To be clear, these are strategic assets. They are nuclear-capable heavy bombers. This isn't some special forces A-team that got exposed and had to break contact. It isn't a planned redeployment. These are strategic U.S. military assets being run off the battlefield in Europe because of Trump.

This may be the first time U.S. forces have retreated in Europe during a major conflict. Not before the Nazis. Not before the Soviets. Not before Al Qaeda. Not until the Trump administration.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

The Greens declare that Zionism, the movement of national self-determination of the Jewish people, is racism because such a state favors one ethnicity over another. Two secs later, it declares support for the national self-determination of the Palestinian people. This is stupid and antisemitic.

…

But why would you put your name and reputation behind a known pedophile to be the hero of this story, which is obviously so traumatizing. Are you being facetious?

Michael Tracey: Short answer: Epstein was insanely skilled at conflict-resolution on behalf of others. (Less so for his own legal snafus.) If you notice, he's in the above photo with Chomsky, for whom he resolved a complex dispute with Chomsky's adult children over access to his financial trust

Jessica Mortenson: Fair enough. But also, were you attempting to be provocative?

Michael Tracey: Well it's something I believe with 100% sincerity after a truly insane amount of Epstein research/ reporting. But I also realize that making such a point will be widely seen as inherently
"provocative"

People like to compare the numbers of Jews in the US population with the number of trans people; the numbers look kind of comparable but the population distribution is actually such that in most places a gentile leftist is far, FAR more likely to know a trans person than a Jew

I’m told that I’ve been “ostracized by my own community for being a genocidal freak”; conveniently, the issue that sets me aside from the “good” trans people is that I don’t support ethnic cleansing when it’s of the right people

It’s great how the thing that allows you to be most morally superior is to engage in costly signaling that drives Jewish people who don’t self-humiliate and make themselves vulnerable out of your social circles, but costs you as a gentile zilch (unless of course you have scared Jewish loved ones)

It’s pretty wild how the defining moral issue of our time is supposedly something that requires you to alienate a particular ethnic group to take the “right” stance, and that ethnic group is conveniently small enough that their population is overwhelmingly confined to a couple of US states

I'm going to be real honest here, the reason "Why Palestine Matters So Much to Queer People" is that a whole lot of people who identify as Queer are terminally fucking online and they know they will lose all their friends and be branded a Nazi (or worse, a Jew) if they don't say it matters to them.

I don’t feel like I am treating the computer “adversarially, with constant suspicion, and armored with plans and backup plans and alarms to be triggered when things go awry”; I feel like I am using a computer! And indeed I am in practice casually negligent about sandboxing on my laptop, etc.

When I think “oh, it is useful to have some rudimentary idea of what it is my friends and loved ones are experiencing!”—viz., Not This—it feels like I am being condescending! As if I were saying I had been given insight into how they live not being able to read.

'AI' is, in other words, a language in which to program computers, one unprecedented in its flexibility and power. For these people, building elaborate tooling and controlling for unexpected behavior are default modes of interaction, and no interface metaphor is natural enough to disabuse them of the notion that this is how computers must be treated: adversarially, with constant suspicion, and armored with plans and backup plans and alarms to be triggered when things go awry.
