I was thinking about Khashoggi, but fair point.

I mean, the Saudis did it a few years ago and we really didn’t raise much of a stink.
Tangentially related. I watched a pretty interesting documentary many years ago about avant-garde art in Weimar Germany. Back in the days of the kaiser and before, if you painted a horse it damn well better look like a horse. During the third reich, if you painted a horse it damn well better have hitler on it. But during the interwar years there was quite an explosion of weird shit from the German art community.
Then, of course, the war happened and all that shit ended, just like it’s happening in Russia now. Not that America did much better back then. Frank Capra was directing WWII propaganda films and Bugs Bunny was flying a B-29.
This is what I keep trying to tell people about this war. There are no good guys. There is no right side of history to be on.
There are sides. And people are perfectly welcome and justified to take a side. But you have to understand that whichever side you take, they have done terrible things to innocent people for terrible reasons.
Argument is correct.
Tone is asshole.
Upvote or downvote? I’m not sure on this one.
Bikes are popular in Seattle, but I’m not sure I’d call it a bike-friendly city. Tons of rain, tons of hills, tons of bridges, tons of crappy roads. We put bike lanes in a bunch of places, but a lot of them still have to go through confusing intersections or only cover part of your commute. Add on the new trend of no-hands driving, it’s still pretty dangerous.
My coworkers say that I’ve got resting murder face. When I’m just zoning out not paying attention to anything, I apparently look like I’m actively searching for something rusty to stab you with.
That might be more than wishful thinking. Gantz has personally overseen the invasion of Gaza twice, and he joined the war cabinet right after 10/7. He is definitely no friend to Gaza.
Calling him a centrist is only true in that he’s slightly left of Bibi, which is saying nothing.
We had a tiny chance when Obama and Rouhani were talking. Hell, at one point we had a treaty. There was a road map and some hope.
Then Trump fucked it all up for no reason, along with all the other shit he pulled.
I’d at it’s more 'there are two regional powers here, Israel and Iran. The more aid we give Israel the easier it makes Iran"
Edit: weaker* it makes Iran
Fucking autocorrect.
How many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
One. Because Germans are efficient and lack humor.
Bro you can just say that you don’t like brown people.
Sadly that one’s a Democrat.
Does that mean I’m rich or just lactose intolerant?
I dunno. They’ve amassed 90% of their population along the US border.
Judging by the sketchy-ass places I’ve gotten gyros from, I’m perfectly willing to die for a gyro.
Do you know what NATO nicknamed the defense plan during the cold war? The Rainbow Plan.
I mean, you’re guaranteed to end up with a bad rep. Decent chance you’ll end up with a bad RAP.
I can sing the Blazing Saddles theme song pretty decent. Final offer.
