Little by little, evidence trickles out that everywhere in Gaza touched by IDF ground forces is smattered with mass graves.

Until all the perpetrators are identified and brought to justice, every single person who served in the IDF in the last few years should be treated as a murder suspect.

Ammar Wadi knew he was risking his life when he set out to get a bag of flour for his family from an aid truck near the Zikim crossing into Gaza in June.

I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno what‘s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

And EVERYTHING should operate like that. Everyone SHOULD have extra time, extra notifications, patience and physical accomodations, etc etc etc. Everyone should get it all. I don't care if they're "faking." It doesn't fucking matter if the old person is "faking," let them use their fucking walker

People come in one day and are fine and then a few days later have a new sudden health issue that requires being in the hospital a couple weeks, cause THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET OLD. So you EXPECT that and structure your workplace with inherent flexibility and expect to work extra sometimes.

Literally refusing to defend the Somali community from the fascist because they're mad Ilhan Omar is opposed to genocide. bsky.app/profile/jdvd...
The problem is that leadership has personal animus toward Ilhan Omar (mostly for racist/islamophobic reasons), the most visible leader of that community. So national pols won’t do or say much at all.

This is disgusting. Trump continues to put a target on @repilhan.bsky.social, her family, and her community with his violent, xenophobic rhetoric.

A lawmaker in her home state of Minnesota was killed this year in an act of political violence. That alone should unite us against this hate speech.

I’m in the aphotic zone smoking that bioluminescent pack
What I’ve learned after writing a novel about the intelligence of sea creatures is that those who dwell in aphotic zones often have ways of creating their own light for navigation. Nota bene, friends, humans, and countrymen.

I have a VERY low opinion of Bernie Sanders these days and stuff like this reminds me of why I have a MUCH LOWER opinion of every elected Democrat, including your precious AOC and Mamdani (whom I believe haven't commented at all on this yet).
Bernie Sanders tweeted something immediately, which obviously doesn't solve anything, but why on earth didn't half the Democratic party do that immediate and easy one simple thing?

This generally applies to adults who have gotten away with behaving like children for most of their lives. There is no holiday magic without some people working their asses off. I used to love Thanksgiving until I got more involved with the cooking, because all I did was eat drink and watch football

99% of complaints about things being better in the past boil down to "you miss not having adult responsibilities". The other 1% is that everything is manufactured to break after two years now.
Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

CODE: REALIZE - Guardian of Rebirth, another example of AI captions on Crunchyroll.

And this is an excellent point. These AI captions perform none of the deaf and hard-of-hearing services of real closed captions. No descriptions of music and sound effects at all, just bad dialogue transcription.
Add CODE: REALIZE - Guardian of Rebirth on CR to the list. The main character's name is Cardia. Also, if it's ID'd as "English (CC)", there should be some actual, you know, CAPTIONING regarding stuff like sound effects or sighs or whatnot.

She’s actually retiring (shockingly), so going forward it’ll be a hole for Hakeem Jeffries to do inside trading. He too rushed out to protect a literal criminal Dem against a progressive challenger. And AOC and Mamdani are telling us we shouldn’t primary him…
i don't enjoy posting this political shit, but I see so many allegedly 'progressive' or 'left' accounts still shilling for the Democratic party I'm compelled to drop periodic reminders the Democratic party is basically a hole for you put donations in so Nancy Pelosi can keep doing insider trading
