These are beneficial intellectual capabilities that we haven't had before. Maybe we need a new word to describe them. 001

npu602.bsky.social @npu602.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Has anyone mentioned in the comments herr the option of seizing Kharg Island? 2,500 marines is probably enough to do that. Not a great idea, but doubling down on bad ideas seems the order of the day. 142

If anyone could ever write an accurate history of January 6th and its aftermath it would be Marcy Wheeler. She's one of the best journalists of the modern era. 110

npu602.bsky.social @npu602.bsky.social · 24/07/2025My point is simply that it's not "ordinary rich guy sleaze". There's simply way, way, way too much unexplained money involved. There were around 2,000 billionaires worldwide in 2019; it's an unreasonable amount of unexplained money. Here's a non-paywall link: archive.is/UvMZAarchive.is 020
