To be very clear, I don’t think they (or anyone should be bombed). I just don’t like lazy logic here of them being good guys since Israel is obviously the bad guy. It’s more complicated than that is my only point.

No, I’m not. I’m it’s more complicated than the Manichaeism you’re engaging in. They aren’t “good guys” just because Israel are clearly “bad guys”

You mean the guy who worked in both Gaza and Yemen and has personally lost friends and colleagues in the past 3 months? The guy who’s supported Palestine since the second intifada and hates Israel for killing his friends? Fucking teenage keyboard warriors. Go get fucked

You know that Palestinians and Houthi are different people in different countries, right?

Maybe the enemies of your enemies aren’t automatically your friends? You been to Yemen and seen their handiwork? I have. They aren’t your friends and acting like they are is a real bad look my guy.

I knew an old timer who lived on Haight st through the Summer of Love and all that. He said by the time anyone anyone else had heard about it and started showing up, it was already over. Full on dystopia by 1970.

I clearly remember saying “why would I ever get a cell phone when there’s a pay phone on every corner and my landline is like $5 a month?” sometime in 2002

When I worked for WFP in Sudan literal starving people would complain that the free sorghum we dropped out of airplanes for them wasn’t as good as what they grew in their village, and how are we supposed to eat these lentils without salt?! People are people everywhere.

It’s the incredulous “Do they have dietaries in Sudan?” Uh, yeah. It’s called Halal and they’ve been doing it for 1500 years. People in poor countries aren’t out there eating spiders and shit.

My parents still don’t know that I snuck out to see Nirvana in 1994, or lied about that Grateful Dead show I went to in 8th grade. Still some of my favorite stories 30 years later.

Permanent ceasefire isn’t a desirable outcome, and risks burning political capital. What you want is a peace treaty, not status quo ante bellum. That solves nothing and just sets the clock running for restarting hostilities.

I found my stolen bike for sale on eBay and took it to the cops. They seemed confused that I expected them to do anything about it. I bought my bike back, and the seller told me he’d gotten FROM the cops as a donation.

POV: Ross Perot voter in 1992 just fine with handing the election to Clinton. Spent a fortune for 13% nationally. Best 3rd party showing ever! Won 0 states, and you never heard of him before reading this post.
