Edit: Beaten. I guess I missed some posts. President Trump’s Twitter accessed by security expert who guessed password “maga2020!” https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/22/dutch-hacker-trump-twitter-account-password/ Does TechCrunch do satire, now? I’ve looked like six times to see if I can find the date April 1st in there anywhere.

Vandar posted:All the new adult swim shows (except Rick and Morty I guess) have like a 12 dollar budget too. this indicates to me that you have not seen Primal. go watch Primal right the gently caress now. e: more specifically, Primal is Genndy Tartakovsky (the Samurai Jack/Dexter's Lab guy) making an action series about a caveman and his T-Rex buddy who both get their families eaten and walk the earth looking for a safe place to stay, frequently being attacked by various creepy things and loving poo poo up in response. it's gorgeous and it absolutely whips rear end and if you have access to HBO Max you need to go watch the first 5 episodes ASAP.

The only way he's not the idiot is if he's satirizing the kind of people who say this poo poo, which I admit is definitely possible, but if that's the case he should've gone for a much sillier book title.

Yes. Finkelstein was famously denied tenure after running afoul of Alan Dershowitz due to criticizing his scholarship and his (Finkelstein's) scathing criticism of Israel for its actions against Palestinians and Israel's weaponization of the Holocaust. His career was torpedoed by Dershowitz and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism (he himself Jewish and son of Holocaust survivors). He was, in fact, precisely accused of being a Holocaust denier by Dershowitz, the ADL, and other pro-Israel parties. the essay linked by Finkelstein notes that "progressive" media outlets that claim to support free speech refused the piece. A "Holocaust denier" like him is supposedly the awful person disrespecting the humanity of the victims, not the parties who weaponize the Holocaust to support Israel and it's treatment of the Palestinians.

I guess Finkelstein being ratfucked out of tenure by everyone’s favourite pedophile lawyer definitely broke his brain, given how he’s devolved to the point that’s he’s recently been writing for literal neo-Nazi website and openly praising David Irving’s scholarship. Even without that context, I seriously can’t believe the “publicising ridiculous ideas is the only way of defeating them” is being seriously argued in a world where the Leader Of The Free World™ got to that position by being a racist conspiracy theorist. Basically, https://twitter.com/jewdas/status/1319399560939229185?s=21

It can hardly be deemed a breach of balance if a single professor devotes a single class of a single course to disputing the incessantly articulated consensus wisdom." "Even if you can marshal a mountain of supporting evidence, still, you can’t prefer your belief to that of Holocaust deniers if you refuse even to give them a hearing." "If a purported witness enjoys immunity from cross-examination—as does every Tom, Dick and Moishe pawning himself off as a “Holocaust survivor”—the human propensity is to exaggerate, which, if left unchecked, will harden into a lie" "It’s surely legitimate to debate whether the American Civil War was fought over states’ rights or slavery, or whether chattel slavery is better or worse than wage slavery." "If the integrity of the Jewish people’s martyrdom has been traduced, it’s overwhelmingly due, not to Holocaust deniers, but the machinations of Jewish organizations that have exploited the Nazi holocaust for financial and political gain... But the infinitely stupid, gullible, cowardly, posturing, opportunist—and, let it not be omitted, vanguardist-totalitarian—so-called Left won’t see this." No, I'm pretty sure Finkelstein's the idiot here.

Len posted:https://innersloth.itch.io/among-us/devlog/45204/pc-and-online-released Yeah, Among Us was kind of a dormant game that hit it big in 2020 not because of something to it, but because the developers released another game that had a couple Among Us nods; that got some streamers to look at the older game, which caused it to blow up.

A "Holocaust denier" like him is supposedly the awful person disrespecting the humanity of the victims, not the parties who weaponize the Holocaust to support Israel and it's treatment of the Palestinians. quote:Postscript: This article was submitted to multiple “progressive” publications touting a principled commitment to freedom of speech. It was rejected by all of them. It’s a telling commentary on the commitment of the so-called Left to freedom of speech that it not only supports suppression of Holocaust denial, but also suppression of rational discussion—based on the most elementary principles of free speech—of whether or not it should be suppressed.What most amuses is that, whereas this mindless Identity Politics pretends to be defending Jews against Holocaust denial, this outrageous suppression of free speech has nothing whatsoever to do with Holocaust denial. If the integrity of the Jewish people’s martyrdom has been traduced, it’s overwhelmingly due, not to Holocaust deniers, but the machinations of Jewish organizations that have exploited the Nazi holocaust for financial and political gain. Per usual, the Holocaust is now being exploited to further an altogether different agenda. Indeed, immediately as Facebook announced its decision to suppress Holocaust denial, the Board of Deputies of British Jews called on Facebook to also suppress “anti-Semitism” by adopting a definition of anti-Semitism designed to shield Israel from criticism. But the infinitely stupid, gullible, cowardly, posturing, opportunist—and, let it not be omitted, vanguardist-totalitarian—so-called Left won’t see this, just as it didn’t see that the attacks on Jeremy Corbyn had nothing to do with anti-Semitism. Who can forget the hideous spectacle of ever-progressive Mehdi Hasan teaming up with repellant Holocaust-monger Jonathan Freedland to denounce anti-Semitism in the British Labour Party?
