I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Do we all agree on what he slogan Free Palestine” means? I took screenshots of an illustrated post by Jordyn Tilchen on Instagram explaining how it was designed to be vague & sow chaos by not having a 100% clear definition. Please read this through this thread & understand the manipulation at work.>

THE PROBLEM WITH
"FREE PALESTINE”

It's probably the most successful slogan of the last decade.
It's also one of the least specific.
That's not a bug. It's a feature.

Thought bubble: “Okay, but… what does it actually mean?” (Asking for a friend)

In addition to eugenicist and neo-Nazi social media posting, Musk is a big supporter of the neo-Nazi Party in Germany and spoke at one of its rallies last year. He has a 1st Amend right to be a Nazi, but he’s a security risk and should have his govt security clearance and contracts revoked.

You know, if Apple & Google are committing themselves to simply adopt GNIS names, there's no reason for the next president not to direct GNIS to rename Lake Worth Lagoon (on which Mar-a-Lago sits) to The Rapist and Traitor Donald Trump Lagoon

You can now run Kubernetes 1.37 preview in GKE. Yes, OSS unreleased 1.37 😁 Alpha Clusters for now, try any API but the cluster has a 30 day limit so you don't depend before OSS is ready. Something I've been working on with a bunch of talented coworkers 🙂 docs.cloud.google.com/kubernetes-e...

I'm much less upset about the destruction of rare (old, out of print, niche) books by megacorps than I am about the fact that those books can't be digitized by libraries for public access or benefit because the former is legal and the latter is not.

Jews were like “hey, can you stop using ‘Zio’? It’s literally a slur coined by neo-Nazi David Duke and doesn’t actually refer to people who hold Zionist political positions, it just means ‘Jew.’” And people were largely like “lol get wrecked Zionist baby-killers.”

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

You do not have to give people “due process” before you choose not to vote for them. You can just be like “oh word the guy who wrote rape apologia and had allegations just got another serious allegation? Guess he doesn’t need to be my senator.”

"A Sanhedrin that would execute somebody once every seven years is a bloody court. Rabbi Elazar Ben Azariah says: 'Once every 70 years.' Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Akiva said: 'If we were on the Sanhedrin we would never have killed anyone!'" - Mishnah Makkot 1:10

The Knesset passed a bill today mandating the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of terror - but not for Jews. There is a word for a legal system where different legal standards apply to different categories of people. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Sorry, but if I find out that you hooked an AI agent up to a signal chat you’re in, I’m never trusting you with anything ever again

there's a lot of reason to doubt him! 1. the Nazi tattoo! 2. keeping the Nazi tattoo! 3. lying about the Nazi tattoo! 4. only covering up the Nazi tattoo after backlash! 5. he's written racist and misogynist things on the Internet! 6. HE'S SEEKING MORE POWER & HAS EVERY INCENTIVE TO LIE
