Anyone got a link to iran having let the US know first?
I ask because like you literally just google what you don't know. Everyone in the industry knows this, but you can't fucking say that at an interview
Just a personal anecdote, but i once said exactly that - that I'm a good googler. Then I went into a spiel about how being able to navigate to certain corners of the interent is an underrated skill in todays world. I ended up getting that job.
Might not always work, but i wouldn't necessarily shy away from talking about it.
Well, Macron appointed a new prime minister. Guess which party they're not part of.
Although, i feel like youre joking?
Idk about recently, but the knesset did try to expel him. 85 voted in favor. It failed to get the required 90 though and he remained there. At least at that point
The amount of people wanting to cozy up to the Dems now is too damn high.
from that article:
In this collection’s finest work, Levy’s sentences are cold poetry of a sort. She deals individual cards rather than handles an entire deck. Her stories are vignettes, and the observations whoosh past your ears: “We wouldn’t be collectivizing the Adderall sector”; on drugs, “I could dig a hole to China and save the Uyghurs”;
who the fuck is this person. They suck.
what Israel actually deserves is unlimited genocide
I know theres been struggle sessions around this kind of ironic talk before, but i mean, come on, this shit is just stupid to say.
We shouldn't say it for the same reason we dont have a burning Israel flag emoji.
Israel is a settler-colonial state currently engaging in genocide (and basically has been since its creation). It should be dismantled as a state. Yes. Say that. Not this stupid ass shit you're trying to push. Its dumb and childish and will only drive people away.
What were the most unhinged moments of Netanyahu's speech?
How NYT chooses to report on fatah/hamas agreement:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/23/world/middleeast/fatah-hamas-china-statement.html
“What happened in China isn’t significant,” said Jehad Harb, an analyst of Palestinian affairs. “There aren’t any indications that Hamas and Fatah intend to end the split between them.”
“These statements aren’t worth the ink needed to write them,” said Abd Al-Rahman Basem al-Masri, 25, a resident of Deir al Balah in central Gaza. “We’ve seen these things before and we’ve lost hope in them.”
Great example of how media tries to control narratives.
But after the last decade week it felt like time to come home to the most powerful posters.
Can someone fill me in on the coconut thing? Missed that...
That question is like asking how is one piece of shit smellier than the other. They're both horrible.
My point is that i get the impression Harris pisses off the general electorate with her condescending tone more than Biden's genocide does. I think she'll fare worse.
They won't seriously put up Harris, will they? She's going to lose worse than Joe would've.
But who else would even want the nom at this point?
Trump just picked Vance.
What are right-wing online spaces going on about right now? I dont have it in me to check them out..
Anyone else find the flase flag theories a bit hard to swallow? I mean. I wouldnt put it past Trump to orchestrate a failed assasination, but this worked out too well for him. I find it hard to beleive this was scripted. One slight mishap or second earlier and hes legit dead....
Obviously fuck these laws. And even if these laws state that universities cannot legally divest, they should divest anyway and say 'fuck you, take me to court'--but, with that aside, what are the actual details of these laws?
I know it varies state to state, but in PA, for example, where the UPenn encampment was raided this morning, the university says "Penn remains unequivocally opposed to divestment, and it is unlawful for institutions receiving funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
From what I can tell, there's just a 2016 law that states that the government of PA essentially can't do business with entities that have divested from Israel--but how does that legally prevent the entity from actually doing so on their part?
I keep seeing this claim that "It's illegal to divest, so we as a university can't do so. Tough luck." Not only is it ethically BS, but it seems to be a straight up lie, too?
