moving freely about the country is a right. Driving is a privilege. Tempest tea pot stuff. 

@emmreef

voting for a third-party, gives you the opportunity to perform as if you have intellectual depth.

Apocalypticism has been a best seller since Gutenberg.

The AG is “looking into” media matters as an obvious attempt to reinforce the manufacture of the right wing consent. A bullshit headline grab with sound and fury signifying nothing. 

@severud@social.vivaldi.net

without AI we couldn’t predict hurricanes and other dangerous weather activity, and we wouldn’t be able to generate the climate models that demonstrate our headlong charge into global warming...so AI has that going for it? 

@dsilverman

they were sick and tired of paying all those liberal taxes in California!

Yep. One tunnel does not a “network”make.  And are there any bodies? Presumably, hitting a network of tunnels (or even one tunnel) would generate multiple casualties following a bombing campaign.

And oh, the fucking water is polluted! There aren’t any fucking fish in the first place!

“if all of the disputed territory became Israel, would the new citizens of Israel be given the vote?”
Israel “uhh...you mean, democracy?”

It’s not only corporations or those in power that are responsible for the manufacture of consent. Often times, consent can be manufactured by and within subcultures. It’s all very tricky.

When my eight year old eggshell of a mind couldn’t quite figure out how this cardboard doughy thing turned into Jesus’s body and the wine i never got to drink turned into his blood.

The hoodwink was almost embarrassing to me.

As a real American, quite frankly, fuck the Bible. If you’re an elected official in our secular democracy in need of a position on an issue, read the constitution. Our country is based on laws, not beliefs. 

When I hear the term “Jewish state” I cringe. Like it or not, the term feels like the white supremacist notion of an ethnostate and is counter to anything resembling the idea of a democracy. Using the term “Jewish state” sets up a semantic muddle that makes it difficult for non-Jews to be clear about the country’s intentions. Are they interested in democracy? Or are they interested in an exclusionary state based on religious belief? My cultural experience with the 1st amendment gives me pause.
