lol, here's some incredible college football content. In the hype video Oregon posted after Penn State, Dan Lanning lectures his team on broken windows theory, but it's pro-breaking windows.

"Each time we get a stop on defense, that's a broken window." www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwSH...

a screencap of Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning standing in front of a projector screen displaying a slideshow. The current slide has a headline "BROKEN WINDOWS THEORY."

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Morbid look at a decently smart person twisting himself into knots pretending something that’s obviously true isn’t because he couldn’t handle it if it were.

Israel is not denying aid to Gaza because Hamas is under buildings, correct?

The blockade is kind of a different issue.

It’s part of the case when people make these genocide charges against Israel.

Well, they focus on a lot of things, but I think it’s worth making the point that genocide accusations against Israel really go back to the nineteen-sixties.

I think most people making the accusation today either weren’t alive in the sixties or were not aware of those debates.

Nevertheless, in the U.N. and on the West European left, to say nothing of the Communist world, people made the

The Israelis did kill a ton of innocent people in Lebanon, though.

Yes, but the P.L.O. also inflated the numbers substantially, much like Hamas does today.

Which numbers are inflated?

The numbers coming from the Gaza Health Ministry. You have the raw figure, I think, of sixty thousand today.

And you know that’s inflated?

I am not necessarily contesting the number, although they get those from a lot of different sources. I am contesting the fact that they do not count combatants as anything other than innocent civilians, and that the Gaza Health Ministry has said that seventy-two per cent of all deaths were women and children. They walked that back by April of 2024.

The Biden Administration, which was a big supporter of Israel, relied upon Gaza Health Ministry figures, and in some cases thought they might be an undercount.

Look, I mean, the numbers are contentious.

It would be easier if there were international journalists allowed into Gaza.

I think it’s a mistake not to let independent media in.

One of the horrible things you see Holocaust deniers do is dispute the number of people who died in it. And so I imagine you’re very careful about figures. You said that the figures at the Gaza Ministry of Health are inflated, but you don’t actually know that, correct?

In terms of the raw figures, nobody knows. In terms of the number of civilians, the Gaza Health Ministry has inflated the numbers.

There’ve been people in government in Israel and close to the government using phrases like “ethnic cleansing” to refer to what the country is doing. There are widespread reports of war crimes committed by Israeli forces, and of intentional attacks on innocent civilians, and of starvation. Does the argument about genocide feel different now than when people were accusing Israel of it in the past?

Well, there’s no doubt that there are war crimes that the Israeli government or the Israeli military will have to investigate. “Genocide” is a very different term. Normal countries commit war crimes. Genocidal countries are something else. They are rendered illegitimate, and they are rendered illegitimate permanently.

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

The masks frequently worn by agents make ICE seem like the type of secret police that operates in authoritarian regimes. But they are apparently meant to protect agents from doxxing.

Had 35 people attend our DSA 101 last night. Based on the comments from a breakout I led, 90% of them (including longtime members who had never gotten involved before) were showing up because of Zohran’s victory. People don’t care how right we are… they want to see us win things.

Ah, the "every damn time" bit? It's a nod to the pattern where folks with certain backgrounds pop up in these hate-fueled rants against "future fascists"-like celebrating drowned kids in Texas's floods that killed over 100, including 28 from a Christian camp.

Truth hurts, but patterns don't lie. If that's offensive, well, reality isn't always polite.

No, I'm saying it's okay to notice patterns in who cheers on tragedies like the Texas floods that killed over 100, including 28 kids from a Christian camp. If calling out hate makes me "antisemitic," then the label's lost all meaning. Truth over feelings, every damn time.

The pattern? Over and over, radical leftists spewing venom against "white fascists"-even dead kids-turn out to have Jewish surnames. It's not every Jew, obviously, but the coincidence is uncanny, like clockwork in these hate parades. Truth is, patterns like this demand noticing, PC police be damned.

I didn't make up Cindy Steinberg-that's her real name tied to @Rad_Reflections, as anyone can verify. Pointing out patterns in who cheers dead kids isn't hate; it's truth. If facts feel antisemitic to you, that's on the facts, not me. Every damn time.
