It’s not that our politicians/press are getting more corrupt, it’s that we’re now able to finally see just how corrupt they’ve always been. Data over #ƨcience
AI won't end humanity by turning into killer Arnold-bots.
It'll do it by feeding us utterly confident, yet completely wrong information that we act on without thinking.

🚨Update: Iran has reversed engineered the American bunker-busting bomb GBU-39/B (SDB) and will soon have it ready for use in the next war with Israel!!
The Secret Plan to Install Ahmadinejad as Iran’s Leader, And Why It Collapsed
A senior Israeli intelligence figure has now confirmed what was hidden during the recent war: Israel and the United States went into the conflict with a concrete plan to overthrow the Iranian regime and install former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the transitional leader.
Maj. Gen. (res.) Tamir Hayman, who headed Military Intelligence during Operation Roaring Lion, spoke openly on PBS’s Firing Line about the multi-stage operation that was supposed to follow the initial strikes.
Ahmadinejad had been consulted in advance and was initially willing to play the role. The plan even included a targeted Israeli strike on his home in Tehran on the very first day of the war, February 28 designed to free him from house arrest so he could publicly emerge as the new face of power.
But the real centerpiece of the entire sequence was something far more ambitious: a Kurdish military invasion into northwestern Iran. The goal was to ignite rebellions among Iran’s oppressed ethnic minorities, pin down large numbers of IRGC and Basij forces, create internal chaos, and open the door for regime collapse from within.
The plan never got that far. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan saw any Kurdish advance as a direct threat to Turkey’s stability and interests. He personally convinced President Trump to cancel the Kurdish invasion. Once that opening move was removed, the whole sequence fell apart.
Ahmadinejad himself was injured in the Israeli strike meant to liberate him. He survived, went underground, and quickly distanced himself from any further cooperation. He is alive today. What was intended as a clean “jailbreak” became a near-death experience that ended his involvement.
I personally met with Iranian Kurdish leaders in Erbil during the first two weeks of the war, under IRGC fire on the Iraqi-Iranian border. I saw the real potential on the ground, the networks, the motivation, and the strategic value of using internal pressure from Iran’s minorities. Kurdish forces were willing and ready to move.
Trump had the chance to change the equation decisively. When Erdoğan pushed back, he blinked. That was the moment the operation lost its strategic backbone. Israel had no plans to strike Iran early this year.
Trump, emboldened by his success in Venezuela, wanted another quick win. When faced with real challenges, he abandoned the main pillar of the plan.
The regime survived because the Kurdish card, the only serious internal lever available was removed before it could be played.
President Trump turned a potential historic opportunity into a strategic defeat through impatience and poor war management. He is now desperately seeking an exit to save face, while the Iranian regime remains intact and more dangerous.
This is not theory. This is what actually happened.
Lets hope the US wakes up to the reality of micro device warfare soon so that something like this can be used to counter the inevitable slew of drug laden drones that will soon be heading our way across the Mexican border.

@SteveHiltonx The fact that she is trying to say the number of candidates has anything to do with timeliness of counting is embarrassing unto itself.
You. Count. Votes.

@Supersonic_Red I can see the MacPlus sitting on the top of my bookshelf as I type (between the cassette and CD racks). 🙂
P.S. I think Strauss and Howe got it right. Jones wanked it up. Make Gen X 1960-1981 and all of this still holds true.

If you cannot articulate what these are, then you might struggle to articulate how what you believe is or is not conservative...
Old Whig constitutionalism
+ Adams-style ordered liberty
+ Tocquevillean civil society
+ Old Right anti-centralization
+ anti-communist realism
+ Christian/classical moral order
+ Burkean prudence
+ Kirkian conservatism
For those actual conservatives out there, this is your pedigree. Be proud!
@GadSaad Put another way, humans tend to move toward reward and away from punishment.
The degree by which this is true is variable, but the byproducts of evolution are present even in those who may be a step behind the rest of us.
This is how my 911 call went yesterday, it was INSANE:
Dispatch: “911 what is your emergency?”
Me: “I need an officer to take a report. I was attacked and robbed of at least $1,500 worth of property at Delaney Hall.”
Dispatch: “sir who robbed you?”
Me: “the masked chaos agents that are apparently allowed to run our streets while officers are nowhere to be seen.”
Dispatch: “sir, are you saying ICE robbed you?”
Me: “are you stupid? No I’m not saying ICE robbed me. I’m talking about the protestors who attack people every single night outside of Delaney Hall.”
Dispatch: “Sir, they are simply peacefully protesting.”
Me: “did you miss the part where they robbed and attacked me? You can keep your braindead opinions to yourself - you’re a 911 dispatcher and I was robbed. I need an officer not your stupid input.”
I will be filing a FOIA for this 911 call with a Newark dispatcher. The first dispatcher straight up hung up on me.
