@GregBoysen Proud of you, sir.

[Peter Pantsless Geraci @PnxNotDed]

Just a heads up.
I didn't drink the Drāno.

I am awake, alert, and fucking angry.

@downbadbears The best seats I've ever had for a Bears game were at this travesty.

Sports girls are so weird, like what do you mean you got Freddie Freeman’s grand slam tattooed on you? (it’s me I’m sports girls)

LFG, America!

@StacheEsq Was thinking about that being my "If she wins" bottle, and like Draino for the other outcome... or something.

@AngularEd @marcos_chi_ Yup. I live right over there in one of the other mobbed up municipalities.

You talk very morally high for someone who groomed me when I was 14 years old & you were a 20 year old at the time.

@SackCity1986 @_SmartUK @Patriots Fuck off.

[Peter Pantsless Geraci @PnxNotDed]

@_SmartUK @Patriots I agree. We shouldn't count England's world cup victory.

[Peter Pantsless Geraci @PnxNotDed]

@_SmartUK @Patriots How many?

[Peter Pantsless Geraci @PnxNotDed]

@ASFleischman Damn you.

Truly moving video, as Luis Enrique discusses the heartbreaking death of his 9-year-old daughter, who passed from bone cancer in 2019.

Amazing courage shown by current PSG manager, finding beauty from such profound tragedy ❤️❤️

From @MovistarFutbol's Enrique documentary.

@getmeoittajere @TheWapplehouse I get the feeling you must start a lot of sentences that way.

@chi_urbanist No one loses elections quite like Jim Oberweis loses elections.

In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline.

As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone.

For example:

1. Treating the 4 Israeli soldiers as more important than the 23 Palestinian children (by leading the story with their deaths and just chucking in the others at the end) implies their lives are of higher value.

2. Infantilizing active duty soldiers as "teenagers" while not emphasizing the age of the schoolkids, despite many of them being demonstrably younger.

3. The classic use of the passive voice: Israelis are "killed" while Palestinians merely "die".

4. Putting scare quotes around "23 die" subtly undermines the credibility of that claim. Maybe no one died, and the Palestinians are just lying?

5. Using the word "attack" for Hezbollah actions, but choosing a more neutral, clinical word like "strike" for Israeli aggression.

6. Allowing Israeli sources to dictate the framing of the story ("Israel names teenage soldiers") etc.

7. Actually naming the Israeli soldiers, but not doing the same for the far greater number of Palestinians, again sends the message to the reader that Palestinian lives don't matter nearly as much, if at all.

It's truly incredible how much propaganda has been packed into 16 words. We are swimming in an ocean of propaganda. That's why it is crucial to deconstruct it and critically assess everything you read, see and hear.
