it was obvious from the moment the attack happened that this was not only a tragedy for Israel but was going to become a tragedy for Palestine, and I still remember who was cheering it on.

If you were online on October 7, 2023, this is no surprise.

Overshadowed by the fact that Israel retaliated with a genocidal war is the reality that amid the attack seemingly professional/moral people spent days praising every report they found of Israelis, including children, being murdered.

This is a person who is still taken seriously and published in left-wing spaces.

To be clear: No, most Israeli Jews are not descended from Polish Jews. And even for the minority who are, it would obviously not be safe for them all to go there now, given the Polish government.

Rare good news. All flights using Russian airspace should be banned from the EU and any country not backing Russia. Every overflight puts money in Putin's hands and disadvantages western airlines.

Seth Miller @wandrme.paxex.aero · 24m

The US now proposes to block all Chinese flights that use Russian airspace, with just 30 days warning. The Chinese airlines are unhappy.

"Specifically, the Department proposes to prohibit...Chinese air carriers from utilizing Russian airspace in their passenger or combination services." #avgeek

Seth Miller @wandrme.paxex.aero · Oct 27

US and Chinese carriers are now up to 35 r/t flights between the countries on each side of their bilateral. Still way below what the treaty calls for, but growing.

Will be interesting to see what Russian overflight does or does not happen.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

You have chosen to bring into your home another living thing that relies on you for food, shelter, social fulfillment, and care.

You are a monster if you accept those terms and then decide to exercise cruelty on that animal. You belong in hell.

Without making an overt claim about the present drama, I’ll say that people who abuse their pets are scum and should be publicly vilified in the strongest and most relentless possible terms.

DISRUPTION is an overused term that is slippery enough to mean whatever the speaker wants.

In the world of brick-and-mortar experience design, buzzworthy mantras don’t map 1:1, and are glittering generalities unless tied to a measurable goal.

If “disruption” is your whole plan, it isn’t a plan.

I sense a lot of appetite in our experience design industry for DISRUPTION. Disruption is a vibe, not a value. It's a sexy, overused term that is slippery enough to mean whatever the speaker want...

There was never going to be a moment when everyone—everyone in government, everyone in media, everyone in the population—was roused to action at the same time. We're turning a battleship. And Pritzker understands that.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 4h

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

1. Social media is now 5% following friends and 95% watching videos made by strangers.
2. Every podcast is turning into a YouTube show.
3. AI companies can't stop building TikTok clones.

Everything is becoming television.

I wrote about why that matters.

So this is the difficulty. Not just how do we get to a deal, but how do we get to a deal we trust will be honored when Johnson is here *promising* to let Trump impound and take back whatever he wants from what they pass?

We’re all done with their bullshit.

Because it is bullshit.

It’s hassling a Black Woman. It’s being abusive to Democrats.

They’ve never once had the balls to confront 47 or any republican.

Plus it’s all about being antisemitic.

The biggest problem with Sora as a social platform isn't the copyright or misinfo. It's that it's full of Jake Paul fans www.businessinsider.com/sora-videos-...

Sora 2 is drawing a huge crowd of teenage boys. This doesn't bode well — trust me.

Sora 2 seems to encourage people to make fun of each other. It's also attracting a lot of teenage boys. This could be a nightmare for Sam Altman.
