It would be helpful if the Democrats did politics on these issues rather than presurrendering.

If there were a conflict between the US and Syria and right wing groups were marching around calling to "Globalize the Crusades" *with respect to that particular conflict* I would not lecture people about how they shouldn't find it offensive.

You can't expand every entry in a thread to be visible. It's still online. You can read the rest of it.

Hey maybe he shouldn't be showering praise on someone who said that Hitler was right. Is saying that Hitler was right antisemitic.

I feel like there also may have been some medical advancements since then.

When I was in the car something by Alannis Morissette came on and my daughter demanded that I change the channel and I was like "you're a teenage girl-you should like this" and she just demanded more loudly that I change it.

from a first amendment point of view? The copyright office might decide that I haven't done the necessary creative work to protect it as a written work but it would still be a violation of the first amendment to permit the government to ban it.

I'm going to try to engage with you here. Imagine a scenario where I ask chatgpt to put together an opposition to Trump's immigration policies which I put on my website. The government shuts it down because it has barred any AI statements critical of Trump. Do you see why that would be a problem 1/2

This may have been a bit before your time but Neal Pollack had this running parody blog of Sullivan's post 9/11 "warblog" that was absolutely hilarious.

It really depends. A lot of the characters (male and female) are authentically insufferable in way that can be very annoying to watch. I don't think that the show intends them to be likeable or smart but I found it hard to enjoy.

This is straight up antisemitic hysteria treating the presence of Jews as some kind of invidious hostile takeover. Residents of Israel were behind three other countries, buying, about a thousand parcels in a country of a million people. Are the British, Lebanese and Russians also trying annex it?

If they weren't cowards they would have Batman Mask of the Phantasm as the highest rated comic book movie.

I am famously a crank so I doubt it. I am sure that they are out there haven't seen really any good critical analysis talking about how the movies basically abandon the books main theme about the corrupting nature of power.

Fellowship was the best of the three MOVIES and ROTK the worst. ROTK also a harbinger of bloat and big battle obsession that haunted all of the Hobbit movies.

Broke: Palestinians in the US should not say Globalize the Intifada because Jews reasonably see it as a call for violence.
Woke : They should use it because they mean it as a call for peaceful change.
Bespoke : They should use it because *it* is a call for violence against Jews and that is good.

There are AI tools (Phonic mind and Moises.ai) that advertise being able to separate vocals but no idea if they are any good.

I have to think that movies that do "colorful" portrayals of severe mental illness have dropped in stock quite a bit but I've been disappointed before.

Like you want a video that has just one of the Indigo Girls singing or just someone singing it?

Unironically I believe that this is true. RCV created different political incentives for the non Cuomo candidates. I don't know if he wins if he is taking fire from all sides.

Yeah. Just a completely fabricated reality where Democrats are campaigning aggressively on pronoun enforcement and boys in school are castigated for their maleness.

It's pretty early. It looks like the speaker of the house is interested and Janet Mills is still a possibility.

I mean what worst fears were confirmed? Like you can say that many Jews didn't like him and didn't vote for him and talk about the reasons why but what "worst fears" did he confirm?

There is a strong democratic bench in Maine in a way that there wasn't in Georgia. Maine has been a blue leaning state for a while. Very different situation.

I am glad he won and brought in new voters but creating a favorable is also a strategy that is much easier in a summer primary with ten percent turnout than in a general election. Many more easily activateable voters and much easier to tip the scale with them.

I'd be interested in knowing how race and education in NYC vary by age and how much of this is age being a proxy for those things.

I implore you to please retweet this video of Joe Kernen belligerently not understanding that Ireland is an independent country.

I think that there are probably misalignments on what a "zionist" is between the two of you driving this discussion.

Did they portray him as unpopular in his first term? I don't think that they did. I think that he got that rep in the second term when was in fact unpopular.

becoming more worse and more obviously intentional and destructive. There is also a degree to which Trump's attacks on palestinians here have caused the pro-Israel position to become right-coded to some degree, though the whole thing is obviously more complicated.

So I have thought about this and I think that the municipal part of it is definitely the most significant reason. But I also think that (a) the politics have changed dramatically since say Bowman and Bush's 2024 primaries, with the 10/7 attack fading in memory and Israel's atrocities 1/2

Will, don't you understand that these people are just responding to material conditions. Social media doesn't warp people's perspective (this sucks for you and I am sorry).

I mean maybe the air crews did screw it up. Maybe the people running the mission screwed it up. These things are not beyond criticism.

I believe that the other US RCV jurisdictions tend to be very slow because they want *all* the votes collected before doing RCV. Alaska has had I think some pretty slow result reporting. Maine it usually hasn't mattered because someone usually won or near-won in the first round.

I think that there is a bit of a strange dynamic in some American cities where, because they are overwhelmingly Democratic the primary is usually where the action is, but most people don't vote in summer primaries.So you get an important primary with primary-level turnout and an uncompetitive GE.
