There's this app that can make deepfake nudes....

I usually turn the keyboard upside and shake it first, then use the duster.

Basically, demand Israel to stage a coup then? Netanyahu can stop without it being a coup. It would be policy turnaround, but not a coup. Hell, all he'd have to do is call off the attack, and call an election, then step down. That's like, what, a 30 minute press conference? Yep. That's all has to d...

Deny them support for their genocide. All they have to do is stop attacking Gaza and their neighbours, problem solved. Problem solved for Gaza. It would not address the systematic oppression of Arabs within Israel proper - see West Bank and Settlers. Such oppression occurs in other parts of Israel ...

The Tesla cybertruck takes 5 hours to reboot after a carwash and comes with instructions to not wash it in direct sunlight https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-no-match-for-car-wash-1851417011 What a fucking useless vehicle. Of course, Elon probably has "people" who can take care of his,...

As I saw someone say a little while ago, the fact that the notoriously thin-skinned and aggressive government of Israel, a country known to install malware in nuclear power plants for funsies, hasn't retaliated yet lends credence to the idea that their leadership believes Iran has shown they can cr...

I don't think Israel will appreciate it either way. We'll just have to wait til after Passover to see what they do. Protesters for the Jewish hostages held in Gaza are using the Moses-quote "Let my people go!" in slightly modified form against Netanyahu & Co. Passover is all about tha...

You clearly haven't met the US "Chaos Caucus" in Congress. There's a small but vocal group in the House who want to completely cut off Ukraine from any aid whatsoever and are one vote away from removing the current Speaker (again!) which would bring all work in that half of Congress to a s...

It's getting to the point that Israel should STFU and go home.

America bitching to Ukraine would be hilarious if it wasn't life-or-death, what are they going to do, stop supplying Ukraine? Whether or not anyone likes it American elections are decided by things like oil prices. If they get to high it will favor Trump winning. Trump as PotUS will not be a good t...

The YouTube channel Tasting History has done some recipes from The Forme of Cury and touched on the spice issue. Some of the "simpler" dishes - beans, cheese-based, etc. - would have had peasant equivalents, or perhaps one should regard the recipes in the books as more upper-class versions...

True, but I have zero information on the response of Iraq to all this. If you have anything please share.

So, Iran hit Israel with a drone and missile strike...and it was ineffectual. Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile defense is generally considered to be both the best in the world and best in history. Iran had to know that most, if not all, of their barrage was going to be shot down. There's a lot of wa...

An internet acquaintance on another forum who lives in Israel is reporting air raid sirens going off in Israel now. The Iron Dome has been blowing some stuff up. So... the start of this is arriving in Israel. I guess all we can do is wait and see.

Having lived through pretty much the entire saga from football star to movie guy (I question if what he did could be called "acting" but he did a decent cameo) to pitchman to wife beater to slow-mo car chase to accused murderer to convicted thief... can't say I'm really interested in watch...

Am I the only one watching?

Dupe

Good riddance to rubbish. No tears shed.

Unfortunately I expect that you are correct given the power amassed by the death-cult Armageddon-lusting so-called "Christians" who love the notion of Israel at war.

Why the fuck does Netanyahu's government think they can attack Iran and NOT have consequences? Oh, right - Israel has a right to defend its interests but no one else does. Motherfuckers.

Don't many nations in Europe ban Nazi parties? Meaning Nazi-like folks have to come up with different names for more or less the same thing. The US is a bit of an outlier for allowing the existence of parties that openly call for the destruction of the current government, such as Neo-Nazi parties an...

Oh, it's worse than that - there was a rash of videos on the internet claiming that the properly protective glasses were actually harmful/part of the conspiracy to control people/etc. and encouraging people to look at the eclipse without protection.

You can't fix stupid.

So... you're saying at this point the people of Ukraine have a choice between the dictatorship of Vladimir Putin or the dictatorship of Zelenskyy? That is most unfortunate for them. Of course, there is the issue that Zelenskyy is at least somewhat motivate to NOT massacre Ukrainians by the boatload ...

Man. Is someone suggesting that the Ukrainian population collectively wants to surrender to Russia as opposed to keep fighting? Because I feel like that is being implied but not said. I hear that from people from time to time, implying somehow that most of them are being forced to keep fighting whe...

Because there is reason to believe that after a Russian take over of Ukraine the subsequent "purge" of elements Russia doesn't like would result in a blood bath of political and ethnic cleansing and the suppression of Ukrainian language, culture, history, and identity as the children are f...
