God damn.

Antifa means everyone that has clashed with conservatives. When actual neo nazis clash with protestors, the fallout is attributed to antifa, and included as evidence of antifas destruction.

They include Black Lives Matter leaders in their evidence of antifa terrorism.

Seems anyone who significantly opposed anyone related to conservative ideology is antifa, and antifa are terrorists.

He appeared shocked because he's joking about being shocked, which often includes "appearing shocked."

The rules that says foreigners can't be president, also say that a traitor insurrectionist can't be president.

Ah yes, economic anxiety. That's why racism and misogyny.

Around the 6th grade I realized how weird the pledge was, stopped doing it, and never went back to thinking it was normal. Probably because it isn't normal.

I think only one teacher seemed to have a problem and that was because I didn't always sit there perfectly silent while everyone droned their allegiance to my underfunded school's dollar store flag. Fuck me for doing stuff while you guys pray or whatever.

Reading the report makes me feel like I'm from a different planet.

It clearly spells out Israel blocking aid to Gaza. It describes what we all would call blocking aid. If someone did what Israel does, to you, you would call it blocking. Israel blocks aid and the report makes it plain.

Just because they have a different definition of "blocking aid" doesn't mean the report cleared Israel. I don't get it. Can you really just say whatever you want, end it with "but it's not what it sounds like" and that's the takeaway everyone gets?

It's one thing for a document to have arbitrary restrictions on what it can say. That happens. It's another for people to take it so literally.

Edit: I don't even know what definitions they were working with, I just got a "it's not technically..." vibe. But I do know that the report describes blocking aid.

Based on the headline I got the impression that the bible was excluding these two amendments. As in, their absence was jarring in the presence of the other amendments.

The truth is that they left out 17 amendments. Because it's Trump. It's aimed at people who don't care about the Constitution. The customers just want the greatest hits, the big names.

Misleading headline aside, here's what the they actually omitted (aka here's a truth which doesn't leave anything out.)

11. Can't sue a state unless you live there.

12. Structures electing presidents / VPs.

13. Slavery is banned except when it isn't.

14. Born on US soil == you're 'Merican, Harry.

15. Suffrage regardless of race.

16. Taxes.

17. Structures electing senators.

18. Prohibition good!

19. Suffrage regardless of sex.

20. Specifies length for Presidential / VP terms.

21. Prohibition bad!

22. The two term limit for Presidents.

23. Gives D.C. electors.

24. You can vote even if you didn't pay taxes.

25. Formalized the VP succeeding a dead president.

26. Voting age set to 18.

27. That time when Congress took 200 goddamn years to impose a restriction on their salary.

He says there's no antisemitism in his close circles, as if that matters, but it's also a lie because he himself backed a "Jews are trying to replace whites" post on Twitter.

Also, he said he was Jewish by association because he has a lot of Jewish friends. Different brand of ridiculousness from what the headline implies.

Search results are dependant on who is searching. But still:

When you use DuckDuckGo the first result is wikipedia.

When you use Google the first results are corporations.

When you use Bing the first result is a corporation, then Wikipedia.

Brave search gives an AI summary of carbon capture, an investment page, one of the corp pages, and then a breakdown on why 'carbon capture' is a misleading tactic.

Edit: All this to say, maybe stop using Google.

The article draws most of its facts from a tiktok video of a person saying they found X, discovered Y, heard Z from Facebook.

The link that says "businesses team up with bots" links to a tiktok video.

They reinforce the idea that people figured this out because people said it was happening in India, on Facebook.

I wonder if there's any smoking guns?

I don't remember people ever writing cursive like what I was taught growing up. People just self-servingly turbo-scribble some chicken-scratch and call it a day. The kid who can't read our B-movie elvish script isn't the one with literacy issues.

We either write within the ballpark of standardization, or we don't. I think kids should be required to put in as much effort into learning cursive, as people put into actually writing cursive. Which is to say, absolutely none at all.

(Sorry to people who actually write legible, clean cursive. I wish I got to read your output in the wild.)

Journalists being killed almost certainly refers to journalists actively reporting on the war, embedded in units, the ones with passes. They are actively linked to orgs so when they die they're accounted for as a killed journalist.

I think including every single death of a civilian who happened to be a journalist but wasn't working as one would be too literal an interpretation.
