US “rejects recent statements from Israeli Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir advocating for the resettlement of Palestinians outside of Gaza. This rhetoric is inflammatory and irresponsible.” - State Dept.

Since contracting , I have maintained a very strict diet which has resulted in me getting my diabetes under control without meds, and also resulted in me losing a significant amount of weight. I had been being less strict about my diet and Thanksgiving and Christmas are my "cheat" days (which turned into cheat periods).

As a result I gained some weight back, and my A1C, although still excellent, wasn't as excellent as it was.

After a week of returning to my previous very strict diet, I have found myself feeling so much better, sleeping incredibly well, and my clothes fitting better.

So here's to maintaining discipline in the and beyond. I have a lot to live for.

What's the worst thing that your boss has ever done? Mines would probably be the time I worked for a law firm and the owner wanted us to clear out the upstairs of a dusty ass building that he owned to look scrounge for office supplies (literally not in my job description at all) and as we're clearing things out he tells us that they're going to come back and clean up the asbestos in a few days.

@BlackAzizAnansi First job I had as a lawyer, my boss, in addition to daily horrible actions, embezzled over $900K from a disabled client and invested it in a get rich quick scheme that everyone told him was a fraud. He ended up being disbarred and imprisoned.

I saw a post on a forum for the band Yes on another platform where members were complaining that a particular album wasn't really a Yes album because there weren't enough Yes members on it. My brothers and sisters in Christ, Yes had approximately 523 different members over the years, do you really want to make this argument?

@isomeme @Lazarou Chris Squire is the easy one because he was the only bass player until he died, which is pretty amazing seeing how many changes they went through.

@PaulDitz@todon.eu avatar

Late this week. I've been working and cooking and watching sports all day. Some wouldn't consider this jazz. I would disagree with them. While Steely Dan may not technically be jazz, it certainly was at least half jazz. On The Nightfly, Donald Fagan went way past halfway and created a classic that sounds as good today as when it was released. This was the first album I owned on cassette. When I bought my first CDs I got it then as an homage. It wasn't until much later that I got it on vinyl.

Remember it's only genocide if it comes from the genocide region of Germany. Israel is just committing sparkling ethnic cleansing.

I love listening to liberals screaming about "voting for democracy" in 2024 when their candidate just bypassed Congress to give more implements of death to Israel to continue the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Do you even listen to yourselves?

Q: Do you support Israel's right to exist?

A: I'm an anarchist. I don't support any state's right to exist.

Do you usually flirt first or wait for the other person to flirt? 😊
If you're married or in a relationship, use your 'single days' as the answer 😉

@dancinyogi I am so awkward that whenever I try to flirt it just goes horribly wrong. Lol

PaulDitz, to Israel
@PaulDitz@todon.eu avatar

What is happening in Congress, the media, etc by conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism is a clear attempt by the right to deflect their own actual antisemitism problem by changing the definition of antisemitism to allow them to cast the left as the actual antisemites.

The fact that they are conflating Israel with Judaism is widely recognized as historically one of the basic antisemitic tropes. So they are actually claiming to attack antisemitism by engaging in antisemitism.

Israel is a state, not a religion. Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic. This is a ginned up moral panic unlike any I've ever seen. And it is not surprising that it comes at a time when as much as 70% of Americans in total are critical of the actions of Israel.

The question is will those 70% continue to stand up and voice their criticism or will they shrink (like the useless dumpster fire Democrats in Congress) for fear of being labeled antisemitic?

I've never seen such a disconnect between the elite and the rank and file in this country. We live in totally different world. Who will stand up?

Democrats continue to demand that you ignore a genocide in order to achieve their political goals. Actions have consequences. Dump Biden if you want to win next year.

I'm starting to see some criticism of the gleeful celebration of 's death. Y'all, just shut the fuck up. He was the most horrible of the horrible. We're gonna celebrate and you're going to drag your glum asses somewhere else. We get to have this.

Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.
