The documentary “NAZA” provides a searing look into the inner-workings of the Israeli military’s operation in Gaza. Academy Award-winning director Yuval Abraham joined me to discuss the film's implications, and the discoveries he made while making it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Q7...

I think if we explained that "atproto" stood for "fuck these guys" the general public would have no trouble understanding it

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

If you're reading this, I successfully migrated my PDS to a two-tiered record store.
