What I am saying is this. I am very happy to explain to everyone that "Intifada" means revolution and it's absurd to ban it. I am far less willing to reassure Diaspora Jews that "Globalise the Intifada" is not meant against them, as it's not impossible that some would take it in that direction.

Hard no to this: French publisher Harlequin has told translators that their work will now be done by AI. They can ‘revise’ AI translations at much lower rate. It’s a subsidiary of Harper Collins so treat this as a test for rollout elsewhere

Alzheimer’s and Dementia are not the same thing. Here's why this matters:
DAMMIT It's Not Alzheimer's! Here's Why It's A Far Worse Nightmare Scenario
You deserve the facts, not conjecture. Alzheimer's diminishes a person. Trump's not diminishing, he's escalating, and you need to know the frightening reason why.

I don't think I have felt as much fear and despair for the future of Australia as I have this past week. We are completely lacking in the kind of leadership we need right now.

I'm literally at a loss for words except to say: I have no respect for NSW Premier Chris Minns. None.
And not for any other politician who is literally letting effing *ISIS* off the hook only to blame... people who oppose crimes against humanity???

Yep, it's pretty fucking gross that the collective reaction of the entire Liberal party to this terrorist attack has been:
"We are SO back"
"We are SO back"
Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you
Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.
