I refuse to give Donald Trump one ounce of credit for a ceasefire.

I am glad that we may be approaching peace in Israel and Palestine, but we could have had it before the fucking election, because it's just the Biden plan stolen. 🙁

it's absolute wild not to credit the creatives for their work.

Anyone who reads comics knows how important colorists are to making a comic book outstanding.

Fans all have their own favorite colorists, like artists, inkers and writers. Seeing those creators names on a books helps sell them to me.

Over the past few years, I had a couple of long form and/or labor intensive things get fancier, collected editions, and then not been included in promotion, and in some cases my name excluded from the covers of the books themselves.

Quebecois French is Atlantic and Channel French that existed before the standardization of French around the Parisian dialect during the Revolution.

it is somewhat funny but also bleak that MBC wants to turn Quebec into a model of Zemmour's and Bardella's vision for France while every actual French citizen thinks Quebec speaks a hick version of French

Up to 5,000 Cubans fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine, Reuters reports

An estimated 1,000 to 5,000 Cuban fighters are actively participating in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Reuters reported Oct. 5, citing an internal U.S. State Department cable obtained by the outlet.

What always drives me insane about this discourse is the degree to which "critique Israel" is itself at this point an empty cliche.

"This state/government is doing bad things and should be stopped" is "critique." People don't want to critique. They want a holy crusade against the impure xenos.

Critique Israel like, IDK, Serbia in the 90s (for the exact same reasons) not by doing antisemitic shit.

Don't Fret. It Adores You @seed-corn-thoughts.bsky.social · 8h

"I will actively associate the only Jewish state in the world with things I deem to be inauthentic, duplicitous, driven by greed, and personally irritating" is, like, primordial antisemitism. You can critique Israel without going "This Chinese thing is spiritually Israeli."

Israelis don't want to be Palestinians, and Palestinians don't want to be Israelis. 2 nations are competing for the region, and merging them seems... unlikely. So, establishing a Palestinian state in the WB and Gaza, withdrawing Israeli settlements from the WB and mutual recognition is the way out.

Helen Rosner @hels.bsky.social · 1d

If someone calls for a two-state solution you should push them to be specific abt why they don’t support one state. It always comes down to one of three things:
- they think Palestinians are subhuman
- they support judeosupremacy
- they’ve actually never really thought about it before

That Trump was allowed to return to civilian life as if he had nothing to do with January 6th is really when the constitutional crisis began.

The difference between Mamdani and the people upset with him for this statement is the difference between people who oppose Zionism because they want equal human rights for all, and those who oppose Zionism because they want a different competing exclusionary ethnonationalism to win out.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 1d

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”
