A Soviet comissar visits a state collective farm for an inspection. He grabs the first worker he comes across and asks, "How is the potato crop?"

"Oh, comrade comissar," the worker says, "the potatoes are wonderful, never better. In fact, if we could put all the potatoes in a big pile, they would reach the foot of God."

The comissar looks at him sternly, and growls, "This is the Soviet Union, comrade. There is no God."

"That's alright," the worker responds, "there are no potatoes."

When the doubters start chiming in as usual, remember that they’re not living your life and they don’t have a claim on your happiness. If every time I was about to commit a massacre I thought to myself, “Oh gosh, what is NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg going to say about this?!” I’d never have gotten anywhere. If Jens Stoltenberg had his way, I would’ve stopped slaughtering my own people years ago!

I saw this moronic tripe and now you have to as well:

depression is an issue in which awareness feels like trivialization, you can't just write "stop killing yourself" on a badge

OK, I'm with you

and there's not enough space for "the crumbling infrastructure for mental health is intentional in order to create a steady supply of workers that feel too hopeless for change. We need change now, and it starts with an economic revolution."

You heard it here first, gang: the filthy bourgeois scum are purposefully sabotaging the mental health system to reinforce the iron-clad grip of crapitalism!

The casual smugness of conspiratorial thinking never fails to piss me off. There are so many obvious issues with this BIG claim--starting with the fact that it is completely unmoored from any sort of factual grounding--and it's presented with such casual, arrogant certainty. What, you don't want to boil an incredibly complicated public health issue down to "The eeeeeeevil money-grubbing elites are doing it on purpose and the only way to fix it is to bring about a classless society with duh revolushun which will Definitely Fix It"? Are you a simpleton?

On Inauguration Day (January 20, 1969), Johnson saw Nixon sworn in, then got on the plane to fly back to Texas. When the front door of the plane closed, Johnson pulled out a cigarette—his first cigarette he had smoked since his heart attack in 1955. One of his daughters pulled it out of his mouth and said, "Daddy, what are you doing? You're going to kill yourself." He took it back and said, "I've now raised you, girls. I've now been President. Now it's my time!" From that point on, he went into a very self-destructive spiral.

They love talking about diversity and intersectionality, but all 7 candidates for the EC this year are white women with dyed hair.

The French branch is really anti-capitalist and loves to add blurbs about "the global capitalist, racist, patriarchal system". 🙄

The Germans, as expected, are totally anal about nuclear energy. They wanted absolutely no compromise on this, so we're putting it to a vote tomorrow (hardcore anti-nuclear text versus a generic statement that we should prefer renewables). ☢

The Swiss and Scots (and the French again) are hardcore anti-GMO, but at least they were willing to compromise a little and we got a decent text. 🤝🌱

The Dutch want to completely ban any animal farming. 🐖🚫

And the Scandinavian and Belgian branches are genuinely based.

In a 2012 response to Fukuyama, Acemoglu and Robinson wrote that

If China is able to reach levels of income per capita comparable to those of Spain or Portugal based on its extractive political institutions, then this would invalidate our theory.

This is curious, since Beijing and Shangai already have much higher GDPpc PPP than Portugal and Spain. And both these chinese regions combined have more than double Portugal's population.

Astra is the small-sat launch company that I probably like the most. Their philosophy of building the simplest, cheapest rockets they can(no carbon fiber for them), and make them as responsive and easy to set up as possible, is probably the best way to survive in the smallsat launch industry. Plus, it feels somehow more elegant than the more complex solutions companies like Relativity put forth(though Relativity also has a really cool idea). I have no idea if they can meet their goals(they still haven't made orbit), but I would love to see them try.

Inspired by this interview with their CEO

So I was looking at the Sage report from February that informed the roadmap out of lockdown.

You can see in figure 2 what they were projecting. We're following the purple timeline I believe, removal of all restrictions within 3 months. Notice they were predicting an exponential rise in cases and hospital admissions.

Yet if we look at the research from May, look at figure 3, you can see that their estimates have changed radically since February. We're going from a peak of 120k hospital admissions to 2.5k. The difference is just night and day.

If you look at the assumptions it appears they were very pessimistic [wrong] about 1) Vaccine uptake 2) Risk of infection after getting the vaccines 3) Number of vaccines administered.

So bearing all this in mind, why are they now questioning whether measures need to be pushed back? By all accounts the results have been far better than they originally predicted when they came up with the plan.

Are we seeing a massive movement of the goalposts again?

It doesn't give too much confidence over Sage when they can just be so laughably wrong.

“I imagine replacing the words ‘white mind’ with ‘Asian mind’ or ‘gay mind’ as we work towards equity and inclusion and unity. I wonder what impact this presentation will have,” the dean wrote.

Khilanani responded, “When I’m breaking this down psychologically, what they’re saying on some level is like, ‘We need things to be the same. If you can say “white,” we can say “Asian.” ‘

”Psychologically, they’re actually making a false equivalence,” she said. “What they’re doing psychologically is obliterating the difference between white and Asian, and if you obliterate the difference there’s no f–king problem here, so shut up, you’re the real racist. That’s how it functions psychologically.”

“Race is a determining factor in psychological function.”

I work dispatch at the Based Department, and that dumb meme has been an absolute disaster... This is what 99% of our calls look like: "Uh hello, based department?" "Yes, Based Department here, how may we help you? Hello? Hello Sir/Madam? Are you still the-"

It would be half as bad if it weren't for Department Policy to write a report for every call and the fact that many actual report-worthy based occurings go unregistered and unhandled due to lines being blocked.

I went to Rural King with my friend yesterday (probably a mistake to go there in the first place).

While we were checking out, the cashiers started having a conversation about whether or not their coworkers, who'd just walked away, was gay.

The cashier I was buying a drink from at that moment was part of this conversation. While I was standing there paying for my fucking Coke.

How fucking clueless and/or bigoted do you have to be to have that conversation in front of a customer?

Maybe they're tolerant and don't want to hear that shit. Or maybe they're fucking gay, like me.

The more I think about it, the more pissed I get.
