@jeosg7393 @HoppyIchikawa — is if enough Americans are hurt badly by this foolish war. I don’t want my friends and family to be hurt, but if we rest on a bed made of the deaths of other countries, how can I sleep? Your kind concern for my country is matched by my concern for yours, and all others. ❤️

@jeosg7393 @HoppyIchikawa It’s a strange place. On the one side, America is big and rich enough that we might not get hurt as bad as other countries. Domestic oil and plastic production insulates us from some of the shock. But I worry the only way Trump can be forced to step back —

結局、トランプ政権は「今は停戦中だから戦争中じゃないから60日ルールに抵触しませんから撤退しません」と言い張る事で戦争継続することになったようで、トランプが早期に戦争終結する事に全賭けしてる高市総理と、総理に全賭けしてる国民と、それに合わせるしか無いオレはどうすればええんやろね

@jeosg7393 @HoppyIchikawa I hope I am wrong, but that’s how it’s been going so far. Prepare for a long war and a bad summer, like I am doing.

@jeosg7393 @HoppyIchikawa My guess is that Congress will say “guess it seems fine now, too late to worry.” If the judiciary gets involved by lawsuit, they will say “see, Congress says it’s fine and they have the power to stop it anyway, not me.” End result, Trump does whatever he wants, as usual.

Capitalism is the problem. Let me show you. They won't build houses, because that's bad for rental income. They won't build renewable energy, because that is bad for fossil fuel profits. They won't provide Universal Healthcare, because Private Healthcare is so profitable.

凄まじい詭弁。日本が武器輸出が出来る『同志国』を決めるのは日本ではなく、米国。あくまでも米国が許した国に、米国のライセンス品の武器を作って輸出するだけであり、日本は一人前の「死の商人」として儲けることすらも出来ない、恥知らずな「下請け」に過ぎない。

If Cuba is such a failure, why has the U.S. gone so far to try to collapse it? For six decades, the U.S. has tried and failed. Now, the U.S. government is literally trying to use starvation as a weapon to punish 10 million Cubans. This can only be rationalized through dishonesty.

The replies to this person's tweet lack a nuanced understanding of aesthetics. Let me tell you why I don't think this room works. First, the gold decorations make the room look like an ersatz Versailles. Go to Getty Images and type in "Oval Office." Then zoom in on the gold decor. You'll notice that the lines are very blunted and muddied; they lack the sharp lines and fine detailing that you'd expect on something made by an artisan. Hence why some people have suggested these decorations are from Home Depot (true or not, that's the impression). You can see the difference between the first and second photos. The first, of course, is of the Oval Office; the second is the reception room from the Hotel de Cabris in France, which was made during the 18th century under the direction of Louis XVI. Even at this distance, the second image looks much better because it was designed and executed by artisans working within a coherent visual language. You can really see the crisp lines and detailing. Second, the White House was designed by James Hoban, an Irish architect who migrated to the US for economic opportunities (what a great American story!). He originally designed it in the Neoclassical style, drawing on Palladian and Georgian influences. Neoclassicalism was a reaction against the Rococo movement, which reactionaries saw as overly ornate and frivolous. A bit of gold used sparingly and strategically can look fine in a Neoclassical building, but the amount Trump used has so radically encrusted the room that it's now in Rococo territory, making it look like a mismatch of aesthetics. You can see an example of gilded Rococo architecture in the third slide. Although it's not my thing, the effect is totally different because it's coherent. IMO, architecture sets the terms for you can decorate a space. Modernist furniture looks best in modernist buildings, just as Craftsman furniture looks best in Craftsman homes (see fourth slide). You don't have to do period recreations — sometimes mixing two aesthetics, or old and new, can make a space feel more natural — but having a sense of aesthetic history (art, architecture, furniture, fashion) can help you create better aesthetics. The Oval Office offends on at least three levels: the ersatz nature of the decor, the way it grates against Hoban’s Neoclassical vision, and the way it misunderstands the classical-republican symbolism that the White House was meant to project in the first place. As others have noted, this is the kind of decor you'd expect from dictators who rob their own country.

日本の一次産業を潰せば、アメリカから、質の悪い高値の商品を購入させることができ、 さらに、そのせいで日本国民が病気になると、外資の製薬メーカーが大儲けでき、 そして、皆保険を壊滅させれば、外資の保険会社が大儲けでき、 この魔のスパイラルによる高市と自民党による利権で、連中はウハウハ私腹を肥やせるからね。

China says it does not recognize US sanctions on Iranian oil purchases and will not comply with them.

"Vamos a tomar Cuba inmediatamente, en cuanto acabemos con Irán, enviaremos uno de nuestros portaaviones frente a la costa de Cuba y rápidamente ellos se rendirán". El genocida oligofrénico de Trump, que ayer dijo que era un hombre de paz y paró 8 guerras, hoy amenazó a Cuba con invadirla inmediatamente, en cuanto acabe de agredir a Irán, donde es incapaz ni siquiera de acercarse a la costa. Este subsimio demente es un peligro para la humanidad, no para de provocar guerras y agredir pueblos, a la misma vez que dice que el Comité del Premio Nobel le felicita por lo que está haciendo.

"Nos hemos apoderado de barcos petroleros y de su carga, es un negocio muy rentable, somos como piratas. En el Golfo de México tenemos el 92% del frente marítimo, pensé en cambiarle el nombre a Golfo de Trump". El ladrón de Trump admitió que EEUU está robando barcos petroleros y comportándose como piratas saqueadores que son, además intentó ridiculizar a México diciendo que el Golfo le pertenece a EEUU y le quiso poner su nombre personal a modo de humillación. Esta es la cara real del imperio, en su estado de descomposición, se acabaron ya las caretas de ir de "demócratas", son piratas saqueadores y lo dicen en la cara de todo el mundo.

もうこれさ、節約でどうにかなる範囲を ゆうに超えてる気がする... ・スーパーで少し買うと3,000円 ・外食は1,000円以下を探す方が難しい ・コンビニは“ついで買い”がもう贅沢 ・電気代は請求を見るたび身構える ・家賃も更新のたびにじわじわ上がる ・日用品まで全部しれっと値上げ 生活の難易度だけ上がってるのに、 給料はびっくりするほど変わらない。 贅沢したいわけじゃない。 普通に働いて、普通に食べて、 普通に暮らしたいだけ。 それすら厳しい社会って、 さすがにおかしくないですか？

There is a reason the most aggressive anti-union campaigns in American history were conducted under the banner of anti-communism. Because the people running those campaigns understood something the workers didn't: Unions are the domestic version of the same impulse that made Vietnam nationalize its resources and Bolivia try to control its tin and Iran try to control its oil. We produced this. We want a fair share of what we produced. That sentence, spoken by a Vietnamese farmer or an Ohio autoworker, is the same sentence. It has the same political content. It threatens the same class of people. So the same class of people built an ideology that made those two speakers see each other as enemies. And funded the politicians who made that ideology into law and foreign policy and war. This is not just economic analysis. It is the most important political fact of the twentieth century.

@peterehrlich1 Believe me, that’s on my mind. Florida’s shitass economy makes it tough, but I’ve got eyes on cheap inland towns if needed.

Move to high ground?

#Japan — Police attacked protests against the far-right government in Tokyo.

「ナフサ枯渇」では大衆は動かない。 「飯が売ってない」で初めて社会問題化する。 怖いのは枯渇そのものより、 空の棚の画像がキャズムを超えさせること。 73年のトイレットペーパー騒動が完全にこれやった。 実在庫じゃなく「空の棚の写真」が全国の需要を爆発させた。 供給ショックじゃなく認知ショックが本体。 で、今回の加速度は73年比で別物。 73年はテレビ・新聞で数日〜1週間かけて広がった。 今はX/TikTokで時間単位。 → 一本バズったら全国のスーパーで同じ画像が量産される。 キャズム超えの速度、桁が違うよな。
