Full List of Public Figures Defending Susan Sarandon [Nov 22 2023 | Billie Schwab Dun | Newsweek]

Nothing that any sane, educated human would view as antisemitic. Anti-Netanyahu, sure. Anti war-crimes, yes. Pro hamas, no. Pro peace, yes

This is not an anti-jewish stance at all.

Zelensky: I heard it from Putin

Reply in thread

Trump is demanding mineral resources as well as forfeiture of the 20% of Ukrainian territory currently occupied by Russia in exchange for enacting some unspecified plan to get Russia to stop invading Ukraine.

Zelenski said sure, but he needs a security guarantee that if Russia continues invading Ukrainian territory the US will help defend Ukraine. This very reasonable

Trump refuses to offer that guarantee and offers no details on any plan to keep Putin from invading further.

From Zelenski's perspective this is the US stealing his country's mineral wealth for a Trump handshake, which is completely meaningless. It's a bad deal and is unlikely to help the people of Ukraine

Alaska's snow crab season canceled for second year in a row as population fails to rebound

I hope folks hear this.

Our food system is begining to fail. How do we get this out like we kinda did the bees.

We need to tie those together.

And the mosquitoes and malaria/dangue.

Stuff that effects folks directly... Plague and famine

But we gotta keep doomerism and cults-of-death-for-some-greater-afterlife at bay.

There's opportunity abound, we just gotta grab it. Green new deal stuff.

Tesla Seeks to Revive Musk’s $47 Billion Pay Deal After Judge Says No

I cant wait for the shareholders to say no.

He plundered the stock to buy twitter and is back asking for even more... What a dickhead

56 billion from a company that made $15 billion last year (a big record). He wants 3.73 times the entire ducking company's net on their highest year ever's income.

...just did the math. Tesla has netted 27.1 billion since 2011.

He wants a little more than DOUBLE the total cumulative earnings of the whole company;.

I hope he gets the boot. The company will be better off without him.

That last step of verifying is often being skipped and is getting HARDER to do

The hallucinations spread like wildfire on the internet. Doesn't matter what's true; just what gets clicks that encourages more apparent "citations". Another even worse fertilizer of false citations is the desire to push false narratives by power-hungry bastards

AI rabbit holes are getting too deep to verify. It really is important to keep digital hallucinations out of the academic loop, especially for things with life-and-death consequences like medical school
