Average American politician: of course I support a two state solution, no I don't support doing anything to achieve that. Why do you ask? Average Israeli politician: by my own hand, the two state solution will be shot and buried in the ditch of history

Democrats are getting the country closer to creating a filibuster proof majority to ban trans healthcare and sports for kids than the GOP ever could alone and they expect us to support them lol. reminder "surgeries" is a vague category that could easily include puberty blocker implants!

The election he tried to seize, people had also turned out in unprecedented numbers. By no means am I saying don't take this election seriously, but don't comfort yourself with the idea that the revocation of popular mandate will stop the facist. The results won't stop him from trying again

It's something I no longer worry about as much as I used to, because most women in the field are just as soaked in those biases as the men were. It was just delayed what already hamstrung care I'd receive

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.

Something deep inside me told me I should draw Donkey Kong today.
A four panel comic titled "Hours, Bananas, Doors."
Donkey Kong awakens staring at himself in a mirror, then stares down at his hand as he notices a strange watch on his wrist.
Staring at his wrist, the watch turns out to be one of the numbered bracelets from 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors from the Zero Escape series. It's Junpei's bracelet. For some reason.
Peach then asks a confused Donkey Kong, "Donkey Kong? Have you ever heard of the Parallel Banana Theory?"

The new stories, well, they're just not quite as salacious any longer. It doesn't whip up the "safety and security" crowd (who statistically live nowhere near where those were happening in the first place) in quite the same way.

In upside-down world, Justice Alito blames "the plaintiff States and the courts" for causing the late timing of USPS' attempt to interfere in mail voting by suing to stop it. Unmentioned by Alito: USPS issued the rule in violation of an injunction. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
Second, the plaintiff States and the courts bear a substantial share of the blame for the rule’s timing. In April, the plaintiff States sued to challenge the President’s internal directive to subordinates mandating a rulemaking. For months, this litigation cast a cloud over the Government’s ability to issue a final rule. The District Court entered several injunctions months later prohibiting the Government from undertaking that rulemaking.  Not only was the Government subject to months of premature litigation and a series of injunctions that this Court later determined were likely issued without jurisdiction, the Government had to wait nearly another full month for this Court to issue its decision so holding.  Indeed, this Court spent from late July to the end of August drafting nearly 40 pages of opinions, including two dissents, despite the Government’s public notice that it would not publish a final rule while subject to the injunctions, see 91 Fed. Reg. 44880, and its representation that it had a strong interest in issuing its rule in early- to mid-August to allow time to implement it.  The plaintiff States cannot claim the timing of the rule tilts the equities

There is also a massive difference between saying that one is demonstrably worse thsn the other and implying in any way that bsky users don't have to worry about insular or toxic dynamics. I think conflating those things isn't helpful, to put it politely.

X creates self insulating groups via algorithmic sorting so actually the former more than the latter. But certainly it can happen elsewhere. But to say that bsky is unique or worse than x in this is, I think, not reflective of the reality on the ground in both places. By a large margin.
