I don’t think this is quite correct. From 1948 until 1967, the West Bank was occupied by Jordan while Egypt occupied Gaza. The residents of that territory did not become Jordanians or Egyptians. They were stateless. Except the fault for their statelessness lay with Jordan & Egypt, respectively.

Honestly, i could use a therapy dog right now. And by therapy dog, I mean a dog that is willing to listen to me rage for hours and provide constructive feedback on my anger. And if ‘constructive feedback’ means biting me in the crotch, so be it.

If someone is extremely stupid, totally delusional, or both… are they no longer at fault for walking up to a giant kitty?

What happens when terror attacks against civilians (i.e., attacks with no military value) are unstoppable except by actions which will themselves kill massive numbers of civilians? There seem to be no practical ways to stop Houthis from attacking Riyadh. So what is the proper Saudi response?

No idea, but I have a picture of me as a kid walking next to Pete Seeger as we were singing ‘give peace a chance.’ So definitely a Pete Seeger song.

That’s kind of sad and doesn’t make me the least bit sympathetic for Carvey.

That feeling when, as an idealistic college kid, you proudly watch someone walk into the largest MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS, only to see them exit 20 minutes later with ‘The Turner Diaries’ & a white robe.

It would ultimately benefit the world if the Strait of Hormuz was closed & the US walked away.

I want a service dog, but I’m too OCS/neurotic to lie. As a result I’ve had a hard time finding a task the dog can legitimately help with. A dog that reacted to my anger would be helpful at times… but god forbid if it stopped me on the ver, vefy rare occasions that the anger was 100000% justified.

To be a service animal, the animal must be trained to perform an actual task related to a person's actual disability. Emotional support doesn’t count. A business can ask what task the animal performs. The problem is people a) lie, b) scream HIPPA violation (it isn’t), c) turn aggressive. So…

The party of Eisenhower & Reagan has embraced authoritarian Russia. This is because it’s filled with corrupt would-be oligarchs & kleptocrats. It is an enemy of democracy & freedom.

Ken Jennings came from the sky with a flying elbow and still managed to come away looking righteous. To be destroyed like this? An honor, I think.

Sorry, If Liliana gave a shit about correcting what Clinton did 34 years ago, they’d be backing current Democrats instead of attacking them. Lilliana doesn’t. Liliana would rather preserve their anti-democratic cred than see Republicans defeated. The status quo helps them.

I spent about an hour researching this claim on Thursday. It is unsourced, the location is wrong & the company denies its project will have any impact on the trees that are a mile from the proposed data center. If someone establishes the legitimacy of the threat, be furious. But no one has.

A bit disappointed, honestly. Not about ‘I did not end up arrested.’ That’s great. But ‘I’m normal’? Yup. am definitely disappoint.

We should NOT lose sight of the CENTRAL role of the far left in upholding, expanding, and enabling this system that seems to horrify so many people right now. It really cannot be said enough… The Intercept and its supporters are as effective as any MAGA op in destroying informed democracy.

I’ve seen a partial and a full. I erred in focusing on taking pics of the full. They were great, but better to be in the moment. Anyway, the nature of light changes. Shadows change. I know it’s in my head, but it felt like sound & pressure changed. Really magical (and i don’t believe in magic)

On the one hand (as a layperson) it seems like total ACE should rise with global warming. OTO, it does seem like a trending metric that is difficult to judge, historically, due to the poor state of satellite technology in the 19th & early 20th century.

Is annual accumulated cyclonic energy in the Atlantic showing any significant trend?

it’s the hypocrisy and I’m not the one cosplaying as a high-T warrior.

I’m not familiar with the mKlob, but note that the strongest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded was Hurricane Wilma (at 882 mBar), with winds increasing as pressure decreases.

Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. You should do a search for ‘pictures of Gaza in 2022.’

It’s difficult to imagine any response against Hamas post-October 2023 that wouldn’t have been immediately labeled genocide. Your second assertion feels like it was the motivating point behind the terror.

For better (and sometimes worse), the mental gymnastics of law school strengthened my innate tendency to explore the counterfactual. But even among attorneys it can be a scary, dark art. If you can speak of the problem, perhaps you are implicitly part of the problem.

(I’m actually kidding about the ‘not liking part.’ If I could stay in New York year round, I would. Except mid-March through mid-April… that’s just mud with no planting, no blooms, no skiing, no snowmobiles & dreary fishing.)

I used to have a problem with my neighbors in a somewhat upscale neighborhood stealing my mangoes, mamey & citrus. Pretending people only steal out of necessity is such naive cope.
