@Linahuaa Bezos must have always been balzy. Cashed out his retirement plan to start up a company based on a then-unproven business concept (internet retail).

Jeff Bezos has the revenge of the nerds trauma.
He was considered a loser dork until age 36.
And even then it took time to get used to his new self as a big billionaire boi.
His old wife fell in love with the smart dork Jeff- and will always view him like that.
He needed to ditch her and marry someone who only sees him as big boi Jeff, and do big boi things with him like flying to space, partying with Leo DiCaprio... and, I dunno... what else do big boi nerds do all day to compensate?

Men think this is an improvement. MacKenzie Scott, Princeton graduate, writing novels at age six, studied under Toni Morrison, founded Amazon, and one of the biggest philanthropists in the history of humanity. Versus.. whatever the fuck this is.

Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next year, but eventually the day will come when political leaders, experts and scientists everywhere, including and particularly the West itself, will be assassinated, one by one, without any hesitation or pretext, the moment any individual or nation becomes too uncomfortable or uncontrollable for the ruling empires.
Maybe then people will start wondering how on earth we arrived at that point.
This is how.

Right. Jazz is music for the musically educated. The only way to appreciate it is to understand the theory and listen to its manifestation in the music. The "discordant" sound becomes enclosures and random solos a basic 2-5-1 pattern.
But then, after a while, you forget the theory and jazz becomes enjoyable for the music.
garfieldbot@robertlasagna1
The jazz question is simple: it's very fun to play, it's not very fun to listen to. To enjoy listening to it you must have a combination of technical skill and vivid imagination and be able to imagine yourself playing. It differs in this way from other high skill genres, which can be passively enjoyed at any technical level. You can train passive musical appreciation and get more out of classical music, or other complex styles, but not so for jazz, because jazz is an inside joke

@CaptAJAB @Apolitical3678 Why would the US/Israel be motivated to create a multipolar world? Wouldn't that be a diminution of power?
English
@Apolitical3678 Sincere question made in good faith - what do you think of the theory that the war is mostly to do with a reset to a multipolar world order and that the attacks/strain being put on critical resources are to usher in an economic reset?
English
This war is not for oil.
It’s not for resources.
It’s not for America’s safety.
It’s not about nukes.
It’s not for American imperialism.
This war is for Israel and jews.
Anyone trying to pretend it is about anything else is lying

@jakeshieldsajj Not really surprising is it? American industrial and agricultural interests have been repeatedly graped since January 2025 as Trump made random tariff announcements so his Chabad buddies could swindle the markets with insider info. Just a small part of a larger trend.

GDP growth in Trump’s capitalist America is 2% annual growth
GDP growth under communist Vietnam is 8.6% annual growth
GDP growth under national socialism in Germany 12%
That is the fastest growing economy in world history

4 out of 5 of CBS's new investigative journalists are Jewish
real subtle, Bari
for example Native Americans and Alaska Natives are 2.5% of the total U.S. population. What are the odds that a newsroom hires a team of investigative journalists that are 80% Eskimo and Cherokee?

This is a key point. Israel as presently manifesting isn’t really a state as we understand the notion. States have borders, Israel does not. States have laws and rule of law, Israel does not in major swaths of the territory. Those are essential characteristics of a state and Israel doesn’t have them.
ergopraxis.bsky.social@ergo_praxis
Real kantian heads understand that the question of Israel's right to exist as any sort of state is a red herring, because Israel is not a State in the sense of a rechsstaat with general law, nominally equal concern for all subjects etc. It's the old mob in control of a territory.

I always find it interesting that Buddha delivered his first post-enlightenment sermon at a location called "Deer Park". Unlike other place names in the Pali Canon, that sounds like it could be a recreation area in my neck of the woods.

@SocialistMMA There's a "she's so pretty!" dynamic with AOC support.
English
AOC voted to essentially make Palestinian activism illegal
Meanwhile white boys from DSA keep gaslighting Palestinians and the movement about them
They are clearly a Zionist op

Notice how it’s always a bunch of white boys from the DSA pushing AOC despite all the Palestinian comrades telling them that she’s a full of shit Zionist who voted to criminalize their activism
Eric Blanc@_ericblanc
fwiw, NYC DSA should enthusiastically endorse AOC and should also publicly call on her to take a stand against all funding for Israel (including "defensive" $)

@shagbark_hick Most Democrats in the population aren't that different from you on the issues.
English
I've said it before:
If Dems gave up their abhorrent and morally indefensible attachment to abortion and homosexuality, I'd likely be a normal Democrat.
I like unions, environmental protections, tastefully unkempt lawns, Cab Franc, oysters, train transit.. etc. But I'm just not ever going to go the other way on the teachings of the Church, ever.
If that puts me in a tense, reluctant union with the mostly wretched and uncivilized bunch that pass for "conservatives" these days, so be it, I guess. (and in a contest between the soda-swilling MAGA "People of Wal-Mart" or the botoxed suburbanite variety of conservative, flip a coin, I fit in with neither type).
Lord knows if I try to go where the liberals are at, of course I'll relish the great bulk of how they live and think -- until I inevitably hear they're "transing" their 3-year-olds and donating to Planned Parenthood.
I dream of the day when "the good life," the civilized life is once again synonymous with the pro-life, pro-family values that built Western Civilization rather than the demonic grostequeries that are now common amongst our liberals.
Until then, I'm destined to be a kind of politically homeless pariah -- Upstate NY's own analogue to Ignatius Reilly. C'est la vie...

Why does English not have a plural “you”?
Well, it’s because “you” is already plural. The singular is “thou”. This was observed grammatically in Old English, when one person was þū and multiple people were ġē, but after the Norman invasion the plural became the polite form of address, and by the 1800s that became the nigh-universal standard.
Nowadays, as a result, we have to reinvent the plural with contractions like “y’all”.
