for any liberal that tries to argue that Biden was better on restraining Israel, just ask them if they know what his floating dock was used for.

Lot of really bad discourse on 'woke' and identity politics these days. I ofc do a big intervention in my latest video essay, but wanna give a huge shout out to @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social for writing this banger (which ofc I review in the video).

Cover of a book. Elite Capture, How the Powerful Took Over Identity politics (and everything else) by Olufemi O. Taiwo. The cover graphics has a hand plucking the dot from the letter i in Elite and a quote by Robin D G Kelley reading "Olufemi O taiwo is a thinker on fire"

Joe Biden is a genocide-enabling religious fanatic whose devout Zionism allowed him to continuously supply Israel with weapons while they committed a live-streamed genocide in the already besieged Gaza strip.

Why is billionaire-owned media suddenly coming all at once with pieces against drinking fluids. What is this manufacturing consent for. Is it building toward something. Should I be afraid

@wsj.com‬
You don’t need to make drinking water a part-time job since too much of it doesn’t have any real health benefit.

Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette?

I opened this up. 6 hours!? Video essayists have gone mad. But now, here I am, 2 days later, 4 hours in, and its very good. It's very thorough and, like any good video essay, expands in scope and breadth as it goes on. Highly recommend (but do watch it in parts).

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

The death of Ratko Mladić means nothing to me. He won. The West rewarded the genocide and handed almost half of Bosnia's territory to his political project. As long as the genocidal entity exists, no justice is possible. The monument to his crimes outlives him.

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.
