Over the years I've had several people tell me that they don't understand much about the Middle East, but that they are instinctively swayed towards Israel because of how intrinsically linked the Palestinian cause has always been with anti-Americanism.
Burning or removing the American flag as part of a protest meant to appeal to Americans to adopt your position makes no sense EVEN if you are also protesting American complicity. You're just copycatting foreign protests without realizing how self-defeating that is domestically.
If the true aim of your protest is to say "Americans of good conscience should stand with Palestine" then you should be waving American and Palestinian flags, but leftism now is basically one big blob of anti-western internationalism so that concept gives them the ick.

Paul Krugman hasn't tweeted anything about this conflict or the antisemitism it has revealed.
I want to see how long it'll take @paulkrugman, who is VERY concerned about antisemitism, to tweet ANYTHING about the current war or wave of psychotic Jew hatred abroad and at home. Almost three weeks and not a word.
@paulkrugman Still nothing, by the way.

To liberal/progressive Jews who currently feel isolated I say this: You have a choice. You can chose to step out of your comfort zone, break friendships, be vocally not ok with what you see, or you can keep living with this feeling you have now forever. There is no third option.
You're not going to "wait this out." In six months or a year when everyone has moved on to the election or whatever else will be happening - those people will still be there beside you and will still believe the things they said now. And the rest of us won't let anyone forget it.
Stupid typo aside, this is your Come to Moses moment. I have no desire to engage in I told you sos and what took you so longs, but telling your sob story to a reporter ain't gonna cut it no more. Show me what you intend to DO about it.

Homeschooling is legal (sometimes with a few restrictions) in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Moldova, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.
It's also legal in some cases in Belarus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, and Serbia. It's illegal in far fewer countries including Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, and Sweden.
At least get your pompous Euro-patronizing facts straight.

Amazing job by ChatGPT here describing a fully imaginary play that never happened and then attempting to correct itself and still getting it wrong. ImageImage
It did this another time but it was in Hebrew so screencaps will be useless. It provided info and links on a certain minor event in the past but none of the links were correct and I even checked archival copies of the paper it cited and found nothing. Totally made up info.
Actually incidents like this should make you less scared of AI, not more scared. This thing isn't "thinking." It translates your speech patterns into math, does a math operation, and spits out a result that translates back into speech patterns. It basically did the math wrong.

The fact that TikTok is an incubator for social contagion has to be deliberate, and here's my argument: If there wasn't some kind of subtle hidden hand behind amplifying the crazy, why would the CCP need an entirely separate-but-identical app for use in China? 1/4
You can't get TikTok in China, only Douyin, which is exactly TikTok but without any of the content that's on TikTok. You can download Douyin in the West but cannot get TikTok in China. They would easily have the ability to run one system with a China content filter but don't. 2/4
To me, that signals that the difference is in how the content algorithm operates in both system, since it would be much more complicated to run two concurrent content algorithms depending on what content is generated. Easier to have two separate infrastructures. 3/4
