Snow White actress celebrated for refusing to delete 'free Palestine' post

I’ve heard it said that Walt was an antisemite, so I looked it up to confirm. According to an article in jewishpress.com the evidence that Walt was really an antisemite is weak but the MPA of the time had more things of concern.. That same article goes on to equate anti-Israel with antisemitism so I doubt they’d give Walt any benefit of a doubt.

I’m not on Twitter, but I hear getting exposure to actual vile antisemitism happens quite fast.

I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.

How to deal with exhaustion?

Not a diagnosis, but sounds like depression.

Perhaps counter intuitively, exercise (get that heart rate up and sweat exercise) has always been the most effective for me. Managed my depression for ~25 years that way, such that I only have occasional (temporary) bouts of ennui.

I’d keep up with the touching grass too.

Federal immigration officers pull out of Louisiana to head to Minneapolis

I’m not saying roll over and accept fascism, and if it does come to civil war so be it, but civil war is not anything I am rushing to.

I get wanting to fight back. I’m mad as hell. I want nothing more than most politicians (on both sides) and billionaires to be stripped of all their wealth and power, and many of them to never see the outside of a cell. I just want to avoid being a statistic, or living with the memories of dead loved ones and bombed out neighborhoods.

Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3

Switched my home PC to Linux (Manjaro) over a year ago and had little issue getting it to run what I want. Steam works great these days. Wine has come a long way but I don’t end up using it.. though might try to run Foobar now that I think of it.

I hear the fleet management argument though. I got a MacBook at work because I couldn’t stand windows 11 and it’s claim on all virtualization (have to disable security features to get VMs access to hardware virtualization), and I don’t envy our IT department having to deal with Jamf.
