Today's the day! I poured everything I've got into this book, and now, eight years after I started working on it, it is officially published! I'm so grateful for everyone who helped make this book a reality - and to all of you for your support for my work.

It's cool that they invented a website that allows you to experience Max von Sydow's encounter with unimaginable demonic evil at the beginning of The Exorcist every time you log on.

The latter implied that US and Israeli decision-makers just needed to understand the error of their ways, and so a too aggressive or "alienating" posture was counterproductive. That justified the choice to refuse solidarity with the protest movement. A catastrophic error.

The idea that it didn't matter if one saw it as an extermination campaign or as merely a legitimate war unjust in its harm to civilians (since both entail condemnation) is preposterous. We know that because people with different diagnoses in fact took different courses of action.

"Prematurely anti-genocide" is the new "prematurely anti-fascist".

If you only recently recognized that it is a genocide the appropriate response is not to insist that it has only recently become a genocide but to spend the rest of your life atoning for your failure of perception and compassion.

Damn I thought you all were joking but that Sydney Sweeney ad really does say "genes determine personality." Our culture is absolutely cooked.

You'll be shocked to learn that the guy who wrote this book ranking the most influential people of all time went Nazi.

The prospect of a Gen Z that overwhelmingly prefers Republicans to Democrats and also is overwhelmingly feels let down by Trump is genuinely terrifying.

A lot of his residual supporters seem to not even really know this happened. Wonder if it'll make the $10 million book.

Even more than the incessant weapons flows and refusal to demand a ceasefire, I think this has always been the most damning argument for Biden's personal complicity in the genocide. An act of mass starvation carried out directly by the U.S. federal government.

The US defunded the primary UN organization feeding the people of Gaza in Jan 2024 and no one batted an eye. They did it to help Israel use aid as a weapon of war. Now as the predicted famine arrives in full everyone is throwing their alibis together and it makes me fucking sick.

RT @OsitaNwanevu: The student protesters were obviously correct on Gaza. The reaction to them was obviously idiotic and depraved. We're pro….
