Peltola saying she wants to ban trans women from women's bathrooms is really ugly. Its effectively a ban on trans women in public life.

A Promise Don't help the cruel. Forgive yourself and those who love. Be a wall against attackers, Even in dark and cold. We might not see reward, The cruel will enjoy others' labor. Nothing is a guarantee, Only change is salvation.

The position of mainstream US/UK Jewish communal organizations is that the West Bank is in NO WAY part of Israel and it's unjust to judge the Israeli state by its actions there, but also you're obliged to treat it as if it's an inalienable part of Israel in every other way.

Apparently the state of the art user interface in electronic medical record design is to make you do the thing *twice* to avoid error. E.g.: deleting a med from the med list? Do it twice! Ordering an opiate? Do the same key strokes, but more of them! You can imagine how clinicians love this.

New York Magazine says in response to criticism of its latest issue that “genocide” is “an accurate description of the atrocities in Gaza [...] and that accusations of antisemitic intent were in fact obfuscating an overwhelming scholarly consensus, and that its use would be allowed in our pages”

Some objected to the magazine’s use of the term genocide to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza. Close readers will recognize that this was not a decision specific to this series. This past fall, after an extensive review of genocide scholarship and interviews with multiple experts in the field of genocide studies, the magazine’s editors decided the term was an accurate description of the atrocities in Gaza, that accusations of antisemitic intent were in fact obfuscating an overwhelming scholarly consensus, and that its use would be allowed in our pages.
