I'm struggling with everything on this article. On the one hand anytime a hostage has been freed, that's good news. On the other, at what cost. 40 000 dead. That's the easy stat. Amputations are also incredibly high. Most of them kids and performed without anesthetic. This is the first time the IDF has rescued hostages. So I'm sitting here with my initial feeling of 'oh, that's good news' ,and then I think about the wider picture and context, and it doesn't seem so good anymore.

Last year around this time Russia was advancing every day by the 10s of meters. Now some advances are 1-2 km.

The Ukrainians announcing this means things are a lot more dire than what we've been led to believe.

Too big to fail? Search is only one revenue stream.

I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any independent verification that Hamas has been using hospitals and schools for bases, but I'm positive that there's been debunked Israeli reports that schools and hospitals have been used as Hama's bases.

Same thing for human shields. IDF admits to using Palestinians as shields. To my knowledge, there's no Hamas equivalent.

This 'war' isn't about Hamas anyways. If it was, there wouldn't be 1000 people killed in the west bank. Hamas isn't in the west bank. Why is the IDF letting people kill Palestinians in the west bank?

The jokes I said as a teenager would get me fired today, and I've usually been more progressive than my peers.

Elons got some crazy brain rot. Even a lot of his SciFi colonize Mars ideas are terribly out of date.

Thank you. It's the easiest propaganda to consume. It's important to recognize it for what it is.

If only this would be read by people that believe Hughes. Unfortunately, he's preaching to the choir

Capitalism I can imagine how capitalism could be inevitable. I can't imagine enough controls on it to make it sustainable

I gave two examples...

The cost was significant though. It's not like Israel can afford to do that often.

The US needs an extreme clean up in the government. Unfortunately, it's going to be harder to do every election that it doesn't happen

Except Biden... I don't want to wade into a which side is right here, but there was the biggest push for third parties I've ever seen in the last 4 years. The push is still vote blue no matter who. Every single time there's a new Republican candidate, he's the worst thing ever, and has to be stopped no matter what, but they get worse every single season. The one that follows Trump is going to be worse. The overton window has shifted so much that neither party actually stands for what the majority of Americans want. I get that Trump is an existential threat to the US, but globally, we're facing existential threats to humanity. (Resource depletion, pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change) What the US does matters. You guys need to do better than two genocidal geriatrics.
