Jake Tapper is more aggrieved by a troll account with 300 followers impugning Barak Ravid’s reputation than by the slaughter of more than 260 Palestinian journalists.

It has been truly staggering—these past 2+ years—to witness just how little empathy Tapper has for Palestinians.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry? First, click here to agree to terms you don’t have time to read and must accept. You need an account to do that. Change your temporary password. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email and enter that code. Now use a passkey. Your password is too simple to remember. Change it. No, not like that. Now log on. Enter your 2FA code.

Subscribe to these groceries. Pay a membership fee for the right to subscribe then tip your driver who delivers the subscriptions your membership lets you subscribe to. Time to work? We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

Brace Belden talks about meeting a Cuban child with cystic fibrosis named Carlos who the Trump administration is deliberately murdering in hopes that his family will respond by overthrowing the government and replacing it with a bunch of Trump's real estate friends from Miami.

a few days ago when Jake Tapper was being heavily discussed, it surprised me that nobody posted the greatest article of all time and the seminal work of Jake's career. young people just don't know about the classics I guess https://t.co/0cwtwB3YOT

Overnight, Israeli forces invaded a town in Lebanon and killed at least 41 Lebanese people, including civilians and children, to try and recover the 40-year-old remains of a dead IDF soldier.

The US government - especially but not only in foreign policy - increasingly seems like an automaton that is not affected at all by the desires or beliefs of its population.

Half the number of hostages taken on 10/7 and it won’t be a blip, no ribbons will be worn on cable news, and Israel will make no serious attempt to justify the snatchings

I am starting a business of selling DECOAL - its decoy coal in case the grinch arrives before Santa. Then he gets coal instead of presents. Of course this will radicalize him in a bad way next year which is when I’m starting a business selling machetes
