It is disheartening to see today that the strength of international law and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, replaced by the presumed right to overpower others. This is unworthy and shameful for humanity and for the leaders of nations.

@DaveShapi The stuff NotebookLM comes up with are just guides, not references. It will make mistakes. It's an amazing tool for getting started with some difficult subject and self-study but it's not a substitute for reading the sources.

@solipsism_2 @avidseries I don't disagree, there was a time when affirmative-action and similar stuff could be justified but it's long past that time now. You can't solve injustice by more injustice.

[Allister Beharry @allisterbeharry]

@avidseries That Americans who suffered long-term racial discrimination in the workplace are more likely to respond yes should indicate it doesn't show "rates of anti-white racism" The question is too ambiguous - how do you separate people who just want justice for past wrongs from racists?

@CheeseForEvery1 I don't think that at some unspecified time in the past universities were bastions of fairness and meritocracy and ideology-free objective knowledge and obviously practical learning. The flaws you see today were present in the 50's too, it's just different who has power now.

@ggreenwald You are one of the best journalists in the business and you are being targeted by evil forces because of your fairness and integrity and talent. The world needs people like you, now more than ever.

@MichaelMethexis @wil_da_beast630 You can't base normative statements on things we observe in nature. Any attempt will always contain hidden claims like 'more suffering is bad' or 'more sentient life is good' which, true or not, can't be derived from observing nature.

@TheIvyExile @SohrabAhmari My issue is this admin seems to lack either the expertise or patience to try to fix the problems in public orgs and institutions. It cares only about scoring cheap political wins and is actively destroying a good number of public institutions Americans need.

[Allister Beharry @allisterbeharry]

@TheIvyExile @SohrabAhmari Any public org that wields power, be it police or public journalism, is gonna attract people with certain values and political beliefs and managing bias and fairness is always gonna be a challenge.

[Allister Beharry @allisterbeharry]

@TheIvyExile @SohrabAhmari Agree with most. Some of my best memories of American TV like Sesame Street or The NewsHour were from PBS and Frontline and other docs were always top-tier. Reform of the national news stuff would serve the national interest way better, but this admin chooses destruction mostly.

[Allister Beharry @allisterbeharry]

@TheIvyExile @SohrabAhmari I don't personally doubt that NPR and even PBS have become more biased to one side over the years as EVERYTHING has become more biased and politicized, but the correct thing would be to just change the leadership or the people or structure.

[Allister Beharry @allisterbeharry]

@SohrabAhmari If you're gonna set policy though you have to objectively determine the benefits orgs like NPR and PBS bring to the American people. Is there any objective evidence to support the defunding of these orgs?

"The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is extremely grave and rapidly deteriorating.
• There is a strong likelihood that famine is imminent in areas within the northern Gaza Strip"

[Allister Beharry @allisterbeharry]

@ZaidJilani From the most recent IPC FRC update from November 2024:
"There is a strong likelihood that famine is imminent in areas within the northern Gaza Strip."

He only mentions the FRC didn't agree with USAID's assertion of famine in May.
