For the umpteenth time: Quit trying to analyze Trump. Quit trying to figure out why he says and does the things he says and does. I'm so fucking sick of listening to some panel on CNN try to discuss his latest bizarre pronouncement like he's some normal human being. Stop that. This isn't complicated- He's not a normal human being. He's a sociopath. He lies as he breathes. He's an idiot. He's a Russian asset. He gets off on being cruel. He's never been held accountable for anything he's done his entire life. He's a horrible person. And he's the biggest fucking crybaby who's ever lived. That's it.

A concrete example of Brandolini's Law It's far easier to start a fire (spew falsehoods) than it is to extinguish it (debunk) sketchplanations.com/the-bs-asymm... @sketchplanations.bsky.social
Also known as Brandolini’s Law, this is the simple observation  that it’s far easier to produce and spread BS, misinformation and nonsense than it is to refute it.

In fact, the iSchool at University of Washington launched a course on Calling Bullshit  with the first class being booked up within one-minute of registration. The professors, Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West have since written a book: Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World .

Phil Williamson in Nature also wrote a nice article emphasizing that we should take the time and effort to correct misinformation  where we can. In it, he proposed the idea that “The global scientific community could…set up its own, moderated, rating system for websites that claim to report on science. We could call it the Scientific Honesty and Integrity Tracker, and give online nonsense the SHAIT rating it deserves.”

Either way, the stakes remind me of a question I once asked Graham on a long flight over Central Asia. At what point in his career, I wondered, had he gathered the boldness to assert himself so overtly in foreign policy?

"When I was first elected to the House," he recalled, "I looked for the they. They who run things. They who know how things really work. They who know what they are doing. But I couldn't find the they." After that, he went on, "I went to the Senate. But there was still no they. And then I started to get invited to the White House, and to closed-door briefings, and to meetings with top officials. No they." "What I finally realized," he concluded, "is that there is no they. There is only we, and we usually don't know what the fuck we're doing."

This is a 6-panel Cyanide and Happiness comic titled "Turn Around!".

It features two characters in a car where one, looking at a map, tries to get the driver to turn around.

The driver responds by singing Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler.

The comic ends with the car driving off a cliff.

The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter 3h

BREAKING: The Pentagon reveals Trump paused the strikes on Iran not for negotiations as he claimed, but because Iran is becoming rapidly more effective at tracking US air operations, improving its air defenses and becoming too strong at detecting signs of a surprise attack, per NYT.

Iran has used the ceasefire to successfully dig out all bombed ballistic missile sites, making them fully operational again. Iran also moved a large number of new mobile launchers across the entire country and adjusted tactics for any resumption of strikes, per a US military official.

Iranian commanders studied US fighter jet and bomber flight patterns with close Russian and Chinese help. The recent downing of an F-15E and groundfire striking an F-35 revealed American flight tactics had become "too predictable."

As the Trump administration sought to reassure Americans this week that a hantavirus outbreak posed little risk to the public, Dr. Brian Christine, one of the top public health officials in charge of infectious disease policy, stood before reporters in Nebraska promising a response "grounded in science" and "grounded in transparency."

Before he joined the Trump administration last year, Christine was an Alabama-based urologist who specialized in penile implants. He has little public health experience and a history of far-right commentary and promoting conspiracy theories. He's said the Covid pandemic led t wider government plot to control people, compared the Biden administration to Nazi Germany and suggested the Covid vaccine had little effect in stopping the pandemic.

Let's be honest about who is doing this,

too. This isn't abstract conservatism, and it isn't "polarization." It's an alliance between oligarchic money and extremist movements, and it isn't particularly subtle. The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law,

and the country becomes a holding pen.

Lauren @cabsav456

The Thomas Massie primary is truly insane. We are looking at the most expensive U.S. House primary in history, with spending pushing toward $35 million.

Massie's opponent, Ed Gallrein, has raised just $2 million on his own. The rest of the money, over $14 million, is coming from outside Super PACs who desperately want Massie gone.

On top of that, Pete Hegseth is being deployed to Kentucky to campaign against him. Stephen Miller & Con Inc. have been on massive Twitter tirades attacking him. And there was a highly coordinated smear campaign of unfounded allegations launched this week by Con Inc. influencers.

When the establishment is willing to spend $35M+ and go to these lengths to take one man down, it really makes you wonder why.

Whether you like Massie or not, this election will determine whether or not we as voters actually have a voice anymore. If outside special-interest money can successfully buy seat and sway an election like this, we have a serious, serious problem.
