  1. One of my best friends in high school is Jewish. His mom died when he was real young and he was a very rebellious teenager. He got pretty heavy into drugs, dropped out of school, and was borderline homeless when his dad shipped him off to Israel. He credits his time living in Israel with changing his life. He sobered up, got back in school, met a girl and got married, and learned a trade. He and his wife eventually moved to her home country, then back to the US. I spoke with him right after 10/7 and he was understandably very angry. He had lived in one of the settlements that had been attacked and knew one person killed, and the son of a friend had been taken hostage (and later found dead). We only talk on the phone once or twice a year, and I'd been avoiding the topic for a while, but we talked last week and he actually brought it up. In short, he and his wife are having a pretty big crisis of faith over the war. They are both still very angry over 10/7, but also disgusted by what the Israeli government is doing, especially in Lebanon. I mentioned that I read the majority of Israelis were in favor of the war, and his take was that a lot of more liberal, anti-war types that had dual citizenship left after 10/7. Either to avoid conscription, or just because they knew it was a SHTF moment. Israel doesn't have absentee voting, so even if you're a citizen living abroad you can't vote in an election unless you fly back and vote in person. If you left to avoid conscription, you would likely be conscripted on the spot, so most people won't bother to go back.
  2. I think it's also possible that a lot of them see Trump's very obvious physical and cognitive decline and are trying to position themselves to take over MAGA. The dye is cast with Vance until 28, but they know MAGA hates him. There's a lot of "trump sold us out! This isn't America First!!" in their messaging.
  3. Feels like this could be a proof of concept for midterm fuckery.
  4. Arts & Crafts day at the memory care facility
  5. I played this for my daughter when she left for college and we both cried.
  6. Kushner is the new Epstein.
  7. 100%, but it goes back farther than modern Hispanics. The Pope condemned chattel slavery in 1839, but as is often the case when the church has/had an opportunity to take a moral stand, American Bishops (especially those in the south) largely looked the other way. That didn't stop Protestant pastors from using the Pope's condemnation as a selling point to recruit people to their congregations. "You can't trust those Catholics, Brother McDonald. The Pope has condemned slavery. How long do you think it will be before they show up at your farm demanding you release your laborers? We would love to see you at First Baptist this Sunday, where I promise to make you feel good about yourself no matter your sins!"
  8. I bet Obama would out drive him by 100 yards, which short of having to show America his mushroom might be the most embarrassing thing that could happen to him.
  9. We need a middle finger +rep emoji
  10. Same. I'm behind the mixing station, about half way up, dead center.
  11. This. If you set the O/U for onsite FTEs at 50 for one of these AI data centers, I'd probably take the under. They need a few heads to run the physical plant and a few people to go swap a bad drive or hard boot/kill a server, but the majority of the work is being done remotely. And the amount of jobs being killed by the work happening in those data centers is in the tens of thousands...all while burning a small city's worth of power and cooling. They are a cancer.
