I don't recall any previous transformative technologies having to be sold so desperately. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Netflix teases that Warner Brosβ theatrical release windows will evolve to become shorter
βMy pushback has been mostly in the fact of the long exclusive windows, which we donβt really think are that consumer friendly,β says Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos
Iβm sorry.
The notion that Hamas is a terrorist organisation whilst the state of Israel, currently perpetrating genocide, is not, destroys the last disintegrating remnants of credibility western govts had.
This is colonialism, in all its savagery.
Calling the Gaza genocide a "war" is like seeing a man beating a toddler to death and calling it a "fight".
So much evil hides behind calling this thing a war. If you accept that it's a war then you have to take seriously arguments like "It's a war, civilians die in war," or "Hamas shouldn't have started a war they can't win." If it's a war then it has two sides who share comparable levels of responsibility for any bad things that happen during that time.
But it's not a war, it's a naked ethnic cleansing operation being carried out by a highly sophisticated military with the backing of the most powerful empire that has ever existed. It's a globe-spanning power structure openly purging a Palestinian territory of Palestinian life using a full siege and the systematic destruction of all healthcare and civilian infrastructure, being resisted by a few thousand guys with homemade rockets and dwindling supplies. That's not a "war". It's not even a "conflict". It's a slaughter. It's a holocaust.
If the Gaza holocaust is a "war", then shooting fish in a barrel is "hunting". Beating up a quadriplegic is a "street brawl". A SWAT team shooting an unarmed civilian is a "gun fight". No conflicts are perfectly equal, but past a certain level of one-sidedness the language of conflict becomes absurd. The daily massacres we are seeing in Gaza are far beyond that point.
They are raining military explosives on top of a giant concentration camp packed full of children while deliberately starving the entire civilian population to death. They have complete control over the enclave, and they are using that control to eradicate the presence of Palestinians in Gaza. That is not war. That is genocide.
I first read the Night World series in my mid teens. I've thought about it often since then, hoping she'd finish it one day. I'm sad I'll never get to know how it ended, but even sadder for her family. RIP
