it is not civil when an evil person says evil things in a calm tone of voice.
conversely, it is not uncivil when a good person uses curse words to denounce evil things at the top of their voice.
it is evil to pretend not to understand this.

When looking at all U.S. mass shootings to include schools (2014–2025, 6,600+ cases), only two were committed by LGBTQ people.
By contrast, white men were responsible for more than half, around 3,600 incidents.
Facts matter. Myths don’t.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

These takes are incredible to me, because you'd never know from it that Iran has destabilized Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. Chickens coming home to roost and now they're concerned about shattered states and societies.
The Netanyahu government is entirely focused on the tactically realistic goal of destroying Israel's adversaries yet has no coherent strategic vision for what happens next after the Israeli military has shattered entire states and societies

8/8 There are no clean answers here.
But pretending Iran’s nuclear program isn’t a threat is the most dangerous delusion of all.
Sometimes, the least bad option is still the right one

ראיתי היום במצעד במו עיני איך שוטר שלא אהב שלטים שהגוש נגד הכיבוש הרימו על ג׳נוסייד בעזה, שלח את הבריונים שלו לחטוף אותם מידי המפגינים. אמר במילים. הם דחפו, תקפו והכו את המפגינים עם השלטים. האיום הכי גדול על המפגינים היו השוטרים שהיו אמונים על אבטחה של המצעד. זו לא דמוקרטיה וזה היה מחליא.

Since 2017, Turkish Lira has fallen 91% against the Dollar. Turkey should be an EM superpower, but under Erdogan it has experienced one currency crisis after another, hyperinflation and endless volatility. The idea that President Erdogan provides stability is an illusion. He provides the opposite.

The thing about chasing charging speeds on-par with gasoline refueling is that, as I've said zillions of times, day to day charging at home or work can be slow AF and you won't care (so for the love of god get more chargers at workplaces and apartments etc.) and also
ffs you could just be patient

Fast charging is viable, but experts say building the actual charging stations will be the tricky—and potentially very expensive—part.

Big kudos to Lithuania. When Russia first invaded Ukraine, Lithuania - like many other EU countries - saw transshipments to Russia spike. But - unlike others in the EU - Lithuania (red) cracked down on this trade and transshipments have stopped. Shame on Germany and Italy for not doing the same...
