"I gave him a pardon!"
There's more you can do to a military man than put him in jail.

Is there anyone on the planet Earth who doesn't know Trump is a Republican? I think you could probably go to some African village that doesn't have electricity and they'd know at this point.
The president is in charge of the execution of the laws. I don't see how the judge should be allowed to stick their fingers into messing with that execution. If you want to execute the laws, run for president yourself.

Very real video. Lots of the time you want people to think you're broke and deeply in debt because Crabs in a bucket is real and once people think you have money they're like "oh can I borrow some money?" But it isn't a loan, you'll never see that money again. One good reason not just to be frugal, but humble and not braggadocios when you succeed.

I've been using the amazfit bip for years because my pebble watches all died, but the pebble was head and shoulders better in many ways. More conventional smart watches are actually terrible and non-starters. I'm not charging my watch every night, that's stupid.
Unfortunately one of the constructs partisans of both sides need to recognize is the way both parties make a stink about certain things only when they have no real power to do anything about it. "Vote for us and we'll deal with it", but then you vote for them and they ignore it until they lose bad enough they need your votes again.
Whoever solves this problem would be a hero and a martyr and nobody wants that target on their back -- for most issues tbh.

I don't think I quoted any books. I did borrow Nietzsche's phrase "ubermensch", but I wasn't really even using it in the typical sense.
Some brainstorming here trying to predict the future by understanding the past and present.
Modernism was largely about rationality, empiricism, and cutting away unnecessary elements of things to leave the most meaningful whole. It thrived on building and perpetuating grand narratives and was immersed in objective facts. The first major problem it had was that it was highly successful, building grand narratives such as Marxism, Fascism, National Socialism, and Liberalism which captured the entire world, but each of those narratives were inherently flawed, because as the bible tells us, man cannot live on bread alone, and something claiming to be a "purely rational" world view is not, and the inherent contradictions of something believing it is rational when the whole of it required an underlying basis of irrationality
Postmodernism was largely a reaction to Modernism, and as a result questions grand narratives and objective facts strongly. Postmodern society has 2 major problems imo. First, what it sets out to do -- it mostly sets out to deconstruct and eliminate grand narratives or objective facts. Second, what it does in the hands of the people who get it. It is essentially the self-conscious level of Loevinger's ego development personified. People below that level can use the questioning and self-conscious nature of postmodernism to give them excuses not to follow rules. People at that level still lack good models of people who aren't like them, especially people at a much lower level of ego development and so allow the philosophy to be used to harm, and people above that level of ego development end up discussing things at a level that postmodernism and therefore its establishment adherents are incapable of discussing things. As a rule, people at a lower level of ego development can't comprehend the way of thinking of people at a higher level of ego development than themselves, and it's still a special skill to recognize people at a lower level of development because most people assume others are basically like themselves.
So that would lead to a post-metamodernism (I don't think the oscillation of Metamodernism itself is a good foundation to rest a society, so I'm imagining a superposition model where different elements are laid on top of each other and not necessarily coalesced into a solid synthesis) whose primary purpose would be to find shared frameworks destroyed by postmodernism, while avoiding the negative final outcomes of modernism's absolutism.
This worldview would probably live at either the autonomous level of ego development or begins transitioning towards the integrated level of ego development, which is construct aware and thus would be inherently aware of the limitations of assuming everyone else is at the same level of ego development as you, and so would tolerate people at different levels but would also try to accommodate (but also find ways to regulate) those at lower levels of ego development. I tend to believe that a core goal of the ideology would be trying to get individuals to the very highest level of development they can so they can become part of the "ubermensch" class that can actually process post-metamodernism, because as people rise in ego development level and rise closer to using "true post-metamodernism" the more likely they're perceived to be reaching personal fulfilment of self-actualization or beyond. It does mean that people who are seen as at a lower level (this doesn't necessarily have to be explicitly like "oh you're at level 6 of Loevinger's model", instead it's just an understanding that the people can't yet carry superpositions of paradoxical ideas yet) are treated somewhat paternalistically, they're not seen as fully human because they can't comprehend how to think in the contemporary way.

Funny story.
Our daycare isn't run by an illegal immigrant. It's run by a girl whose family has probably been in this country for hundreds of years. She learned how to run a daycare from her mother, who also runs a daycare in this city.
But interesting thing. Thanks in part to Trudeau's immigration policy which has filled every available space with people from other countries, this young lady is shutting down her daycare, and shes leaving the city she was born and raised in. He's doing that because she can't find a place to live and run her business at essentially any reasonable price.
Food for thought when the rich and powerful on the left go on TV to bemoan their poor unloved indentured servant class who pick their cotton and raise their kids for them. Many stories have more than one side.

They think they're not Redditors because they left reddit but they never really left.
Linus was on Jimmy Fallon the other week, now they're putting out videos like this. I have to assume that LTT is about 3 days from bankruptcy and they're doing whatever they can to keep the lights on at this point. I assume next we'll start seeing "15 harry potter facts nobody knows (#4 will shock you)" coming down the pipe. RIP ltt
If the AI bubble pops (and I do think it will) how many of the mag 7 collapse immediately?
Just like Trudeau up here: shit on the president for years then it's all shock when there's consequences.
These people are stupid.
