It’s not about the lifts.
It was never about the lifts.
It’s about masculine insecurity and the deceit that surrounds it.

One end of the political spectrum doesn’t care to understand climate change, healthcare, guns, income inequality, or a billionaire tax, so if we want to engage on those topics one side is left yelling into the void.

However, if there is one thing the right does understand, it is masculine insecurity and deceit. So we get to talk about that.

Sound pretty clear to me. And if you include the context of each sentence, before and after, I don’t see how much clearer it could get.

He said that the UN had failed to prevent previous genocides against the Tutsis in Rwanda, Muslims in Bosnia, the Yazidi in Iraqi Kurdistan and the Rohingya in Myanmar and wrote: “High Commissioner we are failing again.

“The current wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people, rooted in an ethno-nationalist colonial settler ideology, in continuation of decades of their systematic persecution and purging, based entirely upon their status as Arabs … leaves no room for doubt.”

Mokhiber added: “This is text book case of genocide” and said the US, UK and much of Europe were not only “refusing to meet their treaty obligations” under the Geneva Conventions but were also arming Israel’s assault and providing political and diplomatic cover for it.

This has to be satire. Right?

Garak is a simple tailor. He resolves an impossible situation in the least tailorly way possible yet somehow maintains plausible deniability.

He burned 22 billion because he was forced to after being a doofus. He is not destroying microblogging, he is destroying the environment around microblogging on his platform. It is his new toy that was never worth what he paid for it, so there is little point (to him) in trying to recoup monetary value. It’s value is to him is being his personal playground.

This is all kinds of stupid. Not only are these folk openly bigoted, they don’t care whether their bigotry is misapplied from their stated target. They just want to hate somebody.

NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban said the protests of summer 2020, sometimes spontaneous, “presented many unique challenges for officers” who were trying to protect people’s First Amendment rights while ensuring public safety.

The Public was safer before the police showed up.

Oh dear.
Here we go again…

Wheat and sunflowers are hobbled by the war in Ukraine; now rice. What else should I have on my global food crisis bingo card? Mad cow? Bird flu? Corn? Beans? Are we going to lose all the bananas again?

Well, that’s fucking terrifying. Because the “border” legally extends ~~80~~ 100 miles in from the actual border due to some other stupid ruling.

Edit: miles
