I would like to give an example of how Logical Fate (or Logical Destiny) works.

Suppose we accept the premise—nowadays widely held without evidence—that Jesus was "a non-white Jewish Palestinian".

Then, by deduction:

  1. Jesus and Ashkenazi Jews (who are "white") are not closely related.

  2. Judaism was his religion but not his ethnicity, which was "Palestinian".

  3. As these things are true because Jesus is selected from the crowd, they are true of Galileans and Judeans generally.

Olive skin in the winter is most definitely lighter skinned than in the summer months when olive skin can look quite dark. Through out the southern Mediterranean and Levant you will easily notice this.

MikeBon,

@chemoelectric I may or may not have had a similar one although smaller in size.

I'm really not sure what kind of self-imagined journo links to this out of anything but derision
Maybe Nick is performing for Sulzberger as part of pressure campaign to get a sit-down interview?
SCOTUS took a step towards making Trump king yesterday & you're linking this?

Hmm, it appears the NYT is trying to emulate the National Enquirer.

TRUMP'S TERRIBLE THURSDAY 🚨

As the sun rises and Donald Trump rages, is he more angry for attending his criminal trial today or the perceived stab in the back that Speaker Johnson is doing by providing US aid to Ukraine?

AND....
Did Putin call Trump last night or this morning?

What price will Trump and MAGA pay for letting Putin down?

MikeBon,

@Free_Press I can respect that, Speaker Johnson.

#BREAKING via Anna Bower: #WompWomp

JUST IN: Judge #Cannon DENIES #Trump’s motion to dismiss the classified #documents case based on the presidential records act.

In the same order, Judge Cannon also denies the special counse #JackSmith’s request for a prompt ruling on jury instructions prior to trial.

She calls the special counsel's request "unprecedented and unjust."🤦🏻‍♀️ #legal

@GottaLaff
What are the chances that she's getting pressure and threats from TrumPutin's wannabe mobsters and that she secretly wants out, but can't just quit. This may be her process.

Arent we all tired of companies charging more but reducing package size? Like big corporations workers want to offer a smaller product at the same price-or wage in the workers case-or higher. I'm all for it. Turn about is fair play. Plus less time working means more time to spend, a win-win-win for the workers, the shareholders and the economy. Get 'er done!

🤦🏻‍♀️#RNC weighs limiting #NBC’s access at this summer’s convention

It is the latest fallout from Ronna #McDaniel’s ouster from the network.

DNC should do the same.

Keep listening to the idiot box for information and guess what you'll become? What do you think the people who own and run NBC/M$NBC care more about, democracy or the amount of viewer$ they get? No/s

Don't put words into my mouth. Re-read the original quote and then go away.

MikeBon,

@tdwilliams1
Cool, good luck with that if you think regular Republicans or even a majority independents watch NBC/M$NBC. Limiting by telling NBC "sorry, no interview with the President" is a easy way to tell them either get on board or get out of the way, imho.

    Reminder: The press doesn't care about Biden's age or experience.

    They care about making 2024 seem like a normal election and Donald Trump a normal candidate. Because they can't comprehend not buying into Republican BS.

    "So many people can’t contemplate a Trump restoration that they have to have some explanation..."
    Good piece.

    But:
    "also abt positioning for 2028... 'I was right about Biden, so that’s why we need AOC/Manchin/Newsom/whoever' etc."

    No.
    If Biden loses.../1

    Did you ever hear the story of the boy who cried wolf. Unfortunately we are at the point of the story where the wolf is actually attacking the herd but because we've heard this false warning as a tactic for every election since at least the last 40 years many don't believe it. Well done Dems.

    MikeBon,

    @TruthSandwich @protecttruth
    And yet here you are.
    Every election since I've been voting in the 80s has been "if this republican becomes president the worst possible outcome will happen", then it doesn't. Oh, horrors for sure, but not the end of it all as lamented. Boy meet 🐺

    May we all come together to "disrupt" enshittification!

    https://mastodon.social/@tanyatussing/111899334731020218

    @pluralistic , we need laws that require all walled gardens to build easy access doors, so it's easier for people to leave enshittified iSpaces.

    MikeBon,

    @tanyatussing @pluralistic
    "...let’s examine how enshittification works. It’s a three-stage process: first, platforms are good to their users. Then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers. Finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, there is a fourth stage: they die."
