'We are in a race between education and oblivion" -R B Fuller
Despite having nuclear weapons and not being a party to the NPT, Israel has never threatened to use them.
Unlike Iran and most of its neighbors which threaten to destroy Israel every chance they get.
The USA is splitting. It is not about Republicans and Democrats anymore, nor is it really about Conservatives vs Liberals.
It is about the Faith-based community, versus the Reality-based one.
Personally I want to be on the side that has science and vaccines and no Invisible Friend in the Sky.
Isreal: “This is the start of a weekslong campaign”
Isreal, day 1: decapitates military, destroys air defenses
Day 2: Now able to fly with impunity, strikes military and energy targets in broad daylight
News media, day 3: “Isreal has failed to totally end all Iranian nuclear efforts!”
Guess what Trump’s Tarriffs and trade war against literally every other country are only just getting started.
The stagflation is quite possibly upon us in a matter of weeks
Illegal, maybe. But… Unjustified? Maybe the author is unaware of Isreal’s recent divulgence of Iran’s plan to sprint for a nuke while its militant religious zealots in Hamas and Hizbullah are hobbled? Or how openly the mullahs state that they will use it?
Fun fact: the Freedom From Religion Foundation is also party to the suit

“Atheists” who make themselves, or the State, a swap-in replacement for God(s) are not much different from purely religious authorities who abuse their positions. It is apparently a common kind of power-seeking Dark Trait.
The Leviathan theory of the state – the Motherland who is greater than us, who we would die for as cells die to preserve the body, and whose Exegeses come from the Great Leader/Supreme Council/President for Life.
It’s exactly the same play on faith and credulity and servility that religions use.
Bingo.
I have way more respect for ravers at Burning Man who OD on Ecstasy while dancing naked and copulating for 14 hours straight.
At least they enjoyed their completely unproductive dalliance
Atheists don’t need to disprove theists any more than they need to disprove Leprechauns. The burden of proof is on the one making the positive assertion.
$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions
['apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'gtktitlebar@velitasali.github.io']
I can’t believe apps-menu and window-list are not the default behaviors. gtktitlebar is just so I can claw back a few precious pixels of vertical screen space.
Geez Donald wouldn’t it be awesome to have kickass fighters like that on our side?!?
No cardboard, no cellotape, highest quality materials
May I introduce your barbaric uncivilized ass to the ideas of “voting” and “education”
However it divides up, I want to be on the side that has scientists and vaccines
I’d echo this. Syncthing is widely used because it Just Works in so many weird situations. So if it is Not Working, swapping out Syncthing might actually make the problem harder to solve.
It plays to his anti-intellectual base: “See? We are finally pw0ning those effete libs and putting the money into the trades.”
(You know you could put a lot of people through trade school for the cost of one big military parade, and not have to give up f’ing cancer research)
Depends on what kinds of new narratives and role models they find to latch on to. They are currently in an information bubble created largely by Russia, China, and Iran. I’d love to see a liberal democratic media machine to counter Putin’s Agency
Maybe he could start having rallies in Pennsylvania
Matbe this time everything lines up correctly
The murder-to-save-babies community is entirely faith-based
