Happy belated name day!

It is mind-boggling but it also makes it really easy to understand the world we're living in and how people actually believe the most insane and nonsensical stuff possible.

I just watched the video linked below and they talk about all of that as well. They also talk about protests (at Yale if I'm not mistaken) explicitly demanding divestment from weapons manufacturers, which seems very reasonable to me, regardless of how very profitable it must be. They have a Columbia professor on and going by what he says it seems the president's response to the protests might have been a tad exaggerated.

You mean the majority of those Jewish students who aren't part of the protests, right? Because there are many who are actively participating and marching and protesting against Israel's actions/government and have been from the get-go.

I have seen these as well, and I find them vile. Just as vile as the several Israelis, many of them government officials, spewing the same rhetoric. I think I understand the points you're making here, but at the same time it feels to me that you're engaging in a form of bothsideism similar to what we see in the media nowadays. Peaceful protests are one of the main tools civil society has to express itself and to try to have their voices heard. Should they be prohibited or repressed b/c of the odd 'extremist'? And keeping I mind that these individuals aren't always just people who are protesting for the same reason as the others but has more extreme views, they often are bad actors who are deliberately trying to sabotage a legal and valid movement.

Not me, there’s just nothing there, wherever “there” is.

Window to the soul for those who believe in the thing commonly called “soul”? What about those who don’t? Are we evil? Joking aside, I think the point of this pretty ridiculous photo is that the aviator sunnies are Biden’s trademark? And btw who is the other man?

Had just read that this morning. Is anyone surprised? I know I'm not at all. Indeed.

And he is just so pathetic I almost feel sorry for him.

And maybe Trump would be inspired by his surroundings.

Is that what was happening? The NHS was *blindly* handing out PB to anyone as if they were M&Ms?

Haaaaate the little MoFos! Can't say it's a phobia or even fear per se but I do fucking hate the bastards. Mosquitoes too.

This not in the shadow anymore war games are definitely concerning. Others might be concerned about other things as well... https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240420-israel-media-netanyahu-fears-arrest-warrants-requests-assistance-from-uk-germany/

Did you think about all of the above before typing it? Because it doesn't seem that you did. If one is concerned about children, or claims to be concerned about children and their welfare, then surely they must be concerned or at least have a deep interest in all issues involving the wellbeing and safety of children. Unless of course some of these issues are being used disingenuously.

Maybe it went to someone else w/ a similar username? I defo haven’t got it!

I know, it’s utterly depressing. But not unlike saying “civilians must be protected” while sending munitions nonstop. Will do but I got no notifications!

Did anyone expect the US not to veto it?

Too bad he’s not more old school and take insulin instead. Then Melania could go full Claus von Bülow on his fat arse.

FTFY

These sound terrible but at least they’re much more original than cockroaches!

What’s the question here? Haven’t had any coffee yet? You said long bike ride, joint, wine and I added a great playlist to that perfect combo. All together make for an amazing day out.

And a fantastic playlist!

Israel overdoing a response? Impossible, would never ever happen. /s

Yes oh yes. No problem at all w/ any other critter, not at all afraid or bothered, but cockroaches... yyyyyyiiiiiikkkkkeeeeeeeessss! And in the non-critter department, sleeping with socks on. Eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!

Sure, if we were reading an altogether different story. I don't know about reputation, I know only my opinion and that is that their stuff is usually ridiculous tbh. Instead of finding possible clues to something and trying to work out a cogent theory, they seem to have ideas they find interesting and then try to shoehorn these ideas into the text. It obviously never fits, but I'm sure they have their share of fans.
