I just save it all up for my annual, which I have to get because it’s in October/November and I need my flu/covid shot

I mean fair. You gotta bundle these things

this is true actually, Alito is the very worst of them, even moreso than Clarence Thomas

but Roberts is a hardcore partisan hack whose life’s goal has been to destroy the voting rights act and now to make Donald Trump a king and he should be treated with endless scorn

Yom HaShoah begins at sundown tonight. It’s an explicitly Jewish day of mourning. Just like August 2, Roma Holocaust Memorial Day is an explicitly Romani day of mourning. If you want to “All Lives Matter” the Holocaust, save it for International Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27.

Example: the memorial for homosexuals persecuted by the Nazis was dedicated on May 27, 2008 in Berlin. May 27 could easily be chosen as the date of an LGBTQ Holocaust Memorial Day due to this connection.

The internet, as public utility.

Nationalize AWS, while we're at it, for the same reason that the government maintains roads, to give everyone access to the rest of society.

You're either for this video or you're for the one circulated last night, and there's no in between

There is nothing wrong with celebrating something good. It’s necessary for survival.

Just watched the Artemis II re-entry and splashdown, which was almost textbook in how well it went. My main takeaway as a layperson following this mission is that it’s striking how much better NASA is at this stuff than the various private operators.

Honestly, I think the real lesson in this is that education is important and that when we get through all of this shit and are building a better world, every single agency has to have an education mandate like NASAs.
Especially science agencies but

NASA is one of the best things about this country. Hope. Innovation. Exploration. Wonder. Give them, the post office, and the national parks service all the money from ICE

NASA is so fucking cool

Oh shit, are you ok?

Israel bombing a synagogue in Tehran is the kind of symbolism that would feel too heavy-handed in a work of fiction.

But yeah. That tracks in this ridiculous timeline.

May God bring comfort and safety to the Tehran Jewish community.

Jesus Christ.

Thank God.

But Jesus fucking Christ.

Ice cream and eggos. I still don’t have a toaster though so the eggos are still frozen

car companies should revive their classic designs as electric vehicles with modern safety standards

Also NASA has an education mandate. Beyond the good science to come from there, the amount of science education alone would be worth it

I am not at barracks often but I will keep this in mind for my next Michael’s trip

If you watched the live NASA channel and all the NASA programming you’ve gotta give it up to some of the best science commentators in the business. NASA is absolutely masterful at this and it’s important to note this is a priority for them. Not many other govt orgs do this level of public education.

I mean that’s happening already

From your mouth to Gds ear

This is not the "reasonable minds can differ" kind of area.

This is "we fought a bloody civil war in no small part because of Roger Taney's perfidy; how dare you recreate it, you fucking shitweasels."

Wait where is this setting

I will likely regret this, but:

I am non-Zionist. I oppose ethnonationalism, full stop. I think the state of Israel has indisputably committed genocide in Gaza.

Antisemitism on the right is widespread, virulent, and deadly.

And the left also an antisemitism problem it HAS to address.

Platner is a trust litmus test for me at this point.

I will remember and so will a lot of other people.

That Jews now have to couch every plea against antisemitism with “I swear I’m not a Zionist, I’m one of the good ones” like we’re desperately trying to avoid being turned away from shelter is also a disturbing new development in being Jewish online.

there are so many assholes in this world, and jews are .2% of them

I had to walk out of class today for basically this. Normally I would have kept sitting there and write furiously in my notebook but today it was just too much. I’ll email my professor in the morning to explain and I have 750 words to elaborate but I just can not right now

If the cast wanted to make something new together, that could be cool. It's like how in old Hollywood you'd see clusters of actors together a lot because they were actually friends and had good chemistry. I'm in favor of that.
