@davidfowl Ending up doing something like that myself in dotnet/runtime this month. Using copilot CLI and GitHub CCA to burn through test infra backlogs that would be tedious to do by hand.
If Israel were found to have hoarded baby formula during summer 2025, there would be endless coverage. There would be condemnations by everyone from US Senators to your local dog catcher. You know this is true. But instead it’s Hamas and sadly, no one cares.
Protesting synagogues, entering the synagogue to harass people & harassing Jews as they enter & leave is straight up antisemitic. Yet it keeps happening & it’s quickly being normalized.
Let’s be clear: Protesting synagogues must *never* be normalized.
I did not see a single word in your response that explains this twisted decision - because there is no explanation for it.
This deplorable decision must be revoked immediately.
🚨 BREAKING:
Guinness told Israeli organizers it won’t certify their kidney donor record because it has stopped taking any requests from Israel.
Israel’s “Gift of Life” organization tried to register a world record celebrating 2,000 altruistic kidney donors who saved strangers’ lives. Guinness accepted the fees, reviewed the materials, and then abruptly announced it no longer processes submissions from Israel.
The decision leaves one of the most extraordinary medical and humanitarian achievements in the world completely erased from the record books.
For some reason, saving lives is only contraversial when Israel does it.

Josh shapiro getting framed as some insane israel freak when his position is no different or even better from most dems in congress and other 2028 candidates is fucking disgusting and verging on antisemitic bs.
Rabbi @AmmiHirsch sat down with Zohran Mamdani.
He came with an open mind.
He left with a pit in his stomach.
Zohran made it crystal clear:
He doesn’t believe Israel has any right to exist.
Not within the ‘67 lines.
Not within the ‘48 borders.
Not at all.
That’s not “policy disagreement.”
That’s Hamas with better PR.
That’s the ideology behind October 7th.
And now it’s running New York City.
Can't believe affluent transplants who cosplay as socialists prioritize Palestinian nationalism over the needs of the working class. Who could have seen it coming? If only some minority group on the receiving end of their insanity had loudly warned about this for years.
Can you imagine Harvard asking if we should let go of our radical Muslim friend?
Or our queer socialist friend?
What snobby, pseudo-intellectual brats who believe they are far more sophisticated than they actually are.
The future is the Crimson Tide, not Harvard Crimson!
🚨 BREAKING: Leaked BBC report admits editors pushed Hamas propaganda.
BBC News & Arabic service “minimised Israeli suffering,” “painted Israel as the aggressor,” and aired Hamas claims without checks.
Proof: BBC bias wasn’t a mistake – it was policy.

An Israeli research center says documents found in Gaza show Hamas issued media instructions to Al Jazeera and coordinated its coverage. The papers also list several Al Jazeera reporters as Hamas operatives involved in the group’s military activities.

CAIR is suing Northwestern University because students were asked to watch a video about antisemitism.
That’s the whole lawsuit.
They claim it violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Why?
Because the video shows quotes from David Duke next to nearly identical ones from anti-Israel activists.
“How DARE you expose the fact we sound like the Klan!” —CAIR
Let’s not forget that CAIR’s executive director said he was “happy to see” the October 7th terrorist invasion.
But now they’re pretending to care about civil rights?
Please.
Pathetic doesn’t even begin to cover it.
@davidfowl The number of times copilot tries to avoid building or testing code really reflects on the industry (as our online discourse is the training set).
Swedish foreign office has confirmed that Greta Thunberg never reported ill-treatment at their many meetings and that she refused to sign the papers securing her release, thereby deliberately prolonging her time in Israeli custody. The woman is a pathological liar and media and useful idiots swallow it all.
The failure to disclose the narrator of this documentary was a Hamas official’s son is of course an egregious breach of BBC’s ethics and standards.
Nonetheless, candidly, as a PhD student in linguistics/machine translation, I think that this deliberate mistranslation to hide genocidal antisemitism is the far graver issue with respect to this documentary. It is the single worst breach of professional translator ethics I have ever seen.
The fact that there has been barely a whisper within the interpreting/translating field about this is most telling. Most telling indeed.
The primary takeaway you should have from things like this is that it's not just "criticism of Israel" that is happening in the Democratic party. The inability to reject Jew hating extremists is resulting in a growing number of Jews feeling alienated.
If Israeli forces killed these kids the volume of coverage would be quite high. But since it was Hamas murdering Palestinian kids it's just another day. The global coverage and diplomacy's blindspot of what Hamas really is helps perpetuate this conflict, condemning both peoples.
After October 7, antisemitism surged on Reddit to levels not seen before. Moderators of Jewish and Israel-related communities were inundated with posts glorifying the attacks, calling Jews "Zionazis," and calling for Judaism to be wiped off the face of the earth.
Moderators went to Reddit's trust and safety officials, who presented a series of solutions that, combined, had the effect of putting Jewish users of the site into what the moderators describe as a "digital ghetto"—the first of its kind in internet history.
This included Reddit:
- Pushing Jewish editors to disable cross-posting—a non-standard setting that required backend changes
- Strongly discouraging Jewish mods from reporting antisemitic or pro-terror content outside their own subreddits
- Advising Jews mods to place their subreddits into restricted mode.
“It was surreal,” said another moderator. “We were disciplined for reporting content that violated Reddit’s own hate-speech rules.”
