A lazy rascal, spending his substance, and more, in riotous living.

- We're constantly relearning that laws and rights are things honored and enforced by people and institutions, and when those fail you're left with nothing but a bad system and empty promises

- The inevitable outcome of decades of convincing yourself that the government is responsible for everything bad is to assume that everything bad must also be the government

- The old TV show The Sandbaggers does a great job portraying intelligence work at the time as unglamorous and grubby. They're stuck in small, bland offices; they never have enough personnel or resources; and everyone is clearly struggling with some combination of depression and alcoholism

- They get revered because they're "martyrs," but they're only martyrs because they were so bad at their jobs they caused the collapse of centuries-or-millenia-old systems. Truly world-historical dipshits.

- This is why the "Donald the Dove" idea was always nonsense. If you paid any attention to what he said it was obvious he wanted to return 19th century-style geopolitcs focused on resource extraction and gunboat diplomacy, not a rejection of military intervention generally
- It's so weird that monarchy simps insist on glazing him and guys like Louis XVI. Their incompetence was responsible for ending their monarchies. A lot of contemporary monarchists were mad at them because they correctly feared their poor fit for the role threatened the entire system
- Just say women. This is taking forever.

- I think a lot of people wrongly assume this is another case of rejecting a colonially-imposed name in favor of something less imperialist, like using Aotearoa instead of New. Zealand, but really it's an argument to apply a colonial name even more broadly

- And that it's composed entirely of states that exist on equal terms with equal rights and influence, which the many residents of its various territories (and capital) will tell you simply isn't true

- Exactly! Several countries with federalist systems elect their presidents by direct popular vote, and it has zero impact whether and how "federal" they are
- I laughed at loud. These people are so pathetic; our enemies are numbskulls. They will kill us all and still not know hs physics. COWEN: The stupidest question possible: Why don’t we just make more GPUs? ALTMAN: Because we need to make more electrons. conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/sam...

- Looking forward the to multi-million dollar Federalist Society Relaxation and Performing Arts Center opening in a rural Kansas strip mall shortly thereafter
- It's a shame John le Carré isn't with us anymore. The prestige drama adapted from the award winning book that he would have written inspired by this that no one actually read would be so good

- It sure seems like one of the biggest political developments of the Trump era, and one of the ways the administration's agenda has backfired most spectacularly, is the rise of class consciousness among PMCs and the highly educated

- I also think a group ruthlessly & cynically focused on exercising power as the neocons is much more attuned to those with similar outlooks. Where a lot of people see "divisive rhetoric" & "norm breaking," they think about what they would do in that situation & realize "Oh they're serious about this"
- Plus they've been intra-coalitional adversaries with these guys or their ideological forerunners for decades, and have had plenty of opportunities to see then up close and realize, "These guys want to send us to the wall as soon as they get the chance"

- You wouldn't necessarily need to increase the size if you weren't adopting a method like German-style mixed multimember proportional. The states with one member delegations wouldn't get proportional outcomes, but you'd still see a big change in Congress overall

- Interpol doesn't make arrests. That only happens in movies. It coordinates information sharing among countries and offers technical assistance. Only US law enforcement or someone who is otherwise allowed to by US law can arrest someone here, either of which would violate the treaty

- It's hard to tell what's going on in the quote. His response about using "pursuing every legal avenue" could be mean he will honor the warrant, or it could be to give him room to eventually say the treaty prohibits arrest. I'm not sure what you mean about not using NY cops. Arresting is impeding

- It would be if American law enforcement makes the arrest
- In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.
- The 1947 treaty between the US and the UN that established New York as its headquarters has a provision prohibiting US authorities from impeding representatives of member nations to and from the UN

- It's probably something bad, but since it's Hegseth, we're underestimating the possibility that it will end up being a glorified corporate team building retreat run by former SEALs-turned-motivational-speakers-cum-influencers so the military can regain "the warrior mindset" or something
- (Naturally, Hegseth and other members of the administration would have extensive financial interests any companies and contractors receiving public funds to put on the event)
