  1. Thanks. Details and accuracy are important. This site has a lot of folks that love history. Reading about, discussing it. We have had some cool threads with book or other media suggestions. No history fan wants to read a fictitious account or even an inaccurate account of an event. I don’t think it’s too much to expect for those same standards be applied in real time as humanly possible. There are a lot of folks on this site that also should read the link brickhorn posted above.
  2. Of course. But that isn’t what we are talking about.
  3. Exactly. And now AI is possibly making things even murkier or deliberate misinformation. As a photographer (not my day job), I am extremely reluctant to see a photo on social media and accept it as real/true. Now, more than ever, there needs to be serious source validation and citation.
  4. There seems to still be a lot of confusion about the baby beheading news. I don’t dare post the cnn article over in DT which states Israeli officials can’t confirm it. It is bizarre that this story cannot be confirmed. Less bizarre is the same people who use this story as validation that Palestinians are “animals” also are dismissive of its relevance because of all the other horrors that happened on Saturday. I guess it’s my liberal arts degree that allows me to be horrified by the attacks but also want to have accurate and honest reporting.
  5. ah, didn’t see it was just posted a bit ago. Posting since it’s being reported on Reuters. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/syria-state-tv-says-israeli-attack-targets-aleppo-damascus-airports-2023-10-12/
  6. La Quinta: at least we aren’t Palace Inn
  7. Well, if I am being honest, I can’t think of a restaurant, fast food or otherwise, with excellent chili. Maybe some with passable, but that’s it.
  8. I was unaware chili cheese fries are now on the menu. Interesting.
  9. I posted this in the other thread, but perhaps helpful here. Not been vetted for dates but a quick scan it looked right. https://reddit.com/r/MapPorn/s/lFRyr6xVt2
  10. I’ll post this here even though it’s not political. But it’s not news either. I follow this cool account on Instagram where a guy looks for old film in thrift stores and elsewhere. He digitizes it and cleans it up to show people. They uploaded several clips from the early 60s of life in Israel. Do not read the comments. https://instagram.com/p/CyRZZWGgN4j/
  11. I saw this on Reddit, but have not had time to verify all the dates. However, I thought some folks might find this interesting and/or helpful in understanding the region and border history. https://reddit.com/r/MapPorn/s/VsuwPRCfDA
  12. Yep. It’s basically if you don’t support razing Gaza, you are an antisemite. And not only that, we can’t discuss it. But you can call someone that in the news thread.
  13. Black lab, my suggestion for DT was sincere. And I am not talking down to you or imma (or the mods), but the whole DT/CR thing has been talked about since Shaggy. That is my sincere suggestion for fixing it. 90% of the news threads are inherently political. If it was up to me, I would either not allow any comments other than links to news stories or just merge the two sub forums and walk away. Y’all have to be exhausted by the constant complaining, moderating, deleting. I haven’t gone back to look a second time, but Johnny sack sure put his toes on the line of straight up racism earlier. I reported it and it wasn’t deleted (again, I only checked once).
  14. Whatever man. A bunch of posts about Americans protesting one side or the other are all over that thread. I do not see much difference. Not to mention that subject had been discussed before. You sure everything is being moderated at the same stringent levels? Again, whatever. Just words in the void.
  15. I meant in the sense that I thought I might get labeled antisemitic for posting an article I just read (which was published today). Poor choice of words perhaps. But this DT news only thing is utter bullshit. Y’all know it too.
  16. Lulz. I linked in the news thread a yahoo news article where Bernie Sanders gave his opinion about the situation and specifically the siege of Gaza. Post is gone now. Any mods want to help me understand that?
  17. Totally agree. Gonna kick the hornets nest now.
  18. Sorry to interrupt y’all’s black (and white) panther party, but is anyone else out off by several posters throwing around the “antisemitism” in the other thread? It seems to be used when someone questions a source or is concerned with innocent children who have absolutely no say it what is happening. Everything on Twitter/social media should be questioned and vetted. That isn’t antisemitism. Nor is expressing heartbreak for any child being slaughtered.
  19. That is what I would be inclined to do as well. But I have made some questionable career decisions as of late, so maybe throw my opinion out haha.
  20. Well fuck. Basques are tough sumbitches.
  21. Hahaha, I’m dead: https://www.threads.net/@lukehurd/post/CyPmZ_1OTev/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
  22. Has surly come up with the bare minimum requirements for reclaiming a homeland? Just curious because I have been eyeing this nice little town in the foothills of the Pyrenees with my surname.
  23. I do love me some finger, jalapeño, and cheese sausages.
  24. Looks like some kind of reunion is in the works. https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/seinfeld-reunion-jerry-seinfeld-teases-finale-revival-project-1235750552/amp/
