Monopolies turn everything to shit, and
social media are no exception.
Google is bullying its users (this ass-kissing article calls it "gentle pressure") to
replace passwords with "passkeys" linked to a specific device, which would seem to make your accounts accessible to anyone who steals your computer or smartphone.

here.)
"
Gee, I hope the man's fist is OK."
Fairly sure
this is a violation of copyright. Also fairly sure mailing pornography to people who haven't requested it is illegal.
A student group at one German university has
called for "glory holes" to be installed around the campus to make "queer" students feel at home there. This seems to imply they think "queer" people are more comfortable with cold, promiscuous, meaningless sex than with real relationships -- quite an insult, surely.
"
Feedback from angry subscribers" -- yeah, I bet.
Both users and advertisers are
abandoning Twitter.
The
New York Times grudgingly admits that believing Hamas's lies about the al-Ahli hospital incident
probably wasn't a good idea. Why anybody still pays attention to this scurrilous "newspaper" is beyond me.
"Karen" is a sex-specific slur intended to silence women.
The UAW
scores a major win with its new deal with Ford.
Men

the governing body has changed its policy, now making the women's category women-only.
Allies are
dumping BLM after its
endorsement of Hamas's atrocities.

He thinks burning children alive is "
exhilarating". And no, I don't believe his apology for an instant. If he didn't mean it, he wouldn't have said it.
The bronze ghost of one of America's worst traitors
has finally been exorcised.
Republican
divisions over abortion rights are likely to keep the House paralyzed, even with a new speaker.

time to end the madness of large-scale, indiscriminate immigration from Islamic cultures.
RFK Jr
quickly backs down from his support of racist "reparations" after a massive backlash.
There's no sign of large-scale right-wing unrest over the justice system going after Trump, and probably won't be in the future.
The new House speaker Mike Johnson is
a weirdo forced-birther and an
anti-Ukraine-aid religio-wingnut who rejects separation of church and state.
House Democrats
will need to fight hard to pass aid for Ukraine.
Nazi-like hate rhetoric from far-left mobs and splinter groups
risks driving Jewish voters away from the Democrats, even though the party mainstream and leadership are firmly pro-Israel. The White House has
denounced the pro-genocide, anti-Semitic rhetoric of some members of "the squad". Tlaib and Omar, at least, need to be expelled from the Democratic party.
Some Republicans are pushing to
expel George Santos from the House.
Oregon high-school students will
no longer need to show mastery of reading, writing and math in order to graduate -- apparently the state board of education believes that "students of color" can't meet the same standards as white students. Isn't that racist?
Liz Cheney
shows moral clarity on Hamas and the corruption of the Republican party.
Identity-based thinking
is very dangerous.
The new Nazis
launched their campaign of evil before the blood was even dry.

The "residence hall leaders" behind
this outrageous display of Jew-hatred need to be expelled and blacklisted, not just reprimanded.

weren't paying attention to the mess in the House.

freedom of speech is being seriously eroded (link from commenter NickM).
The man who assaulted Kellie-Jay Keen with tomato juice
will stand trial (note: "Aotearoa" is woketardian for "New Zealand").
French Jews now fear the pro-pogrom hard left more than the far right --
creating a political opportunity for the latter.
France's president Macron calls for an
international coalition against Hamas, like that which defeated Dâ'ish (ISIL).
The explosion of anti-Semitism in Europe is
leading Jews to question whether they have a future there -- but most of the hatred seems to be coming from the Muslim minority, not from indigenous Europeans.
In Poland, the proportion of the population identifying as Catholic
has fallen from 88% a decade ago to 71% now. All other religions are tiny in numbers.
ATACMS in Ukraine
are proving more effective than first thought. Russian video propagandists supposedly showing them failing had misinterpreted what they were seeing.
Russia's latest offensive in Ukraine used
trucks almost a century old. The invaders
haven't learned anything from their earlier defeats.
Abortion is still legal in Russia, but it is
under concerted attack from forced-birthers as the regime becomes more explicitly Christianist.
A number of
international crises are coming to a head all at once.
Israelis are
buying guns in unprecedented numbers, and the Israeli government has loosened gun permit rules to facilitate this. Certainly if most of the residents of southern Israel had had guns ready to hand on October 7, hundreds of lives could have been saved.
Israel must
stop the disastrous practice of yielding to Western pressure to limit retaliation against jihadists. To understand why restraint or negotiation is pointless and suicidal, see
Hamas's founding documents.
Hamas continues
cozying up to Putin. But they're also starting to
wail for help.
Thirty-two Americans were killed in the October 7 attack (found via
Hackwhackers).
The Israeli government has
shown journalists and experts unedited video of Hamas's atrocities, imagery deemed too horrific to be released publicly. Really, though, this whole approach is a mistake.
All of the evidence, no matter how ghastly, should be released publicly and spread around as widely as possible. The world needs to see the full reality of what happened, and the faces of the vermin in the West who are both-sidesing and yes-butting this conflict need to be
rammed into the massive pile of shit they're
de facto defending. And as with the Holocaust, the evidence needs to be out there to
refute the inevitable filthy liars who will claim it didn't happen.
Israel has
killed one of the Hamas leaders who planned the October 7 mass murder.
Here's
one of the hostages being held by Hamas.
Is the Gaza Strip
running out of fuel? The Western media will never
hold Hamas accountable.
Not all civilians are innocent.
The
worst enemy of the Palestinians is -- Hamas.
Islamist "scholars" are
openly calling for the world-wide annihilation of Jews.
The West must not allow outsiders to
resupply Hamas terrorists.
Saudi Arabia apparently
intercepted a missile aimed at Israel, and is open to continuing
normalization of relations with Israel after the Gaza war is over.
Many of India's Muslims are siding with Hamas,
straining their relations with the rest of India, which has also suffered extensively from Islamist terror attacks over the years.
Women in Kenya
join together to fight female genital mutilation.
