The Israeli government denies mistreating Greta Thunberg. Then Police Min Itamar Ben Gvir goes on TV to gleefully announcing that she was indeed tortured. He says he's proud of the fact. It's a great demonstration of how the Israeli government under Netanyahu works, unable to coordinate its lies

Idk man fish look pretty smoochable even when I’m stone cold sober

Man, of all the Discworld books I’d hoped to visit, Night Watch was not among them.

I spent way too long making this Gourdhub home page:

what about deradicalizing israelis, the majority of whom see palestinians as subhuman? who insist there are no innocents in gaza? who block aid convoys? who attack palestinian villages? who learn in their schools that palestinians are a fictional people while looking at maps with no green line?

YK is one of my favorite holidays, but yeah, toad, same.

hell yeah Merriam-Webster, dunk on those silicon valley comic book villains and their garbage spicy autocomplete toys

This is basically line for line the exact same thing she said about gender dysphoria in trans youth right down to the divide between parents and activists along with social media battles.

Jews who are fasting: if you see this, go drink a glass of water. Right now.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

why, when my bike ride to the doctor was 25 minutes, and from there to the therapist was ten minutes at least partly back north, was my ride home 50 minutes? at least beach drive is beautiful and car-free.

JD Vance looks bad bc he’s tightlining his waterline, which you generally should only do if you’re wearing eyeshadow and/or mascara - it gives more definition to where your eyeballs actually start which makes them seem bigger. For general use, just a black pencil ABOVE your lash line is best imo

hold on to your puppet holes, @muppeturgy.com

Gentle reminder: Yom Kippur begins in 72 hours. If you plan to fast, now is an opportune moment to start pounding fluids and cutting salt and alcohol

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

"it's all bad, everyone is corrupt" is literally a fascist talking point. it is what fascists want you to think. "nothing matters, why resist?"

i do not know if this man Has Autism or whatever but i think we can all agree that human knowledge and flourishing depends on dudes (of all genders) who can get way too interested in stuff

where do you go to quickly catch up on the news after being offline for yomtov?

“Why are you banging your head against the wall?” asked Frog. “I hope that if I bang my head against the wall, it will help me to think of a story,” said Toad.

I tried and failed to write a comprehensive yet easily digestible summary of research on the labor market impacts of the H-1B visa. So I wrote 2-page summaries of the best recent research on the domestic and foreign labor market impacts of the H-1B visa: www.congress.gov/crs-product/...

if these are your senators, call to thank them. they’re definitely hearing from zionists.

Watergate-level high crimes and misdemeanors happening right in front of us every day

on the one hand, the AI bubble can’t burst fast enough. on the other hand, way too much of our economy has apparently gone all in on this smoke and mirrors.

They're making the sunsets transgender!

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

This is the lead story in the New York Times. If you're in the business of communicating, whether through journalism, commentary, or art, this is the five-alarm fire. People are going to remember who spoke up and who stayed conveniently silent or postured about "neutrality."

I came of political age hating the Bush guys and now I have to get in the trenches with them against the guy from the apprentice I would like to file several complaints

Klein explicitly says his project is to dishonestly portray the true nature of the right for his readers in hopes that helps foster some common ground to heal our nation. This didn’t work for Obama and it’s not gonna work for him.

In his new piece--which is largely about the reaction to his last piece--Ezra Klein says that he is deeply shaken by Charlie Kirk's murder essentially because they were in the same business: They both did public politics. This is honest on his part. It's also the problem. >

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.
