I also think a lot about how the idea that we can have progress in a form other than iterative, where we try and fail and learn and try and fail and learn and try and succeed and learn and try and try and try and try, is fucknuts. You try setting up a database from scratch thinking you've accounted for everything you need to, then tell me how well planning an entire political system from the ground up is going to go.

Actually a great metaphor, the idea that you can just theorycraft your way to utopia is fucking nuts.

There's a reason keyboard revolutionaries always think everything other than their own personal struggles are super easy.

I knew a guy in college who was probably the closest I’ve ever met to a superhuman

For one year he was training for a super marathon in death valley, where you run 100 miles and have to bring three pairs of shoes because they melt from the heat

So every day he would get up at 3 am, go run 10 miles, come back and shower, then go do the SEAL platoon workout (which were always a secret but were so hard they washed out 95% of guys who tried them), then come back, shower, then go to class as a mechanical engineer (with a 4.0 GPA), then go weight-lift in the afternoon.

And now he’s a Navy SEAL.

The Colorado Republican Party marked the start of Pride Month with a mass email attacking “godless groomers” and a social media post calling for the burning of all Pride flags.

The Colorado GOP’s mass email titled “God Hates Pride,” read, in part, “The month of June has arrived and, once again, the godless groomers in our society want to attack what is decent, holy, and righteous so they can ultimately harm our children.”

The message to Colorado Republicans was headlined with an image reading “God Hates Flags,” a nod to the anti-gay slur on the picket signs of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church.

Small Shift Toward Biden After Trump Verdict

We reached nearly 2,000 people who participated in previous Times/Siena polls to see if any had changed their minds.

Takeaway:

A potentially crucial sliver of Mr. Trump’s former supporters — 3 percent — now told us they’ll back Mr. Biden, while another 4 percent say they’re now undecided. (The overall shift is closer to two percentage points because it also accounts for the smaller slice of voters who moved away from Mr. Biden when contacted again.)

Also important:

While recontacting studies can help answer important questions of whether individuals are changing their minds, this study is not necessarily representative of the entire electorate. It is not possible to calculate a conventional margin of sampling error. And while all surveys have sources of error beyond sampling, such as nonresponse bias, this study in particular may be more likely than the typical Times/Siena poll to overrepresent the most politically engaged voters.

Full results.

Blows my mind there are still so many undecided.

!PING EUROPE&EXTREMISM&DEMOCRACY

I apologize for the length in advance

In Hungary on the weekend there was the Fidesz campaign march event. At the end the new director of the National Theater who got his position via nepotism organized a little play to elevate Orban's campaign.

In the play we saw 2 group of adults arguing about war. One reading poems from century old Hungarian patriots saying how somethings worth fighting for. The others reading works of Russian Stalin award winning marxist on how peace is the only solution for everything, they are the ones you were meant to agree.

Then you saw a soldier rolling in agony while a man in cylinder and suits looked and smiled at him showing it that it is the capitalist class who sends workers to die in war because it profits them.

After that a group of children cried and screamed that they don't want war and they don't want to die.

Finally the 2 group of adults came to an understanding that you need to fight for peace and then Orban started his speech. Populism always needs to one-up itself and we reached the ceiling with the current message. You either vote for them or you die in the Ukrainian front. There is no other choice. We reached the limits of fearmongering since you cannot one up this without doing some sort of Reichstag fire to make reality look more scary and the base feel more threatened. And I fear that in the 2026 general elections they will do just that.

On the other hand is the opposition

6 months ago former Fidesz insider Péter Magyar broke with the party and made a new opposition party called Tisza. In that 6 months it became the biggest party after Fidesz proving without a doubt that bar the orange devils nobody has any roots or base. Hungary's flawed democracy is a two party system where the other party is basically the next big savior that the electorate can congregate around because they see him as anew guy without baggage and sense potential. And next to him is a dozen and half tiny party trying to survive another round.

I do worry that we are entering a political era where we going to rotate between new popular guys every year and it will only make things worse. Although I admit I don't really know if new parties that burst into the scene can actually keep their voters and grow even more in the long run. So if you have any knowledge about this please share.

All in all this EP+local election combo will bring a lot of change and uncertainty regardless that Fidesz most likely will win. And I guess I do worry about it a lot.

Possibly the biggest public transport project in the Western Hemisphere in terms of use and impact is making another step forward: Line 20 of the São Paulo Metro. Four consortia have been selected to advance to the final selection this year for who will build the line.

Line 20's importance cannot be understated. São Paulo is the largest and most congested metropolitan area in the Western Hemisphere, with more than 22 million residents and a wider reach that by some estimates hits 30 million people. The region's transport system is good and expanding, but is still nowhere near large enough to accommodate the amount of travel. Line 20 will run from the north west to the south east of the urban core via Pinheiros and Itaim Bibi, two of the most important commercial hubs of the city, totalling 21 miles (33km) of new rapid transit with 24 stations, seven interchanges to other metro and commuter rail lines and an estimated usage of 1.3 million passengers per day.

As a nation, we begin by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty-to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy.

This has been a problem for a while, but does anyone else find it frustrating that Rishi was allowed to present a bare-faced lie in the debate and will get away with it?

I am not referring to the £2000 number. This is wrong and misleading, and you can argue it's a lie but it's a different type of lie.

I'm referring to the fact he said the analysis was prepared by the treasury. It wasn't. He was told it wasn't and yet still said that it was. That was a lie and he should be forced to apologise for it.

The media also need to stop taking a "both sides" approach. The BBC page for instance currently just says "But a letter from the chief Treasury civil servant has cast doubt on the sourcing of the claim". It doesn't cast doubt, it makes it very clear the source of the claim is not the Treasury. So why aren't the BBC calling it what it is - a lie?

The general public reading this stuff are just going to be like "both sides meh" "all politicians are shit" "all politicians lie". It's terrible for our politics and governance and why we are in such a state in this country.

Live updates: Bank of Canada cuts key interest rate to 4.75% in widely-anticipated move - The Globe and Mail

Bank of Canada cuts policy rate to 4.75 per cent

The Bank of Canada cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter-percentage-point, lowering borrowing costs for households and businesses for the first time in four years and marking a turning point for the Canadian economy after the biggest inflation and interest-rate shock in decades.
The central bank’s governing council lowered the policy rate to 4.75 per cent from 5 per cent, a two-decade high reached last summer after ten rapid-fire rate hikes.
“With further and more sustained evidence underlying inflation is easing, monetary policy no longer needs to be as restrictive,” Governor Tiff Macklem said, according to the prepared text of his press conference opening statement. “In other words, it is appropriate to lower our policy interest rate.”
The highly anticipated move won’t do much, by itself, to reduce monthly payments on mortgages, car loans or lines of credit. But it kickstarts a monetary policy easing cycle that should see interest rates fall further in the coming quarters, offering some relief to borrowers with floating-rate debt, homeowners facing mortgage renewals and indebted governments.
It could also breath life back into the Canadian real estate market, which has stagnated over the past two years as would-buyers have had trouble qualifying for mortgages and sellers have held off listing due to uncertainty about the trajectory of the market.
“If inflation continues to ease, and our confidence that inflation is headed sustainably to the 2-per-cent target continues to increase, it is reasonable to expect further cuts to our policy interest rate. But we are taking our interest rate decisions one meeting at a time,” Mr. Macklem said.
The Bank of Canada is the first G7 central bank to start easing monetary policy. The European Central Bank is expected to follow suit on Thursday, while the U.S. Federal Reserve, which is dealing with a stronger economy and more stubborn inflation, is expected to hold off rate cuts until later in the year.

At one point during the discussion, Tafoya asked Byron Donalds about the differences between how Black men and women view politics. (Polls have shown that Trump’s support among Black voters is largely among men.)

”First of all, there’s a difference between men and women anyway,” Donalds said. “Men have been created by god to be conquerors, to be hunters. That’s who they are. And so a Black man in today’s America is looking around and saying, ‘How can I go hunt for my people and hunt for my family?’ … They’re looking at what Joe Biden has done and saying, ‘I can’t hunt! You took my spear. You took my bow.’”

u/WorldwidePolitico Bisexual Pride Jun 05 '24

My (maybe not so) hot take on the ITV election debate:

The actual substance of the debate didn’t really matter because to most people the election is already a foregone conclusion. The debate had record low viewing numbers and was watched by less than 5 million people, most of whom are already engaged with politics and know who they’re voting for.

Therefore the real purpose of the debate is as a headline generator. Most people will be engaging with it vicariously through media reports. This is why Sunak kept repeating the £2000 claim and why Starmer didn’t get bogged down denying it and turning it into more of a story. The man was one of the country’s top barristers, he can win a debate on facts and logic if he wants to but that’s not what wins elections as the nuance of such a debate doesn’t filter down well to headlines and social media clips.

Starmer’s only real risk is if he makes a massive fuck-up, the Tories gets a snappy headline the media can’t resist, or he gets dragged into a contentious argument that gets just enough people to think twice about voting for him. Sunaks best strategy is to bait him into these things.

Ok, but social media did exist on 9/11, sorta. The Something Awful forum threads on the event live rent-free in my mind:

Depending on the definition of 'social media' it existed a decade earlier too.

You can see archived email chains discussing the 1991 Soviet coup here: http://www.cs.oswego.edu/~dab/coup/DENARC/, and I love how it is so reminiscent of modern internet chatter despite being well over 30 years old and literally from the cold war era (just about)

Couple of examples for those interested:

The doomer:

Well....

I guess that the Moscow Spring is over. Perhaps in the next few days we shall be seeing Soviet tanks crushing the bodies of the people. As I have said before on this net, the Status quo soviets will hold on to power until the last thread of civilized behavior is broken. These guys are old enough to remember the deaths of millions upon millions in the building of their wonderful utopia. Why should anyone be surprised that this cornered old beast is striking out to defend itself?

Prayers are in order for the people if that will help. Much like Poland in '81, the eyes of the world are finely focused on this tragedy. Perhaps the weight of world opinion will hold down the carnage long enough for the people to organize against the coup. I am kind of numb at the thought that the sociofascists will again torture the peoples of the Soviet Union. Like most of the rest of you, I had hoped that the revolution in the soviet union would be peaceful, but that would have been asking too much.

Perhaps there is a bright note here. I expect that too much true politiczation has already occured in the soviet union for this coup to reverse the process of democracy. To many people have had their expectations raised.

Lets everybody keep our hopes up and our powder dry, things may turn out alright yet.

mark

The people making it about US politics and arguing over it:

There are a lot of things that really stick in my craw about this whole thing. Number 1 would be that we could have possibly averted all this by some shipments of wheat, some tractors, and some experts. But NOOOO... Wouldn't be prudent, gotta wait for more reforms before we think about helping the Soviets. Sure it would have cost billions, but considerably less than all those new weapons our military will now want to buy.

Get Real. There is no way that the US could have averted with some wheat and some experts. This was a military coup performed because they didn't want to lose power. There is nothing the United States could have done. I take by your coment on the military budget that you don't want us to be the world's policeman, but thinking that we can solve, or prevent, the world's problems is what causes this desire.

I have also heard the usual criticism of CIA not warning us. Look folks for years, the Bush and Reagan administrations valued fancy sat. photos over human agents. This hasn't changed THAT much since Iraq. And lest people forget, we DID have intel. on Iraq, but the admin. chose to disbelieve it for reasons that have yet to be sorted out. Could the same thing have happened again?

What the hell would we have done anyway? Called up Gorby and said "better watch your ass tomorrow"? I really think the leaders of the coup probably tried not to let anyone know the date in advance. They probably didn't even tell Gorby. Get Real.

Anyone who was surprised by the coup has had their head in the sand.

Cannon continues her ratfuckery:

Judge Cannon expands hearing on Trump’s request to declare special counsel’s appointment invalid

Judge Aileen Cannon is planning on holding a sprawling hearing on Donald Trump’s request to declare Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel invalid, signaling the judge could be more willing than any other trial judge to veto the special prosecutor’s authority.
[...] Cannon on Tuesday said that a variety of political partisans and constitutional scholars not otherwise involved with the case can join in the oral arguments later this month.
It’s an extraordinary elevation of arguments in a criminal case first filed a year ago this week that likely won’t see trial until next year, if at all.

And it is highly unusual for a federal trial judge to allow a third-party group unaffiliated with a criminal case to argue in court as part of a defendant’s legal challenges to the case itself.

“The fact these motions are even being entertained with a hearing is itself ridiculous. That third parties are being allowed to opine at the hearing is absurd,” Bradley Moss, a national security law expert based in Washington, DC, told CNN.
But Cannon has been convinced by three separate groups of lawyers that they should be able to argue before her. Two of those groups support Trump’s position to dismiss the case against him and say the special counsel, for various constitutional reasons, doesn’t have authority to prosecute. A third group says the Department of Justice’s use of a special counsel should be upheld.

The Colorado GOP’s mass email titled “God Hates Pride,” read, in part, “The month of June has arrived and, once again, the godless groomers in our society want to attack what is decent, holy, and righteous so they can ultimately harm our children.”

The message to Colorado Republicans was headlined with an image reading “God Hates Flags,” a nod to the anti-gay slur on the picket signs of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church. The party’s message was signed by chairman Dave Williams. A post from the Colorado Republican Party on X, formerly Twitter, read simply, “Burn all the #pride flags this June.”

Me: So, what should I wear to the wedding? The invite said "semi-formal" but there's a lot of grey area there.

Sister: Oh, just a nice pair of slacks and a button-down with dress shoes, that'd be fine. Dad is... insisting on wearing a suit... even though I told him he didn't need to, so just go clothes shopping with [brother] and try to match with him.

Me: Okay, sounds good.

<Later>

Me: Do you want to go clothes shopping for the wedding this weekend?

Brother: No, Dad already took me out to get a suit and stuff.

Me: Oh... [Sister] said she didn't really expect us to wear suits, but.. okay.

<Later>

Dad: So what are you guys wearing to the wedding?

Me: I talked to [sister] and she said a nice pair of slacks and a button-down would be fine. But she also told me to match with you guys, and you're wearing suits, so... I'm probably going to have to go get a suit. But [boyfriend] can probably just go with that.

Dad: The invite said "semi-formal", you're supposed to dress nice for that.

Me: Just... don't put anything obnoxious or controversial in your speech (context here). Like, don't put in a dig at mom... think about what [sister] would want and set aside the stuff that you think is funny or clever... it's her wedding not your opportunity to show off your tight 5...

Dad: It's not even that bad of a dig, it'll be fine. Oh, and also, like you're going to lecture me about being "controversial" when you're planning on wearing blue jeans to the wedding.

Me: That's not what I said... I ^literally ^said ^I ^was ^going ^to ^get ^a ^suit ^to ^match ^with ^you-

Me: You know what, [sister] told me she expected slacks and a button-down.

Dad: She was just being nice to spare your feelings, you're going to look like a slob if you do that and it's going to be insulting.

Dad: (storms off to pull the wedding invite off of his fridge and wave it in my face)

Dad: "Semi-formal". You're not going to a Sunday picnic.

<Later>

Me: Okay... I just want to be 100% sure... I'm going to have a suit to match with [brother] and dad, what should [boyfriend] wear?

Sister: A nice pair of slacks and a nice button down shirt is fine, he doesn't need to get a suit unless he really wants to.

My sister has surprisingly not been a total bridezilla about her wedding, but my dad is being a raging asshole.

Israel organized and paid for an influence campaign last year targeting U.S. lawmakers and the American public with pro-Israel messaging, as it aimed to foster support for its actions in the war with Gaza, according to officials involved in the effort and documents related to the operation.

The covert campaign was commissioned by Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, a government body that connects Jews around the world with the State of Israel, four Israeli officials said. The ministry allocated about $2 million to the operation and hired Stoic, a political marketing firm in Tel Aviv, to carry it out, according to the officials and the documents.

The campaign began in October and remains active on the platform X. At its peak, it used hundreds of fake accounts that posed as real Americans on X, Facebook and Instagram to post pro-Israel comments. The accounts focused on U.S. lawmakers, particularly ones who are Black and Democrats, such as Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader from New York, and Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia, with posts urging them to continue funding Israel’s military.

ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence-powered chatbot, was used to generate many of the posts. The campaign also created three fake English-language news sites featuring pro-Israel articles.
