The military almost put its foot down when the executive branch told them to kick out all the trans soldiers. I wonder if they will actually do it this time?
Military bans permanent shaving waivers, which are predominantly used by people with pseudofolliculitis barbae, which predominantly affects black men, and the article discusses the possibility of laser hair removal, which also infamously is not as effective on dark skin! Wow!
So why even place it in the media? Why not just do what they do in Lebanon and strike without warning and announce the results later?
If the goal is to destroy cultural heritage sites then it makes sense to prime Americans to expect it and be okay with it before you do it.

If you don't want high wages then you need low cost of living. There is no one who understands the economy less than a small-business owner.
I mean, there are people telling New York Jews to move to Israel, "the only safe place for Jews in the world," quite literally days after it got its ass handed to it by Iranian missiles. Sure, in some cases it's complete derangement, but also:
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

depressing rant about personhood
Doppelgänger fiction is depressing because the angst characters have that others only like the mask and not the self is just true, and the trope where another character realizes there's an impersonator is just cope. No one expects a doppelgänger, so a convincing impersonation is not even necessary. While humans are biosocial beings, under any organization of society where embodiment is critical to its functions, "person" becomes nearly synonymous with "body". So it is not even necessarily the "role" a doppelgänger must take on convincingly. The most important "role" a person plays is just their physical presence. Actual behavior can be quite inconsistent!
Written a couple days after watching Episode 14 of Ergo Proxy via proxy, ha.
So anyway this is why we must all aspire to be more like Fai Rodis from the hit untranslated novel Bull's Hour.
If natural disasters are going to occur and intensify from human activity you're (American state) responsible for and you're not going to do anything to mitigate them, it's better to just not acknowledge it whatsoever I guess?
