@npub1mmf…eknq They could not raise any red flags because that might seem like supporting communism and then they might get beaten up and arrested by the cops.

@npub1mmf…eknq Joe Biden reminds me of Homer's dad on The Simpsons.. I almost expect him to yell "get off my lawn!" at any moment.

This is ridiculous.. Trudeau govt spending 2.4 Billion on 'boosting AI capacity' https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-government-ai-investment-1.7166234 This just looks like a massive corporate giveaway for a climate destroying hot mess of overhyped Silicon Valley snake oil.

Uh oh, Biden said he'd bomb all of Canada if any terrorist attack originated from there (in 1982) https://jacobin.com/2023/10/joe-biden-menachem-begin-israel-lebanon-war-civilian-casualties-canada-gaza#:~:text=In%201982%2C%20then%2DSenator%20Joe,in%20retaliation%20for%20militant%20attacks.

@npub176y…fj2k Ignorance is the first step to hate. And conservatives love hate, the driving force of the fascist ideology that they have embraced. And hate is the first step to violence, its logical conclusion.

@npub1200…aqy2 I must have missed some secret meeting where everyone at work agreed to never mention COVID again. A manager who has been audibly sick for a month said "Apparently it's a hundred day virus.. it lasts a hundred days!" Had to stop myself from blurting "It's COVID! You have COVID!" JFC.

@npub1mmf…eknq basically Israel is like North Korea or Russia now: a pariah state. I hope this is dawning on Israelis as well.. they have the power to stop this, or at least make it clear they're not OK with it.

@npub1mmf…eknq It's such a betrayal of the Palestinian people by most of the rest of the world's govts standing by as Netanyahu conducts blatant genocide. I feel such horror and dread thinking about it. I feel powerless to avert it but I certainly won't forget or forgive the perpetrators for as long as I live.

@npub1mmf…eknq ugh. According to The Guardian "The campaign against Gay’s presidency was largely promoted by conservative activists, including those who oppose diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. They argued that Gay was hired not because of her decades of academic work and recognition, but rather because she is Black. New plagiarism allegations surfaced on Monday in a conservative online journal that has led the campaign against Gay. " https://www.theguardian.com/education/2024/jan/02/harvard-president-claudine-gay-resigns. "Conservative activists" is a funny way to spell "racist bullies"!

Stumbled on this article about risk taking behaviour and how it spreads. It helps explain why most people are no longer taking Covid precautions I think… 1) if risky behaviour isn't followed by negative consequences then that reinforces that behaviour (“risk creep”) 2) Observing others' risky behaviour shows it is socially acceptable and makes one more likely to mirror that behaviour (“social learning”). https://hbr.org/2023/02/research-how-risky-behavior-spreads Unfortunately risk creep also leads to social learning of risky behaviour when it occurs in public. The most obvious example is unmasking.. if you 'get away' with it, the you're more likely to take that risk again AND other people seeing you do it also lower their perception of the risk. This is especially true for things that have delayed, variable, or invisible effects, like smoking causing cancer.. or post Covid conditions. And those who do become disabled (or die) are likely not going out in public to show the counter example, so people keep learning the risky behaviour from others who have not yet suffered the consequences.

@npub1xr8…3q0g have just been reading about how Iran apparently had nothing to do with Hamas until the US and allies imposed sanctions on the Palestinian Authority, then Iran stepped in to provide relief. https://fpif.org/the_rise_of_hamas/ The US was so focussed on stopping the PLO (which was open to negotiations and even recognized Israel) that they benefitted Hamas either intentionally or through ineptitude.
Also Israel has been assassinating Iran's nuclear scientists for decades, especially since Trump killed the Iran nuclear deal. Most dramatically in 2021 with the drone sniper assassination of Fakhrizadeh. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/18/world/middleeast/iran-nuclear-fakhrizadeh-assassination-israel.html
I suspect that the superpowers involved in this have perhaps more to gain than lose from an escalation of localized conflict. Israelis and Palestinians are just pawns in their game.
