“Trump is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal. Stupidity has never been so nasty, nor nastiness this stupid. If Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he’d make Trump.” Gonna pin this https://t.co/h98EXU0StN

At least there is a mind to be ill. Conservatism is a complete absence of a mind.

'Probabilistic' comes from Latin. 'Stochastic' comes from Greek.

Confusing cause/effect much? Classic Macintyrean nonsense. *Modernity* didn't "destroy the shared 🤪 moral 🤡language 😂once supplied by traditions & religion." It is a result of centuries of cyclic decays, implosions, and catastrophic consequences of religion 🤮& traditions🤢!

New newsletter: MARKETS AND MORALITY

"Gambling and prediction markets are flourishing because they meets the needs of our moment: a low-trust world, where often lonely young people are seeking high-risk opportunities to launch them into wealth and comfort...

Americans are pulling away from practically every value that once defined national life—patriotism, religion, community, family. Young people care less than their parents about marriage, children, or faith. But nature, abhorring a vacuum, is filling the moral void left by retreating institutions with the market. Money has become our final virtue.

I often find myself thinking about the philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, who argued in the introduction of After Virtue that modernity had destroyed the shared moral language once supplied by traditions and religion, leaving us with only the language of individual preference. Virtue did not disappear, I think, so much as it died and was reincarnated as the market. It is now the market that tells us what things are worth, what events matter, whose predictions are correct, who is winning, who counts."

Surely the decline is long overdue, given how long God has been dead. And now that money is God, perhaps the other development isn't surprising either.

🚨🇮🇷 Iran just hit 9 countries in a single night, including 7 of the wealthiest nations on earth

This was Tehran's answer to Israel striking the South Pars gas field, the world's largest, earlier today.

The most intense retaliatory barrage of the entire war, and Iran is now the only country on the planet simultaneously attacking seven of the richest nations by GDP per capita:

🇮🇱 Israel: Ballistic missiles and cluster munitions over central Israel. Two killed in Ramat Gan. Four Palestinian women killed in the West Bank by an Iranian missile.

🇶🇦 Qatar ($110K GDP per capita): 14 ballistic missiles fired. Ras Laffan LNG hub suffered "extensive damage" confirmed by QatarEnergy.

🇦🇪 UAE ($100K): 13 ballistic missiles and 27 attack drones intercepted. Iran threatening imminent strikes on energy facilities.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia ($35K): Evacuation orders issued for Samref Refinery and Jubail Petrochemical Complex. Waves of missiles intercepted over Riyadh.

🇰🇼 Kuwait ($75K): Ballistic missiles intercepted. U.S. facilities targeted again.

🇧🇭 Bahrain ($65K): U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters under continued assault throughout the war.

🇴🇲 Oman ($32K): Drone strikes on industrial zones. Workers killed. The last neutral Gulf state is now taking fire.

🇯🇴 Jordan: U.S. bases struck as part of the widening multi-front campaign.

🇮🇶 Iraq: U.S. Embassy in Baghdad under nightly drone siege.

Combined GDP per capita of the Gulf states under attack: over $417,000.

These are some of the most prosperous, developed nations on earth, and Iran is hitting all of them simultaneously while its own economy collapses.

This is Operation Madman at full throttle: torch the region's wealth until the world demands the war stops.

Brutal. Just brutal. As deep an insult to a military and its commander in chief as can be imagined: "What does Trump expect in Strait of Hormuz that the mighty US Navy can't manage?" Especially coming from a country with a rich history of military trauma!

One of the giants of British politics the late Right Honorable Tony Benn MP, he was a friend of my late father. This was his speech to Parliament against the Iraq war.

He was the definition of a people first politician.

It gets worse: the MAGA DoE just bannerized Catharine Beecher, a staunch opponent of giving women political rights, including the right to vote … which, besides stuffing guns and bibles up everyone’s ass, sums up the GOP. Keeping Americans armed and stupid is US conservatism.
