Yes. But it is objective reality.

And the rest of the world would be doing the Palestinians an enormous favor of they told them that in no uncertain terms.

It matters because Palestinians have zero leverage. Their choice is either make peace and build a future, or keep fighting a losing battle, and ensure that their children never have a chance.

Israel can wait.

Israel is thriving.

The silver lining here is that because the Republican supreme Court so vastly overplayed their hand here, they might inadvertantly have saved the nation from a fascist takeover.

Hear me out:

Joe Biden was previously doomed to be a 1-term president. The last election was an anti-Trump referendum, and it was a squeaker! Very little abundant base was actually excited be voting for Biden.

Heading into the next election we were ALWAYS going to have a mediocre Biden presidency, where none of our major crisis was solved, because Biden never aimed that high to begin with. It was never going to be enough to excite the base on the left.

And worse, with Republicans controlling the House, the second half of Biden’s term was doomed to be a do-little presidency. Going into the election we were going to be asked to vote for a man who hadn’t done much for the last two years, and who never even talked a good game about the radical change we need (universal healthcare, universal basic income, removing ALL student debt, etc).

Trump being back in the ballot helps a bit, but I’m not sure people are still feeling the immediacy and the urgency to keep him out of the oval office as they did at the end of this last term.

It was going to be another squeaker, and my money was on the Republicans because of their ability to ratfuck the vote with gerrymandering and voter suppression.

But NOW we have the supreme Court lighting a fire under the left. They struck down roe, and they struck down student loan forgiveness.

That may be enough to put us over the edge.

Literally every time I want the remote.

The version of this technology that I would love to see is for each individual to have a database of people they’ve met before, so if you meet them again, your smart glasses can prompt you with their name and notes about them.

Basically Google allows you to do this in a limited form with Google Photos, minus the ability to do live recognition

What we need is a left-wing candidate to win a primary, and pull the party to the left the way Bush and Trump pulled their party to the alt-right

That might largely be a rephrasing of the same problem.

The main probably with scientific publishing is that our threshold for statistical significance is way too low.

If we allow the threshold to sit at a 1 percent chance that results of the study were random chance, it means that 1 percent of all publications at that level of certainly are going o mislead the public if the media reports on them. And with the volume of research published every day, that adds up to a LOT of misinformation.

It’s not even bad science, it’s bad reporting and widespread scientific illiteracy. But neither of those are going away.

This was REALLY close to being a great cartoon, but then they had to oversell it with the “for sale”.

Appeals courts NEVER decide fact. They are there to see if there has been an error of LAW.

Oh, it was nothing more than just showing off the technology, really. It wasn’t a committed bit.

I cloned my voice then left a voicemail that said something like: “hey buddy it’s me. My car broke down and I’m at… Actually I don’t know where I’m at. I walked to the gas station and borrowed this guy’s phone. He said he’ll give me a ride into to town if I can get him $50 bucks. Could you venmo it to him at @franks_diner? I’ll get you back as soon as I can find my phone. … By the way this is really me, definitely not a bot pretending to be me.”

In jury trials, judges don’t decide fact. It would be fine.

I love watching folks who think of themselves as good people unabashedly defend terrorism (just so long as it’s only happening to Jews).

The alt-right are a cancer on the nation.

This is nothing to get excited about. Like so many other things there will be constant innovations on both sides. It’s an arms race between the scammers and the scam detectors.

Or that we’d be happy with Liz Cheney?!

Good. Hamas is an evil organization.

The shame of it is that the international community didn’t come down harder on Hamas decades ago.

The international community should have fully cut ties and aid to Palestinians the moment they elected Hamas.

Instead it’s just, “oh sure, your leaders have the genocide of Jews in their written charter, and proudly admit to targeting children, but here you go, have a cookie.”

Going to an anti-Israel rally is being anti-Jewish in the same way that cops who do stop and frisks are being racist.

There may be no hate in your heart, but your selective targeting of one group over another is playing into a bigoted system.

Like, I’m sure the anti-Israel protesters are just as outraged about North Korea, China, all the Arab countries that are oppressing women, killing homosexuals, and are so anti-Jewish that they’ve killed off or exiled their entire Jewish population.

… But they only ever get around to protesting Israel.

Who?
