I think those of us in our 50s were thinking this about Israel for a while, but we cowed into silence. It feels only recently that one could criticize Israel for apartheid and genocide without everyone shunning you. Even Jimmy Carter was shunned. www.npr.org/2007/01/25/7...

Jimmy Carter Defends 'Peace Not Apartheid'

Former President Jimmy Carter defends his new book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. The best-seller has generated passionate criticism that it is slanted toward Palestinians and full of inaccuracies.

I mean this sincerely: I think pro Israel people really need to begin internalizing that this is not a fringe opinion anymore and in fact is very statistically likely to be the average view of any brown Democratic candidate for office or any candidate under the age of 50

This AIPAC press release lays out exactly why people are ANTI-AIPAC. It's all about defending Israel. Zionism. That is everything to them. And that's not ok.

⚠️ AIPAC out with a statement: “Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November.”

THIS!!! I don't get the appeal of LLMs because I have seen that they don't work well, or are immoral theft. So therefore I can't appreciate how using them to "complete a task" would feel good.

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

BREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson at a press conference today, “Should we bother asking you any questions about Max Miller, Trump’s latest Iran deal, or his Capital One scandal, or have you not heard about any of them yet?"

For non-WNBA watchers: The Minnesota Lynx are coached by Cheryl, and they are playing the Indiana Fever. The Fever have a transphobe on their team that has attracted a traveling circus of bigots, first to Portland, and now to Minnesota. Cheryl is doing what the WNBA as a corporation refuses to do.

I need something to tell at men who don't yield the sidewalk to me on runs. And tell at me for calling them out on that. Something that will get under their skin but isn't ableist or homophobic.

@transmascsociety.bsky.social hope you enjoyed the game yesterday. Excited to see you on the big screen

@sportscenters.bsky.social covering WWE like a real sport and for more time than they cover WPBL is offensive.

I'm a high school teacher and am looking for help getting breakfast bars for my students. It's tough to learn when you're hungry and my students absolutely love these bars to get them through the day. These are made available to all students. Any help is appreciated! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

If you happen to be an unlucky person stuck with an evangelical on a plane who is loudly preaching, just blast "Shake it off" at full volume. "Part of Your World," is also a classic. Might be able to get a full sing along "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat....."

Matt Gabriele@profgabriele.com · last wk.

The thing you can do to counter this is to play a Disney or Taylor Swift song very loudly so that when the “evangelist” posts the video they be hit with a takedown order

Tim Hortons is also doing a Harry Potter promotion. Speaking as a queer & enby ex-HP fan, genuinely fuck any goddamn business that pulls shit like this. The creator is an transphobic s*x**l *ss**lt*r, & you want to promote her work for "nostalgia"??? Fuck this & fuck any business that does this.
