  • Exactly. The gaping hole in the judicial system exposed by both Trump and Musk is that it takes forever for any consequences to arise, and you can just delay and appeal and delay until you get a buyable judge.

    Musk is winding up to meddle in another election. Like oh no, oh golly gosh, he did something naughty last time. What the fuck are you going to do to stop him doing that again? Fuck all.

    I’ve never been to America, but most restaurants with foreign cuisine face this problem and solve it the same way: if a customer asks for medium spice, the chef needs to know whether the customer wants the local or foreign scale.

    There’s no implication that mild is hotter than American very spicy, you’re looking at two separate scales.














  • only remember things that reinforce the way you think or believe

    If you want to maintain the belief that Aboriginals are magical managers of the natural environment, you have to forget all of the species that disappeared when they arrived.

    After 60,000 years of man-made fires, the only species left are those which were resistant, or could adapt. To consider those remaining species and conclude that native bushland benefits from regular fire is the textbook definition of a cognitive bias, because you have to disregard all the species which no longer exist.
