It seems that the majority of Israeli society wants a 1SS, and the majority of Palestinian society wants a 1SS, which is a point you really can't move past without a shift in public opinion. I'd say peace talks, but Clinton negotiated Oslo & the response was more violence.

I’m struggling to imagine, say, a nurse getting fired for diverting drugs and then getting hired as Chief Nursing Officer at a different hospital as a reward. Just complete moral bankruptcy.

I'm becoming more convinced that when the MAGA bloc fractures, we're going to see some weird movement across lines. Where one of the splinter-remnants of MAGA (MTG, Boebert) takes on members from the tanky far-left, essentially just united in being pro-Russia, anti-Israel, and antisemitic.

Did you know that 2,00 years ago a Roman Citizen could walk across the face of the known world, free of the fear of molestation?

the "trans culture" that Nicole calls "we" is based around reifying oppression and suffering and a refusal to participate in mainstream society. that culture absolutely is going to die out, and future generations of trans women will be like Sarah McBride and not like what Nicole imagines she is.
this is insane

Can these people just post the actual verbatim Blood Libel already and get it over with, because they're clearly just about there

Capitalism is the best system we have yet developed. It is obviously superior to socialism as implemented (Nordic social democracy is neither socialism nor viable in the US, but it *does* fall under capitalism broadly)

it was actually really bad that Vietnam + Iraq made sure two successive generations of people thought war was only for imperialism and evil motives. The anti-interventionist mindset leads to a morally vacuous reification of the idea that countries own their citizens&cultural norms supersede morality
something I think about a lot is that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has given a whole generation of young American liberals a reason to support some degree of military interventionism which they would probably otherwise still be pretty soured on post-Iraq and Afghanistan

an underrated part of this turducken of garbage is Elon posting an image of the Odyssey while discussing the Iliad, but it's all so terribly, terribly pathetic

So, over the weekend I got iMessage working on my Android (so I don't have to hear more complaints about broken groupchats). The app I used supports "Find My Friends", but bc I don't have anyone sharing their location with me it resulted in the funniest fucking tooltip.

ok so I didn't have "Gemini crashout" on my weekend's bingo card.

the amount of shit Will Stancil gets for stating the obvious fact that people do not track how much money they’re spending over time and have a ledger in their head of where costs of everyday items are is insane

and, as a flip side, kneejerk anti-colonialism is our own vulnerability on the left, which is a big reason I push really hard for the inclusion of ex-neocons in our coalition. "freedom isn't worth fighting for if someone can cite a cultural tradition" is also toxic to the liberal project

oh ok, we're back to "TikTok is the paper of record, actually" discourse again.
false
Tiktok is almost certainly a better source of information on Gaza than the NYT.

So, someone can add you to a moderation list even if you have them blocked, apparently?

Feels like that shouldn't be the case, and has increased potential for abuse.

it *annoys* me when left-aligned folks act like 9/11 was imaginary and 3000 people weren't actually murdered, in the US, for going about their ordinary days, by religious zealots

but Bush and Cheney did ultimately create that situation by building a web of lies around that actual atrocity

the extent to which people have utterly forgotten that 9/11 was a real thing that actually happened is a testament to both how fucked human memory is and also how much the Bush administration squandered its mission to protect the country
I don't want to call this person out because they're not entirely wrong, but I think what this misses was that right after 9/11 the political culture were in fact scared shitless that 9/11 was going to happen again and again. It wasn't about civility that made people support WOT, it was fear.

Dick Cheney did one thing right in his life.

He cited for Harris, unlike those cosplaying protesters who hated a Black woman more than a pedophile.

Yes, I am using Cheney to attack third party voters.

Because he tried harder to stop Trump than they did.

Have a good day. Bye.
