    Also Brown definitely wouldn’t have been the first to enforce faux tradition.

    That shit has existed forever and the more meaningless, the more militant.

    Ketchup on hotdogs. Folded pizza. Seafood with red wine.

    All said with more authority yet far less evidence than anything Alton Brown ever said.




  • Harris chose to do something immoral because “it was the law”, or it benefited her, or whatever - and you can expect her to continue doing that.

    You still have to vote for her, but you also have to be realistic about who you’re actually voting for.

    Republicans are the party who holds their candidates up without criticism - and Dems put up Kamala now exactly because Democrats were criticizing Biden - and even though she’s one of the worst candidates they’ve put up in years, she’s still far more electable than Biden.

    So yes. You need to both vote for and criticize Harris. It’s the least immoral choice.

    “Now Jimmy, make sure you wait for a full year of bombing and spend a few thousand dollars adjusting the timing of this satellite to get exactly comparable images so someone on the internet who vaguely heard about manipulative photo techniques, but is fine with ignoring the realities of actually taking the photos, can’t nitpick an image of very clear destruction.”

    EDIT: And let’s just drive this home: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2024/08/27/satellite-imagery-shows-vast-destruction-in-rafah/

    The differences between 2023 November and 2024 April are due to lighting, and it’s plain to see the buildings are still there even with lighting differences.

    Between 2024 April and August nearly everything left of the red line is gone. It’s not some trick of the light or sand - you can clearly see the other buildings right of the line.

    You’ve tried to deflect by saying people are missing the point and you agreed there is destruction - but no one said that. They said that your two points, that the destruction was not as bad as the images suggest, and that the images are intentionally misleading are both false.

    And they are both false.
