@lykso@tiny.tilde.website yep. Also it's clear from their propaganda campaign, Iran *really* understands the American people. They clearly understand that they don't have to fight the US to get them out of the Strait of Hormuz. $5/gal gas will do that for them.

@skinnylatte there's a special flavor on Mastodon: "if you call me racist, you're transphobic".

"We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret."

@artemis do we get bonus points if a SCOTUS Justice dies or steps down and Democrats just approve whoever Trump nominates?

@Tattie if you accidentally burn down the patriarchy while you're at it, that's fine. It was getting old and frumpy anyway.

@artemis@dice.camp if you have the space, Half Price Books would probably love you to take one of their encyclopedias off their hands.

@skinnylatte that's a real thing. People who moved to CA way back, had their house appreciate by millions, then sold it and went somewhere else are just the worst kind of migrants.
Texans hate them too because they've invaded Austin.

@TexJoachim@blabber.rocks @Robotistry@fediscience.org @totalclaireity@toot.lgbt yeah, I'm also old enough to remember phone books, but young enough to remember not everybody's number was listed. I also remember business cards, emphasis on *business*.

@trochee@dair-community.social literature students in a couple hundred years are going to see such a sharp division between the 20th and 21st centuries. We used to be afraid of making something smarter than us when we should have been afraid of making something that sharply dropped our collective intelligence.

@artemis@dice.camp it's also possible that Iran knows full well it's actually fighting Israel, not the US, so it's not trying to kill Americans if it can help it.
Replying to
@artemis@dice.camp I've been thinking about this some this morning, and I think I'm landing on the theory that Iran sees it as much more in their interest to behave like the adult in this conflict.
Like, the US is a toddler throwing a tantrum and Iran is simply taking away its toys.
It very much looks like Iran saying "we didn't pick this fight so we're just trying to stop getting hit". That would be the reason to take out materiel not soldiers.

@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange right? If there were a legal way to convert smarts straight into money, we'd be doing it my dude.

@artemis I mean, we've seen it's fine to just wait until the next Presidential election to hold any hearings (thank Mitch!) but 0% chance Democrats use it to get a SCOTUS seat back.
Replying to
@artemis he has to have known. He and his wife are pretty savvy as far as I can tell. They're certainly not dumb.
I'm pretty sure JD's plan is to "yes, daddy" to stay in his spot until Trump keels over and he can start doing Project 2025 correctly.
Replying to
@totalclaireity could I humbly request an exception for anyone naming their AI toy "Rasputin"?
I think naming it after a debaucherous faith healer who cozied up to power is pretty fitting.

@drgroftehauge@sigmoid.social @hazelweakly@hachyderm.io as far as any of us know, it's a picture of a bunch of yellow citrus fruit getting together and having a good time.
Replying to
@drgroftehauge@sigmoid.social @hazelweakly@hachyderm.io I know those words together but I have still never actually seen the reference.
I come from the old internet, where you are always careful because there are some things you can't goatunsee.
Replying to
@artemis I don't think you're wrong, but I also don't think those questions ever get answered during wartime. Wars are like ongoing police investigations writ large--nobody who knows things is going to actually talk to the press and give them info that could be exploited by the other side.

@mayintoronto@beige.party if it's a particularly nice day can I try smashing patriarchy in the park or something?

@evacide@hachyderm.io @k8em0@infosec.exchange I understand that what's really going on is Anthropic saying "if we can't sell it, nobody can have it", and playing stupid power games with the US government, but still. The optics are very rake-kickflippy.

@farah now I kinda want to throw the book at @knowprose and not let him choose ebook or audiobook.

@evacide@hachyderm.io @k8em0@infosec.exchange between Anthropic and their "this is too dangerous for public release", the gov't going "export control!" and Anthropic apparently not having the ability to...*checks notes*...only allow approved users to use it (???) this feels like that kickflipping a rake comic.
