[Netanyahu's prosecution for bribery] "tarnishes our victory?" He must mean "tarnishes Israel's reputation."

It appears that they are building a hit list of verified usernames and faces.

Agree. I was reviewing the history of the Nuremberg trials with the same thought in mind:

Perhaps, but then again, this is the guy who mocks people with disabling disorders. So why care?

But what would we do if everything created by humans reflected their biases? ;-)

To be clear: The Christian's necessary role in helping "god" bring out the end of the world as in the Christian Bible's book of Revelation is not spread by Jewish leadership but by American Evangelical Christians' leadership, AFAIK.

Spot on. I spent my teen years with these anti-American fascists known as American "Evangelical Christians," who are taught to believe that it's their god-given role to help terminate human society and set in motion the violent end of the world.

When you're researching existing works (as opposed to measuring, surveying, directly observing and other scientific-like primary research activities), why not use AI to collect relevant materials? Sure there is bias introduced in determing what is relevant, but likely less bias than a human's bias.

"Symbol of resistance?" Wrongful arrest, handcuffs and false charges are forms of government abuse by those in power. Being publicly handcufed is not a symbolic badge of merit or honor. And yet the oligarch-run WAPO peddles the myth that Democrats are competing to get arrested. Too much Fox News.

I suspect it's worse than that. Many graduates had poor attendance as well. But the room has already been rented to the next crew coming up, and it's just easier to bulid prisons because private prisons have the most to gain and pay the most kickbacks.

Thanks for putting this rudeness on display. They smothered opinions and dissent of an especially talented, experienced and wise black woman to soothe their own egos.

It seems they have no concerns about hiring folks to staff such huge prisons in the middle of nowhere.

I'd say it was both, though clearly classism and racism drove the ~75% of southern Whites who didn't own slaves to join the Confederacy to preserve and expand slavery for the primary benefit of the Confederate aristocracy. From ChatGPT, here's a table of Confederate soldiers from each state.

The kind of fat you coat them with makes a huge difference. Duck fat is better than olive oil. But the BEST result I ever had was with GOOSE FAT! The potatoes were sealed by the goose fat and puffed up when done with a golden brown color. Perfect!
