Exactly. I avoid lemmy.ml specifically because the admins there are the same ones who run the commonly defederated lemmygrad.ml - so the instance isn't particularly friendly.

Vote with your feet and move the community to a better instance, and hopefully some volunteer will message the old one detailing the move.

I mean Palestinians who are willing to coexist peacefully with Israel. It isn’t just about whether they like Hamas or not, it’s about their ultimate goals.

Ah, good point. Got your meaning now.

The CSM article gives me some hope

🤞

I find it very odd that the mainstream media doesn’t seem interested in the story.

There are occasional mentions. For example, here's a slightly more mainstream article, https://www.thedailybeast.com/robbed-silenced-and-betrayed-why-gazans-turned-away-from-hamas/

I think overall it just gets fewer clicks and views than the articles that bring up bombs and shootings and deaths. Sorta why we also don't see as much coverage about Israel abandoning the hunt for the hostages, e.g. https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/october-7-anniversary-hostages-betrayal-netanyahu-hamas-hezbollah-20241006.html

the NYT responded, “Nah, we’re not interested.” Almost as if Western liberal media is suppressing those stories to promote a particular decolonization narrative of the conflict…

Time will tell, I suppose. In any case, like all the publishers who turned down Harry Potter, I suspect they're likely to come to deeply regret this (turning the story down).

Bari Weiss (I think it was her) recently told a story about approaching the New York Times

Would love to read more about this if you have a reference or link!

Good luck to the Laval workers (what a great name for a city btw!)

I stand with them.

I mean at least they're promoting a replacement who can speak more coherently.

It might be harder to get to a ceasefire - but that's still the first step in putting a stop to what's happening. Without that, there are only two other choices: Israeli forces complete their war and take control over Gaza, or Hamas somehow wins over a nuclear power (Israel).

The latter two involve more innocents dying, hence my retaining preference for a ceasefire.

I suspect he's in it only as a ticket out of jail.

It's linked to https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4894697-harris-trump-al-smith-dinner/ which explains why,

Harris’s team told event organizers that she will be campaigning in a battleground state on the day of the dinner and is unable to attend, a campaign official told The Hill. She “wants to maximize her time in the battlegrounds this close to the election,” but her team told organizers that she would like to attend the event as president, if elected.

And from https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4939077-vice-president-kamala-harris-al-smith-dinner/ it's Wisconsin she will be hard at work in.

Personally, I like the idea of a VP who skips the fancy elite dinners to go out and meet the people.

The thing to realise is that the margin of error is typically 4 or 5 points. So these results are still well within a margin of error that would allow Harris to win the EC.

This news needs to be spread far and wide.

Folks who believe in the officially policies of the Greens and of Stein will find a better match in Harris than the other major party candidate, so spreading this news may help turn some Stein voters into Harris voters.

Just gotta wait a bit longer ... I'm putting my hopes on Harris winning the election and then - post vote, being able to push for stronger measures to compel a ceasefire.

The article is right - peace may come from a ceasefire, but not from continuing this war.

Both can't be true, so it's obvious that this PAC is a liar.

No one. Rather, it's a call to energize white nationalists groups to indirectly support the GOP candidate, while avoiding the kiss of death for him.

If this doesn't really seem to make too much sense, it's because it doesn't. I doubt the folks behind this thought it through that well..

This is welcome news indeed!

No worries, I accept responsibility - I must have phrased it badly or something.

Amazing. Thank you for your hard work!

It's certainly an oddity (a GOP person running for national office while campaigning so hard in a locality that's so blue). People like sharing odd things online, I suppose.

I think there are a couple of points to this. Autism started out as a medical or psychological diagnosis. Whereas the folks behind the LGBT term explicitly created it as an umbrella term in the beginning, with the intention to include as many folks as possible.

Within LGBT, it's possible to apply multiple labels to oneself - as in your examples (an asexual transexual or an aromatic lesbian).

This used to be possible inside of the autistic spectrum to agree as well, but the labels were less clear. E.g. What was the difference between Aspergers and autism? Where do folks who have non-verbal learning disorder fit on the scale - or is this the wrong scale? Do we count folks who have BAP (Broader Autistic Phenotype)? While high functioning autism vs low functioning autism was easier to define, it was taken as insulting.

So eventually everything just got the one label, but that blurred the differences. Which made it somewhat more difficult to talk about.

They're a nuclear armed power. Even if the US halted all support, it feels like that wouldn't be enough to stop them.

Exactly. He worked to let the guy survive his second impeachment, even after knowing all of this. So he's just as bad.
