Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in court to testify in his corruption trial, days after US President Trump called for him to be pardoned. Protesters outside the court demanded the trial continue as a test of Israel’s democracy. Netanyahu denies all charges.

Oh that’s worth an appointment with the principal.

Sure.

You just care so much. I get it. So do religious ideologues. You all care so much.

That’s the exact argument that people who push religious ideology use. Are you aware of that?

1

Adelle Loiselle @adelleloiselle.bsky.social · 3h

I don’t understand.

I have a core set of beliefs and I have no desire to share them.

If you were religious I feel like we would be having the same conversation.

It’s really not difficult.

You just don’t preach at people.

Of course you do. That’s how discourse works. What you don’t have the right to do is tell the woman working at a church food bank)an example) is what she should think.

You see, referring to OP here, I just don’t think the answer to religious oppression is more religious oppression.

By all means communicate.

What I object to, is you telling me what I need to believe. In that, some atheists sound exactly like the people they’re criticizing. No air between them.

Adelle Loiselle @adelleloiselle.bsky.social · 5h

Sure. Try this.

“I am an atheist and I have criticism of organized religion.”

And you leave it right there. Like that. It’s perfect.

You just mentioned it?

You sure?

And another person’s deeply held beliefs are not incorrect any more than your own.

Adelle Loiselle @adelleloiselle.bsky.social · 5h

Yes.

Without insulting the billions of people on this planet who believe.

I know it requires some creativity but I believe it can be done.

Your president said the US needs nothing from Canada so we are going to include support for your teams.

But seriously. You don’t root for an American team when a Canadian team is still in contention. It’s a serious dick move.

Omg the world makes no sense now!

How will I navigate my life knowing how Nigel Farage isn’t trustworthy???

Oh they’re boycotting Diageo for other reasons in my region. (that was tough but Amherstburg is worth it).

We have so many brands, it really is ridiculous.

I don’t know who is guy is to you but you seem to be the only one reading it that way.

Again, you don’t blame your customers.

My parents didn’t typically restrict what I read, unless I got caught reading something adult at a relatives house. Especially if they were embarrassed. That was the only time though.

Kevin, this might sound out there, but if I wanted to murder the planet, would these cuts help me?

Please don’t say yes. 🥺

The most important thing NASA does is monitor climate change from space. No other country in the world (and certainly no corporation) can make up for the decimation of climate science capabilities that this admin is dead set on causing.

A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.
