My name was added to this letter without my consent. It is perhaps worth noting that it lists my old professional affiliation rather than my current one.

It may also be worth noting that I checked the letter when Nathan posted it and did not see my name, so it may have been added since last night.

@tedmccormick.bsky.social wondering whether you signed the recent “scholars for truth about genocide” letter because if not, and like @nkalamb.bsky.social, your name would appear to have been added without your consent.

The last thing my Twitter feed loaded before it went down was an ad showing AI renderings of various celebrities in Icelandic settings, as Vikings, etc. But you can only watch that so many times.

I know you're all wondering, "what are some good covers of Fairytale of New York I can listen to this holiday season?" and the answer is (in order)

#1. Christy Moore. Head and shoulders the best cover of this song, close to perfect, and a solo to boot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwXB...

I keep seeing stories about stuff like this happening for real, and I would just view it as the termination fee for our friendship.

Some truly horrendous covers of Fairytale of New York out there, stay safe this Christmas everyone.

The early leaders of Israel/the Zionist movement possessed a sort of twisted courage that allowed them to admit what was done to the Palestinians, while still seeking to justify it. With few exceptions (e.g. Benny Morris), most modern Zionists lack even that.

So much else has been/should be said about this, but why should the UNSC care about the hostages when Israel so clearly does not?

The closest a normal person will experience to being a secret agent is when you've interviewed for a new job but haven't told anyone in your current office yet.

You know, I *thought* I smelled unwashed hair and desperation.

Trump won the election. They are making a play, however feeble, to prevent more of their people from dying. Mocking this as stupid is genuinely disgusting.

I'm sure there's an easier way, but slowly winning the fight against anime art/furry erotica through a concerted muting campaign, then I just need to tackle the resist libs and twee millennials. We're getting there.

War criminals ignore yet another fake "red line" from their U.S. collaborators, will face no consequences as the genocide continues:

No offence to those who like it, but how do I make it so my homepage isn't, at a conservative guess, 60% anime art and furry erotica.

I think if I am kind, this will be a kind place.
