100 stories about what Israel thinks, none about how MUSLIMS WHO LIVE IN NYC think about having a Muslim Mayor. Nothing to see here.

I'm seeing some organizers using this event to oppose immigrants and Muslims. "Taxes" is a catch-all for a white supremacy recruiting event.

It’s notable to me that neither the OR GOP nor their main (unofficial) social media promoter David Medina, has posted about this anti-tax protest in Salem tomorrow. I suspect they know to keep their distance.

That post has one of the more amazing things I found in the archive, a tape recording of a 1991 phone conversation between Walter Huss and one of his Arizona, anti-tax compatriots who he’d just met, where the conversation quickly turns to “the Jews.”
But the most astonishing thing l've uncovered in Huss's archive is a cassette tape of a 25 minute conversation he recorded in 1991 with an anti-tax activist in Arizona named Paul Eller who was also a big Mecham fan. Below is a 5-minute excerpt that takes place about 15 minutes into the call. This is the first time these two had ever spoken, and as you'll see, it didn't take long before they went from "taxes are too high, and Evan Mecham was a great governor, and it's a shame how so many Republicans sold him out" to "it's high time our side begins to recognize who the enemy is...it's the Jew." The first voice you hear is Eller and the second one is Huss.

Yes, it should be illegal. Sora does similar things. AFT should sever its partnership with OpenAI.

Since it's not illegal, please cut off your partnership with all "A.i." companies. As it is, you're helping mainline their dangerous products directly into schools.

For your consideration, a list of questions about your support of "A.i." in schools: bsky.app/profile/greg...

The article you’re sharing touts a teacher making students use “A.i.” to design ugly sweaters. That’s a repugnant use of tech based on theft to rob kids of the chance to use their own minds and hands to actually draw. Do you support that attack on human creativity?

With that kind of ambition, your chances of perfection are basically nil. But oh, the reach! How many people never even try because they know they don't quite have the talent to pull it off? The older I get, the more impressed I am at people doing imperfect work but doing it w/everything they've got

Also, once you start reading Stranger Things as one big allegory for child abuse, the whole thing hits real different. I have my snark about the slog of the editing and endless two-up talking scenes, but as a single piece of work, looking back on the whole thing, it's a really ambitious show.

Finished ep7 of Stranger Things, and it occurs to me that it's rare to see a show with so many frankly refreshingly nontoxic examples of masculinity. Look at all these young men talking about their feelings!! Hugging! Crying! Emoting! It's kind of incredible.

better than any parody
Bishop Robert Barron @ @Bishop...•1h There was a line from Zohran Mamdani's inaugural address yesterday that took my breath away. He said he intended to replace "the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism." Collectivism in its various forms is responsible for the deaths of at least one hundred million people in the last century. Socialist and Communist forms of government around the world today— Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, etc.—are disastrous. Catholic social teaching has consistently condemned socialism and has embraced the market economy, which people like Mayor Mamdani caricature as "rugged individualism." In fact, it is the economic system that is based upon the rights, freedom, and dignity of the human person. For God's sake, spare me the "warmth of collectivism."

Or maybe "desexed" means they're not having the specific kind of sex the author would like?
Actually, for a show ostensibly about ice hockey – a sport that lends itself to rousing storytelling, as Inside Out 2 beautifully demonstrated – there’s curiously little of it on display here. Tierney seems more interested in the ambivalent thrill of down-low fucking than any exploration of masculinity or homoeroticism in sport. The guys don’t even use their uniforms when having sex – which I find highly improbable.

Yep it totally sounds like this show has been "desexed"
www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
Heated Rivalry: this horny gay ice hockey drama has everyone talking – but is it any good? HBO’s new show is part of a wave of gay-themed romance – from Heartstopper to Red, White and Royal Blue – that desexes gay men just enough to make them palatable, like pets for young women Because Heated Rivalry does get heated. One minute aloof Russian player Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) is making eyes at meek local champion Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams), the next they’re wanking in the shower together. Then getting blowjobs in classy hotel suites. Pretty soon, the boys are going at it hammer and tongs – broken at regular intervals by months-long ellipses, waiting for the hockey circuit to bring them back into each others’ arms. This is also convenient for sexual tension, which would otherwise have to be developed through character and dialogue.

Like, the more historically accurate comparison here is “should a random person be able to call into battle an entire company if their feelings get hurt,” and I struggle to see anyone from the founding of this country answering that with anything other than “are you INSANE?!”

Would love for judges to spend more than half a second considering whether the Second Amendment, as written during a time when a well-trained infantryman could be expected to get around 3 shots PER MINUTE off, is at all applicable to modern firearms

9th Cir., 2-1, holds that open carry is protected by the Second Amendment even where a state allows concealed carry, strikes California's law banning urban open carry and its licensing law for open carry in rural counties.

cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...
Addressing Baird’s facial and as applied challenges to California’s urban open-carry ban, the panel held that California’s ban on open carry in counties with a population greater than 200,000 is inconsistent with the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms as applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. Applying the standard set forth in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022), the historical record makes unmistakably plain that open carry is part of this Nation’s history and tradition. It was clearly protected at the time of the Founding and at the time of the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment. There is no record of any law restricting open carry at the Founding, let alone a distinctly similar historical regulation. California’s failure to satisfy its burden to present evidence of a relevant historical tradition of firearm regulation is dispositive with respect to California’s urban open-carry ban.
