Bibi isn't walking all over Biden's requests. Laura Rozen reported this today:

"NSC’s John Kirby says Israel has agreed to open 2 humanitarian corridors from north to south Gaza. 1 already opened, another will be on coastal road. He said Israel has also agreed to implement a 4 hour pause in north Gaza every day, starting today."

Biden did that. If Trump were president, he'd be screaming that Bibi is too "weak," and begging to wipe out 2 million Gazans with US B-52s.

Nothing personal but every goddamn person that uses "nationalist" instead of "Nazi" needs to be smacked in the head.

They are hiding behind this cute little name that confuses people and normalizes them.

They are f---king nazis. Make no mistake about it.

nationalist = nazi

White, christian.. whatever. They are f-cking nazis. Every one of them.

is it really biden who disappointed you, or is it a structurally unjust broken system which disappoints you?

The counter girl hopped right up when I walked in and was clocking in to help me.

Me: were you on break? I can wait until it's over I'm not in a hurry.

Her: no, we're supposed to clock out when there aren't customers

Me: oh no, honey, no. That's illegal.

Her: 😳

Me: not for you, for your manager or whoever told you to do that.

Her: it is?

Me: it's called wage theft when your boss doesn't pay you what you earned. when your boss requires you to stay here, he needs you pay you for your time.

Her: oh.

Me: here, this is the office number to an employment lawyer, call her and tell her you need to come in to talk about this

Her: I don't have any money

Me: we're gonna get your money, you already earned it sweetie.

Via Angry Staffer:

By my count, the GOP has tried to reduce the salary of:

- the first Black SecDef (Austin)
- the first Black LGBT Press Sec (KJP)
- the first Senate-confirmed openly gay Cabinet member (Pete)
- the first refugee/Latin American to lead DHS (Mayorkas)

Sounds about white.

Jake Sherman:

>claudia tenney is on the floor introducing an amendment to reduce Karine JP's salary to $1.

@GottaLaff So white GOP Rep. Tenney wants a Black person to work for $1.00, aka the amount used to legally formalize giving someone nothing at all?

I thought making Black people work for nothing was 160 years out of fashion.

When "Lo and Behold," Herzog's documentary about the Internet, came out in 2016, he did a screening at Stanford. Afterwards some undergrad crypto bro asked him for his opinion about Bitcoin. Herzog replied that he was anti-Bitcoin because he needs cash - untraceable, hard cash - to keep existing, as sometimes when making his films he needs to do crimes such as paying bribes to local officials. The entire auditorium went silent. Still the most effective way to shut up a crypto bro I've ever seen

Really wish #MSNBC and other televised news outlets cared about the most basic grammar.

(Also, argh! & for real, that’s not at issue! Why rebut moot arguments? The #fraud in & of itself was DECIDED as a matter-of-#LAW. All this trial is deciding are the remaining 6 counts: 1. falsifying business records 2. #conspiracy to falsify business records 3. issuing false financial stmnts 4. conspiracy to falsify said false financial stmnts 5. insurance fraud 6. conspiracy to commit insurance fraud; + the amount of disgorgement.)

Hi everyone! I am looking for a new role and would appreciate your support. Lately I've been working mostly with functional languages (#Elixir, #Erlang, #Haskell, #Elm) in web development, but I'm also passionate about programming languages and tooling (compilers, static analysis, development environments, etc). Let me know if you see an opening that you think I may enjoy!

Evangelicals have no problem crossing other people's boundaries. What evangelicals object to is when someone stops them from crossing those personal boundaries.

On #Oct7 #Hamas terrorists were not only 1s who documented #warcrimes they had committed during deadly rampage across southern #Israel. Some of #atrocities were captured by Gaza-based #photojournalists working for the AP Reuters CNN NYT whose early morning presence (and ride-alongs) at the breached border area raises serious #ethical questions. Was this coordinated w Hamas? Did #wireservices who published their #photos approve of active participation w/out press cred https://honestreporting.com/photographers-without-borders-ap-reuters-pictures-of-hamas-atrocities-raise-ethical-questions/
