Charitably, one could also consider that Ukraine might be voting with the US for buttering up purposes. They do kinda need Trump to somehow stay on their side.

Both of those things are caused by us pumping groundwater. The sea level rise is significant. But it only correlates with the axis tilt, it does not cause it.

cat tax!!

Ben Gvir needs to be locked in the Hague forever.

I read “brutish” as “british” on first glance

Is it any better than DesMuMe?

Using the website on my mac, on chrome. Weird.

Did tagging people break with the update? When I type @ nothing shows up.

WOOOO

Both sides have said the same thing and offered peace deals that the other side is unwilling to accept, doesn’t really matter if neither side wants to negotiate. Sucks that the civilians just have to suffer while two assholes fight it out.

Unbroken ampersands? hallelujah

no they’re not, they specifically were fine with giving it back to Egypt cuz they didn’t care about Sinai. It’s historically never been a Jewish place, they have no reason to want it, and Egypt is somewhat an ally of theirs.

Read this as Biden being 14th worst, not the best headline :p Kinda impossible to rank them especially when either one could have another term still…

Not Sinai though

but yeah, irredentist fuckery is annoying

caveat of course being that the Israeli far right are full of cuckoos

why would Israel want to annex Gaza? they’ve entirely destroyed most of its infrastructure, and it’d cost a massive amount to rebuild, and it’s not even really in their identity in the same way that “Judea and Samaria” aka the West Bank is

Maybe not in America with the Super Bowl but sports can do a lot more than just “a bunch of millionaires throwing a ball around”. The Ivory Coast making the World Cup caused a civil war to stop; the qualifications between El Salvador and Honduras started one. Hong Kong beating China in 1985 caused riots in Beijing; while basketball has given America someone who can do diplomacy with Kim Jong-un because the Supreme Leader of North Korea likes basketball

Single incidents of murder or other crimes also don’t “impact the world in significant ways” but are most certainly news. Why is this not? It affects more people.

They’re literally both terrorists, I don’t know what to tell you. But even when killing civilians, there are rules that sometimes allow it according to proportionality rules (which I think Israel has violated). And of course the Israeli government actively wants to and are by the definitions of many committing genocide, which is way worse.

Unless you think that Hamas killing people at a music festival is somehow a valid military target, they’re terrorists. Just like how the IDF are terrorists for attacking Palestinian journalists and innocent family members.
