I think that evacuating strategic bombers from an allied nation 3400 miles or so from the conflict area is probably a bad sign.

So, just to review. In roughly seven months the US has had to abandon all bases in the Middle East, flee from a British base, the petrodollar system that is the foundation for hegemony has collapsed, and we’re facing historical energy and food crises. Great work. www.cnn.com/2026/10/04/p...

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Why does the NYT have “an unwritten policy of not crediting previous reporting (the way everyone else in journalism does!)”? Does the NYT think it makes THEIR reporting somehow seem “less original” if they give credit? To me, it would strengthen—not weaken—the NYT’s reputation if they gave credit

Coffee enemas. There's always miserable coffee enemas. Former boyfriend of a former girlfriend had a rare incurable cancer, so he got sucked in to Gonzalez's bullshit clinic in New York. I suppose making cancer patients needlessly suffer forces them to believe they're doing something that works.
