"Israel is the Olivia Soprano of countries" SENT me

2025-02-07 03:31:33 +0000 UTCDaniel, if you're reading this: I know that you own "The Nightfly" by Don Fagen, so I think that it's completely unacceptable that, on an episode titled "Am Yisrael A.I." you did not choose "I.G.Y" as your What's the Spin. With a line like "Trust machines to make big decisions, program my fellows with compassion and vision; we'll be free when their work is done; we'll be eternally free and eternally young" -- I mean, come on guys. Get your act together. That being said, I am and will continue to happily eat the slop.

2025-02-04 07:53:17 +0000 UTCI don't know what sexual misdemeanours or other cruel attitudes RFK Jr is accused of but that has nothing to do with expressing opinions on the question of medicine. You don't have to agree with those opinions, but he is entitled to his opinions.

2025-02-03 22:51:19 +0000 UTCRFK Jr is a deeply unpleasant human being. Not only has he spent decades promoting anti-vax conspiracy theories he is a sex pest and the perpetrator of multiple sexual assaults, including against his children’s babysitter. That should probably include an “alleged” except the only defence he offered was to say he has a lot of skeletons in his closet. He is known for sharing nudes of the women he sleeps with among his buddies. He was very cruel to his ex-wife, cheating on her - then letting her know, denying her access to her children, suing her brother for possession of her body after she killed herself. He also has a pattern of animal cruelty and neglect despite his love of animals being the most admirable side of his personality.

2025-02-03 04:43:43 +0000 UTCCan you post a link to the pamphlet telling Palestinians not to have joy when their hostages are released? Wanna share it with some people

2025-02-01 17:32:14 +0000 UTCBy the way, her outlook on joy as an act of resistance is WOW. Yessssss!!! I live in a largish town (by Irish standards) where we hold a weekly vigil for Palestine since October '23. One of my comrades read "Still I Rise" that Daniel quoted from at the beginning of the show at one our vigils one week to highlight exactly this point. If you can imagine this poem read in an Irish accent by a tiny, pasty Irish nurse (but an absolute force of nature despite her stature ) on an overcast Irish day to other pasty onlookers going about their business, you'll realise we channelled Palestinian humour and joy that day as as an act of our own tiny resistance in their name. In our millions, in our billions....

2025-01-31 11:43:34 +0000 UTCI hope he sues them off the face of the earth for the damage these mofo pharma companies have caused. They shouldn't even be allowed to register or be in business ever again.

2025-01-31 06:59:25 +0000 UTCNaww I like rfk, he sounded like he had a cold and was blowing his nose a bit. I feel like the hearing was so rude. They know he doesn't have a strong voice and they were screeching and screaming over the top of him and wouldn't let him speak. I got so angry listening to these corrupt assholes like Elizabeth Warren banging on about trying to make him promise not to sue the pharma companies during and 4 years after his position to earn money when that mole has taken millions from pharma for letting them lead her around by the dick to say what they want her to say or push. Your government over there makes me as mad as my government here in oz
