No disrespect at all meant, but I think you should read up on things a bit more, mate. Isreal's actions do not at all comport with those statements.

You can think whatever you'd like, but doing so doesn't make it correct.

Yes, obviously false. Except by definitions both legal and common.

Distinctly, Isreal is an religious ethnostate (that second word is the primary issue) whereas neither Iran nor Pakistan are.

Yeah, that's what I figured you meant. It is pretty telling that you consider it disqualifying to oppose a government commiting the atrocities that Isreal factually has. And the other stuff is pretty obvious too; most of the western world is guilty of white supremacy.

Which statements, specifically?

I'm so excited to learn what you mean by speaking out against Israel and why it is wrong.

It is the only country that he is asked about (constantly). He shouldn't even be asked about any other country because it is wholly irrelevant to the responsibilities of mayor of NYC. The reason they keep harping on it for him, but not others, is seemingly because he is Muslim.

I hope the rest of the world is watching. I hope they are ready and willing to hold us accountable for these atrocities.

"They're behaving like fascists." If it looks and quacks like a duck, Jerry.

AOC is one of the, if not most, popular politician in the Dem party nationally. despite how ppl want to paint her as "radical" she can definitely deliver a few normy boomer Dems to mamdani.

I guess I'm more out of touch than I thought.

How are the harms of this thing not obvious to such smart people, many of whom must deal with AI cheating from their students?

I tried blocking him but like 1/5 of my feed became incoherent emphases of how stupid some invisible post was.

It looks like upload quality stinks. Is that Bluesky's video compression or did I screw something up?

That is really interesting context.
Is the same true on a relative scale? The US population doubled over that time period, but I don't have a good sense for protest numbers at either.

No, this is clearly "A" for "aggressively hot" and "G" for "God damn cold".

That makes good sense. Since the larvae can't fly, they don't move around much and usually stay in the canopy.

That pretty much confirms it! They specialize on the cottonwood family and are quite pretty as adults. Some species produce a very unique smell from the chemicals in the leaves they eat.

They look like cottonwood leaf beetles: bugguide.net/node/view/18...

Hey, maybe non-veterans are just as deserving of not getting their food assistance cutoff? Because they're people?

I was just saying how there's not enough ads on the internet, or anywhere else for that matter.

Like: sure it's going to be more expensive to build *safe* housing for people when we're only willing to put them by major highways. The left wants to address the causes (relegating poor people to shitty areas) while Abundance is content to shuffle the symptoms from expensive to unsafe housing.

The frustrating thing to me about this was Klein just repeatinf the same surface level point that "it is more expensive than market rate to make public housing" and hoping that would by itself be convincing, while claiming to value specificity.

Do you offer any bulk deals?

This is what they want. If they're able to insight violence, it is easier to declare martial law, suspend habeas, etc.
