This headline is so stupid that I didn’t even realize what the deal was at first glance. OK so somebody is pointing out from inside the country that the Israelis should really not turn a blind eye to what their government is doing.

Then after rereading what it actually says: “Hamas’s?” Get fucked lol.

Any authority that is legitimately good and has your interests at heart doesn't need you to give it trust. It will earn your respect and support, and trust should be unnecessary because transparency would make the "...but verify" part effortless.

She really did?

Fellas we'd better be careful because I think this Ghislaine lady might be a liar!

Hitler would then go on to label himself "the administrator of justice of the German people"

I was reading up on that and saw this quote. Let's try the 2025 version on for size.

Trump (Vance?) would then go on to label himself "the administerder of justice of the American people"

Yep, right on cue. Shivers down the spine.

The whole domain of foster care, CPS/CYF offices, and adoptions is a huge and tragic world that exists all around us but is invisible to most people.

Almost anybody who works in that world is in the same situation as jobs like teachers and game developers where passionate people are aggressively exploited by the business drones. But they have to deal with sadder higher stakes while getting even worse pay and nowhere near the resources they need. So then they become victims of the system too.

And we all know that here in the US at least, our population does not give a fuuuuuuck about living children breathing air outside wombs. And when they are poor and "urban?" Forget about it.

I can hear conservative distant relatives now: "Sounds like his baby mama should have taken better care of him!" (Of course with the term "baby mama" shoehorned in where it doesn't fit in order to make sure the sentence ends with an air of racism and dehumanization of an innocent child)

Wow. I wasn't looking for an awesome document management program that I could self-host, but I think now I retroactively need this.

Chum the rich?

Honestly I think rubbing his privilege in people's face like that is part of the fun, in an obviously evil narcissistic way. He can allude to the horrors he uses to entertain himself, then he and his criminal buddies can laugh that nothing will happen. It's a feature.

Not that it matters since you can rotate, but you do have that backwards. They define the Cali King as the tall one and the King as the wide one.

the "I'm going to move to the country and grow my own food" crowd

If this statement appeals to you (it does to me) it might mean you need to find more hobbies that keep you outdoors. (I have and it's great!)

My department at work has made what I’m just now naming A Deal With The Penguin.

We pretty much don’t get IT support, but it’s because we can run Linux!

Things like broken hardware or locked out M360-AD accounts are another matter of course. But come to think of it, the front desk admin ordered me a replacement part once, and we have a dedicated website for resetting and changing your password. So other than initial onboarding years ago I don’t think I’ve used them at all. lol.

He’s starting to look like the good old Iraqi Information Minister in these photos. Good.
