President: What I do now, I do for the sake of the people of Earth. But there is one man on this planet who will NEVER kneel before you.
General Zod: Who is this imbecile? Where is he?
President: I wish I knew.

I’m touched by all the comments. But I’m not brave for saying these things on the internet. Real courage is saying these things in real life, even if it means losing friends over them.
And I do that too, because I have no choice.

Disagree!
But I listen to a lot of singer-songwriter type music, in which the lyrics really are an important part of the song.

Co-founder of Green Party in Germany
In 1980, I was among the anti-authoritarian leftists who cofounded the world's first Green Party in Germany + became their president for 4 yrs. We could never have imagined that there would be an antisemitic Green Party in the UK. I despise jew-haters. They are preparing pogroms.

There’s truth to this. I can think of good reasons why they wouldn’t want to release video of people being murdered in cold blood, but the general public just doesn’t have any good idea of the sadistic savagery of Oct 7.
Not immediately releasing the 45 minute montage of footage taken by Hamas on 10/7 is the dumbest thing Netanyahu did during the war, and continuing to not release it to the public is the second dumbest thing he has done. It is so stupid, I wonder if Israel can survive.

I never got into Pink Floyd, but Dave Gilmore is a stand-up guy, and a truly tasteful guitarist. It’s that other guy I don’t like.
I have never listened to Dark Side of the Moon tho.
In @ElvisCostello's new "Honest Playlist," the song he can no longer listen to is:
"Anything by Pink Floyd. Never could,never will. [They're] dreary. I love the imagination...of See Emily Play, but after Syd Barrett left they never appealed to me." Me too.

Disagree.
A simulation of digital water really does behave like a real liquid. And it can wetten materials, if those materials are also part of the simulation.

Fox interviews a guy who claims he went to heaven for 18 days.
He can report that Jesus is not only male but about 5’11 or 6 feet tall and really masculine. “Talk about testosterone. Like a mustang.”
It’s over for the Talarico campaign.

Will A.I. Make Your Brain Lazy? Here’s What the New Research Actually Shows.
When people become accustomed to skipping the productive struggle of logical and analytical tasks and having the process automated by using AI, they are more likely to give up on hard questions that they could otherwise figure out.
“Part of how A.I. is making us dumber,” says Dr. Adam Green, a cognitive neuroscientist at Georgetown University, is “undercutting the development of learning how to think in younger people that now have an alternative.”
But students who usedA.I. more like a tutor, to explain complex concepts or clarify ideas, not only retain high test scores, but their essays were higher quality as well.
So the key is using this technology is a more effective way. Sadly, this is not the default way students seem to be using it.

Had to block two people now for making fun of my supposedly Jewish nose, except I’m not Jewish. (And not that there’s anything wrong with Jewish noses!)
Just casual bullying from moron losers.

I have an unusual personality, I think.
I’m very sincere, and just say what I think to be true, even if it will get me into trouble. But I’m not doing it to hurt other people. It’s truth for its own sake.
But it does get me into constant trouble, both online, and irl.

The reason I put Zionist in my bio is not because I have strong pro-Israel opinions, because I don’t
It’s because I don’t like seeing Jews bullied by anti-Zionists. Because I think that’s deeply wrong, and it’s important enough to me to say something.

Irish life. It’s sad. I just went on a dog-walk with the very sweet 13 year old neighbour kid, and he mentioned he will never listen to Ed Sheeran again.
I think he’s already got the idea that Israel = The Evil Empire, and Palestinians = The Rebel Alliance.

Children are natural moralists, and if adults tell them that a group is evil, then they will be more than willing to believe it.
Understanding that there are moral complexities to every issue is an adult thing, and it’s too difficult for many adults.
