  1. Zelenskyy is leading his nation against a determined and immoral aggressor. His people’s fate depend on U.S. largesse. It’s shameful that we as a nation are forcing him to do this, but this is what leadership looks like. He can’t afford to bet the house on Harris.
  2. The most sensible and strategically sound decision Israel could make is to return settlers from the West Bank and unilaterally declare the existence of a Palestinian state inside internationally recognized borders. Hand over the details of what comes next to Arab neighbors, seal the border, and respond with overwhelming force to any attacks emanating from that territory but otherwise wash their hands and walk away.
  3. The indictment dropped and it’s incredible. My favorite part is when Adams tried to fly Turkish Airlines to Easter Island because the Turks were giving him free plane tickets. He made his assistant verify that Turkish had no NYC-Easter Island routes. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25175479-eric-adams-indictment-unsealed
  4. Mike Johnson is a truly demonstrating a profound ability to shrink to the occasion. A deeply unserious man at a deeply serious moment.
  5. The thing is, the Jews were not “resettled” by Western or other powers. The British made Jewish immigration to Mandatory Palestine illegal throughout the war and afterward and even arrested boatloads of Holocaust survivors arriving in Haifa. The Soviets famously refused to allow Jews to go to Israel (this was a persistent bilateral irritant) as any emigration undermined the regime’s image. Virtually all of the WWII-1948 immigration was illegal and done at a time when Britain was reeling on all fronts and had little capacity to manage migrant flows in the Levant. In the immediate decade after independence almost as many Arab/Muslim world Jews resettled in Israel as European-origin Jews in one of the great own-goals of Arab nationalism. Arab governments were so mad at Israel that they expelled their own Jews who immediately went to Israel and made it stronger (and, it should be noted, tend to vote more for Likud and right-wing parties than the so-called “colonizers.”)
  6. Livy: “Bobby! It’s an emergency! We have to talk about a hit piece. Just unblock me this one time.” Bobby: “Livy? No, I can’t, you’re just going to send me vagina pics. I can’t have that.” UNK: “No, this time it’s important journalism stuff. Please just unblock me, I promise.” Bobby: ”Got it. Unblocked. Tell me about the hit piece.” Livy: (Vagina Photo) “Bet you wanna hit this piece!! Psych!”
  7. “He was being chased by porn.” “Mark Robinson was also targeted by these flirtatious young reporters, every time he logged into “Nude Africa” and wrote paragraphs about getting peed on.”
  8. Israel just blew up the fucker that did the 1983 Marine Barracks bombing. Fuck that asshole. Fantastic work by the IDF. Reports are the strike was delivered by F-35.
  9. This has to be a bit, no one actually watches and cites Candace Owens.
  10. Bibi has said openly that he wants 60,000 people to return to their homes in the north. If looking for a motivation and end goal, I’d start there and work backwards. It would relieve some domestic tension coming from the fact that he isn’t getting hostages back alive. The goal of a north that is livable and not under rocket fire is one that can be filed under “reasonable, although likely hypocritical given Israel’s behavior in WB.”
  11. It’s good to get the UN on record that Israel is being insufficiently careful with targeting in the way they gave tiny bombs only to terrorists that are then blown up inside their pockets.
  12. It’s an amazing and brilliant inversion of the suicide bomber, who aims to make civilians scared because you never know who might be a terrorist that blows up in a crowd. Instead, you’re making Lebanese terrified that the person THEY KNOW is a terrorist might just blow up. Amazing. And you can defend yourself by not hanging out with terrorists.
  13. The funeral was not targeted, all of the walkie talkies went off at the same time. One happened to be at a funeral. First they took out the primary way of communications. Then they took out the secondary method that was distributed for Hezbollah emergency communications. This was carefully planned. Likely a prelude to something more. It’s not a troll job it is just targeting communications. It’s important to note that only Hezbollah members got the radios.
  14. lol, the IDF is blowing up more stuff, including at a Hezbollah funeral.
  15. lol, do doctors really still use pagers? And if so, please tell me why.
  16. NYT reporting that the devices beeped for a few seconds before going off, and also that there are a lot of eye injuries (because you’re looking at the message). I’d love to know if it said something. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09/17/world/israel-hamas-war-news
  17. To be clear on this, anyone using a pager in 2024 is a terrorist or human trafficker so finding out who supplied these things likely was not a big mystery. Not a big market.
  18. You still need something to explode, that part can’t be hacked. And it looks like a hell of a lot more than a small battery.
  19. It’s super hard to see how any sort of non-physical targeting would result in pagers blowing up like that.
  20. Finally, Meta decides that Russian intelligence doesn’t get to post on Facebook like its news.
  21. Finally, Meta takes actual action.
