Jews are expected to offer their necks to the chopping block merely to prove that their executioner doesn't actually hate them.

Lovett: I just want to be very clear: Jews in Michigan have a moral obligation to support Abdul. They should do it to protect themselves from antisemitism and rising hatred in America.

הקריסה של ש"ס היא התוצאה התמוהה ביותר לדעתי. לא ברור לי למה הציבור הזה רוצה לחסל את המנוף היחידי שיש לו כדי להקפיא את הסטטוס קוו על הגיוס. נראה להם שלהצית פחים ולהשתולל יעשה את העבודה יותר טוב מלהיות כוח קואליציוני שאי אפשר להתעלם ממנו? לא מבין את העניין.
One of the more hilarious lies she told. Imagine being less embarrassed by the idea that a ton of writing under your byline is fake than by the idea that you actually wrote that shit.

For the record, I never authored even one opinion piece for the Daily Wire.
You guys ghostwrote all of them and then slapped my name on it as the author for clicks.
Good luck finding the intern (or AI system?) you’re upset with.

"'Maintain 0 mg tomorrow,' the chatbot instructed. 'Even if today feels tough, and your speech is slow, your sleep is poor, you must persevere.'
In one of her last messages, she described feeling pressure in her brain, which the chatbot told her was simply the organ 'working hard to rebuild itself.'"

RT @agraybee: Don't you think it's weird that China stopped doing Maoism the second he died. Like literally the first thing they did was arrest his wife.

Read like half an hours worth of actual history on Mao Zedong (not written by a conservative/yank), and you’ll probably realise he is one of the greatest humans to have ever lived by the end of the night.

RT @agraybee: I never want to hear about how Americans are propagandized again. We learn about the founding fathers' slaves in middle school, meanwhile grown ass adults in China think Mao was under democratic constraints somehow.
Can't wait for my entire feed to be consumed by the inevitable Hasan-as-Buzz-Lightyear discourse for the next few days.
In all seriousness, this is a good example of how Hasan's public image gets laundered through his parasocial relationship with his audience. The boundaries between his public persona and private life have become increasingly blurred, with even something as ordinary as a Halloween party becoming content for mass consumption.
These seemingly innocuous moments help humanize him and soften the impact of his more extreme political rhetoric, particularly as he attracts more mainstream attention and becomes increasingly careful about how he presents himself.

This is true. Except for the Arab parties, nearly all of Israel’s factions agree on one thing: opposing a Palestinian state. The problem isn’t just about Netanyahu. That’s always been a cop-out to distract from a much deeper problem at the core of the contemporary Israel state.

Worst case scenario if what you wanted was a decisive result one way or the other. Now you have two opposing blocs of roughly equal size, and a substantial Arab bloc that neither of the other blocs are particularly eager to ally with.

Please stand back I’m about to become an expert in Israeli elections
RT @MarkZlochin: The video shows a fight between two rival Bedouin clans in Rahat. Everyone in the video is Arab - none of them are "settlers."
But I guess expecting Palestinian propagandists to stop making shit up is a bit too much, isn't it?

RT @AvivaKlompas: Bullshit alert. Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza should be voting in Palestinian elections. But the Palestinian Authority has refused to hold elections since 2006. And the Hamas terrorists in Gaza haven't held elections since seizing power in 2007.
This is the classic deception of so many Palestinian activists: blame Israel while pretending Palestinians have no agency or responsibility for their own future.

Israeli "democracy":
- 500,000 West Bank settlers can vote, but not the 3M Palestinians under occupation
- 230,000 Israelis in occupied East Jerusalem can vote, but not the 350,000 Palestinians under their rule
- The fewer than 2M Palestinians left in occupied Gaza cannot vote

LLMs remain undefeated in helping troubleshoot any kind of computer software/hardware problem I have. Gone are the days of trawling tech forums for random ideas. My shit has never worked smoother.
One huge benefit of doing repeated computer troubleshooting with ChatGPT is that it now knows what hardware I have and our tech support history, and it makes suggestions based on that memory. That alone has been a huge time saver.
RT @Claire_V0ltaire: You’re going to see a lot of unoriginal claims about Palestinians not being able to vote today. These aren’t pro Palestine folks, just Israel haters who would rather erase Palestinian political entity and the Palestinian passport which are direct products of the Oslo Accords - the most significant and internationally recognized bilateral step toward practical self-governance and direct negotiations.

How dumb do you have to be to complain about Palestinians who hold a Palestinian passport & are under Palestinian rule, not being able to vote for Israeli elections?
These are the same people who never complain that elections in Gaza and WB have not taken place in over a decade.

This is actually a point worth pointing out in all this. American commerce with China has a lot of benefits at the street level. Meaning that you out there reading this can get cheap and high quality products from China, and lots Chinese people get jobs 1/3
