Here’s a serious critique by Professor Norman Goda, a distinguished Holocaust historian, dissecting South Africa’s case of Genocide against Israel in the ICJ. I’m doing my best to stay agnostic but this is a pretty devastating legal and factual analysis

Mayor Eric Adams was a terrible, terrible, terrible choice for Mayor of New York City and it becomes more clear every single day with his cheap car salesman BS.

AI can’t be talented, or creative, or sincere, or unique. It will become so cheap and ubiquitous we will become accustomed to its lizardy omnipresence. Hopefully, instead of eradicating writers and artists, it will make us more valuable. Artisanal. Small batch.

Wonder when @harvardmed is going to start airbrushing my dad back into photographs? Awkward they didn't fully promote him academically to retaliate for his work on #cannabis & #psychedelics, both of which they are now pursuing with zeal, financial largess and enthusiasm...
Below, a clip of the father of prominent #cannabis advocate @Peter_Grinspoon, Dr. Lester Grinspoon, express how 3 years of intense research lead him to believe he was "brainwashed" on the dangers of MJ use.
His words made sense in 1995 just as much as they do today. $MSOS

As a former opiate addict, I know the dangers of the drugs. I also know BS and fearmongering and it doesn't work. The only way this country will ever tackle our drug problem is with proper healthcare, both mental and physical.

Former CNN staffer @sunny Hostin accurately accuses @cnn of journalistic malpractice, and her friend @andersoncooper of gaslighting her - and all of us.
Well done.

No, it's not CNN's job to "make news." It is CNN's job to report the truth. Getting this wrong threatens democracy. theguardian.com/media/2023/m…

I love Rushkoff.
The former techno-optimist has taken a decisive political left turn. He says it’s the only human option. trib.al/ATJ8L4S

And Cooper is dutifully carrying the water because he saw what happened to Lemon.

Interviewing a cult leader or even just a corrupt televangelist only enables their scam. They are very good at media manipulation. However, interviewing actual cult members or people who send their social security checks to televangelists is useful.
