it will be a real escalation of the troll wars when Iran issues an evacuation warning for NYC.
English the language seems still on the rise despite the collapse of the anglosphere as aspirational.
in practice isn’t the “appeal to heaven” usually an appeal to hell?

@artcollisions if they do, you can have another free post. i'm not a monster.
You'd think the big, America First interest in an Israel-Iran War would be its containment, ensuring it does not expand to become a resource-draining commitment or a larger conflagration that threatens American lives and property.
This is your last free post.
they called it the web without ever saying who's the spider, who's the fly.
they called it reels, but who's the fish, who's the worm, who's the man with the big long barbed rod?
this post is an evacuation order for planet earth. if you choose to disregard this warning, well, that’s on you.
we’re flying and i just had to reassure my kid it’ll be an airbus. not from me, from news or youtubes or whatever he’s become fearful of boeings.
@beadsland make’s sense.
today i saw four geese crossing at a crosswalk like abbey road.
Your coupon expires today.

very perceptive from @scott https://scott.mn/2025/06/11/consultant_mindset_jarrett_walker_free_buses/
Text: When cities and transit agencies bring in Walker's firm, the assignment is: "Our budget is X million dollars. How can we best use this fixed budget to deliver service?" Even the best consultant? has to work within such terms. A consultant who retorts, "Your budget is too small for a world-class system. You need to go to the voters and politicians for better funding," wouldn't get hired again. That's not their job. Walker's error is to project that same role onto voters in a democracy.

@admitsWrongIfProven @OpenComputeDesign @light if we can name the harm as we experience it, i’d say that’s enough.
the two party system has become the fascists and everyone-else-not-fascist.
it’s not surprising that the former has something of an advantage in coherence.
