Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned today, a week after this:

I think if you asked the median person even on Bluesky to estimate exactly how many Jewish settlers live in occupied Palestinian territory most would be off by at least 300,000.

A lot of people believe, for whatever reason, that 1) settlers are few and far between in Israeli politics, rather than literally >10% of the Jewish population and in government, and 2) that settlement as an enterprise is not state-backed and state-ran.

There are ways in which settlement in Palestine mirrors the settlement of western North America, especially as it relates to the symbiotic relationship between settler and army against native, but the settlement process in 2026 is far more centralized than it ever was in 1830.

This feels like one of those rules that has a ... very specific ... genesis.

Vexatious litigant statutes should be extended to cover law firms, instead of just pro se litigants. If you file too many bullshit lawsuits, your firm goes into the penalty box where you have to beg for leave of court to obtain a pre-filing order.

Government respondents excluded.

I'm so glad this brave law enforcement officer is OK after being violently smirked at. Praying for him and his family

Hmm… my team has the worst pitching in all of Major League Baseball, leading in walks, HRs, WHIP, and BAA. Better make a trade for a utility infielder and pickup a random lefty bat off the waiver wire

My annual reminder that if you need to buy a window A/C this year do not simply buy the largest model you can afford. Energy Star has a sizing guide.

Why do you want an AC that is sized for your room?

Because an undersized A/C won't cool well and an oversized A/C will leave a space humid

No. Salathemder.

A good day to remind people that, around 2000 or so, Edward Said began routinely telling journalists and editors in his interviews that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory was now the longest in modern world history, after having surpassed the Japanese occupation of Korea.
