โ€œWhy is snoop dogg at the Olympics-โ€œ

WRONG QUESTION!

WHY ISNT MARTHA STEWART THERE WITH HIM?

she is! sheโ€™s joining him for the equestrian events because, and I am quoting her directly, โ€œSnoop is afraid of horses.โ€

i hate to be that guy, but the idea that gender, sex, and sexuality are ontologically pure concepts that can be rigidly defined if we simply police our language enough (our english language, because of course) isโ€”i cannot stress this enoughโ€”a total waste of time. you may as well spend your afternoons teaching a brick how to swim

I think about this old tweet...a LOT

'you still listen to music from 10 years ago ๐Ÿคจ?' bitch if prehistoric humans had audio recording technology id be sat up here listening to grog and unga bunga's greatest hits don't play with me

Joe Biden has called for an โ€œimmediate ceasefireโ€ in Gaza, telling Benjamin Netanyahu that future US support for Israel will depend on it taking concrete action to protect civilians and aid workers. As the two leaders held their first phone call since Israeli airstrikes killed seven employees of the international food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK), Biden issued the strongest US rebuke toward Israel since the start of the conflict. In Thursdayโ€™s call, which lasted less than 30 minutes, the US president โ€œmade clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering and the safety of aid workersโ€, the White House said in a statement.

^ this article is from 3 days ago.

This sale is still pending in Congress, because for once he can't rush it through with no oversight because it's 18 fucking BILLION DOLLARS.

Also, his quote:

Biden โ€œmade clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers,โ€ the White House said in a statement following the leadersโ€™ call. โ€œHe made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israelโ€™s immediate action on these steps.โ€ Biden also told Netanyahu that reaching an โ€œimmediate cease-fireโ€ in exchange for the estimated 100 hostages that are still being held in Gaza was โ€œessentialโ€ and urged Israel to reach such an accord โ€œwithout delay,โ€ according to the White House. Administration officials described the conversation as โ€œdirectโ€ and โ€œhonest.โ€

Note the bolded text.

He's not calling for an immediate ceasefire, he's calling for Israel to retrieve its ~100 hostages right away *with* a ceasefire as part of the negotiations.

Biden is desperate to get more positive press, do not fall for it, hes still trying to sell them 18 billion dollars in weapons to continue their genocide.

All of that is true without a doubt but the news in the above tweets is still significant.

Usually we'd get press releases about Biden privately calling Netanyahu an asshole. Usually Blinken pretend to care about the civilian deaths while doing everything he can to allow the slaughter to continue. But now Erez Crossing is being opened to allow aid in.

We should continue to be skeptical but also recognise when moves are being made. This was always going to happen especially due to pressure from the pro Palestine movement. All those protests, the disruptions at fundraisers and ports, the #uncommitted campaign, etc were all meant to lead up to the two tweets above

If things continue in this direction, ie the Biden administration continues actually pressuring Netanyahu, our task is to ensure we remind people how many Palestinians they've killed and what it took to make them stop

  • the Palestinian resistance
  • the Red Sea blockade
  • Hezbollah's attacks on the northern territories
  • the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeting American bases and Israeli cities
  • inflation and rising oil prices
  • protests and boycotts
  • international condemnations including the ICJ case by South Africa, etc

not the kindness in Biden and Blinken's hearts.

If things don't continue in that direction, then we keep doing what we've been doing.

I just want everyone to eat well and get old

every single one of us should have the chance to get old and bald and wrinkly and fat. I mean that sincerely

Going crazy thinking about how Richard offering the position of COO to Jared was framed as a romantic love scene because that was what Jared saw it as. A confession of love.

Anywayโ€ฆ

In honor of Silicon Valleyโ€™s 10-year anniversary and jarrich meet cute, Iโ€™m unearthing my jarrich playlist once again. Just a hodgepodge of songs that Jared probably listens to while he privately yearns for Richard.

does anyone else feel like talking verbally is a quicktime event and youโ€™re constantly missing the button cues
