The article approaches the issue as a narrative rather than quantitative question (tap the sign), so it’s hard to see what balances out what. But it’s hard for me to take groups seriously raising alarm bells today if they didn’t say a word when 25% of NYC’s electricity went dirty almost overnight.
Speaking as a former reporter: reporters are generally innumerate. It is extremely rare to meet a reporter who considers themselves to be good at math.

this is actually really interesting. Not much is more associated with Germany than Fraktur. Hitler just hated it and finally got it banned and indirectly killed it for good. then as a final insult it got associated with Nazis because that was the last regime to use it
True story: The Nazis banned the Fraktur typeface, arguing that it contained "Jewish letters."
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

![Statement on Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Genocide Denial at the Israel Hayom Summit
December 9, 2025
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security feels called to point out that former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s recent remarks at the Israel Hayom Summit on 2 December amount to outright genocide denial.
During her remarks, the Secretary correctly noted that the recent deterioration of Israel’s standing among U.S. voters is not a “Republican versus Democrat kind of divide” but rather a generational one. Nevertheless, she incorrectly diagnosed the reasons for the shift as a matter purely of optics, stating that “Israel [has] the worst PR of any group” and accusing social media, particularly TikTok, of presenting “pure propaganda” that American youth are uncritically ingesting.
Secretary Clinton’s framing is not at all an accurate reflection of why Americans are growing more critical of Israel. Young Americans of all political stripes have not fallen prey to propaganda, though that is always a legitimate concern. Rather, they have consumed two years of videos depicting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians that have been uploaded by Palestinian journalists, ordinary people trying to survive in Gaza, IDF soldiers, and ordinary Israelis themselves. There has been no convincing refutation of the sheer amount of raw evidence of genocide coming out of Palestine. Young people in the U.S. are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well.
Secretary Clinton appears not to be bothered by the reality of genocidal violence – in fact, she did not mention anything about it. Her concern is, rather, in her words, “the narrative” – the fact that these crimes are no longer hidden and are now being live-streamed and documented in real time, making it harder for her and others to control it. TikTok cannot be blamed for the fact that many members of Gen Z understand that Israel is …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pwsjq3xnal6auzgeqho4ecw7/bafkreiafbjju65esvo6htynkkl6or6muv4qqhwo5fghkkbyvclgnxxmchy@jpeg)

This is a post for about 100 people who ever lived who also did the Staten Island to Brooklyn Tech commute. Standards used to be so low, you could think that taking a ferry from St. George to BAY RIDGE was a huge time saver and still graduate
![https://www.brooklynpaper.com/staten-island-bay-ridge-ferry-sets-sail-2025/
"Staten Island resident Keith Gerald said the ferry would have shortened his commute to Brooklyn Tech when he was a student.
“If [the ferry] was in place when I was going to high school, it might have shaved 20 minutes off of my one hour and 10 minutes,” Gerald said, adding that accessible transportation is important for “hard-working” commuters.
“Staten Island has long been the forgotten borough,” he said. “There are some people that actually want Staten Island to secede from New York City, but it’s programs like this that show the importance of Staten Island.”"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qki4s6csg6fmd3gbqee7gbge/bafkreih5pnqgeafqzmwe3i2qwa32vn7sjuza5idbkzdbswtlz5mwlaalnm@jpeg)
