I truly have no one to talk to about listening to Francis Fukuyama on Odd Lots go from talking about thumos to talking about Etsy, so I'm just sitting on the Amtrak laughing to myself.

Nothing better than eating (and drinking) at the bar at a good restaurant. Protect restaurant bartenders at all costs.

Thank you My Loup, Pizzeria Beddia, and Dancerobot for excellent experiences. I'll be back in Philly asap.

Dress sneakers are a plague. I just watched a party of very well dressed men and women in cocktail attire leave a party - the women looked incredible, and the men were so close, until you got to white rubber soles blinding the street. Pathetic.

Weird, she ‘moderated’ on trans rights and yet her opponent is still calling her a deranged leftist SJW. If only there was some kind of precedent for this so it could have been predicted in advance.
Marcy Kaptur is the incumbent with a 5 point polling lead so I must assume she put out this ad because this is what she believes.

It’s amazing (extremely negative) how U.S. diplomacy is focused on getting the aggressor a win, trying to find some way to secure gains for Russia that the Russian military has failed — for over 4.5 years and counting! — to achieve on the battlefield.

What an awful, consequential, damaging change.
Kushner on Ukraine:

“President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine, you know, wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously, you know, we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that.”

As for calling Smotrich and Ben-Gvir "fringe", it would be like in the US saying Stephen Miller and Russell Vought are "fringe". They hold leadership in central government and direct central government actions! They can't be a fringe figure when they're in charge.

To add additional context to what the problem of "Netanyahu's policies" or "fringe public figures like Smotrich/Ben-Gvir" are: statements like this attempt to separate specific political figures from active Israeli state policy and the sentiments of the broader Israeli population.
You can see this in other ways too

If someone says settlement construction is "counterproductive" as opposed to illegal, or that Israel must "investigate itself" as opposed to be investigated by the US or UN, or "Netanyahu's policies" or "fringe public figures like Smotrich/Ben-Gvir"
It's not 100% of the time but a good heuristic for determining whether or not someone is actually serious about Palestine in any way, shape or form is if they talk about "settler violence" in place of the settlements themselves. If they do that, you can guess that they're pro settlements.

Towards the end of this clip she explicitly downplays the importance of Palestinian human rights and says that settler violence is primarily bad for Israel’s own societal health and public image lol
Hillary Clinton: "I love Israel, and I hate Netanyahu's government and his policies. I love America, and I hate Trump's government and policies ... if the Israelis want to vote for that again, then I think the United States has to take a very tough position."

Multiple former Israeli generals, who were more than happy to preside over the illegal occupation when it served their careers, are now comparing Israeli behavior towards Palestinians to the Holocaust in the New York Times.

It'll be interesting to see how Dana Bash and Jake Tapper react, if at all.

Thank god an Israeli newspaper confirmed everything that the UN, Amnesty, HRW, Doctors Without Borders, every single Palestinian medical institution, the Red Cross, and European fact finding mission already said about Israeli prisons. I would never have believed it until Haaretz told me.

Many people are under this impression that apartheid has to describe the legal structure of the Real Society™ and therefore offloading systematic discrimination on the basis of race to controlled persons in an occupied territory is actually fine, and there is so much to say about this misconception.

If you want to go to a trade school, great? Think college isn’t for you? Ok.

But that’s not what this is, this is the government trying to do culture war social engineering while also staring down their noses at poor kids and preemptively deciding things like: I don’t want you as my doctor, next
BASH: One of the things that's happening is there's a push to start students down a trade school track as early as elementary school. Is that too early?

LINDA McMAHON: I don't think so

BASH: But elementary school?
