Musashi was the cutoff point of world history calling someone a warrior poet instead of a serial killer. The PS1 game with the FFVIII demo was good, though.

You probably get a lot of slack when your first victim is a guy who wrote "SOMEONE WANNA FIGHT TO THE DEATH?" and then demanded getting to kill a little boy unless he apologized to him for replying "Sure!" on the public notice and most of your followups were that kind of rear end in a top hat.

Unless it's literally "someone sabotaged/shot at the helicopter," it seems like "only" a horrible tragedy for the people who died and their loved one's, and a real inconvenience for the Iranian state.

Yeah, around 2017-2018 he had half of his family 'arrested' in a fancy hotel until they agreed to sign over key assets and state companies to him and his cronies. Ostensibly under the guise of a corruption probe, which is low-key hilarious.

Couple of articles in the Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/19/us/politics/political-violence.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare Threats to politicians and judges are way way up. Pretty obvious why. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/19/briefing/centrism-washington-neopopulism.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare Apparently neoliberalism is dying politically. That’s probably a good thing. There’s a new “neopopulist” consensus forming.

Bar Ran Dun posted:https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/19/briefing/centrism-washington-neopopulism.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare Given that this article brands Trump as centrist and insists that Congress is way less partisan than it was fifteen years ago, I'm not so sure that "neopopulist" consensus exists anywhere outside of David Leonhardt's fever dreams. Watching him talk triumphantly about "bipartisan" bills that pass with all the Democrats and a couple of Republicans voting for them, I can't help but feel that he put a little too much wishful thinking into this piece.

The covid response and the tiktok sale specifically feel less like a shift toward neopopulist and more a forced reaction of the reality. The former was a literal pandemic that required an extreme response, while the latter is a realization by the white house/government that they have lost control of the narrative in a major way. The rest of his examples are rather narrow. They're a patchwork means of fixing the economy, the same method they've been doing this whole time, except they're happening more frequently.

https://www.wired.com/story/extremist-militias-are-coordinating-on-facebook/ Extremist Militias Are Coordinating in More Than 100 Facebook Groups quote:After lying low for several years in the aftermath of the US Capitol riot on January 6, militia extremists have been quietly reorganizing, ramping up recruitment and rhetoric on Facebook—with apparently little concern that Meta will enforce its ban against them, according to new research by the Tech Transparency Project, shared exclusively with WIRED.

Maybe you should repent your sins. Or perhaps lean into them, and embrace hedonistic capitalism and the glorious intestinal rocketfuel that is fat laden fast food.

Raenir Salazar posted:So just to be clear, you are aware that there are in fact rules, you're just unsure if China's subsidies are infringing on the WTO rules or the rules of some other international body or treaty or other agreement? Currently I am taking it at face value the statements of the United States the grievance is factual, that China is subsidizing its EV manufacturing in a means or method in violation of some statute, or agreement China agreed in principle to. As statements by ranking officials of the United States are generally pretty authoritative and there's nothing unreasonable in choosing to do so. Hey I know this is old news at this point but I wanted to acknowledge and thank you for coming through on this. You raise a good point about the development of a national US EV industry and based on the links you provided, and taking the US' official statements at face value, your conclusion is reasonable. Agreed that Google is increasingly useless btw. I hope whatever happens is the best for the environment and workers.

The article likes to use the words "AI" and "deepfake", but what it actually seems to be describing is just dubbing unrelated audio over real videos. Hell, their first example just sounds like a bog-standard TTS. There's no actual indication that it's state propaganda, either, and plenty of indications that it isn't. The article even says that itself, several times. Though it does like to muddle that up by quickly following it up with mentions of other, unrelated claims of state propaganda.

But they are fake, too.” Apparently there is a very wide range in quality. Some of its just dubbed over, some is 3d modeled, some is deep faked.
