    Thank goodness the killer of a poor schizophrenic black man is free and the killer of a wealthy white death merchant is in custody

    “Chernobyl” came out just over a year ago, and a popular center-right talking point was that it showed how communist misgovernance inevitably leads to preventable mass casualties (up to 16,000 deaths across Europe have been traced to that disaster). Anyway, just thinking out loud

    Watching the end of Andor, then Rogue One, then A New Hope rocks, because the plot and the aesthetic are basically seamless, but everyone in the galaxy gets way stupider over the course of maybe a week

    You wouldn’t either if we didn’t pay for it
    A reminder to the West: you guys don’t have Iron Domes. So shut up while we take out the trash.

    I understand that tens of millions of Americans voted for this and most of them are just poorly informed and propagandized. But if you have an elite degree, read real newspapers, and voted for this—and let’s be clear, he said he was going to do all this—you are too stupid to live

    It’s ableist to criticize sieg heiling now
    As a person with a *strong* track record of criticizing Elon Musk, I feel extremely confident asserting that this was not a Nazi salute. Elon Musk is a friend to the Jews. This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don't need to invent outrage.

    When he says "from the river to the sea" we give him high-tech weaponry to carry it out; when some college kid says it we blacklist them from future employment
    NOW - Netanyahu: "In the future, the state of Israel has to control the entire area from the river to the sea." x.com/i24NEWS_EN/sta…

    23,000 Palestinians are dead and probably a million are homeless. Not everything is about your feelings
    I'm heartbroken by the ICJ case. At the end of the day, this isn't about "genocide," use of force, Palestinian sovereignty, Israel, or Zionism. This is about a lot of people in the world wanting Jews to be powerless and dead. We are not going backwards in Jewish history again.

    I don't think Biden is dead, and jokes aside, I don't want to speculate on his condition. But one of two things is true: a. he's not okay and we're not being told, OR b. he's fine and yet MIA during an unprecedented crisis Either way, the Biden campaign is failing the public.

    So to review: a protester accidentally poked a right-wing provocateur in the face with the spherical tip of a small flagpole, resulting in no injury, and multiple media outlets reported it as a Jew being stabbed in the eye. Meanwhile tens of thousands of Palestinians are dead.
