Telic-Alcatel Minitel 1B arrived in pieces, I've decided to take the hit and try to repair it. There's no way I'm shipping back to be destroyed and thrown away.
Wish me luck 🤞

34 years ago today western countries knew what to do when a jumped-up tinpot dictator had invaded another country.

one of the violences of the whiggish view of history as a form of uniform, telic progress towards the present is that it obscures surprising ways in which things we regard as markers of mass convenience and affluence actually reflect an overall decay in social mobility or public prosperity

Vertailun vuoksi, briteillä operaation koodinimi on yksi sana, joka ei saa paljastaa sisältöä eikä tavoitteita.

Falklandin retkikunta oli "Corporate". Persianlahden sota oli briteille operaatio "Granby", Afganistan oli "Veritas", ja Irakin sota "Telic". Tylsiä nimiä, jotka eivät paljasta mitään.

It would be good if a particular strand of punditry didn’t exaggerate the level of UK involvement by allowing use of certain bases for certain purposes.

This isnt Op Desert Storm or Op Iraqi Freedom(Telic).
Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.
Starmer:

"Our partners in the Gulf have asked us to do more to defend them... The only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles at source... The US has requested permission to use UK bases for that specific and limited defensive purpose. We have taken the decision to accept this request."

telic fallacy. Trump is no more unique than the lineage of life that created all DNA-based organisms is unique. It's more that once a figure like Trump emerged, every would-otherwise-be proto-Trump just became food for Trump
I have to say, I very strongly disagree with this. There's something unique about Trump, which is why he has no successors, no one has demonstrated an equivalent hold on the minds of so many people, and no one has exhibited similar imperviousness to consequence.
this. trump is a product of the culture war. hes no central figure to it. he is just what someone who gorges on limbaugh and fox news looks like.

Someone tell JD that the UK (our NATO allies) fought with the United States in Iraq (Operarion Telic) and Afghanistan (Operation Herrick) and is forward-deployed (again alongside US forces) in Germany, Estonia, and Poland to counter the Russian threat to a free Europe.

telicy determined by transitivity of verb.

telic: transitive verb + direct object
atelic: intransitive verb + adjunct construction

In slightly simplified terms: A telic verb describes an action that has an end.

My best friend served multiple tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan . I think he’d describe Ops Telic and Herrick as wars and I’m sure he’d love to talk Vance through his harrowing experiences. Though maybe not whilst sat on Vance’s couch .

cultures aren't more or less primitive. every group of humans has been doing whatever the hell it is they're doing for the same amount of time. unless there's some kind of telic end of the human experiment, nobody's farther ahead or behind

PKD on the threefold structure of time, where past causal forces are weakening and future telic forces are strengthening.

I prefer British Operation names. They are non-descript, usually from some obscure piece of classical history. Like the British participation in the Iraq War was "Operation Telic"

What is Telic? It means "In the process of being completed", meanwhile the US one is "Iraqi Freedom".

I'm back from a weekend where I met up with some old RAF mates to go & visit the Arboretum & pay our respects to a mate who we lost on Op Telic #wewillrememberthem

🗞️ In a new paper, forthcoming in the Journal of Social Ontology, our Sandro Guli – with co-author Luca Moretti – argues that telic power cannot be entirely separated from deontic power, and that it helps explain oppression.
Sandro Guli' & Luca Moretti, Critique of telic power - PhilPapers
Åsa Burman has recently introduced the important notion of telic power and differentiated it from deontic power in an attempt to build a bridge between ideal and non-ideal social ontology. We ...

Inacreditável!!!

Mais um aumento da taxa TELIC é um tapa em todos nós.

Pelo visto, o indicado pelo presidente LULA está saindo pior do q o BOLSONARISTA.

Pelo menos, tínhamos motivos para fazer reclamação diária da criatura.
