With this posting, I'm starting a second thread today about Trump's war against Iran. The first is here: https://toad.social/@wdlindsy/116199851860183990
"If war is the extension of politics by other means, from the perspective of the United States, this war is the extension of Trump’s demented worldview by other means, not to mention his metastasizing megalomania. It will further degrade the United States, morally, economically and geo-strategically."

"Each passing day will bring mounting death and destruction, with the likelihood of more instability, unpredictability and havoc to come.
These dangers are compounded by the reality that no president is less equipped to comprehend nor account for the consequences of his actions than the current one, nor are the feckless men he’s surrounded himself with."

"The death of the liberal order has been coming for awhile now and to watch it explode like this is both unsurprising and outrageous. There’s not a day now where I don’t think of the innocent people who have been killed as this barbarism has worsened and as the wealth and oligarchical classes continue the transfer of power over to the machines they have programmed."

"This is the real manosphere. One whose edges we can’t even see because we’re living inside it. Our world is controlled by these men, their platforms, their alliances with nation states, technology-fuelled political power which is only accelerating and gathering strength. When I coined the word 'broligarchy' it wasn’t as a cutesy pun:"

The company reportedly plans to incorporate Ukrainian drone technology, the same technology developed during Ukraine’s war with Russia."

When asked directly if he saw the war in religious terms, Hegseth basically said yes, preaching at length his own version of a militarized Christian doctrine."

"It’s pretty rich of Graham to call any other country a 'religious Nazi regime' while we have a Secretary of War Defense with white nationalist Crusades tattoos all over his body, and Graham is on the Sunday shows talking about 'marching through the world' like he’s performing 'Springtime For Hitler' from The Producers."

@wdlindsy "They’ll tell me things our own government won’t tell me." Light-in-the-Loafers Lindsey wouldn't know misinformation and propaganda if it slapped him in the face, which in this case, it probably has.

Sam Osterhout and Andra Watkins discussion how white Christian nationalists actually want the suffering we're seeing with Trump's Iran war, because "they crave chaos and death because it tells them their Bibles are coming true, even if they're the agents of that chaos and death."
And, unfortunately, we all pay a price for what they choose to believe.

As Ron Filipkowski notes, at the end of this day, it appears Trump may be throwing in the towel and declaring "victory" in Iran, as he says,
“The world respects us now more than ever before.”
Well, whatever you need to tell yourself, Donald.

@researchbuzz @hannah Lol I’m imagining chucking a five-pound toilet roll…could knock someone out cold!

@exchgr I mean, that is how you can make it produce better than average software. Given its limitations, it's very fast but an average developer at best, giving it clear success criteria is the way to make it produce reliable code. A really extensive test suite is one way to give it clear success criteria across many sessions. Static analysis is another good way to keep the machines honest.
I've come to the conclusion that accountability the model can test itself should be most of your budget.
