    Hmm, yeah, why isn't it just a laptop?

  6. ICE is a piss bucket full of losers (my summary)

    "They struck data gold when they found that Argentina kept meticulous records of their military officers throughout the past century, including graduation ranks, promotions and retirements. This allowed them to track officers who served during the country’s “Dirty War” from 1974 to 1983, during which time the military junta hunted down and murdered or “disappeared” leftists. What the researchers found was that officers who performed poorly were pushed into early retirement, but were offered a last ditch effort to save their careers: they could join Battalion 601, who performed the bulk of the “secret police” work, torturing and murdering dissidents. Those who joined Battalion 601 were able to rejoin the regular army, where they enjoyed promotions above those who had performed better than them and therefore stayed in the regular service."

  11. this from @rebeccawatson is worth a listen
    youtube.com/watch?v=6pQxb_lAncM

    i’ve paid too little attention to reporting and commentary on Platner in the past year, i now think (though i’m not a follower of his advocates, media figures like those Watson is critical of here, and am also generally not a reader of publications they deplore, e.g. the NYT)

  28. "Even the average red-blooded flag-waving Fox News viewer knows that this is Israel’s war, that Iran posed no threat to Americans, and that all of our lives are about to get worse because of it. “Go die in a desert because Zionists paid a pedophile to start an unnecessary war” isn’t exactly the stuff of Patton. Why not tell the poor saps that they’re going on a Holy crusade to put down the infidels and hasten the return of Jesus Christ?"

  33. After Cristina Rad’s accusations about #LawrenceKrauss I was happy to reject him for good even though I'd enjoyed his debates on religion.

    But I never knew what to do with #RichardDawkins. Certainly people I respected in turn respected him, his work seemed quite perceptive, and his debates with theists were incisive and civil.

    But he also behaved in ways I found bizarre, and I was left just appreciating his good work but not amplifying him in any way because I didn’t know who I would have been amplifying.

    Now I do.

  40. I'm really disappointed in Adam Conover doing a paid-for review of a crypto company's product. 😑

    I've been a fan of his for years; I even went to his live show a few weeks ago.

    He didn't outright endorse it in his "review", but he's still essentially advertising for a grift.
