This so confuses me. Expensive weddings are *the* definition of "costly signaling': showing you're so rich you can set a mountain of your own cash alight with a big smile in your face. Getting someone else to pay for a wedding you (supposedly) can easily afford is a nouveau-rich trailer-trash move.

When I heard of this a year ago (when 12 members of the South African National Defence Force were arraigned for this cop killing) I thought, "That's concerning." The new details are horrifying. SANDF is saying they don't answer to the courts. And we know where this leads. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is a response that has nothing to do with the law, nothing to do with the case, nothing to do with the arguments, and nothing to do with the decision. Aside from all of that, thanks for sharing, Josh.

According to the judge, if I post something online, it's public (and subject to disclosure.) If the platform deletes my post, it's still public (and subject to disclosure.) But if I delete my own post, it's now private and not subject to disclosure. Nope. This reasoning isn't open to abuse at all.

BBC World Service a moment ago: "The shaky ceasefire between Washington and Iran took another hit today." I get it. The White House thinks "ceasefire" means there's no need for war powers authorization. Or maybe it's to placate Trump. No one buys the argument. World press doesn't need to repeat it.

"It's worth remembering that while our ceasefire with Iran began only 52 days ago, America's ceasefire with communist forces in Vietnam lasted over two decades and involved secret ceasefires in Cambodia and Laos due to disputed traffic on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. 60 Minutes will be back after this."

FFS. I'm getting irritated by this shit.

Never forget that wherever "The Algorithm" exists it will feed you a steady diet of content that is topical, reinforces your sense of fear and anxiety and aligns with your beliefs. And right now the stupidest, laziest people on earth are saying, "OMG LOOK HERE!!" I mean, check out that fucking map!!

YouTube video thumbnail with a map that incorrectly labels Saudi Arabia as "UAE", the United Arab Emirates as "OMAN" and the coast of Oman as "STRAIT OF HORMUZ". It does correctly identify "IRAN".

How it started. How it's going. *Seven* God damned days later.

BBC headline and lede from seven days ago: "Trump accuses Starmer of seeking to 'join wars after we've already won.' US President Donald Trump has told the UK he does not need its aircraft carriers and accused Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of seeking to "join wars after we've already won", as the US and Israel continue to launch strikes on Iran. In a social media post, Trump said the UK was "giving serious thought" to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East, before saying the US does not "need them". Downing Street has not responded.

BBC headline and text in "Live Update" today. "Trump: Countries receiving oil through Strait of Hormuz must 'take care' of passage." "Donald Trump has posted on social media for a second time in the last few hours about the Strait of Hormuz -- the oil shipping channel through which 20% of the world's oil passes. Earlier, he called on a host of nations -- including the UK, France and China -- to join the US in sending warships to help secure the passage after threats from Iran to block it."

Ads with AI presenters still have them do the same, stupid, vacant hand gestures we humans do. I get it. They're trained on videos where we hold the same imaginary football again and again because we're told to "do something with our hands." I just expected something more coherent and articulate.
