AIPAC isn't enjoying the spotlight they're in now and are scrambling to hide their influence. People will need to pay a lot closer attention to how candidates are funded as Israel shifts to opaque entities to fund candidates with.
I wonder how much of our aid to Israel ends up being spent on funding AIPAC.
Except impeachment lets the Republicans play the victim card in '28.
They're going to do that anyway. Don't let their bullshit stop us from doing what's right. Otherwise we're just allowing him to continue his criminal activity with no pushback. And that depresses voter turnout.
Not only that but defending himself from impeachment takes resources away from all the other awful shit Trump is doing.
We need more candidates like Kat Abughazaleh
One of the problems with the Democratic Party is that the number one quality for choosing leadership is how well they fundraise. Obviously this makes leadership beholden to those with the biggest pockets, like AIPAC.
We need to primary every Democrat incumbent who isn't a progressive in action as well as rhetoric.
Thanks for this. I'm definitely dropping ollama now. No wonder GGUF models always gave me issues.
I might even dump open webui for llama.cpp's webui
Both of her "types" reinforce the patriarchy and misogyny in general.
I not only say it, I live it. There is an off switch of sorts, it's called sleep.
I found out recently that my kids get offended when I read one of their texts and don't respond right away. People are so needy these days. Makes me want to turn off texting on my phone.
It does blow their minds that I routinely go days without picking up my phone and that I don't use social media apps.
I've always had the same attitude as Betty Draper when it comes to boredom. Only boring people get bored. At the very least, there's always something interesting to think about.
Big concerts with crazy amounts of people and you got a $20 ticket made out of paper that you could save to display in your photo album.
God yes, affordable concerts that were actually performed live rather than lip-synched. And Ticketmaster had not become the monopolistic scum of the earth they are now. You could actually get really good seats at a reasonable price if you were willing to get on the phone and dial like a monster or wait in line at the box office. Very rarely would anyone overpay. Even scalpers' prices were reasonable compared to average list prices today.
No cops in school, no school shootings. Parents were not our chauffeurs, either. They might grudgingly drop you off somewhere or pick you up but you could not expect them to do both without a lot of cajoling and pleading or bribing.
Summers from 6th grade on were just incredible. I'd wake up whenever, head out and not come home until dark. If I was going to be later than that, I'd have to call and let the parental units know or there would be hell to pay but other than that I was free to do whatever....but I wasn't getting any money from the parents to do anything. If I wanted funds for my activities, it was up to me to figure out what kind of work I could do to earn money.
This can cut both ways. Now those soldiers can be prosecuted in the US under the UCMJ.
There is no statute of limitations for murder.
