Going back to Facebook after a while to catch up with friends, and it's amazing the number of random moon landing deniers commenting on Artemis II stories in my feed. I thought Nolan was exaggerating in Interstellar but now I'm not so sure.

Cette année je n'ai pas vu un seul film en nomination pour Meilleur Film aux Oscars... Je suis un peu déçu de moi-même. Haven't seen a single movie among those nominated for Best Picture this year... A bit disappointed in myself.

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

There’s absolutely no excuse for antisemitism. At the same time, lumping all left-wing criticism of Israel or the war into antisemitism shuts down real discussion. We can oppose hate and still allow debate.

one of the lessons i learned from the bush years is the right loves for the left to think they are on the fringe, that our voices dont matter, and that we are drowned out. it leads to the left being quiet and the right dominating the conversation. but we arent fringe and we should always be loud.

This odious white supremacist needs to learn some history. Not so long ago, it was common to see "Irish need not apply" in job listings in the United States. You know, the same type of pernicious prejudice that Elon exhibits regularly.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.
