Great moments in history
Maybe American journalists should reflect on the courage of Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi.

Honestly the junkie friends I had in high school who were buying RCs off the darkweb would've been better as head of HHS than RFK *while they were at rock bottom.*
I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

When I look at the folks who’ve been riled up to insanity by their social media lives encouraging them to double, triple, & 64-ple down on bigotry, I can feel pretty emotional. A thread about the grace of God that I never fell down that way

I'm anxious about being in Hawaiʻi and I just realized why. In Honolulu, where a car is needed to get around, I often agonize about when to go out so I'm not stuck in traffic. In London or Paris, I just go because I cycle everywhere and cars on the road don't impact my travel times. #CarsRuinCities

I feel like Doctor Who fans can provide some insight here. One of the worst eras of the show was dominated by a production team (esp. Saward & Levine) obsessing over continuity consistency, focussed more on fitting jigsaw pieces together than on interesting stories & characters
No. The correct way to understand this is to stop trying to make things fit together. You can watch different people playing Sherlock Holmes, in entirely different stories, without trying to make it add up. Stories are a dressing up box, not a jigsaw.

And some of those folks within that group of folks sometimes said some pretty racist things about whether Arabs were capable (!) of living in a democracy. Not all, but enough to make me really uncomfortable
One of the reasons I dropped out of left organizing here in Canada was because many everyday activists were becoming very anti-Ukraine & pro-Putin because they considered any opponent of the US as anti-imperialist. I was even dealing with pro-Assad & pro-Trump folks in left organizing.

If the Enron echoes around Nvidia's situation is more than empty whispers, maybe the issue is how all their buyers' chip purchases ended up being financed. If the purchases let them say they have money on the books, but the buyer financing collapses & they get no cash. Thoughts, @edzitron.com?

A fascinating look at what may have been ancient genocidal violence or civil war social breakdown in Central Europe 7000 years ago. Nice reading for my work break, I guess.
In addition to being a fascinating (if horrific) insight into a mostly-unknown period of European prehistory, this includes a BANGER of a quote: "I can see why all these people without heads wouldn’t be good for a community, and might be a cause for abandonment."

The fascist right will never drop its anti-Ukraine stance, because they want to see Russian aggression succeed.
But can the smaller yet quite vocal anti-anti-Russia left—Chomsky, Quincy Institute, Lula, etc—finally admit that blaming the war on the US and “they won’t even negotiate” were misguided?

This is the same mean-spirited argument libertarian trolls used to post in my Facebook comment threads 15 years ago, that blames parents living in poverty for their own poverty, & says what's disgusting about people living in poverty is that government offers them help.

The Jewish communities of Toronto that I was connected to in the 2010s were deeply influenced by Birthright Israel, & Hurwitz’s implication was their exact view of the Holocaust: that it proved all people’s eternal hatred of Jews, so Jewish people had a right to use all violence in self-defence
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."
