I am now at the "I put my own writings, which I literally wrote myself just now, and about to send to someone with authority, into pangram, just to make sure pangram doesn't think AI has written it" stage of panic.

The main purpose of these rules is not to keep foreign students out. It is to kill higher education in the United States.

Chaim Peri. Artist, curator, activist, in an anti-occupation protest. Kidnapped by Hamas to Gaza, when he was 78 years old. Abandoned by the Netanyahu government. Died in February 2024 in a tunnel in Khan Yunis (according to Israel, he was executed by his abductors during a Israeli air raid).

They said they are going to dismantle the administrative state, so they're doing it. The problem is that the administrative state is the only state. There is no other state.

TBF, I had every intention to buy this car. I went into the dealership with the intent to buy it for sticker. But then they offered me a brand new Equinox EV for almost the same price. I'm not sure what's the strategy behind pricing out your own models, but I did not argue. I took the Equinox.

If you vote "yes" on CA prop 40, but also vote "yes" on props 41 and 42, congratulations! You have been fooled (prop 41 and 42 are explicitly designed to undo prop 40). There is also the possibility you're just stupid.

This proposition effectively will undo prop 40. We might as well just go home now.

I was very optimistic about the midterms, but now the Brazilian elections outcome is making me very worried again. I'm no longer optimistic about the Israeli elections, but that materialized before the Brazil stuff.

Seems like if you're going to make a national story out of Hasan Piker, who campaigned a few times with the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, saying Israel causes antisemitism, you should also make a national story out of the favorite intellectual of the US Vice President supporting Hitler.

Which is all a long-winded way of saying: These debates about Zionism and anti-Zionism are mostly unhelpful right now, and I wish everyone could just drop these terms unless speaking historically and talk about their political vision for the future in other terms.

"The version of Zionism the Israeli government put forward is racist" is a completely defensible and true statement. But that's not what the resolution says, is it?

Again, this is not about the literal taxes. This is about power. They have no problem paying the tax. They wouldn't feel it. What they are worried about is a well-funded government, and a well-to-do middle class. They can't have that.

Incredibly hard and graphic watch, but absolutely necessary to see what the animals of Hamas did on October 7th. No v/o narration, just videos from Nova festival attendees and body cams of Hamas pigs literally hunting people down and murdering them in cold blood. Assholes called it "resistance."
