As Israel increasingly relies on US evangelicals for support, younger ones are walking away: What polls show | Brookings Shibley Telhami analyzes survey data showing younger American evangelicals being less supportive of the U.S. leaning towards Israel over the Palestinians.

In 2021, I wrote this article: "As Israel increasingly relies on US evangelicals for support, younger ones are walking away: What polls show."

I honestly just get way too attached to all my open tabs and so I kinda pretend I don't know that it's quite bad for the computers, plus I kept telling myself that "I need them" - when I clearly do not!! good riddance, I'm free (at least for a while) 😂

those're all good points!! but in my case, I have been previously informed many times, by multiple people that lots of tabs are bad for computers so I can't plead ignorance.😂 I use Duckduckgo browser, not google, & I think he was mocking the high # of trackers to indirectly critique the # of tabs 😂

he really stressed how terrible it is; I can still hear him exclaiming in distress, "does it say over 2000 trackers blocked just this week?? with 100s of tabs loading up everytime?? you're killing your phone!!" and begging me to have mercy on this poor box of circuits. 😂 it seem like legit advice!

tech friend expressed at length such genuine horror, sincere upset upon finding out I had +300 tabs open on my phone, that it made a real impression on me --> so this morning, I recklessly closed all tabs at once. liberation! and another reminder that freedom is never given, it must be taken. 😂

An absolutely electric victory speech by Mamdani tonight: "We have bowed at the alter of caution and paid a mighty price". Here's hoping the rest of the Democratic party is listening.

An editorial cartoon divided into two panels. On the left, a couple watching tv news; the wife asks out loud "Dick Cheney's been compared to Darth Vader. I wonder how he feels about that..." On the right stands Darth Vader, dark lord of the Sith. "I'm hurt" he replies.

I recently met an experienced, middle-aged, professional political advisor to the California democrats and he told me in all seriousness and with a straight face that, until this year, he "didn't know racism was a thing in america anymore" because "it doesn't really exist in my state."

I say this with all the disrespect in the world, but I have no patience for anyone making excuses for the Saudi or Emirati regimes. Especially if you’re an Arab. You know what you’re doing.
