I know what it does and that's why I haven't ever used it.

Yeah who the fuck could've predicted, right? The living hostages are returned and then Israel stomps the boot back down.

And they killed more Palestinians.

But "we brought peace", sure.

Alt: george w bush standing in front of the "mission accomplished" banner on a big US aircraft carrier, when the mission was famously NOT accomplished. if you were not alive at the time, the US invaded Iraq and he gave this speech 6 weeks in, in my 2003. the war went on until december 2011.

WHERE'S THE CAT

Yup. :\

Right. How the fuck are they supposed to ensure they return the remains when Israel *caused at least some of those deaths by bombing them*.

They squeaked in one single picture of a child hugging someone on a bus. No names. Presumably related, but why even knows.

After 3 beautiful close-ups of families being reunited in Israel, names all given.

We are over 10 minutes now on coverage of the hostages being reunited with their families.

There was honestly a less than 30-second spot showing some of the buses coming in with Palestinians.

1700 people were held with no charges or convictions.

No happy videos of reunification there.

valloween @trickycrayon.bsky.social · 23h

Well they're off because it's that and Shemini Atzeret.

I hope they're feeling some peace.

valloween @trickycrayon.bsky.social · 23h

Would say that work could be interesting tomorrow but it's Simchat Torah so my Israeli coworkers are off.

valloween @trickycrayon.bsky.social · 23h

It means that Israel gets their hostages home. That's good.

It means that some Palestinians who were being held unlawfully with no charges also get to go home, to what's left of it. That's...not bad.

But it doesn't mean that there's a path to Palestinian statehood or that the war is over.

valloween @trickycrayon.bsky.social · 23h

And this joke of an idea that it means the war is over...there is nothing to keep Israel from doing whatever the fuck they want.

Trump is already not talking about two-state solutions, they say, even though it's part of his plan.

valloween @trickycrayon.bsky.social · 23h

The hostage is coming home is a good thing. Don't get me wrong.

But the idea that Palestinians were being held lawfully is nonsensical and so little time in this newscast has been spent on anything about Palestinian lives?

MAYBEEEEEE

Mostly I like being out in the rain like this but also have the ADHD boredom brain stuff that happens if I try to just sit still and do nothing lol

Just been sitting in my car listening to the rain and arguing with people on Reddit

If you live in Massachusetts and you are driving around today without your lights on, I hope you get out of your car and step into a fucking puddle.

Everyone has gray or black or white cars. The weather is fucking gray and rainy. Running lights do not make you visible from the back.

On the one hand, it seems nice to be able to get a bag of fluids if you're dehydrated. On the other hand, it seems like they're all fucking snake oil nonsense bullshit about detoxing and increasing your metabolism and shit?

Driving around this lovely blustery October day, went by the animal shelter to return of bag of treats that I accidentally stole (not that they cared), getting a pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks...and I see...a fucking IV bar in the same plaza now???
