Oh good, I was so worried they might have to suffer sitting out fucking Eurovision. Can you even imagine the damage that might cause them?

I missed this because I was too busy dancing to the news of Kissinger’s death, but amazing news! Big W for Panama and the protesters especially!

Suddenly my skin is clear, my crops are watered, the sun is shining, the grass is green, and my grades are up :D

This realization somehow amazes and depresses me at the same time

You can’t point out hypocrisy without “whataboutism”. You could say it was an ad hominem, but not whataboutism, when the point is to show someone is a hypocrite.

It caused me to pay attention to Ireland’s news over the past few days which is how I’ve come to find that somebody just tried to hack an innocent stranger to death with a machete in Dublin yesterday. No riots or even protests though, so clearly you need a concerted effort to get that type of thing going and it’s not just people getting angry at the news.

Owners/ceos need to be held accountable so they actually care what is happening

This. Until someone with real power is actually held accountable for the shit they purposefully or passively allow, nothing will be done about it as long as long as it remains profitable.

50 over the course of all the days of ceasefire to ensure nobody breaks the ceasefire. Israel will do the same with their 150 civilians. If you release all at once, there might be an incentive to break the ceasefire earlier.

Oh you might be right about that. I didn’t read too carefully after I saw that babies were snatched. If they weren’t taken from any parents/caregivers it would matter a lot more how they were treated afterwards, but I still think the practice, even when it leads to better outcomes, is morally repugnant because it opens a very dangerous door to ever sign off on what essentially functions as human trafficking. Although it does make me slightly more relieved that at least they weren’t taken from their parents. Glad you caught that!

No matter how well or unwell intentioned, stealing babies from their parents to give to someone else has always been one of the most revolting crimes out there for me. Absolutely vile regardless of how the baby snatchers intend to treat the kid.

Something about calling them “rival Koreas” is kinda cute ngl

I think falsely claiming preschoolers have rooms for masturbation or anything sex-related is still a tad worse than falsely claiming they shit or pee weirdly. They serve the same goal of attacking public schools, but one still just seems more fucked up than the other.

Did you see the viral videos of the former state deparment guy who served under five presidents up until and including Obama? He went apeshit on some random middle eastern street food vendor calling him all sorts names, saying 4000 Palestinian dead kids wasn’t enough, and claiming that he’d send his picture to Egyptian authorities so they could “take care of” his family with a big smile on his face.

No idea why he let the mask drop in public now, but there is no way that his extreme convictions weren’t known to his colleagues all these years. I’m actually starting to understand why both the democrats and the republicans seem so oddly in tune with each other on this subject. That guy wasn’t a one-off lunatic, he was just the only one dumb enough to get himself filmed and put on the internet. Every time we get more information from what is being said behind the scenes it really shows.

Another two Lebanese journalists were just killed by IDF in south lebanon. One of which was killed just an hour after having tweeted that israel has been intimidating journalists and that they couldn’t stay quiet. I hope they’ll get air support there because it is absolutely ridiculous at this point how many they’ve killed. I don’t know why Iran would need it, even from Russia’s pov. I haven’t heard of them being directly involved yet.

They also assassinated their journalist Shireen Abu Akleh last year so idk what type of ceasefire it is when only one side gets to murder the others (but they didn’t drop any bombs so it’s ok).

For some reason I would have thought they already had it? But whatever you know how the old saying goes, better late than never.
