The two main tendencies in national Israeli politics right now are "expulsion and annexation of the Palestinian territories" vs "civil separation under the authority of an Israeli police state", and virtually all mainstream US commentary simply refuses to engage with this.

I think it is entirely possible that an election fought entirely about healthcare, rather than immigration, would be preferable for Democrats. But you're never going to get that, precisely because the other side understands that too!

the experience of COVID really drove this home for me. It wans't the apocalypse, life went on, but a million people died and there were enormous social costs, some of which continue to this day and then when it was done most people were like "let's never think about that again"

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Looking back from 2026, it is absurdly easy to draw an perfectly straight line from 9/11 to all the shit happening today. It's not even a stretch. From ICE blowing citizens' brains out in the streets, to rampant xenophobia/Islamophobia, to Donald Trump being an important figure... Straight Line.

At ~$0.07/kWh for electricity alone, $22M buys ~310 million kWh. A human spending 100W on average consumes ~64,000 kWh in 75 years. So $22M corresponds to the lifetime metabolic energy of roughly 4,800 people. This is brute force, not intelligence.

This is ADL's solitary statement after Nazis won state elections in Germany for the first time since the Holocaust:

ADL
@ADL
Ed Sheeran’s fans came for a concert, not performative, biased and hateful anti-Israel “activism” from his opener, Macklemore.

Imagine being a Jewish or Israeli fan who came with family or friends to enjoy the show, only to be confronted with this hostility from the stage. Or feeling so unwelcome by the opening act that you leave early.

This isn’t new for Macklemore. He has a record of demonizing Israel and Israelis, falsely accusing Israel of genocide and engaging in antisemitic rhetoric and behavior.

This is completely unacceptable.

(with embedded video of Macklemore's remarks on Palestine at the Ed Sheeran MetLife concert)
