Great, so we jam more satellites into orbit, redoubling the same work and clogging up massive swaths of spectrum just so we can have someone else dictating terms and taking profit. Wish we could do it once, globally, and be done with it.

    The pigs seem to be skurrying in the other direction, unless the protest is actually peaceful. Then they're happy to show folks how big and bad they are lol.

    The rise of the right, and these riots are a symptom of the same thing. Failure of the center and left, in whatever form it actually takes, to provide the conditions for a thriving society. But sure, be mad at the symptom, not the cause.

    My guess is upright. They often wrap their tails around themselves back to front, so along the ground so that it encircles their feet as far as it'll go. This looks like they just let it go forward rather continuing to keep it pressed against themself. Admittedly it's a very weird angle to see a cat and I'm not sure why the front paws aren't on whatever surface they're sitting on.

    Do they though? Israel did some pretty half assed hasbara on this topic (command centers and whatnot) but I never heard any part of it actually panning out. Meanwhile how many hospitals are left functional in Gaza? Universities? Water treatment? Those were also "hamas" by the way.

    I mean the US not being the good guy was the distillation of his message.

    Another person spoke about his Epstein connection which has come out recently, which is a huge disappointment. All I can say is that like 15 years ago, people like him, Norm Finkelstein and Chris Hedges helped to plant me on the left. Finding out about Epstein has been difficult to understand given his work and the effect it had on me.
