No, I condemn all attacks against civilians. Hard to imagine, I’m sure, for someone who sees only one belligerent’s citizens as human.

But I am pointing out the ludicrous misrepresentation of history that Hezbollah “started” any aspect of this conflict. Hezbollah was created in response to Israel’s invasion of Lebanon. Israel invaded Lebanon because the PLO was launching attacks on Israel from southern Lebanon. The PLO was in Lebanon and before that in Jordan because they were driven out of their native homeland and made refugees due to the colonization of Palestine.

There is no aspect of this conflict that does not tie directly back to the violent disappropriation and explusion of the Palestinian people from their land. The conflict is and has always been about theft of land and homes, which continues unabated through the present day.

The “fight” started with the colonization of Palestine, the theft of indigenous land, and the expulsion of half the native populace. Naming a random date or event in the past couple of years as the “start” of this conflict is brazenly dishonest.

Every year, Israel expands its land seizures in occupied Palestine, but for some reason you don’t count that as sustaining hostilities. Sounds an awful lot like you’re willing to excuse Israeli terrorism while holding others to a different standard.

Now known as “And Then There Were None.”

10 Little Indians was actually the second title for the book. The first one was worse.

Great mystery though.

The recent film Blue Giant is great. About a young man who moves to Tokyo from rural Japan to pursue his love of jazz. Great visuals and music.

“Major thinker” is a stretch. He’s more like the Malcolm Gladwell mom says we have at home.

It’s mainly the fault of the people around him for not cluing him in. I get that he’s been beat down and told he was worthless his whole life. But you’d imagine at least someone would exclaim some praise after he beats one of these legendary monsters.

It does seem to be turning a corner but it drove me crazy the first few episodes. I was so glad when Ossan Newbie dropped the act after two episodes.

Israeli colonization, like that of America or Australia, is based on the violent displacement of indigenous peoples. We said that America was “settled” too. The language masks the same violence.

It’s almost like the Israelis keep them concentrated, in camps. You might even call them “concentration camps.”

No, it’s not due to the active virus but general dysregulation of the nervous system. It’s likely related to inflammation that occurred during infection but there are more questions than answers at this point. NIH has a decent write-up on the symptoms, possible causes, and some of the avenues of research underway.

I have it, and it sucks. I hope the attention on it leads to new treatments, though I know that can take years. I also saw that Bernie proposed a bill to fund research and treatment but that will probably die in the House.

That site is good for a laugh - a complete alternate universe devoid of science, evidence, or conscious thought.

All targets are military targets according to the IDF. Schools, hospitals, civilian airports.

They probably have ten strategists around a table trying to figure out what this statement means. “What the heck is a non-military target?”

Yeah, and it’s very hard to predict based on isekai titles whether you’re going to encounter that kind of worthwhile passion project or one of the very silly ones.

I actually avoided Slime for a couple years because the title didn’t draw me in - I though it sounded uninspired and derivative just based on the name. Little did I know I was missing out on one of the most interesting and complex isekai worlds until I gave it a shot and was immediately hooked.

I’m really enjoying it but I also understand the other view. I would say it might be more fun to binge all at once since we’re waiting a week between multiple episodes with worldbuilding/slice-of-life without the story advancing far. But I’m a longtime Civilization and SimCity fan and honestly some of my favorite parts of the show are about building up the JTF and the diplomacy with other nations.

Exactly. Anyone who looks at Israel’s actions and thinks their goal is anything other than the complete conquest, annexation, and colonization of all Palestinian territory is blind or lying.

The bed on the left probably gets used more.

Nothing convincingly demonstrates your iron grasp on power like being afraid of pretty plants

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn’t belong…

I was expecting the article to provide a little more clarification on that point but I guess they decided to just leave it hanging.

The only good adaptation of Avatar is the Ember Island Players’ version from Book 3.
