Don’t be a bad guy...
When I hear the term “Jewish state” I cringe. Like it or not, the term feels like the white supremacist notion of an ethnostate and is counter to anything resembling the idea of a democracy. Using the term “Jewish state” sets up a semantic muddle that makes it difficult for non-Jews to be clear about the country’s intentions. Are they interested in democracy? Or are they interested in an exclusionary state based on religious belief? My cultural experience with the 1st amendment gives me pause.

When someone uses the Bible to prove a point...they don’t.
Someday I will live in a religion blind society. A place where I will be assessed by the content of my character, not by the beliefs that may or may not be foundational to my character.
Sometimes, when I’ve had my glaucoma medication, I consider the weirdness of a thousand humans sitting in proper rows and efficient waiting lines cradled and crammed by the relative security of science.
I used to worry about artificial intelligence destroying civilization but I’m not worried anymore since we can buy our way out of it with bitcoin. Whew! 😰
There’s only one conspiracy America needs to worry about.

For the foreseeable future, it appears that drones are becoming a reliable offensive tool against asymmetrical power. Heads up folks!
Finally! I’m a millionaire!!
Since 1966 I’ve been receiving $0.05 for every time an Israeli or Palestinian leader has vowed “revenge”. Beats working for a living.

Other than flawed tax policy, is there a reason billionaires exist?
So nice to see Americas tech titans meeting yesterday with DC politicians regarding the dire, awful, really bad possible collapse of civilization due to of artificial intelligence.
When do you suppose Americas fossil fuel titans will be in Washington to discuss the dire, awful, really bad possible collapse of civilization due to fossil fuels?🤔

The scary part is that I know many (smart) people who "just aren't into politics" and therefore don't keep up with current events in any detail.
Their blurry understanding includes two things: (1) "the Democrats" impeached Trump, and now (2) "the Republicans" want to impeach Biden.
If someone's not really paying attention, and doesn't actually realize the titanic difference between these two cases, it is very easy to lazily conclude false equivalence. And that could spell doom for the US.
Hey MSNBC! (as if my grievance would be entertained) There has not been a single primary vote. There has not been a single minute of Trump before a jury of his peers. THE ELECTION IS NOT FOR FOURTEEN, (>>F O U R T E E N<<) EEF’ing months!!! Please stop spending your 24/7 airtime discussing, analyzing, endlessly parsing and mapping election polls. Please.

Another great piece by @rvawonk demonstrating how “rage farming” triggers social media user engagement, which in turn maximizes the spread of mis/disinformation and profits for propagandists. To combat rage farming, stop engaging with rage-inducing content online.

In America, we don’t have Democratic indictments or Republican indictments!
In America we have CRIMINAL indictments!
