The Israeli government denies mistreating Greta Thunberg. Then Police Min Itamar Ben Gvir goes on TV to gleefully announcing that she was indeed tortured. He says he's proud of the fact. It's a great demonstration of how the Israeli government under Netanyahu works, unable to coordinate its lies

Gourdhub home page with sexy pumpkin videos

I spent way too long making this Gourdhub home page:

what about deradicalizing israelis, the majority of whom see palestinians as subhuman? who insist there are no innocents in gaza? who block aid convoys? who attack palestinian villages? who learn in their schools that palestinians are a fictional people while looking at maps with no green line?

YK is one of my favorite holidays, but yeah, toad, same.

Alt text: A screenshot of a New York Times article excerpt. The highlighted section reads: “And the diagnostic expansion has now become a flashpoint in a long-running debate over how autism should [be] defined, one that has divided parents and activists, ignited social media battles and grown fiercer with Mr. Kennedy’s laser focus on autism.” The surrounding unhighlighted text discusses the rise in autism diagnoses, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s statements calling it an “epidemic,” and his controversial remarks about autistic children.

This is basically line for line the exact same thing she said about gender dysphoria in trans youth right down to the divide between parents and activists along with social media battles.

Early last semester, Droubi said, students began approaching Cheyfitz with complaints that a graduate student in the “Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance” class appeared to be recording them, possibly to “gather their names and comments” and intimidate them. “We believe that a student came to the course for the sole reason of surveilling and potentially harming students in the class,” Droubi said. “That ended up proving itself to be true because multiple students came forward and shared their concerns with Professor Cheyfitz.” Cheyfitz said one Palestinian student quit the class after telling him she felt upset and frightened. Current Issue Cover of October 2025 Issue October 2025 Issue According to Cheyfitz, the graduate student often steered conversations away from the assigned readings—which at that point mostly focused on definitions of genocide and international law on Indigenous rights—to defend Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza and argue with others in the class. “He clearly had not done the readings,” Cheyfitz said. “It was disruptive.” Cheyfitz said he met with the graduate student in late January and spoke to him about concerns from his classmates. During the conversation, he asked the graduate student to drop the course, and by the next class, he did, Cheyfitz said. The graduate student, Oren Renard, a PhD candidate in computer science whose identity was confirmed by other students in the class, previously served in Israel’s elite military surveillance agency, Unit 8200, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

why, when my bike ride to the doctor was 25 minutes, and from there to the therapist was ten minutes at least partly back north, was my ride home 50 minutes? at least beach drive is beautiful and car-free.

JD Vance looks bad bc he’s tightlining his waterline, which you generally should only do if you’re wearing eyeshadow and/or mascara - it gives more definition to where your eyeballs actually start which makes them seem bigger. For general use, just a black pencil ABOVE your lash line is best imo

it’s also part of the sports panic : the argument that trans women have an unfair advantage in sports is an argument for female inferiority.
