@strs_rndrps That's just a good joke, Sam Kriss is 100% anti-Zionist, and in fact the joke only works because Kriss is anti-Zionist.

@subzndubz @bobo_circus Cats also meow as kittens calling for their mom.
English
@bobo_circus Cats only meow to talk to humans. It’s not really a language they understand. They just think you’re adding new word to the dictionary.
English
Sometimes when my cats are being insanely annoying and whining at me I'll begin making pitch-perfect recreations of the noises back at them, sarcastically. But I don't think cats know what irony is so I imagine the situation is very confusing and distressing for them

@AnimalLove_22 Awful music, why do you have to ruin such a cute video

@jdoobs42 @Tcho76521726 @EffectKuleshov Radicalized younger Israelis against the peace process, which had been ongoing even after Rabin's death. See the Camp David meeting in 2000.
English
I think that this attack, along with Rabin’s assassination probably sealed Israel and Palestine’s fate and condemned the world to this nightmare
Sami Gold@souljagoyteller
Arab voters did not decide this election; what decided the election was the simple fact that, after the shock of Rabin’s murder subsided, most Israelis just did not want to acquiesce land to Arafat

@RatBehaviour @lntuitl0n @Britonomist @_carlbeijer How come the % saying they're doing okay or living comfortably hasn't changed from 2017?
English
@lntuitl0n @Britonomist @_carlbeijer Yes, because it wouldn't feel right to list myself as "just getting by" or worse. I have insurance, I have family I could live with in the worst case. But zero responses to job applications.
Doesn't match the "everyone is actually doing great and is just too online" narrative.
English
My favorite part of the "vibecession" narrative is watching liberals argue that a handful of economic analysts can have a better grasp of consumer welfare than consumers themselves - directly contradicting the liberal argument against central planning
English
@SnakeThatStings @nikicaga Plenty of them identify as Arab Israelis, generally they overwhelmingly do not want to be part of a future Palestinian state. Arab Israelis is fine as a designation. You could say Arab citizens of Israel if you want to be precise.
English
@nikicaga They are Palestianian citizenes of Israel, not Arab Israelis.
English
Tbh Israeli-citizen Arabs really need to lock in and turn out more
I am sure there are various pressures preventing them from voting, but they're well over 20% of the population but the Arab parties got 10.7% of votes (and Arab voters were only ~12.5% of the electorate)
Israel Elects@israel_elects
A Joint List would win a record 16 seats, producing the following bloc distribution: 🔵Netanyahu Bloc: 53 (-3) 🔴Change Bloc: 51 (-3) 🟢Joint List: 16 (+6) changes w. headline poll

@McSmurray @StatisticUrban Their argument is just that the economy is obviously in a better place than it was during the great recession. It can be a weak economy that would have been better without Trump and still better than the great recession. How is this hard to understand?
English
@StatisticUrban Then I’m not sure how you can possibly argue the economy is in a strong place, or why you would waste time nitpicking on the qualia of badness instead of turning inward to refine what you consider “empirical evidence”. The narrative ain’t narrativizing.
English
At the meta level, the vibecession question is simple: either you believe the economy is worse than during the Great Recession, as consumer sentiment implies, despite ~0 empirical evidence to this effect, or you agree that there's a gap between sentiment and material conditions.

@ItsNull69 @NancyMace The primary store of wealth for the old and the rich is property. We should tax it.
English
@NancyMace Nobody should, but boomers are the last generation in need of a break.
English
@TrueSlazac @Kittycel66 No, 300 is an example of a good movie that also has a fashy message. Birth of a Nation is a meandering mess, they just had no good movies in the 1910s so BoN looked good by comparison.
English
They have easily the coolest Confederate monument.
They really did future proof it from ever being removed.

@hellspatisserie Honestly, Trump being in the discourse probably helped the dems in 2022. The further away Trump's first term was the more people forgot about how bad it was.
English
One of the main goals of the Biden administration should have been to find a way to dislodge Trump from the discourse, one way or another, and the admin never even attempted it
sebastian castillo@bartlebytaco
honestly have forgotten biden was even president. it’s basically felt like trump has been president spiritually for a decade

The most racist white you've ever met who tells you to quiet down when explaining your own issues with the Faustian world

@tszzl @LinkofSunshine Especially for early and mid 1800s, many of your kids are gonna die young. Also treatment for most diseases is absurdly shitty, no antibiotics for the whole century. If you get a mental illness the best treatment is taking baths and eating graham crackers.

I would quite literally rather be a 400k office worker in a 9-5 at meta than a 1800s European noble
ₕₐₘₚₜₒₙ@hamptonism
This might be a hot take but I know someone at meta who makes $400k a year and is quite literally capped at that number for life - likely will never get a promotion strong enough to change that. 9-5 until they’re what, 50? This is not living. No matter the salary.

@voiceofgeraldo I mean they named that Netflix series "The People vs. OJ Simpson" for a reason. It goes hard.

When I was on a criminal trial jury it was “the people of the state of California v. (name of defendant)” which rules
Unfunny@unfunnymeat
court cases being called [blank] vs. [blank] is one of the hardest choices our political system has made

@polynoamial not even to generate augmented data?

Today, we’re sharing that a general-purpose internal @openai model achieved a breakthrough on one of the best-known combinatorial geometry problems. Less than 1 year ago frontier AI models were at IMO gold-level performance. I expect this pace of progress to continue.
OpenAI@OpenAI
Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids. An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better. This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

@nise_yoshimi Sure, it wasn't completely bonkers, though Hitler really should have given it more thought than he did. Could have potentially delayed/complicated US entry into the European theater.
English
@RealDukakisism Tooze does a good job explaining how declaring war on the US was at least somewhat rational given the strategic situation Germany was in
English
Tooze is really good at portraying just how fucked Germany was. No wonder there were German industrialists shooting themselves
English
@nise_yoshimi And then suddenly Japan goes apeshit and attacks America, and Hitler insta-declares war on the biggest industrial power in the world without a second thought because he thinks they're soft and too far away to worry about. I'd rope on the spot ngl.
English
imagine fucking with this. The most ruthless and brutal developmental system in human history and you're a bunch of nationalists running the ruin of Weimar Germany with some fascism taped on top and you have decided to start a war with that system

@DonutsIsOP @LinkofSunshine @CrackTh3Skye LIRR employees commit massive OT fraud to get there

This but completely unironically
You can get a job for the government punching tickets all day and make more than congressmen
Rep. Jack Kimble@RepJackKimble
Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.
