on the contrary, many Americans (some here in this very thread even) not only understand what we have but also what the costs are, were, and continue to be!

 

Every time someone tells me that I remember how a few years ago some guy in my building spent 3 days with no light in his apartment because he didn't know how to change the light bulb and the landlord was not around.

 

BTW the IDF is about to go into Gaza through the ground. It's going to be a very tough few days once that happens, hundreds of casualties on both sides.

 

Here in America, I worked for a city where an apartment complex's faceless hedge fund landlord company vacated their property management company to cut costs and for 8 months the residents were without warm water, had raw sewage leaking through the bottom two floors, had a busted fire alarm system they refused to fix.

So we have real issues here too.

 

a huge amount of lies about this

 

My point was about the “messed up stuff!” that OP was talking about in relation to Palestine. Not Russia.

 

okay. sorry if I mistakenly quoted your post.

 

Nayirah 2.0

 

Mia Khalifa has made a living (and has been exploited) by catering to the white male fetishization of arabs and muslim women and comes from a Lebanese Christian family, whose father was part of the Israeli allied Phalangists during the Lebanon Civil war.

Good pod

 

Whitmer had to walk back about the most milquetoast statement ever on the situation, its fucking ridiculous that she faced blowback for this of all statements.

 

this is an insane development, the guy who loved to travel to the worst place to possibly travel at a given time who went to Afghanistan during the withdrawal and was captured by the Taliban who then took over his twitter account and tweeted stuff like “Miles is having a lot playing xbox and being fed by his servants, the guards all like him and think he’s a goofy funny guy. he’s basically chilling” is alive

 

he was like “i must go to Palestine” and they were like got u king

 

lmao

THat is insane. I vaguely remember that getting reported on when it happened

 

Twitter is insufferable right now.

 

This might finally break me of it, but I really need another aggregator like it for news and sports and music. Bluesky just isn't quite there yet. I really need to make a Threads

 

Feels good to be free of it.

 

When is it not?

 

If I ever see her on my block again imma have some words

 

The amount of stuff that is posted on Twitter that is straight up lies or stuff that is labeled as "propaganda" and turns out true right now is just astonishing. Nothing you can read about it will change what happened or about to happen there in the next few days, maybe even months.

Thousands of people are dead and thousands more are about to and people out there arguing if the babies that died were decapitated or not.

I wish I had the energy to not care and just drown myself in work or just take my dog and drive somewhere but it's hard when there are people I care about that are caught in the crossfire. My wife is coming back tomorrow from a few days trip so I will finally have the distraction I need.
