Sure, but the point is that Palestinian organizations have been incentivized to embrace peace over the past 3 decades. I’m not sure that Palestinians as a whole demand violence at all times is the correct take. Terrorist orgs like Hamas rise up in response to the *failures* of the peace process.

The Palestinian Authority has been the primary Palestinian political organization for 30 years and has not committed atrocities against Israeli civilians.

Well, the protest had to do with the government’s severe underfunding of education, so if they just wait a few years maybe no one literate enough to make a sign of any size will be left.

I can only speak to part of this, as I did not attend Yale, but the shittiest lawyer in my small corner of a very small state is a Yale Law grad and it is endlessly funny to see him constantly fail on all possible levels. A real indictment of the idea of elitism.

Malcolm Gladwell Holds His Ideas Loosely. He Thinks You Should, Too.

As he releases “Revenge of The Tipping Point,” the best-selling journalist talks about broken windows theory, Joe Rogan and changing his mind.

Maybe I haven’t taken enough psychedelics this morning to properly engage with the American court system, but is the judge’s argument here that the First Amendment requires libraries to maintain materials if they are racist?

I am ambivalent about pretend meat products (cooked in taco seasonings or whatever they’re passable) but there are substitutes like black bean burgers that are just good for what they are, not directly trying to mimic something they aren’t.

I’ve worked multiple jobs downtown Fairbanks for the past 15 years and have not once stepped foot inside either of the four story parking garages here - one of which abuts a 40 car parking lot, the other of which is kitty-corner to TWO parking lots.
