The worst part is that he's almost universally beloved in NYC.

From your article: The implication is that the Israeli government should be getting all this information and either isn't listening to it or is to preoccupied to do anything with it. The article also points out that the Hamas leader isn't in the Rafah region, which begs the question: why is Israel focusing on that area?

We’re you able to see them?

Oh, gotcha. Nonetheless, it looks pretty impressive. I almost wish I had taken my DSLR and tripod with me, but I’m not sure it would have been much better.

Happy Birthday! I’ll put some old school Roosevelt in your EDM thread.

Took this tonight from Glenbrook, on the east shore of Lake Tahoe… That’s Cave Rock to the right.

That’s some good stuff. Seeing it in daylight is an all new look.

Well, that’s partially why I had to go to an 8,911 ft summit to see it. You can see the light pollution from downtown Reno at the bottom. Luckily, there weren’t any clouds at 10pm; there were passing over Lake Tahoe earlier in the day. I imagine a lot of people in the main band that cut across the country didn’t get to see it because of light pollution. We were at least 4-500 miles away from the edges it’s band, which is why a time lapse was needed to catch anything.

Has anyone else seen them?

Thanks! Believe it or not, you can’t really see it with the naked eye. I took it with a time lapse on my phone.

Seen from Mt Rose over Reno….

Marching Band, although I didn’t actually “enroll” in the class portion.

I'll bet he's on here and stealing everyone's jokes, because this place has all the best, smartest comedians on the internet. I don't usually watch, but Jen Psaki was on and ... she's kinda hot.

Stephen Colbert stole your joke.

Nothing here. My coworkers who are also family can overwhelm me with their stupid drama.

Ok, all better. Ima give myself a stroke if I keep this up.

You're going to need to cite sources on these claims. None of that sounds like anything Israel themselves have actually claimed.

Hell, they bombed humanitarian convoys that were nowhere near the combat zone.

At least once, Israel ordered an evacuation and promptly bombed the people where they evacuated to.

Of course you wouldn't. As to the Fani Willis thing, that's equally horrifying and it's even worse that it has the added tinge of racism, as if black women can't have consensual sex without purchasing it. Since I'm already out of my fucking mind, I might as well make the comparison between a respectable and accomplished black woman and porn star because that's essentially what's happening. Watch out, I'm spinning out of control here.

Sorry. I'm a little unhinged right now.

As did I. That's not what I'm reading now in the testimony. That slime bag promised her dinner and then greets her with pajamas instead of food. Then he keeps talking over her even as he pretends to be interested in what she said. And he keeps after her until he ends up in his boxers and a t-shirt and she has sex with him to get out of the situation. That's not consensual, regardless of the legal classification of the act itself.

Once again, Georgia's case is one that Trump, even in power, can't simply make go away. The idea that it would have any bearing on his election chances was always tenuous at best, so the idea that it might be delayed beyond the election is somewhat tangential to greater issue of changing stupid people's minds.

Why? Because the IDF isn't first rounding up civilians and putting them in camps before mass executing them? Look, the problem with the Holocaust (and I mean that in our own understanding of humanity) is that we focus on the veneer of respectability the Nazis put on these murder factories. Hitler didn't create those camps specifically to torture Jews, he (and Himler) did it because that was the most expedient way to the ultimate goal of eliminating a "pest" out of sight from the rest of the world. To this day, there are families that don't know what happened to their loved ones even though it's understood they were murdered. This creates something of a buffer between the specific atrocities of the Nazis and the broad, pervasive antisemitism that pervaded all of Europe from the late Roman through nineteenth century Russia, and it's a specific way Europeans and Americans disassociate themselves from similar behavior. Comparing Gaza to the Holocaust isn't about comparing tactics or even intent, it's about comparing the dehumanization process that leads to these atrocities. It's really easy for a white person like you to see the Holocaust and compartmentalize it as a case study on how hate can lead to horror. Meanwhile, you're not acknowledging that little acts you see around you contributed to that hate and are doing so even today. If you did, then you would see the parallels - simple explanations like "Hamas has taken over the good Palestinians," or "There are going to be collateral deaths if we want to be safe," - in similar rationals that existed in Germany well before Hitler came to power. The process of dehumanization is paved with such acts, like treating people as pawns in a larger esoteric war on ideology. It also presages other acts of atrocity by terrorists, using that dehumanization as justification to dehumanize their victims.
