The era of unconditional aid to Israel is coming to an end. Possibly slower than Americans think, there's still a bipartisan cushion for it in Congress, but much faster than Israelis realize

I think the incel guys may have the beat, but they're running a hell of a race.

There was a restaurant in Iowa City that made really great French dip and it went out of business during COVID. I was so bummed. I haven't had one as good as that ever since.

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

if you are "sick" — which, again for RFK is a function of race, class and perceived purity — then there is nothing you can do in the face of disease and death, you are destined to succumb. the upshot either way is we do not need vaccines or most modern medical interventions.

Gotta be one of these two.

I very frequently pass on things entirely if they require me to download an app, make an account, and/or scan a QR code.

I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of
- new account fatigue
- new app fatigue
- useless upgrade fatigue
- terms of service fatigue

The number of NIH competitive awards is down 50% from 2025, and down ~70% from prior years. Even if they catch up by the end of the year, only wealthy institutions can bridge these huge funding gaps.They're killing science-and violating the constitution-by weaponizing the bureaucracy

FFS.

“Nearly all of Israel’s military equipment comes from domestic production, the United States or Germany, so the deteriorating defense ties with European countries will not have a major impact on Israel’s military procurement,” David May, a senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said. “If anything, the European countries will be harmed by losing access to Israel’s battle-tested and innovative defense technology.”

"Nearly all of Israel’s military equipment comes from domestic production, the United States or Germany,"

Uh yeah it's like 85% from the US, 14% from the Germans and 1% from domestic production lol.

Not a ton of sugar, but TONS of fat, tbf.

The recipe as a whole should have ~60g fiber, 86g protein and 2,500 calories.

I think I might have come up with a cookie recipe that I'd actually want to snack on, but that would be a net positive for my diet.

No bake chocolate and peanut butter cookies.

1 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick oats
2/3 cup cocoa powder

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"

yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up

RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

Ah so they just say the eugenics aloud now

You know, the two genders:

“Obsessed with the Roman Empire” and “obsessed with the Industrial Revolution”

*18th and 19th centuries

Girls only think about one thing and its disgusting (the interaction of british coal, empire, enduring labour rights from the black plague and the haber-bosch process)

I met a woman who was obsessed with the industrial revolution once. But she was French. And, to be fair to her, she WAS a professor of modern Middle Eastern history.

(She was a fantastic professor.)

When you’ve lost the notable fascist child rapist, pedophilia and genocide apologist, Alan Toadface Dershowitz, one may consider that the Democrats are improving.

Area warlord fails to understand what the number one killer of soldiers has been in history

Idk.

"We're going to pack the supreme Court and pass comprehensive voting rights legislation" would have gone a long way.

"We're going to cancel student loan debt" would have won a lot of votes.

But most of all "we will not give Israel another bullet to kill Palestinians" would have won my vote.

The real distinction is that you don't actually care if the genocide ends and we do. You are satisfied with the sad sounds and we are not.

There are arguments for voting for Kamala. I decided to do it (a day or three too late due to Texas' ridiculous laws). But this argument is not valid.

No, you are making everyone else's point. We've given this benefit of the doubt to half a dozen Democrats over the decades and they've done the same thing: Expressed empathy for Palestinians and given Israel absolutely everything they want to kill more Palestinians.

Buddy, Kamala said she was insufficiently opposed to it in her own book that just came out lol. You're using a line that doesn't make any sense here to pretend she was doing tons, she's said it HERSELF.

She's unironically taken more responsibility than her die hard defenders on this.

happy birthday weed
