As is typical for a Politico story, they bury the fact that this is business as usual way down the article:

In some ways the tensions are nothing new: Europe’s far right is already divided on the EU stage, split between three separate camps in the European Parliament: a hard-right camp of Euroskeptics and nationalists that includes Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy and Poland’s Law & Justice, the far-right ID group, and then Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s battalion of MEPs, who are unattached and left out in the cold.

These sort of attempts to discredit the movement won’t work while Israel is conducting a fucking genocide.

Oh thank god it’s not BIll Lawrence. I didn’t want Scrubs to truly be tainted and Bill Lawrence was the big creative force behind the show.

I’m going to get someone to do an eagle with in relief.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of extremely stupid Republicans.

Awesome! Congratulations to him! It is always a good thing when someone doesn’t have to live a lie and can just be themselves and I hope he is an inspiration to others.

I am Jewish and yes, it is antisemitic to consider all Jews as Israelis. I do not support Israel, I have no affiliation with Israel, I have no interest in going to Israel apart from the archaeology. I’m from Indiana and I have a hell of a lot more in common with a Christian from Fort Wayne than an Israeli from Haifa.

Also, I know this is totally anecdotal, but every Israeli I have met in my life has been an asshole, which doesn’t exactly endear me to their country.

Netanyahu is the one who benefits most from people thinking all Jews are Israeli. I sure as hell haven’t benefited from it considering how many times I’ve had to justify myself just for who my ancestors were.

You are absolutely right on that. It keeps many anti-genocide Jews silent. It kept me silent for a very long time. I didn’t even like talking about being Jewish. What changed my mind was a British documentary by a British comedian named David Baddiel called Jews Don’t Count (based on his book of the same name), which is specifically about the “othering” of Jews, especially how many white people don’t see Jews as white, but most non-white people don’t see Jews as non-white. It’s made me more vocal about things. I had already seen the documentary a few years before, but what has truly cemented it for me was the “you have said the actual truth” tweet by Elon Musk in response to someone who said Jews were oppressing white people.

It was streaming somewhere where non-Brits could see it (I think Dailymotion), but it doesn’t appear to be there anymore.

I’ve never been to a rock concert because I’ve heard precisely one story from someone who truly had a great time compared to what they might have had in a smaller venue and that was because they had good seats.

If the amount of enjoyment you’re going to get out of a band is directly proportional to how much you’re willing to pay, fuck that.

People keep saying, on Lemmy, that it’s too costly to do this.

Apparently not.

All 9 South Dakota tribes endorse Gov. Kristi Noem's banishment (www.usatoday.com)

On Friday, the second-term governor spent part of a 51-minute press conference in Pierre lamenting the seven prior banishment measures and continued to emphasize her claim that Mexican cartels are using South Dakota’s Indian lands as “safe havens” to distribute drugs in the state.

There’s a lot of crime on reservations because there’s a lot of poverty on reservations. I wonder if the U.S. government she’s proud to be a part of has anything to do with that?

Not better yet, but we’re working on it. That actually isn’t a pain issue. I have two wonderful illnesses. The pain thing is a nerve disorder called atypical trigeminal neuralgia.

I won the genetic lottery for sure.

There are those aliens who created all the humanoids in the galaxy. Where do we contact them?

Thanks! I really have wondered that for years.

Don’t worry, dust storms in Illinois are perfectly normal.

Where would I put the dirty dishes so I could wash them if the sink is already full?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You must have a large kitchen.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Then you must have a large sink or you must wash dishes every single time you eat rather than once a day. We don’t have time for that.

FlyingSquid,

It’s “got me absolutely stumped” because we have a small kitchen and a small sink. There’s no room. We could put them on the floor, but we have dogs. Conceivably we could do something like put all the dishes on a shelf in the living room and come and get them one by one to clean them. Maybe you think that would teach my daughter something, but other than ‘my parents are doing something silly when we could just use the dishwasher,’ I don’t know what it would be.

Could it be that you don’t know my situation because you’ve never been to my home?

Norm was definitely conservative.

Although he is not a U.S. citizen, he has publicly stated his support for Republican politicians George W. Bush and John McCain and has said that he considers Ronald Reagan to be the best President in U.S. history.
