This is a big word salad intended only to be a link that can be passed around to donors to try to get one person's organization cut off from philanthropic funding.

Seems like that AOC's speech in Munich tomorrow will in some way address Palestine.
On a secondary note, it's very rare to see a US newspaper say outright that actual genocide scholars agree that Gaza has been subject to genocide.

This is wild because it confirms the fact that no one in a position of power at Ring had any idea that announcing the terrifying power of their panopticon to the largest, most mainstream television audience would lead to a massive backlash.

This is one million times more normal than snorting cocaine off of a toilet seat in a nightclub.

It's NOT true that Darwin owned an unread copy of Mendel's work Versuche über Pflanzenhybriden ("Experiments on Plant Hybridization").
He owned an uncut copy of Die Pflanzen-Mischlinge ("The Plant Hybrids") by Focke, which SUMMARIZED Mendel's findings.
Mendel, however, DID read Darwin's work.

What I think is fascinating is that Darwin went to his grave not knowing what the mechanism for heredity was and ruing that he was missing a fundamental part of his theory… and someone found a copy of Mendel’s book, unread, in his library.

At 91, Joe Pagliei is believed to be the oldest living Eagle.
He lives in a nursing home in NJ, where his confidence is on full display.
Pagliei lifts weights, is "big time" at poker, and throws the cards when he loses at bingo.

At 91, Joe Pagliei is believed to be the oldest living Eagle. It’s made him popular at his South Jersey retirement home.
Pagliei's seven games as a fullback and punter for the 1959 Eagles have bound him to a championship fraternity that lives on in a senior living facility in Cinnaminson.

Wonder how it would be received if someone were to open up and run a publication called Arab Insider which pays every one of its journalists 85,000 USD a year to look through people's social media and then ask Chuck Schumer if he condemns them

Bezos, the Ellisons and Musk answer to themselves, of course — but the alignment of the billionaires' decisions and Trump's interests seems well-enough explained as a simple matter of class solidarity. Bros before proles, if you will.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Palantir for California Governor? The Broligarchy Is Buying Democrats!
Palantir is spending millions buying Democratic and Republican politicians as it continues to make billions of dollars by gobbling up our data, helping ICE, and creating a surveillance state.

Thread. I really liked James Van Der Beek, but he supported RFK jr in the ‘24 election. His wife is a MAHA type health influencer. They moved to TX to a 36 acre ranch in 2020, and he’s worked steadily as an actor. He has two projects out this year. SAG insurance is very good.
