Re: Israel/Palestine

Where is that line drawn, then? Russia claims Ukrainian territory by force, and we fault Russia for doing so…Israel claims Palestinian territory by force, and we fault the surrounding countries for not recognizing Israel’s existence… This analogy might be valid if Ukraine and all of the other Slavi ...

Re: Israel/Palestine

This analogy might be valid if Ukraine and all of the other Slavic peoples had, repeatedly, declared war on Russia, attacked it in unison, and lost (over and over and over again), leaving Russia in a spot where it felt it needed a security buffer. But since that didn't happen, the analogy is just ...

Re: Israel/Palestine

Performing the dance that allows you to thread the needle of criticizing Bibi, et al, while not finding yourself accused of being antisemitic, is fraught. Perhaps only exceeded by Israel ensuring its existence while nearly surrounded by often hostile countries that don't recognize said existence ...

Guess who the lowest Jayhawk was!?!?

Good ole Mitch!
I didn't watch the whole game - but I saw Mitch touch the ball twice. He turned it over both times.

They really needed Dedric. Anyone know why Dedric/Tyshawn/Rio didn't play?

It really is. Fouling intentionally is so gimmicky, we just put up with it because it's what we know. It's just basketball the whole game this way.

Re: Child sex trafficking

I mean, if Jim Caviezel stopped at that, this wouldn't be so controversial. What you described is basically what Epstein was running. Caviezel was full on QAnon. Hence the context, hence the controversy. I'd rather see less of the QAnon LARPing and more effort at getting to who was actually involved ...

Re: Mass Street TBT

I was pumped when it was Selden, Dotson, Garrett, maybe someone else younger? But yeah, despite them adding possibly my favorite all-time player (Rush), it's a lot less exciting. I think some of that was with the younger guys, they were probably the favorite to win it all. Not so much with the ...

Re: Israel/Palestine

Normally I can't stand performative, meaningless votes by Congress. But I found this meaningful, especially on the Democratic side, where it shows that the ignorant and/or antisemitic ones are the (vocal) minority.

I'd rather the real number declined and that all defense spending was properly audited.
But if the actual number stays the same it is declining. Just like how if you don't get a raise in a year, that's a pay decrease

Re: Dark Star

John Mayer is an absolute guitar god.

Almost annoyingly so. A lot of his songs are him showing off instead of making something that sounds good
