrutiny as “Screams Without Words,” it is our hope that the detailed analysis here offers the reader some tools they can apply to any media they consume.'

After being forced to listed to what can only be described as testimony from Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL), the #PamBondi hearing is finally adjourned, & I don’t have to listen to this crap anymore.
To summarize: zero answers, buckets of bullshit.

The #FBI made an audio recording of the Sept 2024 meeting with #TomHoman, as part of an investigation which #Trump #DOJ & #FBI officials closed earlier this year. A White House propagandist denied Homan took the money, & Homan has denied criminal wrongdoing.
“Clearly you’re a failed lawyer,” #PamBondi yelled over #AdamSchiff as he was entering documents into the official hearing record.

lol Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) just said to #PamBondi, “I have noticed that when my colleagues ask you a question you come up with something in their background, so I’m looking forward to my turn.”

"Humanity" Didn’t Cause the Climate Crisis, Capitalism Did
https://substack.com/inbox/post/169784090
Enough of this guilt-ridden nonsense that blames "humanity" for the climate crisis… As if the Indigenous communities who lived in balance with the land for millennia bear the same guilt as ExxonMobil’s board of directors…

"He is alleging that Kamala Harris spent campaign money on celebrity endorsements – even if a previous investigation has found this claim to be false.
In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump has demanded that Beyoncé (and other celebrities) be prosecuted for campaigning for Harris during the 2024 presidential election.
Apparently still bruised from his lack of A-list talent support during the election, Trump wrote:
(. . .)
He continued:
(. . .)
'They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.'''
Regarding Trump’s claim, it is true that Harris’ team spent funds on rallies and events, which featured celebrity endorsers like Beyoncé, Oprah and Lady Gaga.
However, the publicly shared financial records from the 2024 presidential campaign show that those expenses went toward production costs and staff, not to the celebrities themselves.
This was subsequently confirmed by a New York Times investigation published in November 2024.
(. . .)
This year, Trump also called for a 'major investigation' into Bruce Springsteen after the music legend made several remarks criticising Trump at his Manchester show earlier this year.
Trump alleged that Springsteen was paid by Kamala Harris for his 'POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT' (posted online on Truth Social in all caps, naturally).
(. . .)
He carried on, escalating things:
(. . .)
This was followed up by a bizarre back and forth, in which Trump shared a fake clip on social media of him attacking The Boss with a golf ball.
(. . .)
Numerous musicians came to Springsteen’s defence, including Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and veteran rocker Neil Young.
(. . .)
Elsewhere, South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker responded to the White House’s reaction to their latest episode which mocked Trump, showing him in bed with Satan and depicting him as having a micro-penis. This led Parker to respond at Comic-Con International, with his trademark deadpan style: 'We’re terribly sorry.'
They weren’t."

1. historical suffering in #syria is due to the #west
2. but also, syria is going to start suffering *now*!?
#syrian suffering... begins?! 🤦
of course, #assad's brutality, and his decades as a #russia/ #iran proxy, just *poof*, utterly evaporates in their minds
