Watched My Cousin Vinny again. It is a perfect movie. And very political. I had missed that.

Marissa Tomei is the reason I have a type. First woman I was attracted to, before I even knew what that was.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

I wrote a blog post about how the new iPad update will not make more people use it.

Window Management will not save the iPad
Apple made a computer that is quite good at a few things. Too bad those things don’t make any money.

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

THE GAS BELONGS TO GAZA! 🇵🇸

Tel Aviv granted 12 gas exploration licenses to companies in areas within Palestinian maritime zones.

This is a violation of international law, as 20 nautical miles from Gaza's coast fall within Palestinian maritime jurisdiction 🤬🤬🤬

Everyone keeps harping on about what is a dad movie and all of y'all are wrong. None of you will ever know what a dad movie is until you hang out with your dad while he's watching Guns of Navarrone for the 19th time. Now that is a Dad movie.

This is far more egregious than Cambridge Analytica. However, nobody in media is covering this.

Hasbara: "There is no starvation in Gaza."

Also Hasbara: "There is starvation in Gaza."
There are people starving in Gaza! This is Evyatar David. He was abducted from his home on Oct 7th and has been held in the Gazan tunnels since, enduring horrific circumstances and starvation. This is why we’re fighting in Gaza, this is why Hamas must surrender.

Holy shit, Maus is good. Last time I read it was for an undergrad world lit course, and I’ll just say that I missed a LOT. And it could only have worked exactly as it is—as a graphic novel.

Islamist parties are some of the only democratic forces left that oppose US backed dictators. The Muslim Brotherhood does not survive because of reconfigured antisemitic tropes that the American right loves.

They are the only alternative.
The primary opposition to the Shah was from the clerics and hey, imagine that, they filled the power vacuum after he was toppled.

America as good as put Pol Pot in charge as well.

It’s very easy to unleash violence and very hard to control what happens next.

Yeah this seems plausible to me

We blame Trump, but this is an Israel-driven escalation of a conflict Kamala was fully behind. Trump might have had a greater propensity to act, but that's a minor factor in the scheme of things
The ‘should have voted for Kamala’ tweets are the stupidest.

She’d have ordered the strikes, but offered to plant a tree for every 100 cubic tonnes of CO2 released by the bombs.

If you are any country.

Ukraine is in its situation because it gave back the nukes.
If you're a country in the Middle East, why wouldn't you do everything to get a nuclear weapon after witnessing what US and Israel did to Iran which DID NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON?

It's all escalation by the dumbest people ever.

Diplomacy worked but Trump and Netanyahu blew it up.
