Too many people to reply to while I'm prepping lunch, but I just wanted to say to all of you that I'm so glad to be able to have these intelligent, insightful, and nuanced conversations with you. And to read your replies to each other.

It makes me happy and hopeful.

"Last week I wrote about the political and media response to the war in Iran. This week I’m going to write about the market reaction. In both cases, we are witnessing the same process: the refusal of people to accept that the world is run by a madman"

Really excellent essay by Ian Dunt.

Firstly, I want to be incredibly clear on something: the regime in Iran is murderous, misogynistic, autocratic, anti-diversity, torturing, kidnapping bastards.

All that being said, I don't know when the US and the west in general is going to learn that you cannot defeat an enemy determined to defend its own territory via aerial bombardment. Period.
It has never happened. Never. Not once.

The US has even tried it with boots on the ground - in Vietnam, in Afghanistan, in Iraq. It doesn't work

For anyone over the age of 50 who has put off getting the Shingrix (shingles) vaccine, some recent studies should make you reconsider. This week's TWIV episode digs into some of the positive ancillary effects, looking at some very creditable papers that find that it greatly reduces the incidence of dementia, and generally slows down the aging process by suppressing inflammation.

The RSV vaccine has seen some similar side-effects.

RE: @voteinorout@mastodon.social

As a Jew, I feel exactly the same way he does. And I suspect there are millions of us who feel the same way, and the media ignores us.

To conflate Jewishness with what the Israeli government is doing - and has done for years - is profoundly antisemitic.

The gross, pathological narcissism that lies behind the lie of AI is that it doesn't matter that we chose an inanimate thing over another human. And that we're encouraged to do so. That AI girlfriend, that AI therapist, that AI copy editor, that AI music ... that doesn't require us to see the common humanity in the other who gives us something or demands something of us... Essentially, at is core, this produces not only a disdain for the other, but a disdain for our own singular humanity.

Saying that you do not want GenAI in the #books you read, the things you watch or the games you play is an understandable and NORMAL position. Maybe they have ethical concerns, maybe they love their artist homies. Maybe they don't like the bland garbage that AI generates. Stop framing this like an horde of neoluddites is starting the Butlerian Jihad (would be fun doh) just because they do not want to follow a romance autor who has a computer shitting novels instead of writing them herself.

I have to say, I cannot really fathom the mind of someone who fantasises that they are some hermetically sealed bag of blood with no responsibility to anyone but themselves. It's like they have no concept of the concrete reality of the organic thing they are. I can't really conceive of that kind of extreme alienation. But I guess this explains why they can kill each other so blithely.

Mothers and fathers would formally take their offspring to the public bath, to underscore the duty of a person living with others in a community. Long before germ theory, the idea that keeping your individual body clean contributed to the health and welfare of the demos. Yes, of course, we are all individuals, but we are also, as humans living together, each parts of an ecosystem. We are not islands. We breathe each other's exhalations, we share our biomes with each other. 2/

I have been wondering why, philosophically, there has been this eruption of anti-vaccine sentiment. I feel you can really trace it to a radical, anti-social kind of libertarianism that has been groomed so efficiently with the selfishness of late stage capitalism. It's a kind of mad exceptionalism. And I contrast that with my very first experience of going to a public bath, in Istanbul. It was the ancient Greeks who really established the concept of public baths in Europe. 1/

I have been thinking about how many of these members of ICE/DHS are being spoken about by this administration as having been 'highly trained Border Police' who've been serving down at the border for years. I wonder how many Brown people they murdered down there? With no one taking video? Because, if you look at the guys who killed Good and Pretti there's a common theme - you don't murder with that kind of casual brutality without practice.

The Trump administration is a line-up of the world’s most unmasculine men - Bonespurs Trump, Fox-commando, self-abhoring alcoholic Hegseth, sexually confused stoner RFK, couch humper, morally and intellectually limp as spaghetti J.D. Vance. They literally are the most laughable gallery of snowflakes in the history of the world.

If the Trump administration wants to hold all Afghan immigrants responsible for one gunman, or all Somali immigrants responsible for some one pulling a scam, then I’m good with that. Deport all white christian immigrants and their descendants for school shootings, for the murder of Heather Heyer, for almost all the death by cops, indeed for most of the crime in America.

When I point out that Trump consistently uses the language of genocide, it isn’t that I’m surprised about it. It is that it needs to be consistently pointed out, and not normalised. It should shock our conscience and keep on shocking our conscience. That doesn’t mean we’re surprised. It means we’re not desensitised to it. Historically, people in power who call groups of people ‘garbage’ or ‘vermin’ or other dehumanising pejoratives, usually do this just before they commit atrocities.

@cstross@wandering.shop Yes, it is eerie how many of these PROFESSIONS are predominantly represented by women. Although engineering is a bit of an outlier (not that there aren’t lots of women engineers), but this is just jawdropping. More startling still - by an administration supposedly headed by a ‘real estate and construction genius 😂 ‘ is… that the regulatory body that licenses structural engineers is what ensures that if your building doesn’t stand up, you can sue someone for that.
