Is there an echo in here?

well I'm pretty sure they're dropping US (made or funded) weapons, so we're already in for a penny in for a pound with Israel

Also just finished this one. Well worth the price of admission for the folks on this thread. A very good one volume treatment on how Argentina came to be, who its people are, the government they have and why it is...the way it is. https://www.amazon.com/Brief-History-Argentina-Spanish/dp/9507426582/ref=sr_1_3?crid=R5S2CQKY99ZV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Vs4cgloU_AUXyxrA2CTWxtovvPXhrOq5rfuYncWyNPPtVtDGjZhF_NrT0W-8CbfXP-Z7bGWcf2E_1L59aBdcLQukczlAeIx_MK6g27F6-KIImB4AIVc_gTu1pqYnKo1Wl_36TfCspGo6WxIV2wIVaCGKKt5ecmO7XfofZUZrS8FBfpbkvSJu2RUYx71jgYYB0ZHBbOxOfXu0xjdGX5aHNmEFRGwJ9YF3gqHZoZHGq_g._v8wjkBRC2t-Aut-aRw8SwsWQX5UACFQraiBGhyDeXs&dib_tag=se&keywords=a+brief+history+of+argentina&qid=1757433797&sprefix=a+brief+history+of+argentina%2Caps%2C119&sr=8-3

I think a key structural difference you're overlooking is that TV is one-way communication. There's no realtime feedback loop from watcher to TV station, where because you watched one show they start pushing more of that show to you. Today, nearly EVERYTHING is algorithmically driven. Facebook and Twitter will show you ragebait to make you engage more, and then in turn use your posts as ragebait for someone else. Youtube sends young men down the radicalization pipeline with glee, because hours and hours and hours of conspiracy drek means massive advertising revenue numbers and a thriving market. And as a bonus, it comes with a free echo chamber where you aren't even exposed to different ideas except for the express purpose of upsetting you.

Good post. And I definitely agree that we are in an era of "my authoritarianism is better than your authoritarianism" rather than "the neutral Rule of Law and protecting human freedoms are better than authoritarianism." For a dwindling number of us, we don't see goose-stepping authoritarians in snappy Hugo Boss uniforms as an improvement over (real or imagined) goose-stepping authoritarians with red stars on their hats. For those of us "On Liberty" types, this is NOT our era.

Texas Football 2025 - Playing With Our Food

Thank you for saying what I said but in a different manner and more words -
The larger point is that we told him to hit the road because of a shit ton of off the field BS . . . we didn't lose him to Syracuse like KittyBaby said

Are we supposed to turn toward Mar-A-Lago and do it several times a day?

Stroh 89 snaps Neto: 22 snaps Kibble- 10 snaps (72.6 grade, 73.7 pass/72.1 run) Neto is getting 11 snaps a game, so that is not a lot of snaps. He may look bad with a 40+ a game. Kibble only has 10. It is not up to me, but I would be giving more snaps to Neto and Kibble the next 2 games. I do not know who the best option is currently. All I know is Stroh has struggled mightily and having an open competition here vs the next 2 tomato cans seems reasonable. At worst you are setting a culture of accountability

Car Accident Insurance Action
luke duke replied to BlueGreySky's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
What kind of NW are we looking at to be insured by them? Will my Beanie Baby and Dale Earnhardt commemorative plate collections be taken into consideration? -
I just think they would have done it that day regardless of what happened in Jerusalem. They were clearly intending to hit that specific meeting. Qatar maybe just allowed it, who knows. We for sure knew ahead of time. Yeah I read what he said, I'm just not sure it's the truth. The attack provided probably more cover for the op than they were expecting, but I would bet my money on it being planned and executed regardless.
-
That's a significant portion of Tech fans, as well. Hotel rooms on game weekends are a beating too, especially this late in the process.

BBC. Netanyahu says attack was in response to 7 October and Jerusalem shootingpublished at 10:20 10:20 A joint statement from Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister Israel Katz says that in the wake of attacks in Jerusalem and Gaza, the Israeli prime minister ordered his security agencies to prepare to target the Hamas leadership. It says that this afternoon presented an operational opportunity and, with the full backing of Israel's defence leaders, the pair jointly decided to green-light the attack. It adds that the IDF and Shin Bet were informed of the plans for the attack last night. The statement continues that Netanyahu and Katz believe the attack was justified due to the Hamas leadership being behind the 7 October 2023 attack and the shooting in Jerusalem yesterday. Earlier today, Hamas claimed responsibility for the shooting, which killed six Israelis and left several other wounded.

Hope he does, but in a much larger sample size he caught about 15 passes in two years.

Why is the younger generation so intolerant?

I’d argue that the current of thought among the right-wing is idealistic and utopian. It’s a question of who the intended utopia is for; but these ideas are meant to usher in a bright future of plenty and peace for the “right” people. There’s no iron law that says dissatisfied youth will glom onto a progressive cause; much of the tumult in the Muslim world in past decades was young students reacting against the perceived defects of secular and liberalizing governments in favor of a retrograde Islam promising perfect truth and justice to the faithful. There’s been decades in the West where liberal democratic values and ideals of equality, tolerance, and individual rights have been on the march. Young people who feel like the system isn’t delivering are reacting to dismantle those structures. What’s really new is that today’s far-right views the “ground rules” of society as illegitimate in the same vein you’ve ordinarily heard from the far left. The proposed replacement they come up with is of course radically different. There are fewer and fewer people who see things like free speech and freedom of conscience as inherently good and needed. -
They do some good legal work representing people who need it, but their public issue advocacy is just right wing propaganda dressed up to look like an actual ideological commitment to free speech.

This strike was planned, sure. But was it the catalyst? Also, IAF had to fly real close to some US bases no matter what route they took and we should have had AWACs up. Plus our Navy. Was this quietly allowed by the Arab states? Qatar has a pretty modern air force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_Emiri_Air_Force

I noticed this too when scrolling through their database. They also treat equally a single student complaint that led to no action with a student complaint that led to a professor's dismissal. That's like saying a random tweet is as harmful as legislation passed and enforced.

Cook was Syracuse's leading receiver against Tennessee. The young man might just be turning his life around and live up to his potential.
