@Strandjunker He’s been a criminal ever since he incited the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin in the 90s (not to mention his formal criminal conviction last year) and he’s been Israel’s Trump ever since, but thanks everyone for finally catching up to what nearly every non-orthodox jew on the planet has believed this entire century.

@Free_Press The most readily apparent suspect is the stormy foggy weather conditions that hindered rescue efforts even hours after. Ask Carter and the 🇺🇸 army how easy it is to fly state of the art helicopters in stormy conditions in the 🇮🇷 desert.

🇮🇱 has killed leaders of militant organizations and the occasional general, along with the rest of the West. Taking out a head of state has never been any country’s modus operandi. 🇮🇱 generally prefers dealing with the devil they know.

@StillIRise1963 The 2800 hold twice the wealth of the remaining 8 billion. They may very in personality traits/beliefs, but the one thing they all have in common is their sole and overriding mortal fear of losing their wealth. Meanwhile, the vast majority of the 8 billion would sell out their own to improve their position and wouldnt risk what theyve accumulated to take on the power of the elites. Since theyre vastly outnumbered, they purposefully keep us fractured to make sure it can’t happen

Such moral cowards running New York University -- ordering student protestors to write phony apologies.

This is right out of the authoritarian playbook -- and it craps on every notion of freedom of expression.

You don't have to agree with the protestors' politics. But you should damn well understand that America is in wave of McCarthyism right now.

@dangillmor I’d have more sympathy if they had justly advocated for freedom of the Palestinian people instead of shilling for an internationally recognized terrorist organization, lovingly branding these equal oppressors of Gazans as the “Resistance” and whitewashing their genocidal slogans calling for the eradication all non-Muslims from Palestine. Too bad their fancy degrees didn’t teach them that there are more than 2 sides of this story and Tiktok isnt the best place to learn foreign affairs

On the one hand, the Supreme Court has not been favorable, overall, to Trump's reelection. In 2020, they threw out a case brought by Republicans to have four Democratic states ejected from the election, for example.

But on the other hand, now with two justices' wives taking public actions to support Trump's reelection, it's really hard to take the idea of impartiality seriously. If you're the spouse of a justice, and if you took SCOTUS's work seriously, you'd sit it out. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/justice-alito-upside-down-flag.html

@GottaLaff Just for fairness and balance, and you know, context, maybe just maybe please include that this humanitarian aid crossing was shut down when Hamas admitted launching 10 rockets at it, killing 3 soldiers, while Blinken’s “most generous ceasefire offer ever from 🇮🇱” talks were still ongoing, mainly because they, a terrorist organization, knows for a fact that every day this war goes on, regardless of cause, the world will just keep tribally piling on Israel now https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-claims-responsibility-attack-israel-gaza-border-crossing-casualties-2024-05-05/

I keep on looking at this map. The Gaza strip itself is already so small , one of the most densely populated parts of the world. And now everyone is supposed to cram into a minute part of this?

If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the #web, what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

@molly0xfff Disinformation was the distinct minority of Internet content rather than on par with truth, was typically poorly, rather than professionally, produced and was not easily globally distributed. No mass-induced multinational terror that clinking a single innocent looking link could forever ruin you financially at any time. Much less than the present 100% of internet service providers stored highly private information about you, analyzed it with AI and sold it to advertisers.
