  • She’s supposed to be on a Yacht, not a protest flotilla.

    And the wealthy all consider her activism a con-game because to them, empathy is just another resource that’s exclusive to their class. The note of pity is genuine because they think she’s wasting her life.
















  • Like all news orginizations, Al Jazeera is shit when you compare it to the platonic ideal of news. However, when you compare it to Western media, it’s solidly middle of the pack. During the Gaza genocide, it was the Al Jazeera reporters who were on the ground and targeted for death.

    The biggest criticism of Al Jazeera is the race/religion of it’s reporters. People are going to show up to tell me that it’s Qatari state-run. But those same people don’t feel the same about DW, BBC, or NPR.

    The best evidence for Al Jazeera’s credibility is they are constantly being banned in Israel for reporting on that regime’s crimes.


  • TLDW: A canard is when an aircraft has the tail in the front:

    The Wright bros. installed one thinking it would improve stability. That was what the literature said, but they discovered it actually made the aircraft less stable. They kept the design for safety. This is because early aircraft tended to nose down and “lawn-dart” when they stalled. With a canard, the aircraft tended to “pancake” instead which was much safer for the vehicle and pilot.


  • He didn’t. Up until the time of Paul (decades after the Jdog’s death), Christianity was a Jewish sect seeking to become mainstream Judaism. It was only then that early Christians shed their Jewish identity.

    That’s in the story, but in the History, Christianity arose from Greece and Rome, not Judea. It was never a Semitic religion. Instead borrowing elements of that combined with Paganism.

    Either way, a Historic Jesus would have died a Jew. The mythological Jesus may do whatever and I’m aware of Christians who’ll deny he was ever a Jew.
