Of all people never expected Blanchard to take such a moronic stand on this issue. He seems to confuse freeze and seize. I’ll tell you so what. You will soon find out the what. It’s a case of fuck around and find out. It’s quite shocking to see the US undermine day after day the…

Radicals, stalkers, terrorists, and conspiracy theorists are losers. Some of them are insane, but many of them are just people who have no lives. The Palestine Liberation Organization encountered this fact when they disarmed Black September. Here's how they did it:

🧵THREAD🧵 Do you remember how bad the media’s “Covid lab leak” - the hypothesis that the virus came from a lab - coverage was? I thought I did. But it was a more dramatic example of uniform media malpractice than even I remembered. So I revisited it. Buckle in, it’s long. ⤵️
The lack of data and information sharing occurring here is disgraceful and inexcusable. The global scientific community is eager to leverage what we've learned from the last pandemic—at devastating cost to us all—to prevent another one. The government needs to help, not hinder.
I am frequently asked to comment on "lessons learned" from SARS-CoV-2. Now I have yet another example of a critical lesson that has decidedly not been learned: if there's an emerging pandemic threat, you leverage all your resources to respond as fast and effectively as possible.
We know that if you don't want an outbreak to become an epidemic or a pandemic, it needs to be contained quickly. This news further shows that it has neither been contained and there is no evident rush to do so. This is both alarming and profoundly depressing.
Great piece. Cant overstate how important @brian_armstrong , @dhh and folks like @balajis were at that time. Important that this never gets memory-holed.

The ‘belief’ that you can limit a war that the participants see as existential to a bit of a regional, military punch-up is just that: a product of a belief system not a rational strategic appreciation. And if you reveal you can so dupe yourself, your enemy will have a field day.
