Right now, the PA/Fatah supports a 2SS. Hamas (sort of) supports a 2SS. The Arab League supports a 2SS. The State of Israel unequivocally and very explicitly does not! If you think a 2SS is the best path forward, you need to be focused on bringing Israel in line with the international consensus.

You think you know pain? My kids currently watching a french-anime series about magical princesses that somehow went for three seasons. That’s pain.

I get that this is a common belief of a lot of china hawks but why would the CCP risk a destabilising war with Taiwan where an awful lot of people would die when they can just maintain the status quo indefinitely? www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/8cd14b...

What would happen in a China–Taiwan war
There is today only one question that matters for Taiwan’s security: will the United States defend the island if it comes under attack from China?

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

You gotta just not care. I think so many people allow a small and vocal audience to shape what they say and do bc being intellectually honest and consistent in your beliefs is costly. But at the end of the day why have a platform if you won't stick to your guns

This week, I tell @jesseblack.bsky.social all about the history of masturbation in Australia and the dark attempts by doctors to "cure" Australians of their desire to masturbate. @tomwalker.bsky.social (as pinhead voice): "we're doing urethral stuff today!"

Man I generally like Deep Cut's stuff but this is some bullshit, lol. SME's in Australia are usually the worst offenders for tax compliance, wage underpayment and all other manner of shitfuckery. It's easier to hold large corporates to account for obvious reasons www.deepcutnews.com/p/small-busi...

In a similar way Australian society tries to mythologise WWI veterans and I’ll always remember a lad in my class (now famous) getting a weeks detention for changing the section of his school issued diary “for those who paid the supreme sacrifice” to “for those who paid for the supreme pizza”

There are two positions in Australian public policy: 1. Australia's debt is out of control and should be reined in through cutting spending and 2. Australia's debt is fine. To never be spoken: we should tax more. My kingdom for a leftist that wants to raise taxes www.afr.com/politics/fed...

I find this talking point so strange, because it just doesn't at all reflect any data I have ever seen? There are for-profit providers in the NDIS, sure, and you can critique that on an ideological basis. But there are almost no highly profitable businesses and a lot of NFPs

That wielding political power feels fucking awesome. And if you’ve never had a taste or if you’re the kind of person to whom the notion doesn’t appeal, you will struggle to understand why politicians behave the way they do

I’m glad that there’s been more coverage of this, but I must also point out that we - the actual Lebanese - have been saying that Israel’s goal is to make south Lebanon unliveable for nearly 2 years. I said this myself multiple times. We are simply not believed *because* we are Lebanese.

It is objectively a good thing for the state to support the unemployed and it’s understandable for Americans to want this too but I cannot stress enough that this is propaganda and the poverty in china is very real and the states response can be hostile, see Xi on “welfarism”

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

The report provides more evidence Australia’s world-leading social media ban isn’t going to plan.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
