In advance of the event, more than two dozen Palestinian journalists published a letter calling for their colleagues to boycott the gala, accusing the Biden administration of being complicit in Israel’s systematic killing of media workers in Gaza. Sandra Tamari, executive director of Adalah Justice Project, a US-based Palestinian advocacy group that helped organise the letter from journalists in Gaza, said, “It is shameful for the media to dine and laugh with President Biden while he enables the Israeli devastation and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.”

Aren't you the blog who had their garbage can swapped

you may find this hard to believe but that really did happen to me. when the city replaced it they gave us a new one that had a big red sticker on top that said DO NOT STEAL

watching a stardew speedrun video and for b roll (it was a six-year speedrun) they're just using shots of the player character sitting in a chair in various locations, on the beach, in the mountains, with a slow zoom added in postprod. staring directly at the camera like he's the one narrating the video about savescumming the game he's in. this is what wes anderson was trying to do with asteroid city

it is painful to watch someone face the truth and turn away from it. that doesn't quite capture what i mean. there is a lot of pressure to believe a story that makes the united states moral. it's not a believable story and it never has been: it doesn't need to be. it needs to provide an escape hatch. and it's painful to watch people correctly perceive aspects of this problem, and, almost like without having made a conscious decision at all, reject them for a noticeably inferior explanation, simply because it feels better to believe. buffeted by the tides

how does the state have any legitimacy left. supreme court justices arguing over the presidential immunity of roosevelt and kennedy, who could not have been prosecuted post-presidency because they died in office, whether setting precedent for presidential immunity will intefere in our ability to like, do a coup on fidel castro, or how to effectively prevent an immune president from assassinating a political rival as an official act. meanwhile, the biden administration has shipped a dock across the closed roads to gaza for PR so that continuing to congressionally allocate billions of dollars of war profiteering does not make them look like they approve of genocide. nobody seems to be aware there's a long historical tradition of photographs of student protesters brutalized by police being the cause of an uprising out of outrage. we fucked around, found out, banned tiktok in the house, the senate, and by presidential signature just to try to pressure bytedance to sell it to a nonchinese holding company, and they said "no, we'd like to see how you're going to administrate this" exactly like i predicted three weeks ago. they can't govern using a method other than budget reconciliation genuinely how are they going to ban an APK. i've been saying it for years but we need to take nuclear silos out of the hands of these maniacs before this shambolic wreck wholly collapses. we can't even have post offices, hospitals, or pandemic response without running them into the ground for profit

anyway, if you have kids, save a deathbed confession for them or something. maybe it sounds stupid but that was disappointing. it turns out everything has been pretty much what it seems all my life? what gives. man. like if you're not going to confess to a murder at least make one up. literally a victimless crime

when you get halfway through audio production, you get a popup dialogue that allows you to choose your path, whether you will try to pirate old software, or recreate the sound from scratch. but you must remember the producer's creed: "oh i am not paying for that" and the other, lesser known producer's creed "i am not paying $99 on sale either. you can't fool me"

sadly, no :( this is a common misconception but humans actually cannot digest time! due to the geometry of 3+1 spacetime it's physically impossible to form any temporal tracts or organs

there's this interesting pair of opposing phenomena in the news where the price of bitcoin is at or near an all time high (itself an odd thing to do, usually they try to rocket past previous highs, not match them and then just sit there at approximately the same price for a few weeks) while tesla stock is down from its all time high by 30%. if you recall, tesla is the only company that has converted as much as $1.5 billion of its corporate ledger to bitcoin. unclear if the crypto is propping up the value of the car stock which would otherwise be careening further downwards, or some other thing, though. and if i'm being honest, i think the purpose of this is simply to obfuscate how much cash they have on hand in relation to their market cap. like, is bitcoin part of the M2 money supply or not? do accountants know that yet? something is brewing, in any case, in the same way i would say "something is brewing" if somebody left a bunch of gorillas unattended in a brewery. they do have the tools at hand to cause some kind of explosion, i'm saying

there's a process-of-becoming-real to grief that's like easy to explain or conceptualize but impossible to understand until you've been going through it. one by one, a procession of reveries, cataloguing each of the shared experiences which are now gone. you can easily imagine it, but it changes when it becomes real. there's not an amount of foresight that can tell you the difference in advance, "this may be how i will feel when it happens" vs the actual real feelings when it does
