From a spy craft and capabilities standpoint it’s an amazing attack. I’m skeptical that using the devices as bombs is more useful than using them for spying, but who knows? It is super fucked up that random people who happen to be near the targets could be hurt. But between that and the stuxnet attack, it’s safe to say that Israel is capable of crazy sophisticated attacks.

Thanks. I honestly haven’t been following it all closely. (I guess that’s obvious from my last comment). But why blow up a bunch of people in Lebanon?

So if I understand correctly, Israel managed to get a bunch of people in Hezbollah to use pagers and walkie talkies that contained bombs. But they have not been able to gather enough intelligence from control of those communication devices to find and rescue the remaining hostages? And if they weren’t able to catch useful information from those devices, why did the people holding those devices deserve to get blown up?

He has never given any indication that he did it for moral reasons. He has consistently described service members as suckers and has expressed confusion about why anyone would be willing to serve. Have you ever seen any indication that Trump was opposed to the war in general or is a pacifist or skipped out for any reason other than it is unpleasant and dangerous? Granted, I don’t know that Bill Clinton was super anti-war either, but I guess it bothers me less when the draft dodgers don’t openly mock service members and POWs.

I’m going to contact my State Farm agent about this. Maybe Geico or Progressive are more adverse to Nazis.

Burke accused the court of denying him his religious rights, which included his belief in two genders, male and female. “This is a mockery of justice,” he told the judge.

He can exercise his “religious rights“ to be a bigot, but not at the school and not as a teacher.

They can try. But cleaning up a mess takes a while and there’s no magic wand to make it ho faster.

And then we should all charge outrageous hourly rates to fix the AI generated code.

Maybe keeping people in office till they’re 80 and 90+ would be less appealing if they had to stay in session for a real physical filibuster?

Pissing off the Swifties and the Beyhive? Why not just go poke a polar bear in the eye?

I think he’s referring to the DNC not having primaries. But with a sitting president parties don’t really have primaries to pick a candidate. But since Harris moved into Biden’s place on the ticket, Trump has been whining about how it’s unfair 🙄.

But then he gets all discombobulated and complains about having to deal with an election even though he was also just made the GOP candidate without any primary elections (I think?). At that point I lose the thread as he devolves into sundowning.

Crowdstrike completely screwed the pooch with this deploy but ideally, Windows wouldn’t get crashed by a bas 3rd party software update. Although, the crashes may be by design in a way. If you don’t want your machine running without the security software running, and if the security software is buggy and won’t start up, maybe the safest thing is to not start up?

And Alito pls

He didn’t want to pack the court so I’m not holding out hope that he’d empty the court either. Obviously assassinating justices would completely fuck the country up, but one could argue that the current justices are slow playing us into a fascist dictatorship.

The DNC has been snatching defeat from the jaws of victory my whole life. I’m so sick of this shit.

They should have had the balls to do the right thing anyway. But even legitimate news companies showed zero moral fiber so expecting more from an unprofitable internet startup is a fool’s errand.

Regardless, the time to act was way before that POS got into office. The Donald was a dumpster fire years before the election.

Is that why that priest in Wisconsin was calling for the Pope’s death? Is the Pope cowed by NE US liberals and ignorant of actual Catholic teachings?

Would one need to follow the Texas bishop who got removed, in order to get actual Catholic teachings?

When you presume that I have “no understanding of actual Catholic teachings”, is that solely based on my ignorance of the conservative and fundamentalist US parishes?

It’s too bad you chose to comment on my beliefs in such a condescending manner. We could have had an interesting conversation if you were more civil.

I think the Florida Supreme Court was still dealing with Bush v Gore when the Supreme Court jumped in. Although, I guess that one did have a more direct relationship to Federal law. But it was 100% bullshit, regardless.

Yeah, but we’re talking about groceries. No one says “I’m gonna fast this week cuz I think groceries will be cheaper next week”

The Washington Post got the What’s App transcripts and multiple participants confirming the content of the chat. They then asked the mayor’s office about it and the spokesperson said that the question was anti Semitic.

Correction, they asked about the Zoom meeting (which they had the transcript and on the record participants):

Asked about the Zoom meeting with chat group members, the mayor’s office did not address it directly, instead sharing a statement from deputy mayor Fabien Levy noting that New York police entered Columbia’s campus twice in response to “specific written requests” from university leadership. “Any suggestion that other considerations were involved in the decision-making process is completely false,” Levy said. He added, “The insinuation that Jewish donors secretly plotted to influence government operations is an all too familiar antisemitic trope that the Washington Post should be ashamed to ask about, let alone normalize in print.”
