I think it is more of a “please don’t draw attention to it while we work this out.”
Biden has been privately apologizing to Muslim Americam groups for the rhetoric.
While Jewish Democrats have the party so terrified that everything is antisemitic it seems like it is beyond repair at this point.
I remember reading about how the 1970s Greek junta trained its soldiers to torture.
First you stand guard outside the door, then you stand guard inside the room, then you're ready to learn torture.
Biden is standing guard inside the room, asking the rest of America to guard the door while the job gets done.
"All the world will stand with you together"?
LOL nope, your "plan" is what the Palestinians did after 1948, what the Irish did after the Cromwellian wars, what the Bantu did under apartheid, what Indians did under the Raj, what China did under the Unequal Treaties.
In each case, nothing changed until the oppressed were willing to organise and use force to gain leverage in negotiations.
Israel is the world's largest foreign aid recipient. End the aid, end the genocide.
Unfortunately, its become very clear that supporting Israel is not a "choice" for most Western politicians. Slippery self-serving fence-sitters on everything else, yet so many betting their careers "all-in" on Israel's right to commit genocide.
I'm sure Epstein's missing address book explains some pieces of this puzzle.
Alternative take: Santa Claus is a really good way to give children their first disconcerting rug-pull, and introduce them to a "people in authority lie all the time" worldview.
Happily I didn't even have to lie to my kids myself, they got to watch society do it in real time.
Love it!
But I feel its missing Matrix-style numbers scrolling, somewhere.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has described Israeli airstrikes on the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip as "Nazi practices."
In a tweet posted on X, President Petro accompanied his message with footage of the areas subjected to Israeli bombardment, stating, "They claim this is not Nazi-like; killing 5,300 Palestinian boys and girls is a Nazi practice, despite the West's reluctance to acknowledge this truth."

For when you want to trick a grid-tied solar system into thinking its connected to a grid, so you can use it offgrid / when the grid is down / disconnected.
Not that I would know anything about that!

The only American? No.
The only Congresscritter? Yes, I'm afraid so, though a few others have their moments

Interesting study on adolescent mental health.
Things that don't help: parental education, income, or race.
Things that do help: firm boundaries, love and attention, parents who believe in marriage.
Hard Right parents have the best adolescent mental health outcomes, but Hard Left can be good too.
In-This-House-We-Believe Neoliberals make the worst parents.
I can hear you all saying "Duh!": but good luck getting this kind of research taught in schools, accepted by social workers, seriously debated by policy-makers, or funded by most grant-making bodies.

Okay, how many Jews make Palestinian citizens? And generally every other point as it comes to Jews in Palestine.

The Samaritans of Nablus and Mount Gerizim are both Jewish and Palestinians.
I was impressed by how most of their community in 1967 preferred to remain in a gulag as Palestinians rather than accept Israeli citizenship. Maybe they know something about Israel we don't.
More have taken on Israeli citizenship with each generation (its a way out that other Palestinians don't have), but they remain Palestinians, and have a seat reserved for them in the PLO / PA.

Its even funnier when women buy modest clothing that is actually semitransparent in sunlight :-p
What kind of unobtainium is worth trading between systems?
(Right now, somewhere on the internet, someone is building an Unobtainium altcoin, with a block time of a gigasecond and using on of monero's cast-off hashing algorithms)
The lil' monsters know that I'm watching, that should be enough :-p
Hmmm. Depending on the neighbourhood, someone might try to steal it.
When it comes to beautiful women, every neighbourhood is a bad neighbourhood ;-)
