For you youngsters, this is the moral equivalent of we must destroy the village in order to save the village. For what it’s worth, it didn’t work during the Vietnam war it’s not going to work this time either. #HeartsAndMinds

A quotation from John Adams

As to the history of the Revolution, my Ideas may be peculiar, perhaps Singular. What do we mean by the Revolution? The War? That was no part of the Revolution; it was only an Effect and Consequence of it. The Revolution was in the Minds of the People, and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen Years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington.

John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
Letter (1815-08-24) to Thomas Jefferson

Personal suggestion for accelerating the demise of theocracy in Iran:

Fly over the country dropping plane-loads of cigarettes, bourbon, and porn.

All:
- Vilified by the ayatollahs
- Craved by the general populace
- Comparatively low-cost (especially now bourbon, thank you tariffs cratering the export market)

Rather than trying to bomb people into submission, give them more than a taste of what their religious overlords are denying them

Americans are gullible and have eaten every Russian meme and message from the #InternetResearchAgency without resistance. It is a total wipeout of hearts and minds since March 2013.

So MS are the lower-friction option for getting students doing stuff on the cloud (they offer free credits with no credit card needed, unlike Goog, AWS). I was looking to get into the GitLab for Education scheme. You must be a degree-issuing institution to get on that program. Guess which other distributed version control SaaS provider offers their service to *any* education establishment (schools included)? #BaitAndSwitch #HeartsAndMinds #EmbraceExtendExtinguish #NeverForgetNeverForgive

Jesus must have pulled all his remaining hair out.

And no, it's NOT funny at all.
Poison is not funny (on any side of the political divide).

BBC article:
Young US men are joining Russian churches promising 'absurd levels of manliness'

"It's kind of funny. It's almost as if the old American Puritans and their craziness is resurfacing."
