My two sentence review of the new Martin Scorsese movie: Good movie. Didn’t need to be that long.

It’s more about preventing people from actively taking part in the BDS movement than the specifics of a boycott. The goal is to dissuade people from vocally supporting Palestine and from taking part in activism efforts
Honestly I haven’t done the investigation to say. It very well could be an unenforceable part of their lease. But the south is notorious for insane anti-tenant legislation so I wouldn’t be surprised. My state famously banned the passing of rent control legislation so good luck running your local socialist candidate for mayor they can’t do anything even if they win
The point is to silence outspoken opposition. Silent, individualized product boycotts are virtually useless. Keeping the message that Israel is an apartheid state based on oppression out of the mainstream is the point of anti-BDS legislation
BDS is an existential threat because it threatens to popularize the truth that Israel is an apartheid state. Proponents of the occupation will cite the end of apartheid South Africa as a worst case scenario. Hamas is less so for the inverse reason that the violent opposition (as long as it’s manageable violence) provides reason for the occupation to continue
The writing is so god awful it takes all the wind out of the sails or anything actually enjoyable in the game. The most fun I’ve been having in the game is from doing the radiant bounty hunting sidequests that feature no dialogue or backstory. Just shooting goons
Insane that the ghouls aren’t even smart enough to put someone competent in charge of the dying slave empire
Holy fuck he's actually dying trying to just stand there and read the teleprompter. I haven't seen many Joe clips lately, has he been this bad? I guess they couldn't keep him in hiding forever

I took my wife out for a nice dinner tonight for her birthday and our waiter was a highschool friend of mine but she so didn’t want to be recognized that she spent the entire night facing towards my wife that my partner asked after the fact if she was trying to flirt with her. Like reached around my back to drop the check so she was out of eyesight trying to hide. Homestly feel bad about it because I don’t want to make anyone feel bad like that but I have no idea what I could’ve done. Purposefully avoided saying hi once I recognized her because she so clearly didn’t want that interaction. What do you do folks? 🤷♂️
