Obama's been a private citizen for nearly a decade, so inserting him into the conversation suggests your rubric for integrity and critical thinking skills is in grave disrepair.

What are you trying to convey? That concentration camps are good, actually? Or that people only feel otherwise today because they're liberal hypocrites?

Estimates of birth that rely on the mid-2023 figure and deliberately ignore Israel's systematic dismantling of the health and food systems in Gaza and the drop in fertility levels. >the casualty count that Hamas claims The Gaza Heal

This clarifies things, thank you. I've gotten the impression that Masad doesn't have a very coherent worldview so I doubt he has given this contradiction much thought.

As it happens, genocide scholars disagree with you, and in any case, Gaza's population has not increased.

I found the piece rambling and incoherent, but I don't really see how this follows. This is an individual Jordanian founder who made a political statement. That's not really the same thing as the deep integration between the Israe

More accurately, a Zionist descendant of Raphael Lemkin was working with Zionist organizations to abjure their characterization of the Gaza genocide as a genocide.

I don't see the issue; isn't a blog just a medium anyway, and media can host any kind of content, including essays, which anyone can write.

The CISO of a university is not an academic; neither is a writer at its student magazine.

Considering Gates was instrumental in bringing MS and OpenAI together, I think this is just greatmanning.

I don't think I've ever heard good voice acting in a JRPG, with the notable exception of Ys I & II for the TGCD, and that was released in 1989.

Hezbollah has not been known to behead and rape civilians and has in fact condemned the use of these tactics by Islamists. This conflation really draws into question the quality of your analysis.

I ought to have phrased it I guess as "I don't agree with the value proposition", mainly because of the downside you point out. This seems superior to Pulumi, though, in that the abstraction is (was) at least owned by Hashico

Eh; it's maybe dumb to suggest the only way for a project to be sustainable is to monetize it, but responding with "I'm rich, you peasant, I'm above such concerns" is infinitely worse.

In my professional network, people mostly just reshare and like things their peers are doing or that they want to boost engagement for (mainly job postings, which they also post occasionally). I _do_ have acquaintances I made outside of wor
