I saw a Delorean in the parking lot of a pizza place where I was picking up dinner. I’ve seen many before, but not in this good of a condition! I even joked to no one in particular that a time traveler from 1985 must’ve wanted pizza!
@Tim_Eagon Weirdly there was a really good condition Delorean here at the weekend outside a Fish and Chip stall. There is no logical reason for that to happen except Doc and Marty were abusing time travel to get fast food on two different continents and making sure it was still warm.
Imagine willfully and purposely abandoning #reason, #logic and the shared common #reality by which the rest of the world chooses to interact to the point where an entire #political#party publishes this "press release?"
How embarrassing!
Disgraced former president and convicted #felon Donald J. #Trump has been lashing out with vitriol, emotional dysregulation, and flat out #lies and #dangerous#rhetoric since the verdict was made public (and quite frankly before any of his trials even started). He has clearly demonstrated to the entire #world he is the personification of a leaky colostomy bag.
#Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection w/a #HushMoney payment made to a porn star to influence the 2016 election. The case could be in the jury’s hands as early as Wed.
#Blanche says that #Trump wasn’t known for overpaying, & testimony suggested #MichaelCohen didn’t deserve to be paid much for his campaign work, particularly #HopeHicks's testimony that Cohen occasionally went “rogue”.
Blanche: “That’s not exactly a glowing performance evaluation that justifies a larger bonus.”
At the same time, Blanche argues the $420k Trump did pay Cohen was for unspecified #legal work.
"The annual Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC) is seldom subtle. This year they aren’t just saying the quiet part out loud — they are screaming it.
At a panel session Wednesday, right-wing conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec said without irony or sarcasm, 'I just wanted to say, welcome to the end of democracy.'"

So CPAC wants America to become Saudi Arabia, Iran, or Afghanistan except they want to still eat pork.
Anyone who claims gods, demons, fairies, leprechauns, unicorns or any other imaginary creatures are real is welcome to their belief and can have all the meetings and celebrations they want in support of their belief. Freedom of religion. However, since they are clearly delusional, they should not be allowed to hold any government job, hired, elected or appointed. Separation of church and state. Anyone who can't even grasp the difference between fantasy and reality, has no place in government.
Am I the only one who unequivocally thinks that philosophy has made progress? Perhaps I have a different definition of what progress means, but surely I can't be the only one?
The number of theories and arguments that philosophers uncovered, as well as the clarity and breadth of their analyses, is certainly progress.
"After introducing plural logic and its main applications, the book provides a systematic analysis of the relation between this logic and other theoretical frameworks such as set theory, mereology, higher-order logic, and modal logic."
