We started a trade war with these people because the president, who has some sort of degenerative brain disease with visible bruises on his hand's injection site that the press doesn't talk about, was bored.
On 9/11, the people of Gander stepped up. They showed the very best of Canada.

Most people who have never been in a fundamentalist cult will always have a hard time understanding how deeply fucked up any cult is and how terrifying the echo chamber is.
Cults don't just limit info, they teach their followers to reinterpret any new info as reinforcing the cult.

I think normal people have a hard time understanding the elite AI doomers for the same reason they can't comprehend Republicans, Scientologists, MAHA, &c. Normal people don't properly account for the information environment in which individuals in those groups/communities/movements live.

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now.
NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage.
Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor
when we began steel magnolias rehearsals 
i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours?
Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it!
i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.”
She's not alone. It's becoming a trend.
If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think.

One of my dear friends has been a reseller for years. In a "goes to a shit ton of Estate Sales and resels used but usable things for less than half of retail" way.
She's buying half the stuff from the recent cancelled Star Trek show.
Like, she bought an escape pod and ROLLS of uniform fabric. Ok
