Watched My Cousin Vinny again. It is a perfect movie. And very political. I had missed that.

Marissa Tomei is the reason I have a type. First woman I was attracted to, before I even knew what that was.

i really hate when we talk about books like they're shopping lists of tropes

It’s happening!!!! Absolutely amazing news!

the brain rot that people on this website have about follower count is unreal. "your responsibility" to what???

The Sumud Flotilla is entering dangerous waters in the next 24 hours. It would be great to see some reporting on this . Thank you for your attention to this matter

Hot Take: You Do Owe The World Something You can’t go through life without the help of others. So it is on you to help them as well.

A short blog post about something that has been on my mind for a while

How do I block these facebook ass boomer memes from my feed?

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

For the morning crowd.

Window Management will not save the iPad Apple made a computer that is quite good at a few things. Too bad those things don’t make any money.

I wrote a blog post about how the new iPad update will not make more people use it.

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

THE GAS BELONGS TO GAZA! 🇵🇸

Tel Aviv granted 12 gas exploration licenses to companies in areas within Palestinian maritime zones.

This is a violation of international law, as 20 nautical miles from Gaza's coast fall within Palestinian maritime jurisdiction 🤬🤬🤬

Everyone keeps harping on about what is a dad movie and all of y'all are wrong. None of you will ever know what a dad movie is until you hang out with your dad while he's watching Guns of Navarrone for the 19th time. Now that is a Dad movie.

Is this the right to self defence?

This is far more egregious than Cambridge Analytica. However, nobody in media is covering this.

Anthony Bourdain holding a comically large golden banana: So out here you eat this every day?

Donkey Kong: O K !

Anthony Bourdain: wow! Incredible

Hasbara: "There is no starvation in Gaza."

Also Hasbara: "There is starvation in Gaza."

Holy shit, Maus is good. Last time I read it was for an undergrad world lit course, and I’ll just say that I missed a LOT. And it could only have worked exactly as it is—as a graphic novel.

The Simpsons Planet of the Apes musical

One of my strongest beliefs is if they actually put this on Broadway it would absolutely destroy at the award shows and run for 20 years

Webtoons are very popular btw

Islamist parties are some of the only democratic forces left that oppose US backed dictators. The Muslim Brotherhood does not survive because of reconfigured antisemitic tropes that the American right loves.

They are the only alternative.

Pretty much. Last month the world got close to a nuclear war between India and Pakistan.

Guess why the two countries' have border disputes?

Yeah this seems plausible to me

We blame Trump, but this is an Israel-driven escalation of a conflict Kamala was fully behind. Trump might have had a greater propensity to act, but that's a minor factor in the scheme of things

hearing it's, um, illegal for us to bomb Iran?
whew that's a relief!

If you are any country.

Ukraine is in its situation because it gave back the nukes.

Or I may read

Hundreds of thousands died because of the subterfuge and imperialism by USAID.
