That first episode of Critical Role was CHAOTIC - I lost count, but was it 12 characters in total swapping in and out like a Whitehall farce?

The Spectre Haunting Europe @frightfulhobgoblin.bsky.social · 1d

Ah yes I see Daniel Hannan has written his article about the mischievous Bolshevik (((elites))) who are conspiring to bring down the glorious British Reich again.

A headline in the Telegraph, above a poster art picture of Vladimir Lenin:
"Daniel Hannan
Britain has given so much to civilisation. Now the barbarians are inside
The poisonous ideas of Vladimir Lenin have infected our progressive elite"

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

But she promised it wasn't a metaphor, so I can only think she is genuinely offering a tour of her house.

This, from Khaled Elgindy, is the denied truth of October 7th. Could Hamas have reduced the slaughter if they instantly handed over the civilians? Probably not, they offered, and were rejected - Netenyahu wanted blood - maybe they thought it would stay his hand.

This is just so obviously what happened, but there was a collective international desire to assuage Israel’s bloodlust by saying “Hamas wants to kill all Jews, so what else could they have done” meantime, Hamas are forced to deal with elderly Jewish civilians they never wanted in the first place.
