This fact is not entirely their fault, but when given the chance to establish a state, they have rejected it time and again. This is because the principal grievance of the Palestinian cause, one revealed in those rejections of sovereignty and by rhetoric spanning generations, is not the absence of a desired nation-state but the existence of another one.

absolutely hate living in a world where I see something wonderful online and immediately think "is this generated by a monster machine"?

Roger Parloff did a 🧵on trial. Sigh.

As Trump’s classified docs prosecution goes forward, now w no pretense of trial before the election, Judge appears poised to permit him to use pub hearings in the case to sound his campaign themes. 1/…

@GottaLaff @kwheaton my great grandparents all left Eastern Europe in the early 1900’s to come to the US. I often wonder if it’s time to move again.

These new iPads Pro are clearly the best iPads ever made, and most powerful hardware in this form factor by a long shot.

Which is why it pains me that the most excitement I can drum up is an exasperated sigh

Jess Piper reports – from the ground in rural Missouri and Arkansas – about how, since it knows it cannot win fair and square, the Republican party is resorting to tricks, subterfuge, and outright lies to try to impose its minority position on abortion on the majority who believe that abortion should not be made illegal.

She recently went to a Democratic rally in Arkansas, and encountered a woman handing out cards with QR code.

    I am now going to share the recipe for how to make perfect matzo balls.

    Legal and political analysis PLUS recipes.

    Joan (my favorite person) made the best matzo balls. A few decades ago, I was assigned the task of bringing the matzo balls to the Seder. Naturally, I called Joan for her recipe.

    I’ve been using her recipe ever since, and now I am the one famous in our family for the best matzo balls.

    Here is the trick. . .

    @Teri_Kanefield chag sameach! My father in law used to add chicken bullion to the matzo balls instead of the soup. Same concept but more concentrated!

    Turns out alienating your core demographic so a handful of bigots on Twitter think you’re cool, is an awful business strategy.

    @Miriamm Our local mall is closed for business and about to be torn down for reconstruction. A third of the parking lot has been full of new Teslas for the past six months. Guess they aren’t selling so hot and they have no place to store them all so the local dealer made arrangements for temporary storage. I wonder daily what happens when they start tearing the mall down!

    New: I talked to Trump Media investors about their shares' value getting cut in half. A tree remover in Oklahoma who bet basically his whole nest egg told me, “This isn’t just another stock … I feel like it was God Almighty that put it in my lap" https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/14/truth-social-investors-faith-trump/

    People learn nothing from the pandemic. It's a lovely 60° day in Milwaukee, so I spent the afternoon enjoying a couple of beers with my spouse. We visited bars that could have had their windows open, but didn't. Almost none had patio/outdoor tables set up. And the few that did have outdoor tables had nobody sitting outside (except us). Everyone was indoors, in terrible crowds, on a beautiful afternoon. Make it make sense.

    @augieray my in-laws in MKE have had Covid multiple times over the past few years and refuse to take standard precautions. Must be something in the cheese.

    Reddit is going public via the IPO route. Last year, the CEO got $193 million, but moderators are not paid and expected to work free past IPO. Only some moderators and active users in the USA can apply for Reddit's initial public offering to buy stock at a special price. Most Reddit users are motivated by fake karma points and likes. Also, they banned all unofficial Reddit mobile clients. Meanwhile, the CEO profits while everyone provides free labor.

    I sat off-screen and listened to a peer's at a major company last week. I didn't even work there, and even with that distance, I am astounded and disgusted at the state of this industry, and the spinelessness of the proceedings.

    If you haven't experienced one yet, let me tell you the playbook.

    @jan @Haste As a former displaced US tech employee with offices in Europe, it was even more depressing to see my colleagues get those protections, while we didn’t. All while Executive compensation soared and stock price grew exponentially.

    @dnc first try is a first step and every cook an opportunity to learn and improve. My suggestion would be watch a YouTube video on a competition bbq trim and try that next time!
