I MADE THIS BLOG ALL BY MYSELF

So I found this coconut on the beach in Costa Rica and when I opened it THIS was inside. I think it’s the endosperm (or whatever you call the thing that develops into the tree). The coconut water itself wasn’t as sweet as usual (probably because it had sprouted), but the little sprout boi tasted sweet on one end and salty on the other. (submitted by @jewishpangolin)

op, their classmates, and their botany professor:

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

Edit: this post is blowing up so I’m gonna shamelessly plug my art account. Follow me and I’ll draw the Godzilla lesbians @thenonbinaryfriendnamedcrumb

My guess is that this lady has been carefully taught, in post-WWII Europe that the racialized antisemitism of the 19th and 20th centuries is Bad, and Wrong, and anyway Jews Are White now (which is very much code for "Whoops, we went a bit too far on the antisemitism between 1933 and 1945, so we'll give Jews a little bit of Whiteness, as a treat, to make up for that little oopsie"), so you can't be racist against Jews by definition.

But cultural Christianity, and especially cultural Catholicism, is a helluva drug. In trying so hard to be progressive, she's actually looped all the way around to the kind of medieval antisemitism from which we derive the idea that Jews have horns/tails/cloven feet. And I'm sure she doesn't even realize that.

And, as others have noted, the look of spiritual awe in her eyes at the memory of a mere glimpse of Gaza -- the Promised Land, if you will -- really seals the deal that this has become a religious substitute. You really do have to wonder what she'd think if she ever actually did manage to set foot in the Promised Land of Gaza, with all of her intense, earnest, spiritualized White Saviorism so prominently on display.

Today, she’s wearing a keffiyeh; Church has spoken at marches, fundraised and performed at Palestine solidarity events. “What’s happening there,” she says, “is the greatest spiritual awakening of our time.”

before this, she said, of using “from the river to the sea”:

“Just to clarify my intentions there, I am in no way antisemitic. I am fighting for the liberation of all people. I have a deep heart for all religions and all difference.”

"It was a beautiful, beautiful event. But unfortunately the powers that be can't have that. [They] can't have such a powerful symbol of resistance as what we worked towards on Saturday."

who are the “powers that be”? who is “(((they)))”? don’t worry about it. :)

It happens during the whole vampire questline. It's not related to vampires. I may misremember details so forgive me for that. But you have to go through old dwemer ruins and you meet the last living snow elf in Skyrim. You know, the snow elves. Who were enslaved by the dwemer and went blind and feral and still live in the ruins long after the dwemer are gone. The falmer is what they're called now. Here's the last one who's in their original form.

And oh hey, to get to where you need to go you have to take a path that's an old snow elf coming of age rite of passage. And he's going to take you through it and you're going to learn about this dead culture, this culture that was killed.

And now you've got what you came for and there's one way out. Now that you've learned what the falmer used to be, where they came from, what was lost because of the dwemer enslaving them, you have to go through a falmer village.

It's a narrow canyon lined with huts. There's no way to avoid it, in order to get through you have to kill them. They attack you because that's what they do to people invading their territory. You're invading their village. You have to kill them or they'll kill you. It's the only way out. You feel terrible.

If you stop to loot one of the huts on your way out you'll find a book full of unreadable text. Take it to the winterhold college and give it to the librarian and he'll tell you that it's a remarkable find because it's evidence that falmer have retained intelligence. They're not just mindless feral monsters. They have this book, they've kept this book even though they can't see. They have a culture. Maybe they still remember what happened to them. Maybe that's why they're so mad.

You just killed so many of them. You're going to have to kill many more.

Anyway.

I want you to look at the eyes of a child seeing fireworks for the first time, and tell me this world isn't magical.

I want you to learn how butterflies are made and tell me this world isn't magical.

I want you to look at a solar eclipse and what it does to the shadows, and tell me this world isn't magical.

I want you to go listen to Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville singing Au Clair de la Lune in 1860, an experiment he flung out into the ether and 148 years later we used technology he literally could not even have dreamed of to hear his voice, to finish his experiment, to declare it a success (yes--the phonautograph could indeed be used to record music that could be understood and read back later), and tell me this world isn't magic.

I’m working on it.

I have exactly one rough draft of one novel. I need to rewrite like three chapters. And then actually put it through editing. And then publishing.

Let's see-there's Jews are wealthy (Powerful Jewish Capitalists), Jews control everything/responsible for everything-hey we even have a shout out to the Nazi Octopus, Good Jews vs Bad Jews ('Real' Judaism), Jews are White, Jews are Rootless Cosmopolitans/Colonizers, Jews are Liars, Opposing Judaism Is Righteous (Are we talking Middle Ages, Nazism, Sovietism? No what, doesn't matter, it's the same shit repackaged!), The Jews Are the Bad Guys In An Ahistorial Cartoonish Way that They're Responsible For Their Own Ethnic Cleansing And Genocide in the Middle East Outside Israel....

What's not being said is that this is based on a much older libel that posits Jews as an inherently empty and bankrupt people, who can only mimic others and cannot, literally are not capable, of genuine innovation.

An exception for Rape, Life of the Mother, and Incest mean nothing when you have to prove it in a court of law, or get a team of lawyers and judges to sign off on it which can take weeks or even months.

Weeks a person dying hasn't got. Women are now dying. Actually dying. Because hospitals legally could not save their lives until they could wake up a judge and get their lawyers, and another sides lawyers awake and up and figured out if it was actually necessary or not. All people with no understanding of medicine, and no attatchment to the person suffering who simply doesn't want to die.

There's a lot more I could cover, like the increase in illegal abortion, abortion tourism, the massive increase in infant abandonment... but I'm going to leave it here.

People are dying. People who should be alive. Who would be alive if abortion was legal and the hospital could have simply treated their patient without waiting for a dozen men with no medical experience in another building to decide if their patient actually needs treatment or not. And yes they do have to wait. Because if they don't they get charged with murder for trying to save a life.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.
