Mamdani on why rape is up in NY: "A lot of it is from expanding what counts as rape"

A lot of the men who crossed into Israel on October 7 made it back home and tried to return to normal life. They went back to their neighborhoods, their families, and whatever passed for a routine. Some of them probably told themselves that the worst was over. After all, they had survived the raid, the fighting, and the initial wave of retaliation. In their minds, time was now on their side. The world would move on, the headlines would fade, and eventually they could just be regular people again. That was the mistake. Israel didn’t treat October 7 like a regular wartime event that eventually gets archived. They treated it like a crime scene with thousands of pieces of evidence and an extremely long memory. While some of these men were busy trying to blend back into civilian life, Israel was busy matching faces from bodycam footage, cross-referencing names from captured phones, and following the trails that came out of interrogations. They weren’t in a rush. They were building files. There’s something almost darkly funny about watching men who participated in that level of barbarism try to go back to being husbands, mechanics, or neighbors, as if the footage of what they did would eventually expire like old milk. They really believed that if they just kept their heads down long enough, the whole thing would become yesterday’s news. It didn’t. Israel kept the receipts. And unlike most governments, they’ve shown zero interest in letting the statute of limitations run out on mass murder and rape. The slow, steady announcements of individual deaths aren’t random. They’re the result of patient, methodical work on men who made the critical error of assuming they could commit atrocities and then simply return to ordinary life like nothing happened. Some mistakes don’t get smaller with time. They just get documented. (article below)

They told us it was never antisemitism. They said it was about Israel's war, aggression, and innocent lives. So now Iran strikes seven Muslim Arab countries. Children die. Women bleed. Hospitals are targeted. And behold, the streets are silent. No tents on campuses. No roaring crowds. No Parliament in endless mourning. No theatrical recognition of a state. Not even the usual prophets of outrage. And so we ask, with sorrow rather than surprise: was it ever truly about the dead? Or have you become prisoners of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic regime in Iran, their proxies whispering in the West? If you are still there, blink twice. We may yet come to rescue you.

PALMER LUCKEY: “PATENTS ARE CHINESE INSTRUCTION MANUALS.” “STOP PATENTING EVERYTHING. THE FOUNDING FATHERS NEVER PREDICTED A WORLD WHERE THE ENTIRE PATENT OFFICE COULD BE DOWNLOADED EVERY MORNING, RIPPED OFF, AND USED TO FIGHT A WAR AGAINST YOU.” “WE NEED TO FUNDAMENTALLY REVISIT THE PATENT SYSTEM.” “I THINK WE NEED TO MASSIVELY EXPAND THE NATIONAL SECURITY PATENT PROCESS. YOU CAN OBTAIN A CLASSIFIED PATENT THAT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DISCLOSE TO ANYONE... WHILE STILL MAINTAINING EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS.” “WE NEED TO MASSIVELY EXPAND THAT PROGRAM.”

Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “The political structures that we are surrounded by were built on slavery and genocide and oppression. Look at this room, motherf******. We aren’t going anywhere. Now we’re in Congress and every corner of the United States.”

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), appearing overall outwardly healthy, spoke to reporters yesterday in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, expressing support for the White House’s decision to impose tougher sanctions on Russia. Roughly 24 hours later, he was dead from sudden cardiac arrest at his home in Washington.

Sneako accidentally posted the AI instructions he used to generate a tweet, including the part where he told it to “optimize for more shock factor.” Then he deleted it. You genuinely cannot make this stuff up. 😂
