Jewish institutions, even Zionist ones, should be falling all over themselves to embrace Zohran because his anti-Zionism is really clearly rooted in nonviolence and humanism rather than antisemitism. And yet!

programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like "GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds. GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping. See why Microsoft, OpenAI and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows." and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is
Gender Studies is the most vindicated academic field of all time
this is explicitly genocidal

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.
Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.
Haiti TPS is safe for now.
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
Re-upping my pitch for a fantasy trilogy set in a democratic republic in which there are two major parties, the Good party and the Evil party, and they regularly alternate in power, campaign on platforms of good vs evil, but often the electorate decides based on kitchen table issues.
Yep. If they can hold the Strait Hostage longer than Trump is willing to put up with the economic damage they will win.
One of the instances in which it is actually emphatically true that by stifling left-liberal criticism of Israel on a liberal basis you just leave open room for nutjobs to do it and fill the space instead
The Arab Spring was where we saw the cracks of the autocracies. With the rise of renewables, electric cars, and everything that can break their hold, they have fought. Now faced with a situation where the US can't protect them, I revel in those cracks they thought paved over spidering.
Basically all of the bad economic news this term is because the president deliberately decided to do something moronic. He is much more personally responsible for this than most presidents are for the downturns in their administration.
All fascism is cruel, not all cruelty is fascism
It actually hurts other pro-Palestine politicians like Mamdani and Abughazaleh to lump Platner in with them and pretend like the bad-faith accusations of antisemitism lobbed at them are similarly bad-faith when lobbed at Platner. This is why someone like Platner can poison a progressive coalition.
There was MUCH less evidence for antisemitism from Mamdani than there is from Platner, but the fact that some Jews had concerns led Mamdani to do lots of Jewish outrage, meet with Jews, go to synagogues, and such. Platner is notably not doing that.
It is impossible for anyone younger the 50 to understand how grotesque and unoriginal this is. It’s always the small group of advisors or tactical team.
“I’m Cuban American. For the sake of both countries, Trump’s siege must end.” @dannyvaldes.bsky.social for The Guardian:

Honestly, our Iranian adventure is a perfect parable for Trump's governance at home: build nothing and wantonly destroy everything, all the while skimming as much off the top as possible.
Bobby. You’re next, sweetie.
Graham Platner really is a beltway guy’s idea of the kind of working class person the Democrats have lost, that is part of why they are backing him so hard.
He’s probably going to win despite it all, because this is going to be a wave year for outsider Dems. He will be the main one they cite.
It's abundantly clear that Trump & team had no plan for what to do if the Iranians didn't immediately surrender. And I'm sure they were told by the professionals that an immediate surrender was highly unlikely. So now they're floating random low-probability options while lying their asses off.
Obama’s change in policy towards Cuba and the JCPOA happened, the world didn’t end, everything was fine. Part of manufacturing consent for more war is purposefully forgetting the very recent memory when it was proven to be wholly unnecessary.
Fuck, remember that old Bluesky drama where a person was getting packages stolen off their porch and a group of folks decided that the only ethical response to this was to try and give the thief money and started harassing the person for not doing that?
Don't give me the confidence of a Platner fan trying to explain to Native American and a Jew that no, the US flag is a worse hate symbol than anything the Nazis used
This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.
I keep saying that the outcome that nobody is pricing in is "enhanced coding efficiency causes induced demand"
Listen man I'm so happy I'm a soft-handed scribe. This shit rocks. I get to use my brain and make a lot of money writing special Poasts. My great-grandfather would have murdered someone to ensure that his descendants could have my job.
we are not making any attempt to establish democracy. in fact we are systematically murdering the Iranian opposition.
this is essentially correct. the united states is a worse actor at this point than putin is.
