No shit, Sherlock.

Israel is seriously losing the plot. And possibly it’s grasp on reality.

Don’t they have a super right-wing government right now? This kind of frothing at the mouth sure sounds like it.

I mean, I do understand him saying: “don’t cut off water and power to over a million civilians, because it will be counterproductive in the long term”.

But what he should really be saying is “don’t cut off water and power to over a million civilians because that’s fucking evil”.

How did we get to this position where no leaders of the West will stand up and call this out for what it is?

I understand it’s a complex situation, but treating an entire people like they’re subhuman is morally unacceptable. And I can’t fucking believe that the sodding Israelis - of all people - don’t know this.

Please please please please do so

Honestly, in this post-truth world … I don’t believe a freaking word of it …

Man, if I could upvote this comment more than once I would.

Expresses my sentiments exactly.

I visited Israel years ago - shortly after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin - and remember coming across a class (girls, around 7-8 years old) out on a school trip … and they had 3 guys carrying assault rifles to protect them. And I remember thinking: “whatever it is you’re fighting for … isn’t worth it if you have to live like this”

And sadly I think it’s only got worse since that time.

Very interesting! I visited Lisbon a month ago for a couple of days (yes I know I was part of the problem!) and I’ve rarely seen a city more overrun by tourists … definitely worse than Barcelona and probably on a par with Venice.

It didn’t feel like a city where normal people live and work (and we went quite far afield). Pretty sorry to see it in this state I hope they manage to sort it out.

Well, what a surprise!

Man I wish we hadn’t all fallen for the “don’t be evil” motto all those years ago.

This move from Google is utter, utter bullshit.

Dear God!

Always fully open! More airflow, less stuffiness. Having said that, we don’t share a home with anyone else.

Jesus. We’re fucked.

Even if the former Twitter engineers were working on Threads - so what?

I have had to demonstrate relevant skills and experience for every job I’ve ever applied for (beyond junior/trainee). This is just how the world works.

It’s almost like Musk doesn’t understand how enormously normal it is to use skills and experience gained in one job when you go to the next one.

And it’s not like Twitter has special IP - it’s a fairly straightforward system; the only difficulty is scale which Meta will already know all about.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read in ages. Bring on the cage fight!!

Greggs.

Couldn’t agree more. The reason I came here was to get away from the algorithm driven inanity of big social.

And I can’t help feeling that the only reason Meta wants to federate Threads is to kill the threat of the fediverse off.
