Active Monthly User @massey.bsky.social · 13hI think there is a plausible argument Freud invented the speedball, and not in a baseball way. The treatment for opium was pretty clearly not cocaine, and I think that was knowable at the time. This goes to his general badness. 130
Active Monthly User @massey.bsky.social · 14/10/2026As I understand it, France will nuke Russia if Russia nukes Europe, seperate and apart from whatever America and the UK do, so it seems like Russia will not actually nuke Europe for Dr Strangelove reasons. So no one should do any appeasing. 2280

Active Monthly User @massey.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Kinda fun to imagine what the world would be like in Term 2 of a Marco presidency vs term 1 of a progressive presidency - I guess in one scenario we are occupying Havana and in the other AI centers were banned from using any water whatsoever 021

Active Monthly User @massey.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Without getting Zinn about it, the Daniel Immerwahr book How to Hide an Empire was interesting on this, he came to a similar conclusion to you - that you couldn’t be a multiracial empire unless you had universal franchise, and if you have the universal franchise you probably aren’t an empire anymore 090

Active Monthly User @massey.bsky.social · 18/09/2026How much of this do you think is about the antitrust waiver. Is it something that’s been quietly important to them for a while? Or is it more like, “don’t let a good crisis go to waste? Why not use everyone being freaked out to see if we can get this reach goal cheaply?” 240
