Zionist often frame people learning what Israel is actually doing as "Israel losing a PR war"

What Hillary is saying here is a conspiracy theory and not even a tame, silly one, but a whopper. A more balefully consequential and widespread one than e.g. Trump complaining that the media lied about his crowds being big.

Hillary Clinton on the generational shift on Israel inside the Democrats.
"We have done a miserable job teaching young people history.
"And, you know, those of us who have lived through it, I went to Israel for the first time in 1980, so a long time ago, and I've been back many times. And obviously, you know, with my husband, deeply involved in all kinds of activities to support Israel and to try to be as helpful as possible. But it was astonishing to me because I had so many conversations, and frankly, they often started as confrontations with students, not just at Columbia, but elsewhere.
"Where were they getting their information?
They were getting it from social media. They were getting it most particularly from TikTok, which is governed by an algorithm until at least up till now, still largely manipulated by the Chinese Communist Party.

The media is only fixating on Dick Cheney as a distraction. Don't fall for it, spend the rest of your life never thinking about him. Forget his words, let's his deeds because ink on tattered pieces of abandoned paper.

the password to the louvre surveillance server was "louvre"

www.thesocialpost.it/2025/11/02/f...

according to the liberation newspaper, documents dating back to a 2014 inspection by the French National Agency for the Security of Computer Systems reported a staggering detail: "the password of the louvre's video surveillance server was simply " louvre. "

A thing I can say about Dick Cheney is that of all the people responsible for our present moment, he is definitely one of them

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film

Kodak appears to be taking back control over the distribution of its film.

Letting Guillermo del Toro make whatever he wants but then confining his output to a streaming service that wants people to watch it on their phones feels like a monkey paw wish
