Change in Abstract
Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.
The cowards making this argument do so because they never had an ounce of the courage these college kids are displaying and need to make themselves feel better about it.

I had the honor of seeing the Columbia University anti-war encampment firsthand. Contrary to right-wing attacks, these students are joyfully protesting for peace and an end to the genocide taking place in Gaza. I’m in awe of their bravery and courage.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Another day - another grim discovery of mass grave in Gaza. Fifty-one more bodies from Nasser Hospital. Some bodies with hands bound and appearances of shot execution style. More than 300 bodies retrieved from two of the largest hospitals in Gaza after Israeli sieges end this…
I know this is being normalized extremely quickly, but let’s take a step back, put political analysis aside, and think about how insane this is. Students across the country are being arrested by actual police for sitting on the lawns of their universities with tents and signs.

The mass graves, checkpoints, hospital raids, nurses' handcuffed corpses, dead children, children handicapped by snipers, videos of IDF sniffing womens' underwear & playing w/ kids toys—none of it will penetrate the enlightened liberal psycho's need to Rise Above It & Explain
🚨UPDATE: NYPD arrested ALL faculty who were protecting students at the encampment. COME SUPPORT NYU RIGHT NOW at W4 st and Greene st!

This is not old. They have discovered yet another mass grave at al Shifa hospital, this one almost entirely of murdered patients. Slaughtered in their beds by Israel. Some corpses still have their drips attached.

The "AI might enslave or destroy humanity" song and dance was fake candor aimed at convincing people the tech is being handled with grave solemnity and at drawing attention away from the real problem with AI, which is that it's fundamentally predatory.

skill issue for those men. the correct answer is it’s impossible to have a favorite bird. if I said barred owl, I would feel shame the next time I saw a Canada warbler, or a Say’s phoebe, or an American kestrel. I’m already feeling stress about naming some birds and not others!
Are there any men out there who have a favorite bird that is not an eagle? Every single man I have ever asked said "eagle".

@AlbertBurneko in the last 7 years the Celtics have made 4 conference finals and 1 finals appearance(s) and yeah the losses are crushing but the team is insanely good, and I would rather watch this 100/100 times than the 90s teams that finished <=10th in the conf 6 times

you can say "batman should be more realistic." what you cannot coherently say is that batman should, in a realistic way, form and act upon the opinion "no maximum security prison can hold this clown" x.com/flglmn/status/…
@Aelkus there's a weird circularity to it: they feel that batman should kill the joker because it's not realistic to let him live given that he's going to keep escaping; but the fact that he's going to keep escaping is itself a wildly unrealistic genre convention
