The PLO and Fatah both recognise the state of Israel and its right to exist, have given up armed struggle, and signed the Oslo Accords with Israel, accepting a peaceful political pathway to a two state solution.

I don’t think burying this and pretending it didn’t happen is helpful when Jews around the world are telling us right now that they are terrified and under attack

Why does Russia think anyone cares what it says at this point? Until the war ends, nobody is required to do anything for Russia.

Nothing but respect for my country deciding to impose economic sanctions on itself 🫡

I just basically finished Tears of the Kingdom. 150 hours, all shrines, almost all the armour, and pretty much all the side-quests done, plus the main quest. Probably my favourite game ever. Once my internet starts working again, I’m probably going to be playing Okami HD

I don’t think he’s completely wrong. A lot of people felt similarly. I know SkillUp felt similarly that if you had a really good PC and could overlook the (unforgiveable, admittedly) bugs, it had a lot going for it.

Yeah I’m waiting on a Switch version too. Looks super cool

I agree. I don’t want a small number of highly motivated individuals with grudges, vendettas, and ideological priors having that much power. Ban TheDonald type stuff, bots, etc. but otherwise be very careful

I’m on a Nothing Phone 1 which I can’t recommend highly enough especially given the price, though I’ll probably be updating day-one to the Nothing Phone 2 when that’s released early next month. The NP1 is more mid-range though.

Ban, defederate, whatever, I don’t mind the method – I do not want this server to have these “people” on our server and able to interact with/see us.

Definitely. About two years ago, I read Michel Houellebecq’s Soumission. And it’s still just sort of constantly in my head. I don’t read it as a kind of reactionary book at all – in fact it’s a strangely utopian book, pessimistic about the possibility of secular politics to rectify deep metaphysical questions in our societies, but strangely curious and probing about whether Islam could in fact at least answer them. The ambiguity at the heart of that novel still puzzles and interests me.

I should read it again…

Hahahaha, I can understand the cynicism.

I’ve put in 125 hours to Tears of the Kingdom though so maybe that’s restored some of my faith in what video games can be!

I’ve been going back and reading Freud’s Civilisation and its Discontents again. I still think it has some pretty profound wisdom about the nature of desire, conflict, violence, and what it takes to make civilisation possible!
