Claremont Institute is likely part of it, or people and groups associated with Claremont.

It has happened before, there’s already a variety of sanctions on China.

Kind of the opposite of a lynch mob since they were trying to free the 9 IDF soldiers arrested for raping and torturing prisoners instead of attempting to punish them. I would call this more an attempted prison break, or possibly even a sort of coup against the rule of law by elements of the Israeli government, if its true those ministers were involved.

The Economist does not typically list individual authors on their articles.

Wow, from the article you linked here’s one of them plotting to wield a fascist mob against a journalist just like a proper villain, in case there were any doubts:

“If things get hot, it may be interesting to sic the Dark Enlightenment audience on a single vulnerable hostile reporter to dox them and turn them inside out with hostile reporting sent to *their* advertisers/friends/contacts,” Mr. Srinivasan said in an email viewed by The New York Times, using a term, “Dark Enlightenment,” that was synonymous with the neoreactionary movement.

Y Combinator seems like a nexus of creepy and unhinged techbros, I’m not surprised they have a CEO who wields antisemitic conspiracy theories against his critics.

It’s been awhile but from what I remember I must have made it more than a month but less than three months. Side effects were I felt bloated, pissed off, sweaty, regularly thought I needed to piss but then didn’t/couldn’t, had terrible insomnia and nightmares, nausea, erectile dysfunction, and generally felt like I was being poisoned. Of all the drugs my shrink had me try it was the absolute worst.

It works great for some but for me it’s one of the worst drugs I’ve ever tried. I made it a few weeks before I gave up on it. The side effects were terrible, I felt like shit until it cleared my system. I didn’t notice any benefits from it.

Kagi has a “Fediverse Forums” lens.

The US military has a massive global logistics operation and spends their time training for doing things like this. Of any organization on earth they probably have the greatest capacity for building a floating pier and ensuring aid flows through it. Why are you so hung up on the logistics of building material deliveries?

The US military is building the floating pier with materials they get from the US taxpayer. If you’re trying to argue it’s a waste of tax dollars, its not.

Peace in our time!

Yes, Hamas is immoral and does idiotic things from our perspective but it’s a mistake to believe that makes them idiots. They didn’t just stumble into attacking Israel, and they weren’t naive about how Israel would respond.

Hamas are not idiots, the response is exactly what they wanted. A whole new generation of resistance is being bombed into existence now and Israel is alienating its closest allies to do it, for Hamas that’s a victory. They expected Israel to kill a bunch of random civilians in a brutal response to their attack, it’s not a surprise for them.

How is Biden not yanking the chain? You are commenting on an article about Netanyahu bitching about Biden telling him he must allow a Palestinian state. Diplomacy and international relations and all of that mostly moves kind of slowly for a bunch of reasons, it’s not like the movies, but there’s a very obvious and public rupture between Netanyahu and Biden at this point. Stopping funding is way down on the list of responses, and it’s very unlikely to escalate to that even being threatened in public.

Yes? There’s a huge amount of inertia in US-Israeli relations but it’s very clear at this point that Biden is yanking the leash and trying to reel Netanyahu into a path towards peace. They aren’t going to stop supplying weapons any time soon (if ever), the first step would be explicit restrictions on what the weapons could be used for, and we’re still a very long ways from that being considered publicly.

Windows 11 is kind of technically still just Windows 10 under the hood.

That does seem very suspect. Maybe it’s adjusted for miles driven? Even though less driving happened, per mile driven the rate still increased.

They run the internet now so they really know how it works.

The US certainly has a long history of doing terrible shit but the facts are really clear here. Iranian proxy forces are trying to sink civilian ships. There’s not any moral ambiguity about those actions, civilian ships are not legitimate targets. You can’t go around trying to blow up everything in a major shipping lane and then not expect a substantive response. Claiming the US is at fault for reacting to this escalation from the Houthis, or that Iran has any kind of moral superiority when it too has a long history of doing terrible shit (and its proxy forces are actively engaged in terrorist attacks against civilian ships), just does not make sense. It feels like maybe your hatred of the US is clouding your assessment of the situation.
