Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

I don’t care who the land belongs to. Jews have claims to land there over time. But claims ain’t shit. People can live next to one another in peace. Ethnonationalist states just simply cannot be allowed to exist.

the “don’t show up and let the other person debate an empty chair” strategy is pretty much always a terrible idea but honestly mike collins might want to try it at this point

This time, guys. This time Trump is gonna respect the Constitution and the voice of the voters accept defeat and walk calmly out of the White House and fly away to retirement. He's more mature now.

The thing about being a liberal or progressive in the South is you do not entertain The Noble Savage/Trump Supporter in a Diner thought whatsoever.

One of the key lessons from Dutch cycling history is cities didn't start with protected lanes. They began by making streets safer, calmer and more inviting; with lower speeds, parking restrictions, traffic filters and reduced through-traffic to create an environment in which cycling could flourish.🧵

Uh what? Literally none of this has been disproven. The Israeli government has literally said they wouldn’t blow up these places and then did it. They aren’t hiding it. It’s not a secret.

 I mean, they destroyed every mosque, they destroyed all the universities, they’ve leveled entire cities. This wasn’t all in a defensive move, and it seems like very little it was in the interest of defense at all. I think killing like 30,000 children is actually evil.

I mean what they are doing like murdering journalists and double tapping hospitals and herding people in to places like Rafa and bombing them doesn’t seem like it’s in the interest of keeping these people alive. Settlers are on another level of displacement that aligns with second class existence

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."
