@Lizzy_Pea@anon_opin I mean, I can see scenarios โฆ but for instance, once Iโm on the gate side of security, having checked my bags already, I canโt see a situation in which I would think: โYou know what, right now I need to buy a suitcase which wonโt fit in the overhead.โ
President Trump just repeated his lie that China only builds windmills to export them to "stupid people from the United States, the suckers."
Reality: China has installed by far the most wind turbines of any country and is installing more of them far faster than any other country.
A layer I left out of the piece: this used to run the other way. A future Israeli PM, Yitzhak Shamir, took his underground codename from Michael Collins while fighting the British. And Israel's current president, Isaac Herzog, is the grandson of Ireland's first Chief Rabbi, the "Sinn Fรฉin Rabbi." It flipped after '67, once Israel stopped being the underdog.
Dame Helen Mirren gets called an โevil Zionist b****โ by a pro-Palestine thug in the streets of London.
This is absolutely appalling.
We are now at a point where public figures can be screamed at and abused simply for being perceived as being sympathetic to the worldโs only Jewish state or unwilling to conform to an ideological litmus test.
This is not activism. It is intimidation, mob behaviour and extremism masquerading as moral virtue.
I guess my husband and I should hand ourselves in to the police in Tel Aviv, since our gay marriage is 'illegal'.
But wait, our government IDs โ and all our official documents โ state that we're married.
Could it be that gay marriage is not illegal here? And that actually, no civil weddings โ wither same-sex or heterosexual โ are possible under the British Mandate era laws?
But... marriages performed abroad, gay and straight, are recognised.
Not ideal, but describing gay marriage as 'illegal' when Tel Aviv in particular is full of married gay men and women and their kids, is either uninformed, or disingenuous.
The world is about to get a master class in antisemitism.
Israel's minister Ben Gvir's behavior towards the flotilla activists was unacceptable. I said so myself.
World leaders all posted angry denunciations of the Israeli government and summoned Israeli ambassadors for a dressing down.
Here, the same activists are receiving much more brutal treatment at the hands of the Spanish government. What we won't see however is an international outcry against the Spanish government.
This imbalance isn't due to the vagaries of international diplomacy. People hold the Jewish state to a higher standard than they do any other state, and fundamentally it's due of bigotry and hatred.

@yoniChanowitz When you're able to listen to music again, take a look at this concert video from 2015. Stromae is a remarkable performer.
He also did a terrific Tiny Desk concert.

@claudeai finished writing a session summary last night. My last prompt was "Export that as an MD file" and I immediately hit a limit.
This morning I wrote "Continue" and it exported an already written 137 line file. That's all it did ... and my session is now 35% used.
Why?
Fact Check: Israel does not limit humanitarian aid to Gaza. @NewYorker's latest piece omitted critical context we provided:
โ
-600 aid trucks enter Gaza daily through 30+ registered organizations operating transparently.
-The NGOs refusing to cooperate historically accounted for less than 1% of aid. Humanitarian delivery is not dependent on them and continues to flow uninterrupted.
-Vetting employee lists is a necessary, transparent measure to prevent Hamas from infiltrating aid networks and exploiting local staff.
โThere are no restrictions on humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Do not cooperate with false narratives pushed by special interest groups.
