Leftist, lacking patience for incurious, non-empathetic, narrow-viewed arguers. If you have to pick on any oppressed or marginalized group, you are not welcome.

Wikimedia says OpenAI agents made undisclosed edits, probed a hosted tool and generated traffic potentially linked to a Wikidata outage. The knowledge commons shouldn’t be an unpaid test range: agent operators need visible IDs, hard limits and accountability.

SUPPORTING PALESTINE @apirus.bsky.social · 20h
Israel is a militarist ethno-state,not a democracy. It’s answer to its fundamental problem — what does a Jewish state do with the indigenous Palestinian population? — is to entrench apartheid & ethnic cleansing, making laws that give Jews greater rights & waging endless wars with those who resist.
mondoweiss.net
American Jews’ continued support for Israel is very bad for Jews. We must wake up.
The Israel lobby is losing its grip on U.S. electoral politics, but it won’t go out without a fight. American Jews cannot wait to see how it plays out. The Jewish future depends on our awakening.

El-Sayed on Fox: "There is this argument you try to make often is that the best way to take this problem on is more war. How has that worked out for us? The war in Iraq which this channel spent years and years pressing -- has that made us safer? Are we more safe because of the war in Iran?"
