a thing in Israeli politics, incidentally, is that Jews of non-European descent are generally more hardline than Jews of European descent. it makes very little sense to try and impose American ideas of 'white/non-white' in this context in general.

I saw Simple Minds play tonite (my first time seeing them) and was legit floored at their stage presence. And Cherisse's 2000 piece drum kit.

I can only assume Audra and Megan split the vote and shit went weird. (I know nothing about their voting process )

Just in general I really think "the wealthy want access to economically desperate young women who they can coerce into sex" is underrated as both an explanation for Why The Rich Are Like This and a persuasive argument to working class people for rallying against them.

I don't know if this means pop-si-clees or so-fuckles. š¤£

And, as we self-sort, we grow more extreme. Each act of sorting creates another point of division. Perhaps this then poses an ultimatum for a friendship you used to treasure: You have a difference of opinion over AOC? Ok, now you are no longer friends. Our coalition is left weaker than ever before.

It is important to note this fact about loyalty to *individual political figures*. More self-sorting. We're no longer "just" leftists or center-leftists or moderates. We are AOC fans. Or AOC dislikers. We think Walz was a good pick. Or we think he was an awful one. We self-sort & self-sort again.

The best way I've come up with to explain AI to people who aren't data scientists or developers is that it's a broad category of incredibly cool and useful tools for doing hard things with large amounts of data, which we suddenly decided to use only for the worst purposes.

If you want to further the argument that being pro-Palestinian isnāt inherently antisemitic *then you have to be committed to identifying and hucking out people who want to use the humanitarian cause of Palestinian rights to harm random diaspora Jews* and if that sounds too hard? Well.

People. Are. Only. Semites. If. Youāre. Doing. Race. Science.
The term antisemitism was coined by a German race scientist who thought ājudenhasseā (lit. Jew Hate) didnāt sound academic enough.
Antisemitism is literally only about Jews. And if you take issue with that, bitch at the dudeās ghost.

I've had to mostly memory hole Nona (which is a little clunky until it all clicks) because by the time I got to the end I was RAVENOUS to just dive in to Alecto. ššŖ¦

The worst sin is the half second where I completely misread this entire skeet and thought we'd gotten a release date for Alecto.
