Of All the 'War Crimes' IDF Carrying Out in Lebanon, Israel Reserves Outrage for Destruction of Jesus Statue The Israel Defense Forces have caused devastation in Lebanon, killing thousands and displacing millions. Why does Netanyahu only speak out when a statue of Jesus is destroyed?

"Israeli soldiers have been posting images of their war crimes and cultural desecration for two and a half years straight without interruption."

It was really hard to fill out the mental health assessment paperwork at my yearly physical bc there's no box to check for "I've been forced to watch daily atrocities for years and that's caused some anxiety and depression for sure"

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Eight *kids* and I had to ask my wife about it when it scrolled by on local news. We're a nation with massive brain-poisoning.

Apropos of nothing, "I'd like Congress to grant me $1.5 trillion for a war I started with no goal in mind other than to steal the oil, and have no idea how to end."

If you're an attorney who is asked to work on this and don't resign, you should know that you're going to be a case study in professional responsibility classes for as long as you live.

Tell Congress to Protect the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument! Congress is voting to undermine protections for the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Send Congress a message urging them to vote NO on this reckless proposal and defend Grand Staircase-Esc...

The Sierra Club has a resource to let you contact your Senator/House Rep over that act.sierraclub.org/actions/Nati... and phone calls/hand written letters are other options to help your voice be heard. I'm thinking of printing out a Grand Staircase photo collage and mailing it to mine (7/7).

US tech firms successfully lobbied EU to keep datacentre emissions secret Legally questionable confidentiality clause adopted almost word for word from demands of Microsoft and trade groups

I dunno about y'all but I'm fairly sure we were sold out. Everybody involved needs to be held accountable for this, and the data centers need to be held not just to the same, but to higher environmental standards.

It’s fucking bizarre how people are acting like something from 2022 is something they can’t live without.

Like dudes, the emotional dependence on a sycophantic machine regurgitating nonsense to encourage you to stop engaging in critical thought and trust the slop is truly depressing to witness.

It should honestly be very simple: is it trained on copyrighted material? Done. Thats it. It’s illegal. There are no other arguments to be made. There’s all sorts of other arguments we can make after that, but until they fix that then it doesn’t matter. It’s illegal. They should be in jail.

When listing Target Corp‘s many failures over the last 2 years, please don’t forget that here in Minnesota, home to their effin’ HQ, they allowed 🧊 to hunt their own employees in their stores and stage their terror attacks on the surrounding neighborhoods from Target parking lots.😡

I know the media is positioning this as purist creators defending the art form from predatory capitalists and I love that. But the basic truth is that the merger is going to **** up the money long term for everyone but like three people.
