Israel is a shockingly racist society, because it has to be to maintain its brutal control over Palestinians. But racism always expands & doesn't have a logical endpoint, eventually you believe the master race is just you personally and maybe your siblings.

This would be followed by immediate articles of impeachment and a call for removal. Doesn't matter if "you don't have the votes." You UNIFY YOUR PARTY and you put it at the feet of the other party.

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

teleporting is real if you consider drunk driving a form of teleporting

Come on man

Wow, a piece in the Atlantic by a professor who thinks campus leftists who annoy him are more significant than elected officials of the Democratic party.

Hey so 7/15 of the books on the New York Times children’s audio list are the full cast Harry Potter books. Fuck every single actor who participated in these from the bottom of my heart. And fuck the people who continue to keep the franchise relevant. There is no ethical consumption of JKR.

If you were wondering how the class field trip went

I haven't been following the birthright citizenship case, but after spending the last year writing about fetal personhood, it strikes me that the right is trying to read birth out of the 14A in both directions. Immigrants born here shouldn't get rights but fetuses not yet born should.

firmly believe that rejecting this outlandish position should not earn the Supreme Court credibility as apolitical it is discrediting that the Court even entertained the outlandish position in the first place

I am glad that trump is going down in flames on the birthright citizenship question but it is a disgrace that the supreme court ever agreed to hear this case and a disgrace that it won’t be 9-0 and no matter what majority opinion roberts writes this is more proof we must expand the court

My college is rolling out an AI buddy for students and I… want them to have real friends? I am still close friends with people I met in college. They changed my life for the better. They remind me of who I was. When I was great, when I was shitty. One night some of them saved my life.

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

I stand by my claim that a young Christopher Lloyd is Jake Johnson.

It’s actually not okay to pay someone with a PhD $2500 to teach a college course

When someone says something positive or even just neutral about their life, you really don't need to jump in with the Must Be Nice energy. People on here have Must Be Niced me on here for having friends, having a therapist, and considering buying better sheets. We're all having a bad time, people.

So this story is just going to pretend that the United States isn't doing this to Cuba right now huh

One of the things about watching Paradise is it's jarring to see all this end-times meltdown panic happening in front of Luke's Diner and Miss Patty's Dance Studio.

"we hear you saying you absolutely do not under any circumstances want this AI clownslop and we promise we are working on solutions to make this AI clownslop even better so it can do even more things that you never wanted done!"

"You're an idiot, babe."

You can't reform this.

"[T]he roughly 100 male veterans who are newly diagnosed [with breast cancer] each year ... will have to show their cancer was connected to their military service, a burden that has often been hard to meet."

the most vile pieces of shit

The most striking thing about this article to me — a peacenik — is how much space is given to Zionist Jews who openly or tacitly support violence against Palestinians. The same kind of generosity would never be shown in the NYer to Palestinians who support anti-zionist violence.

for those who couldn't care less about Newsom's numerous anti-trans comments, he has now moved into his "making fun of gay people" phase (as predicted, once you post transphobia etc etc...)

I have been told by Serious People that it is an unfair "purity test" to ask whether your politicians think this behavior — funded by your taxes — is genocidal

A new low has been reached

neither a garrison state nor an apartheid state, just a normal country, a bastion of democracy even, that happens to subject an ethnically distinct population to a different, militarized legal system complete with capital punishment

"they're selling postcards of the hanging"

Writers who use AI for any aspect of their work need to fix their hearts ASAP. Using an LLM for any aspect of your writing - whether that's drafting, editing, or brainstorming - is destructive and bad on so many levels.

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite. if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

THIS IS WHY WE DON'T GIVE TRANSPHOBES AN INCH, EVEN FOR THINGS THAT THE CENTER TELLS YOU ARE REASONABLE, LIKE SPORTS. LOOKING AT YOU EZRA KLEIN.

A lot of them are in "dril racism dial tweet" mode right now (but about all sorts of issues), awaiting polling and confirmation from the consultant class that they're allowed to actually say something of substance.

Dems are so freaked out about 2028 and not knowing where public opinion is going to stand at that time on a number of issues that a bunch of the potential candidates are really twisting themselves in knots to avoid offering clear stances on anything.

Now reading Project Hail Mary, and yeah, I think it's fair that they didn't jam everything from the book into the movie, as funny as it'd have been to have Ryan Gosling grappling with this on camera.

"we should never do litmus tests" is one of those things that consultants think sounds smart but falls apart if you think about it for two fucking seconds

"Allow me to answer in a non-answer way." 🗑️

You should read this excerpt from @chanda.blacksky.app's forthcoming book, The Edge of Space-Time, and then you should pre-order the book, out on April 7! www.popsci.com/science/edge...

there is a non-zero chance that the hacker group achieved this by sending Patel an email with the subject line "Password Inspector"

I've realized what is bothering me about the bad faith takes of the Lndy Wst Discourse: They are seizing on her revelations about her marriage as an opportunity to cast her as an unreliable narrator on everything she's said about fat people being human and deserving happiness.

LOL, that's such a great point. Do reactionary centrists think university students just live on campus forever like it's their natural habitat? Like they are hobbits and the campus is their shire?
