Americans' sympathies in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have shifted dramatically, new poll shows A new Gallup poll shows that American sympathies in the Middle East have shifted dramatically toward the Palestinians after decades of overwhelming support for the Israelis.

Americans, you get that you are being rushed into war with Iran because Israel knows that this is probably the last US administration that can be counted on to overlook ethnic cleansing, provide a blank check and fight their wars for them, right?

But they weren't, draining their credibility and giving credibility to Carlson, which is a bad thing.

And it lays bare the strategic error of trying to de-legitimize any and all criticism of Israel.

Tucker Carlson is an all but open Nazi and his critique is tuned to the antisemitic right - which is why better journalists should have been doing a better job so the tough questions Israel's defenders should be facing come from someone with more credibility.

Parodies that were taken literally and became as popular or more popular than the things they were parodies of:

Tweet from Harry Sisson stating that the FBI interviewed a girl who accused Trump of assault when she was 13–15 years old and deemed her credible, followed by the question, “Exonerated by who, exactly?” Embedded below is a screenshot of a tweet quoting Trump saying he has been totally exonerated regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

The FBI has not released all the evidence it has on this victim or her allegations against Trump. Her story was credible enough to be used to sue Epstein successfully and help convict Ghislaine Maxwell. Why can't the world see an unredacted 302 report?

Just finished the Final Architecture trilogy, man is Adrian Tchaikovsky a great writer!

Huge sprawling high end space opera with universal stakes but character driven. Big ideas, dramatic set pieces and a satisfying conclusion.

Just a joy to read.

Went to a local comic show today and found a quest item in a $3 box. One of Tom Sutton's earliest covers for Charlton.

He's always loved bullying people with litigation but have you noticed that there is ONE thing he never sues over no matter how increasingly often he's accused of it?

You'd think he was scared of the discovery process that would ensue if he did or something...

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

I'm a big fan of Darmok and one of the most interesting things about it is that it baffled and blew people's minds at the time - but today a newcomer would probably just say 'Oh, they speak in meme. OK.'

Poll showing huge boost for Liberals and huge drop for Conservatives. - 51% to 35.5%.

The Conservative Party membership doubled down on Pierre Poilievre on Friday.

This is Conservative friendly pollster Mainstreet. This is, like it or not, how the wider electorate reacted to that choice.

Conservatives, whatever you do, don't say we didn't warn you.

Stop making cops feel cool.

Don't give them bad-ass names like 'Scorpion Unit' or black paint jobs on their cruisers or black gloves on their hands to make them look menacing.

Dress and treat them like social workers who are expected to deescalate every chance they get.

If you claim that Israel is held to a different standard you are absolutely correct.

There's a standard of behaviour we expect from democracies from the one we deplore from dictatorships.

The price for claiming that you're the only democracy in the region is being expected to act like it.

This is the view near High Park in #Toronto. We’re quickly entering record breaking territory with the most snow to fall in one day. The lake effect snow just won’t quit. #Canada

Capital will use anything against labour, even Labour's own class solidarity.

Christopher Lee was slightly to the right of Genghis Khan and would probably have a stroke at being described like that but nevertheless.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Jim Lee sold Wildstorm to DC knowing that Alan Moore would never have agreed to the America's Best Comics project knowing it would be for DC. Moore had to decide on short notice if he would stand by his principles and financially destroy dozens of artists.

It was emotional blackmail but it worked.

Christopher Lee

Michael Carreras

Christopher Lee told Hammer he wouldn't make another shitty Dracula sequel forcing studio head Michael Carreras to admit he'd already pre-sold it to Warner Bros - but predicated on Lee starring and if he pulled out hundreds of people would lose their jobs. It was emotional blackmail but it worked.

The entire Image revolution was young artists who grew up tracing Art Adams and Michael Golden without ever understanding the storytelling infrastructure under the gloss.

I think we should assume that most of the statements and moves that world leaders in Canada and Europe are making right now are aimed at one audience: Republican Senators.

And Trump, sulkily and unwillingly, climbing down from military threats to Denmark suggests that strategy might be working.

Canada agrees to cut tariff on Chinese EVs in return for lower tariffs on Canadian farm products Canada has agreed to cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric cars in return for lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

Prime Minister Carney just angered his Ontario manufacturing base to help Alberta Canola farmers while you fools whine about communism.
