Come on we just had an election about this
"Pressed for an actual misstep, she [Harris] added not doing more to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel for how he was waging the Gaza war “as it related to innocent Palestinians.”

Harris in an interview with the New York Times concedes that the Biden admin should have done more.

Most Israeli politicians should be sitting in cells in the Hague
Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir and other members of the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party wore golden noose-shaped pins to a Knesset National Security Committee meeting to discuss a bill to execute Palestinian detainees.

Sometimes you think “Oh my fetishes aren’t THAT crazy” and then you see normal people talk about sex and they don’t want to see blood or bruising and I’m reminded I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo, what the Hell am I doing here?

I would simply ramp up defense production on actually useful products (155m) (tlams)
This is a wild framing.

The US can dominate everywhere in the world except 7000 miles away at an island 100 miles off another superpower’s coast.

Very shitty people who become opposed to other very shitty people are still very shitty people

LESLEY STAHL: You contributed to the toxic culture. You were out there pounding, insulting people

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You've contributed to it as well

STAHL: I want you to respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people

MTG: I'd like for you to respond to that

Worth re-reading this seminal 2017 essay from Ta-Nehisi Coates, in light of everything that's happened since. To say it still stands up would be an understatement. A genuine tour de force. Very impressive.

I don’t like it when it gets dark early unless it’s cloudy. If it’s cloudy it’s cozy, but when the sky is clear the early setting of the sun makes me sad

The egos of people who lead organizations formed for nominally noble causes are often bloated
something I think is underdiscussed about employment/capitalism discourse is that abusive/bad labor/management practices are probably more common in nonprofits and trendy organizations that people on the left are likely to work for than big boring office companies

Does it matter what people think of you? It would certainly seem to matter to those who rely on approval or at least acceptance. No man can know what people think of himself. Even if the words are formed and hurled at their recipient, those words cannot truly reveal the extent of emotion.
