@rameshgupta Up until October 7 and its aftermath, I fully supported an immediate Palestinian state. After that point, I completely understand Israeli opposition to one, at least until Palestinian politics decides they're going to quit pursuing the idea of wiping Israel off the map by any means necessary and to pursue a state instead. And as much as I dislike Netanyahu I completely understand his total opposition to the international community's attempt to shove a Palestinian state down Israel's throat immediately after October 7. It's not like the PA has gone out of its way to distance itself from that attack. It can't even manage to wholeheartedly condemn it.

I hate the little ants.

The enshitification will continue until morale improves!

Can't argue with this.

Probably right.

I have Copilot turned off, and I don't have Github tied to my IDE.

Get yourself a copy of this book: https://www.amazon.com/True-False-Analysts-Guide-Spotting/dp/1250239494 and then read it.

Actually I was incorrect. Zero flights were allowed out, and Saudi flights were allowed to leave after 09/13/2001 once air space re-opened. https://cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/Commission-report-on-bin-Laden-flights.pdf

Never trust anything from Michael More. He knows nothing about anything he chooses to talk about.

And without a content warning of any kind, because their activism and outrage trumps our right to decide to take something in which was supposed to be the benefit of content warnings, every single time. 👁

I'd have to check, but I think most charter flights were allowed out.

@8124 @Properganda If this is the case, then I suspect that whoever relayed the order to seize didn't actually have the authority to do so. Someone's going to get fired for being overzealous. Haven't had a chance to look at Hebrew media yet today.

@8124 @Properganda Yes please!

@rameshgupta @Properganda I don't know. I mean he could surprise me I guess, but then he has to get through the rest of the time without stepping on anymore rakes, and I just don't see that happening. I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect that a lot of people are going to be in for a 2016-style shock come November, except this time will be way worse because Trump is nothing but openly petty and vindictive these days.

@rameshgupta @Properganda He's going to botch it, Biden has never been good on his feet except in a clock-is-right-twice-a-day sense. And while most of the time that's not really important, it's vitally important in an election year.

@rameshgupta @Properganda Also Tucker's antisemitism don't forget that. And he has the ear of Trump.

@8124 @Properganda We need gallows humor now. Or at least I do. And yes we'll need it in spades because he's probably getting re-elected.

@8124 @Properganda Yeah that too but only one online trashfire at a time please it's better for all of our sanity.

@rameshgupta @Properganda First Amendment absolutism is going to be the death of us.

@8124 @Properganda Oh I'm not disagreeing with this at all. Just pointing out the irony of the sudden love of the First Amendment and "culture of free speech" by anti-Israel types.
