Bluesky gaza dialogue before election: We need to threaten the dems to get them to stop sending weapons to Israel. Bluesky Gaza conversation after election: can this one guy in Gaza please have some money so his family might survive.

Just caught up on x-men ‘97 and it’s crazy how the mutants founded their own nation to escape persecution in their countries’ of origin only to be ruthlessly attacked by the same forces that threatened their lives originally.

There’s a lot of back and forth about the Columbia protests, and it makes me think about when trans refugee activists interrupted Obama during an event. Liberals were sympathetic but they said it wasn’t the time or the place.

I tried to imagine how I would have felt if it had been anti war activists interrupting W to protest Iraq, and I would have thought it absolutely was the time and the place. Point being people only support the right ton protest for issues they care about.

Watching masters of the air finally and it’s very strange. Everyone in band of brothers looked like some dude who’d be a dad after the war, but in masters of the air they cast Austin butler, the most attractive man alive. He’s too attractive! It’s weird!

My dad: it really bothers me that these protesters would label me as some evil Zionist when I’m not even that pro- israel Me: dad, when I was growing up you told me if the Palestinians had the means they’d kill every Jew in Israel Dad: yes? That’s not Zionist that’s just an objective fact

Really enjoying Unclear and Present danger, it’s a podcast with Jamelle Bouie and John Ganz that looks at the political context of 90’s movies. It’s great for me because I saw those movies when I was a kid so I know them well but I was too young to get the politics.

You are up to date.
