There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

Seriously though. If a Senator accuses a sworn witness of perjury for saying he wasn’t at a particular game in Atlanta, and then it turns out he wasn’t at that game in Atlanta but actually in Maryland (700 miles away), then I suggest there should be a penalty beyond general mocking and derision.

Adam Hoffman was convicted of raping his friend's young son. He should be in jail, but Paxton used his power to get him on a misdemeanor. That means he only served for 60 days, didn't have to register as a sex offender in Texas, and then left the state.

Greatest trick AI leaders have pulled is convincing many people—especially influential people in govt, media, and business—that their software is intelligent, independent, yet never culpable. Humans build it, humans deploy it, but no one bears responsibility for the things that happen when they do.
