  • Ms Rachel responds to antisemitism allegations: "The Stop Antisemitism Now group should not be able to try to ruin people's lives"

    Jump

  • It does more than that. It tarnishes the believability of all accusations of antisemitism, even those made by reasonable people about actual antisemitism.

    It also proactively fuels antisemitism by conflating Israel with Jews more broadly. Because of rhetoric like this, some subset of people who are outraged at Israel l's actions will now direct that outrage at Jews more broadly.

  • If you track how kids perform at this, you actually find a bathtub curve. When they are really young and just learning words, they are actually quite good at irregular conjunctions (for the few words they know). Then, as they get older and learn a bunch of other words, they start messing up the irregular ones they used to get right. Then, of course, they eventually learn the exceptions as exceptions.

  • Municipal steam networks are still operating today.

    For new infrastructure, Electricity is just so good-enough, that it is hard to justify building out partial alternatives like steam pipes. But where we already have them, they are still useful.

  • Israeli forces kill Palestinian men in West Bank after they appear to surrender

    Jump

  • Back in 1994, the IDF granted Itamar Ben-Gvir an exemption from mandatory military service due to his right wing views. He has since been convicted (in Israeli courts) of supporting a terrorist organization, and is currently serving as Israel's minister of national security; and is a key figure in maintaining the current governing coalition.

    The governing coalition has been in constant tension with senior IDF leadership, which has long argued that all achievable military objectives in Gaza have been achieved, and that continued operation is counter productive.

  • Comey case dismissed after Trump aide 'with no experience' tries to begin trial

    Jump

  • Correct. In theory, there is a law that grants an extension to the statute of limitations in cases where an indictment is filled in time, and subsequently dismissed.

    However, it is not clear if that is applicable here because one of the problems here was that prosecutor messed up the grand jury so badly, that there is a reasonable argument that Comey was never actually indighted.

    This isn't likely to come up, because the other result was a ruling that Trump cannot keep on appointing interim US Attorneys, so the prosecutor to bring charges would either need to be Senate approved, or court appointed.

  • Twitter's new country-of-origin feature shakes MAGA and Democrat circles as many 'US' accounts revealed to be foreign-run

    Jump

  • I'm surprised it is getting caught by this feature. I thought routing those accounts through a US based connection was table stakes. But, I guess there is no point bothering until people actually are able to see.

  • Israeli air strikes pummel Gaza less than 48 hours after UN adopts Trump's plan

    Jump

  • Israel will be paying for this for generations. They have renewed the generational trauma that fuels anti Israel terrorism, and squandered the historical good will they had managed to hold onto up until this point.

    Zionists, however, will be reaping the rewards of this for decades. That anti Israel terrorism fuels their push for expansion, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. The loss of good will forces Israel to realign it's geopolitics away from the liberal nations who push back against ethninationalism, and into illeberal nations with whom Zionism is much more idea logically aligned.

  • Yes, now that you mention it, I have been under increased stress recently. It started around the time I came to your office.

  • US judge finds evidence of ‘government misconduct’ in federal case against Comey

    Jump

  • That isn't why she was hired. She was hired because she was willing to bring the case.

  • Trump says he'll issue $2,000 tariff dividend to all except 'high-income people'

    Jump

  • Because the tarrifs end up is the cost of goods, which is counted as part of their price when calculating inflation.

    If you subtract the direct effect of tarrifs on price, you'll find that they were deflationary.

  • Deal to reopen government falters over Democrats’ distrust of Trump

    Jump

  • What is the both-sides in this case? Setting aside the question of trustworthyness, what trust would a deal require the Republicans to have. The only commitment I see the Dems making here is a singular vote at the beginning. If they don't follow through on that vote, then the deal is off before Republicans give up anything.

    The Dems need to trust Republicans/Trump because they make their concession first.

  • New Drug Kills Cancer 20,000x More Effectively With No Detectable Side Effects

  • Waterproofing hasn't been relevant to batteries since they were made internal.

    I just checked, and a replacement battery for my 2024 HMD Skyline goes for $15.62 plus another $3.25 for the consumable adhesive pad and whatever shipping ends up being [0]. In practice, you might also need to buy tools, which can further drive up the cost.

    Finding that source took a bit of knowledge. If you go by what HMD tells it's US users, you would look on iFixit, which would be $30 for an entire kit, which includes the battery, adhesive, and tools (Just the battery and adhesive would run you about $28).

  • Half the Country Sues Trump for Using Shutdown to Slash SNAP Funding

    Jump

  • How the fuck is this actually permitted?

    It's not. Those messages are a blatant violation of a law known as the Hatch Act.

    In theory, this is enforced by the office of special counsel, which is an independent federal agency. In practice, Trump fired the head of the OSC back in February, and appointed one of his cabinet officials to the role.

    In theory, this was completely unlawful, as the OSC was setup by Congress post Watergate [0] specifically to be independent of the President. Indeed a lower court ruled as such; but was overturned on appeal. The problem is that the Supreme Court has recently embraced a view of near unlimited presidential power, including explicit rulings against the constitutionality of laws preventing the president from firing heads of independent agencies. [1].

    The court also ruled that the president has near complete immunity to commit crimes (Trump v US 2024). That ruling gives the president literally complete immunity for "core" acts such as issuing pardons. So, he could pardon everyone involved.

    In theory, the recourse here is impeachment. But there isn't much stomach to impeach him again after his prior impeachments failed to remove him from office. Those impeachments being for: withholding military aid to Ukraine because they wouldn't investigate the son of his political opponents; and directing a violent insurrection on January 6 to try and remain in power despite loosing the election.

    [0] Where then president Nixon directed a break in of the headquarters of his political opponents.

    [1] Although, I will note, the Court has made a point of clarifying that the Federal reserve is fine. Undoubtedly because they care about the amount of money they would loose in the economic carnage of that particular agency loosing independence.

  • USDA announces SNAP benefits will not be issued in November

    Jump

  • You can fill out a form and send it to your HR/payroll department to adjust your withholdings at anytime, and they are supposed to do so no questions asked.

    The employee not paying their income tax does not actually have an adverse impact on the employer, so they don't care. Of course, the employee still has the legal obligation to pay; but breaking tax law is pretty inherent with tax protest.

  • I AM BETTER

    Jump

  • I had a similar realization when studying undergrad linguistics.

    One of the classes had us read Chomsky's "Remarks on Nominalization" paper. The overwhelming sense I got from it was that the author did not understand X-Bar theory, despite knowing that Chomsky was the one who came up with it (and not realizing at the time that this paper was essentially Chomsky's first paper on the subject).

    I will also say that it is a credit to his writing that the paper still holds up pretty well; even if it spends an entire section coming up with bad answers to what was literally a syntax 201 homework assignment.

  • UN urges opening of all Gaza crossings to deliver three-month food supply | UN News

    Jump

  • Also, it's not like the food gangs steal is getting thrown into the sea, or smuggled into Egypt. It is getting eaten by people in Gaza.

    When there is a shortage of food, the people with the guns eat first. That is not fair; but it is a waste of energy to be upset at those people instead of the people who made the political decision to have a food shortage.
