The reason why you see a bunch of accounts all suddenly start posting the same phrase at about the same time is because there's a bunch of GRU interns at setups like this and they get a slack notification and start copy/pasting the marching orders given to them

“'No one bothered to check whether the accusation was true.’” So, an Australian Jew who was born in Israel but emigrated to Australia at 18 years old and never served in the Israeli military and is pro-Palestine was listed as a ‘sponsor’ for the event b/c she donated to the crowdfunding campaign.
“I am Jewish. I was born in Israel. I emigrated to Australia when I was 18. I did not serve in the military. I have never expressed any anti-Palestinian views. I really wanted to believe that "zionist" wasn't a dogwhistle for "Jewish" but I don't know what else it could be here.

No one bothered to check whether the accusation was true. The first I heard of any of this was this morning, when Freeplay told me they were refunding my donation and removing me as a sponsor because my mere name being listed "has created an untenable environment" for their speakers. I was stunned”

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

I think people in a lot of democracies are gonna keep voting out their governments for failing to turn back the clock to before Covid, left or right. There's other factors but it mostly boils down to that. It's gonna be a few decades before there's enough generational turnover for that to phase out.

The trolley problem. The road runner is on one of the trolley tracks, and Wile E. Coyote is in charge of the switch.

When he throws the switch, the trolley falls vertically through the tracks. A trick of the perspective means he is actually underneath, not beside the track, so he is flattened by the trolley.

Reinforcing this is that Muslim families are heavily involved in the horse trade in China's West, so the idea makes logical sense. (In truth, he's an imported Indian deity around the 7th c., one of the many forms of Avalokitsvara, who gets an esoteric form first before becoming a rural god)

Why? Because the word for horse (ma) is the same as the most common Chinese surname for Muslims (which in turn derives both from Muhammed and from the Syriac 'Mar', part of surnames among Turkic groups that later Islamized). So since the horse god is King Ma, he must be from a Muslim family.

one of my favorite Chinese religious beliefs is that there's a prominent deity called the Horse King, who is the protector of equines, especially for draft labor. Sometimes around the late Ming, a conviction arises that the Horse King is *Muslim* - and therefore you sacrifice lamb, not pork, to him.

Still obsessing about Broadview 6. FBI testimony DOJ attempted to hide reveals they decided to focus on Joselyn Walsh NOT based on her conduct w/the SUV, but by googling, "guitar girl Broadview ICE," which would bring you to this post showing her playing music and complaining bc her guitar was shot.

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
