The attempt to cleave Gaza and the West Bank from one another is literally a prime Israeli stratagem to prevent a viable partition and yet liberals intentionally/unintentionally echo the rhetoric of Israel on this all the time.

One thing which is worth noting from this ruling is that occupied Palestinian territory is a single territorial unit and it is meaningless to say that Israel has "withdrawn" (fake anyway) from one section while consolidating control over two others. That means the occupation has continued.

Always funny when ostensible liberals are like "You see, this postcolonial conflict is actually very nuanced and complex, because what makes it so very unique is that the majority ethnic group doesn't want to share power with the minority ethnic groups." Oh wow, I didn't know that, that's wild man.

Every time people try to write ecohorror, it's always like ouu what if mushrooms took over, what if the forest swallowed civilization. When there are already man made distortions of forests that are beyond perverse. Have yall ever seen the Finnish owned paper mills in Uruguay.

i was on my college conduct board. i do t think anyone can get mad at me for telling you: 20 years ago, a student threatened his female friend, took her by the shoulders, and shook her. you know what we did? we expelled him. that was "all" it took. he laid hands on a girl, so we kicked him out.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

Oh, this is a great opportunity to share some history!! The state of Hawai‘i has this flag because this was the flag of the sovereign Kingdom of Hawai‘i (1795-1893). This flag survived the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893, and its subsequent annexation to the U.S.
The flag of Hawai‘i with a Union Jack in the left corner, and right alternating stripes of white, red and blue. Each stripe represents the eight major Hawaiian islands of Hawai’i, Maui, Kaho‘olawe, Lāna‘i, Moloka’i, O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, and Ni‘ihau.

I find it fascinating that so many estranged parents view the estrangement as an incident, not as a process. So it's forums full of Boomers going "She stopped talking to me because I said her haircut was bad! She's so UNREASONABLE!", when, in reality, they've been shitting on their kid for decades.

I think the problem is that while land swaps may be part of a negotiated final status agreement, the assumption that they will be means it's treated as not a real concession by Palestinians. The starting point is zero land swaps, eviction of all settlers, and full right of return.

Worth noting by the way that the land swap formula only became so common in Western lexicon under George W Bush and then Obama foolishly reaffirmed it. And then Trump declared settlements to be legal and recognized Jerusalem and the Golan as Israeli territory and Biden foolishly reaffirmed that.

It is indeed outrageous that Jews and Palestinians are treated differently under the law in the West Bank. Someone should do something about that.

One wonders when, or rather if at all, the Europeans will ever show an ounce of spine and internal solidarity in response to Israel repeatedly, and illegally, expelling European diplomats from missions to a country that is not Israel and whose posts are not on Israeli territory.

Of course, much of D&D's how-to-play-this-game text is so far at odds with the experience of play its rules actually foster as to be functionally deceptive. However, this is not unique to D&D; see, e.g., the "ask 3 different PbtA games what 'fiction first' means, get 5 different answers" phenomenon.

The irony of the perennial "[insert indie darling here] is bad because it tries to dictate to you now it should be played" thing from the D&D crowd is that D&D also spills a tremendous amount of ink explaining how it ought to be played; they just don't know that because they never read the books.

As a kiwi, it's hard to look back on the production of those films fondly when their success directly contributed to Jackson and Walsh being able to lobby the government to make film workers independent contractors by default unless their contract says they're employees

Like, no, John Rhys-Davies refusing to learn stage-fighting and clobbering the orc performers full-force even after they asked him to stop isn't a cute story. Viggo Mortensen deliberately leading horseback extras into a field of uncleared munitions isn't a cute story. They shouldn't have done that.

I tend to be of two minds about those "funny 'Lord of the Rings' production anecdotes" articles that keep going around because 90% of the stuff in them is just weird stuff that happened, then the other 10% is about an actor endangering the lives of the stunt performers for no reason.

Every day I'm confronted with the reality that a large portion of this hobby's participants looked at that "player showing up to a game of 'Vampire: the Masquerade' with a half-elf druid" anecdote that did the rounds recently and genuinely thought the GM was the bad guy for rejecting that character.

Eventually we're going to have to acknowledge the fact that we're not going to be able to constructively address the GM burnout problem as long as our definition of "bad GMing" includes "having any preferences whatsoever about what kind of game they want to run".
