I don't think I'll ever stop hating the phrase "consume content".
a book doesn't disappear when I read it; I didn't eat it or burn it. Same for movies, music, games, etc.

It is a fundamentally dishonest phrase; it lies about what happens when we enjoy creative work, and it lies about what creative work is.

New details on the rescue of 4 Israeli hostages this morning.

The abductees were rescued from buildings above ground, not from underground tunnels.

The abductees were kept in rooms assigned to them in private homes of Gazan citizens - and their rescue was carried out from these rooms, while there were many civilians around.

4 RESCUED HOSTAGES

“Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.”

If 90% of black people think something is racist then it is.
If 90% of Jews think something is antisemitic it's suddenly "not antisemitic"?

You got holes in your logic

In guilty pleasure news..... I am an absolute sucker for this load of old nonsense and have watched the whole thing through twice. Cheese personified but I LOVED it, so am thrilled about this and I don't care who knows it!

@RememberUsAlways @palestine @israel Aaargh. So Haniyah is basically admitting that Hamas has no interest in a resolution to the conflict. Haniyah's one and only aim is to see Israel defeated, ostracized and destroyed. Will his supporters in the west finally see him for the genocidal maniac he is?

🤦🏻‍♀️😫Via Kyle Griffin:

NBC News confirms: Mike Johnson just put #Trump loyalists Ronny Jackson — demoted by the U.S. Navy in 2022 — and Scott Perry — central to House GOP efforts to overturn the 2020 election — on the House Intel Committee.

Charles Pierce thinks that the Wall Street Journal's smear piece about Biden's age has a familiar stench about it. He writes,

"I find it more than a little convenient that, after a solid month of stories about how El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago was dozing off at the defense table during his own criminal trial, we have 'some' who 'wonder' about Biden."
