I elaborate my Kantian interpretation of Joanna Newsom, "Time, As a Symptom" and ask whether we should find it comforting to deny that time is a transcendent reality.

In the 1980s, the Colombian left, including guerrillas who had put down their arms, attempted an electoral experiment called the Patriotic Union. After decent election results the right with the help of Israeli intelligence officers and mercs literally exterminated the party

sorry but “surrender document” and “the U.S. will not soon recover from this” are patently psychotic things to say. Why is every major liberal talking like John Milius? The avg American’s life will not be impacted by the US not menacing Iran except their gas prices will go down
This is a jaw-dropping, horrific surrender document complete with hundreds of billions in reparations. It is the predictable result of incompetent negotiation and the foolhardy strategic catastrophe of starting and pursuing this disastrous war. The U.S. will not soon recover from this, the biggest national security blunder in decades.

I am curious what @HenMazzig and @deborahlipstadt, who have condemned the bloodthirsty Ben-Gvir many times, think he’s been up to while overseeing the Israel Prison Service.

Experimental post: The Time 5-Year-Old Supper Mario Broth Thought Luigi Was a Cryptid
I share a story from my personal life about the first time I encountered Luigi at the age of 5. Due to a combination of factors, I was unprepared for him and ended up believing he was a cryptid.

at a data center town hall the other day the industry rep likened data center buildout to israel’s iron dome and confessed to the need to uphold “judeo-christian” values. also made a point of saying “pete’s [hegseth] a good friend of mine.” not a particularly good PR strategy
