My foreign policy views are simple. I think we should be the first among equals to enforce the international law we helped build. Thanks, @ezraklein.bsky.social, for having me on the show.

The general shows that throughout history American soldiers have received less and less $ for their pain and trouble, in exchange for baubles and shame. This makes war even less costly to the people who decide, and ever more costly to the soldier. Any wonder the American story of constant war?
The reader points to the following paragraph: up to and including the Spanish-American war we had a prize system, and soldiers and sailors fought for money. During the civil war they were paid bonuses, in many instances, before they went into service. The government, or states, paid as high as $1,200 for an enlistment. In the Spanish-American war they gave prize money. When we captured any vessels, the soldiers got their share - at least, they were supposed to. Then it was found that we could reduce the cost of wars by taking all the prize money and keeping it, but conscripting the soldier anyway. Then the soldiers couldn't bargain for their labor. Everyone else could bargain, but the soldier couldn't.

Classic government BS, it's the same on both sides of the Atlantic: they have no idea how to solve a problem so they make teachers do it without extra pay or training. Not to mention how much discrimination this is opening the door for share.google/MIos1RRbekBm...

Are you having fanatical thoughts about other people's crotches?
Has hating a minority group become your entire personality?
Do you obsess over other people's toilet use?
If so, you could be a danger to others - it's time to seek help.

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.

SAM ALTMAN

"You ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation, and without credit, to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed.
You are not liberating human creativity - you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft training data."

Poem sent around at work for Poetry Wednesday (a tradition of the English dept). I thought people here would appreciate.
THEY/THEM
(dedicated to Nex Benedict)

If God created night & day
& dawn, of course
& dusk
& the tangerine rosepink sunset
& the deep amethyst twilight
& the infant bright of morning

then to perceive the world in binary 
is to forgo knowledge of the divine.

image of a partial page from the novel Southern Man by Greg Iles 

"I watched in disbelief as businessmen voted for a repeat bankrupt, laborers for a boss infamous for stiffing his workers, evangelicals for a serial adulterer, women for an admitted sexual assaulter, patriots for a draft dodger who would sell his country's secrets for trivial gain, educated men for an ignoramus.  But they did so with fierce gladness in their hearts. Because what their chosen one had done was open Pandora's Box---yes, the old one, filled with ancient calamities of race hatred and rage and cruelty and bloodlust and infinite greed--- and hell them that these things were the remedy for all their grievances, that all their anger was justified, and most important: None of what ailed them was their own fault, or ever had been.

Israel is STILL committing war crimes against Palestinians, and Netanyahu’s government is conflating Israel’s illegal activities with worldwide Jewry. His government puts diaspora Jews in danger. The struggle is with the rogue state of Israel, not with Jews.
