I hate people who act like they're smarter than me just because they went to a fancy college and have a higher IQ and are gooder at thinkings.
Yeah, totally understand. No one knows anything right now so I'd say make your own decisions
For those keeping track at home: got through to a live agent on chat after waiting seven and a half hours. They were really helpful though; moved me to another flight a few days later at no extra cost.
Itβs pretty gross how much FUN Hegseth is having, radiating sweaty, boyish glee in every interview
An amazingly insightful, thoughtful and nuanced piece by a writer who clearly knows his subject. A long piece but worth every moment of your time.
Thereβs an Indian journalist in Israel right now reporting in Hindi about how bomb shelters in Israel will allow even the pets of Jews in but will not open its doors to the Indian workers our shithole government sent in droves to make up for genocided Palestinian labor. Apartheid regime.
X blocked this tweet of Anna M M Vetticad on 23 Feb on govt orders. She writes how years of abuse, threats & knobbling of her X acct in the #Modi era have not sapped her persistence.

Oh, hey, @doctorow.pluralistic.net is now on Bluesky!
"See, if we indict them for something, we can claim invading their country to seize them is criminal enforcement, not war."
"Yeah, because everyone in the world is subject to US law!"
"Except us."
"Right, right, we got that impunity!"
"Immunity."
"Yeah, that too."

I'd have tried "a flea" for the second but yeah, Jason's better.
This is beautiful. Turn on captions. #musicsky
Nice set! Would love to know your take on the first book after you've read it
Investors still think its going to be a short war.
This is perfectly put on the consensus view. That Trump will TACO because of oil prices shooting up and not wanting to lose midterms.

I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"
Coffee, straight out of my nose.
βThe 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.β
Posting these if it helps anyone trying to #travel through the #MiddleEast on #Etihad or #Emirates or similar flights right now.
I've been waiting for over 2.5 hours for an Etihad agent to chat with me. Another post from the same subreddit gave me a way to find my position in the queue. www.reddit.com/r/etihad/com...
For people like me who are trying to transit through the Middle East airports, this post on the Etihad subreddit makes a ton of sense. Basically they are prioritizing folks stranded in the UAE over transit passengers, and their websites & software aren't up to date

Yeah, five times the cost though
Makes sense. I'm still trying to figure out how to get back to Boston

Holy shit
Once again reminding everyone that the majority of people stranded in the UAE are not influencers or expats or tourists, but South Asian (and SE Asian and African) workers whose passports are often controlled by their employers and whose govts have made no attempts to repatriate.
Itβs clear they are beginning to test the waters on this site. If you see anything resembling it, do not engage. Block them immediately. You do not want the IT Cell to gain a foothold here.
I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...
