You always thought that keeping all body parts under the covers was the only way to keep you safe at night. It's only when you bring a furry little monster into your house that you realize that you were right all along.

@theothersimo Because it’s one sided. Nobody is happy to see people dying in Gaza, with the possible exception of Hamas. But you can’t ignore the fact that Israel has always been under threat of violence by looking at a one-time incident.
The Department of Education is making it easier for students who experience Antisemitism, Islamophobia, or related discrimination to file a complaint under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

@theothersimo Do you hear how one-sided your comment is? As though there’s no reason for Israel to have the Iron Dome or bomb shelters in every home.
@BlueDot Thanks. Will look for that.
Here's some helpful Mastodon tips for the newcomers on here:
1. The app automatically scans your thumbprint. Make sure to wear gloves if you don't want this data to be collected and sold to thumb enthusiasts.
2. The platform has voice-activated capabilities. Try yelling "HUNGRY!" and the nearest Mastodon employee will bring you a snack.
3. Tell us about yourself! Write either "pro-ghost" or "anti-ghost" in your bio to avoid simple misunderstandings.
@theothersimo Based on my experience, yes, it is typical. As for the stupid laws the Right in Israel has created, they don’t even count Reform Jews as Jews, so they have fewer rights than the Orthodox. The Orthodox, who don’t even have to serve in the military!
Ukraine needs us NOW; otherwise, the US will eventually be at war with Russia. Wake the fuck up, #Republicans.

⚠️Yet another #recall
Tyson Foods is voluntarily recalling about 30,000 pounds of its dino-shaped chicken nuggets after some consumers reported finding small metal pieces in their patties.

Well, it is these ultranationalist right wing lunatics where Netanyahu has his election from... with a margin of only 2 or 3 %... And these are the ones that shaped his government during his rule that went on for too long...
Ukraine will get its territory back, all of it, including Crimea. Sevastopol too.
Russia is a rogue petrostate bent on expansion.
The alternative is an emboldened Putin bent on his next conquest.
Ask Austria what a policy of territorial relinquishment and appeasement bought.

Giving in to Putin buys the globe a WW3. This time nuclear.
@citizenkate Ah! It’s a Trader Joe’s. There’s a lady here who makes a lovely jelly called Crawfish Jelly, if you like jalapeño. It’s basically jalapeños and the spices you put in a crawfish boil in a jelly. It’s stupendous! @hosford42 @HistoPol @Jorsh
@GottaLaff The Speaker seems to have repeated memory loss issues. Or he’s a habitual liar.
@StillIRise1963 My son just swapped the Post for the Atlantic. I may follow suit.
@GottaLaff If only we could somehow press Hamas to secure a ceasefire….
