Fetterman says he would leave Democrats if they become the ‘anti-Israel party’

Embattled Sen. John Fetterman said Wednesday that he would leave the Democratic Party if it stopped supporting U.S. aid to Israel.

“If our party ever becomes, and just makes it official, the anti-Israel party, that’s when I would leave because that’s been a moral clarity for me,” Fetterman said during the Hill National Summit in Washington, D.C., TheHill.com reported.

I am lucky to be someplace that has been conservative and frankly slow to get around to adopting it…. But we are reaching the cliff where people want to stand up agentic chains and get keys for raw model access, and I’m having to keep them in limbo until more funds are budgeted for their AI spend - and I’m wondering if we should get ahead of our future misery and spend on hardware now instead if license seats continually. Huh.

It’s weird being basically our “AI plug” who peddles the services to our engineers and re-ups them when they’re out of spicetokens, while ALSO being a believer that this approach is not sustainable and that our existing workflows, practices and data hygiene are nowhere near the level they should be at before trusting AI to take the wheel and steer, so IMO we are actively choosing to drive the bus closer and closer to a cliff of our own creation.

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

I had like one, maybe two friends who were all like FUCK YEAH YOU PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PURPLE BEDROOMS ARE AWESOME.

But when they actualy saw the finished bedroom, every single one of them was like, “Oh yeah, that’s really pretty.” (Well, the ones who supported me from the beginning were more like WOOHOO.)

MEAN YOU HAVE TO ABANDON

WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

When I bought my house, the kitchen was multiple shades of dingy white. It was dismal, but it was now mine! So went to the hardware store for paint (well, several trips, painted swatches on panel, etc — I’m very picky. But this was the final, ‘real’ trip). It was a busy day in the paint section. There were at least five people behind me in line.

Now, remember, latex paint is slightly lighter and brighter when wet than it is when dry. And I’d decided to paint my kitchen candy-apple red. The hardware store employee took my gallon off the Paint Jiggler and cracked it open to put a dab on the top, revealing the most incredibly deep pink, and behind me I hear the entire line of people say,

“Oh my god.”

…in perfect chorus.

This is the door to my garage. It used to be white. Live your best life.

Mischief the cat says “Who goes there?”

Every visiting friend says “This is so cool.”

my garage. It used to be

white. Live your best life.

But alas. I am WAY too lazy to do fuckall about this rental where I have already lived 5yrs with bare White walls in every room, nothing hung or tacked up at all.

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

I read the entirety of The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and Baby-Sitters Club book catalogs by age 11 and all of the (then-current) Discworld novels by 15.

As an aside, a lot of kids who “couldn’t read” actually just had undiagnosed vision impairment.

Replying to shit - no matter which way - is the part that I’m pissing people off with then??

If thats the case i may as well delete, i dont look to create my own shit, i am a commenter and that’s all

I AM genuinely trying not to intentionally and actively piss people off! Yes I’m immature and embarrassing, hi, thats me as a person, i moved on from changing that and am whole ass accepting it. That part ISN’T going anywhere. But unlike my 15 years on reddit, honest to gods I’m not trying to be a troll here for the sake of trolling, I’m replying with what i think the same way i would in person, NOT the same way i would bait on subreddits.

> “…All the examples were kids cartoons”

Then I’m essentially joking in return “Duh what else would they be from? Dirty stinky books?

Does that help?
