Israel has closed its embassy in Ireland.
And now, in a perfect and perfectly Irish riposte to Israel’s genocide and petulance, the abandoned former embassy on Shelbourne Road in the grand Lansdowne area of Dublin is to be turned into a museum of Palestine, so it is, in cooperation with the Palestine Museum US, which published its version of an Irish jig at the news

You know about disposable vapes?
many brands are powered by the same lithium-ion cells that are used to make huge battery packs for electric cars or ebikes
but with vapes, they're just ... thrown out
Chris Doel got 130 dead vapes, took the batteries out, and used them to create a new rechargeable battery pack for his ebike
It worked *great*
His question: "Why they hell are they being thrown away after one use?"

@cindyweinstein I keep telling people that wishing everyone you meet a Merry Christmas is like telling everyone happy birthday when it's your birthday.
@cindyweinstein I've gotten into the habit of always responding to "Merry Christmas" with "Chag sameach."

Legal scholars argue Trump should be disqualified under the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause when Congress certifies the 2024 election. They cite impeachment, Colorado courts, and the January 6 Committee as evidence of insurrection. Though unlikely, they urge Democrats to challenge Trump’s eligibility to defend the Constitution.

In 2025, normalize saying 'I don't like it' instead of 'I don't understand.' You do understand, but you don't like it. Please stop inviting us to explain when you're really asking us to justify.

Settlements like ABC News' defamation case signal fear of costly lawsuits and threats to the First Amendment, enabling authoritarian control. https://www.mediamatters.org/misinformer-year/misinformer-year-anti-media-intimidation
