@bethanyshondark I had the same thought reading the stories again today. It’s painful to learn about the people staying put waiting for an update/instruction and others staying back after being told things would be fine. Heartbreaking. Each story.
Ezra Klein on Charlie Kirk:
“You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era’s most effective practitioners of persuasion. When the left thought its hold on the hearts and minds of college students was nearly absolute, Kirk showed up again and again to break it. Slowly, then all at once, he did. College-age voters shifted sharply right in the 2024 election.
“That was not all Kirk’s doing, but he was central in laying the groundwork for it. I did not know Kirk and I am not the right person to eulogize him. But I envied what he built. A taste for disagreement is a virtue in a democracy. Liberalism could use more of his moxie and fearlessness. In the inaugural episode of his podcast, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California hosted Kirk, admitting that his son was a huge fan. What a testament to Kirk’s project.”
“Kirk and I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side on the continued possibility of American politics. It is supposed to be an argument, not a war; it is supposed to be won with words, not ended through bullets. I wanted Kirk to be safe for his sake, but I also wanted him to be safe for mine, and for the sake of our larger shared project. The same is true for Shapiro, for Hoffman, for Hortman, for Thompson, for Trump, for Pelosi, for Whitmer. We are all safe, or none of us are.”
Can healthcare institutions please STOP using antiquated fax machines?!! No-I can not fax you my medical records, nor do I want to pay a fee to use an app to do so where it will likely get lost in fax hell or worse—the wrong fax machine.
@AdrianneCurry Same with Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy. Every episode leads to conversation on why locals should be accepting of the illegals migrating to Italy.
@classiflied77@WallStreetApes This definitely happens on the daily. The office often makes the request and individually requests their food/drink items.
500 days ago, Palestinian civilians entered the ravaged village of Kibbutz Nir Oz to search for loot.
Inside a locked safe room, they found a terrified mother, a 3 year old toddler, and a 9 month old baby.
They used power tools to break down the door to the safe room, and dragged out the family.
They filmed and tormented the mother while she desperately clutched her babies in her arms.
Then they kidnapped the Bibas family into Gaza where they sold them to the highest bidding jihadist group in a modern day slave trade.
For 500 days Jews across the world have been praying for a miracle while living a nightmare most Jews have not experienced since the Holocaust.
We screamed their names, put up posters of their images, begged the Red Cross to provide them medical care, and pleaded for their release.
Our cries were ignored, our posters were torn down, and “human rights groups” across the world refused to help even a helpless 9 month old baby.
Tomorrow, on day 502, in an undisclosed location, HMS will deliver the bodies of Shiri Bibas, Ariel Bibas, and Kfir Bibas.
They will film and torment the Jewish people by desecrating their bodies in some macabre terror show broadcast by Al Jazeera.
They will spin and twist and manipulate the truth.
All to cover up the fact that 500 days ago, Palestinian civilians entered the ravaged village of Kibbutz Nir Oz to steal the most important treasure to the Jewish people—A loving mother and her two innocent babies, a symbol of all our hopes and dreams for the future of the Jewish people—and murdered them in captivity.
BDE 😔

@Riley_Gaines_ Right. Breasts. Apparently sold at stores everywhere. Unfortunately your nerves are dead-but there will be a bunch of dead feeling skin and lumps. Good luck with that move.
@shawntifying All melons are gross, fibrous, watered down mush. No flavor at all that is desirable. I’d rather drink regular water or eat a fresh, crisp Honeycrisp apple.
@HarrisFanaroff Delay high chair until food for him is at the table. Bring him hungry. Bring toy that is new or hasn’t seen in awhile (and or artsy toy like drawing board or water pen that “colors” the paper like magic ink). Have him sit on your lap while he plays. Order his food 1st.
Want to know about the real @BillMaher?
Watch him sit down with the legendary #JiminyGlick on tonight's Real Time, now available on @StreamOnMax and our YouTube channel: https://t.co/LSFHF1wGVY
@KassyDillon Wow…genius attack pulling out the “your mom is wh***”. Don’t think I’ve heard that since the 80s and it was a laughable insult being thrown around then.
