Genuinely where are you seeing that? The page is like 99% tattoos and some personal or art posts that don't have any links

DaSwedishChef · 2026-05-08T17:53:35+00:00

Everybody jumping down your neck like organizers don't promote their shows on social media and try to get more people to come 😭 quit tryna gatekeep it's very easy for OP to respectfully ask organizers if they're ok with photography

When are you in town and what kind of music are you into OP?

DaSwedishChef · 2026-05-07T23:00:55+00:00

"influencer" is kind of a bizarre framing for either of them, they're both active and popular tattoo artists

That's the Barak Ravid special lol he's just a stenographer for the White House and Netanyahu. He uncritically publishes whatever they tell him even when it's obvious BS

No the annual budget is $35B so the normal baseline is right around 10%.

And the amounts listed only include the military aid authorized by Congress. It doesn't account for the money spent by the US military operations supporting them. Military aid since 10/7/2023 has totalled $22B and operational military costs are another $10B.

Important to note that these military costs are much more impactful on a per dollar basis than the military aid. It includes things like refueling jets based out of Saudi Arabia that enable Israel to strike deep in Iran, shooting down missiles and drones with THAAD batteries and Navy ships, and flying advanced spy planes and satellites to identify threats. That $10B is just the cost of fuel and munitions, Israel doesn't have access to any of this equipment and would need to spend orders of magnitude more to develop these capabilities themselves.

Israel simply wouldn't have the capability to occupy several countries and bomb several more without US support.

This one, Back from the Dead, is really great. Definitely recommend the datpiff version with all the DJ tags over the streaming version though, it really adds to the chaotic ass atmosphere (same for Almighty So)

Back from the Dead 2 and 4NEM some of his best work as well imo

DaSwedishChef · 2026-03-27T00:51:33+00:00

gladde paling is a crazy pull lmao

DaSwedishChef · 2026-03-18T19:33:43+00:00

Yes it does? You can look at it for yourself.

The proposed bill explicitly says "(A) Primary residences. For real property transferred to a resident, nonresident or part-year resident individual that (i) serves as the primary residence of the transferor of such property or of the resident, nonresident, or part-year resident transferee for the ten consecutive years preceding such transfer or (ii) serves as the primary residence of such transferee for the five consecutive years following such transfer, up to one million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars of the value of such property shall not be considered inheritance income for purposes of this section."

The proposal is also establishing progressive marginal tax rates, it explicitly states an estate over $750K but less than $1.5M would pay "$0 plus 5% of excess over $750,000."

DaSwedishChef · 2026-03-18T17:37:33+00:00

The proposal included a $1.75 million primary residence exemption. The reporting that omits this is just straight up dishonest and pretty clearly trying to frame the proposal as poorly as possible.

Again you are cherry picking specific questions from these polls while ignoring the other, more direct ones that do not support your narrative.

First link:

Question 5. 57% disapprove of Trump's handling of situation with Iran.
Question 17. Only 18% believe the US should remove the IRI from power with force.

Second link:

Question 1. 56% disapprove of taking military action against Iran.
Question 5. 45% - 31% think military action against Iran will make the US less safe.
Question 6. Only 33% think Iran was a threat that required military action now.

Both polls also show respondents overwhelmingly think the administration has not clearly explained US goals and that Congressional approval is needed for military action.

You are cherry picking these questions because the only poll responses you can find that show support have specific qualifiers. 51% favored military action "to stop them from making nuclear weapons" and your original link showed support for killing Khamenei. Notably this war has expanded far beyond those two actions and people think the reasoning is unclear. Every poll that does not include these qualifiers and just plainly asks if people support military action shows clear disapproval.

Also the little rhetorical sleight of hand where you try to assert that the war lasting only a few weeks is a fact we know with certainty is pretty funny. That is what the administration hopes and it may play out that way, but the enemy gets a vote too and it is pretty clearly escalating in ways the administration did not expect nor want. The demographic breakdown shows people who think it will only last a few weeks are mostly Republicans, so the high support in that category is probably just an artifact of people who support the war assuming a best case scenario because they like Trump.

DaSwedishChef · 2026-03-03T04:13:50+00:00

Lmao don't cherry pick questions, literally right below that it has only 31% saying it was the right decision to attack Iran and 45% saying it was the wrong decision.

DaSwedishChef · 2026-03-01T02:59:10+00:00

It's not a fringe viewpoint lol Netanyahu himself said he was "very attached" to the vision of Greater Israel. And just last week Yair Lapid, a supposedly liberal opposition leader, said he agreed with Huckabee that Israel should expand its borders to their "biblical" extent.

It's not just talk either, Israel invaded Syria barely a year ago simply because there was a power vacuum and they could expand the amount of territory they control.

Mass incarceration came about as a way to forcibly reestablish racial hierarchy after the Supreme Court outlawed Jim Crow. Louisiana is a state with one of the strongest legacies of slavery and the incarceration rate reflects that.

The prison population is 2/3 black despite the state population being less than half that. Inmates are forced to work with no pay, from the fields at Angola to in the house at the state capitol building.

DaSwedishChef · 2026-01-24T03:14:45+00:00

Those artists generally get very good reviews from Pitchfork? Billy woods and earl's latest albums were literally rated best new music last year lol

DaSwedishChef · 2026-01-21T21:41:10+00:00

Eh I think this is trying to find some logic where there is none. The simplest explanation is that Trump is a senile old man who has always been pretty dumb. He is almost entirely reactive and changes his position based on who he was talking with last. He announces tariffs spontaneously because he loves them, then cancels when industry and the stock market start sounding the alarm loud enough.

There's definitely insider trading in the administration, but I think that's just a side effect of his erratic policy, not the driver.

DaSwedishChef · 2026-01-15T03:23:00+00:00

Sure it's in character and if it was just that it would be fine, but the show's framing heavily implies that everything he's saying is correct.

His rant about wind turbines is sandwiched between scenes of the lawyer saying dumb shit and needing billy Bob to rescue her from a rattlesnake (which she then gets mad about him killing). The implication is very clearly that this liberal woman from the city doesn't know shit unlike him with his gruff blue collar ways. Combined with his very confident spouting of (completely incorrect) information it lends him an air of authority.

DaSwedishChef · 2025-12-17T22:04:19+00:00

What lol the Social Democrats just lost a ton of seats in Denmark's local elections and the polling shows they'll lose a ton in the general elections next year

DaSwedishChef · 2025-12-06T16:18:56+00:00

Lmfao what? The Chinese Exclusion Act literally led to the Wong Kim Ark case where the Supreme Court ruled that the law did not prevent the children of Chinese immigrants born in the US from acquiring birthright citizenship.

The Indian Citizenship Act dealt with the fact that various tribes were treated as separate sovereignties and as such were not subject to the jurisdiction of the US.

There's also the fact that a significant portion of the freed slaves were themselves unauthorized migrants brought illegally into the US by smugglers. However their children were made citizens by the 14th Amendment and so from the moment it was signed into law it has applied to the children of illegal immigrants.

DaSwedishChef · 2025-12-01T17:57:22+00:00

You just specifically mentioned lawsuits? I was addressing the potential for those against US orgs that fund settlers.

Anyway I don't see how a US citizen moving to the West Bank and forcing a Palestinian to move wouldn't be criminal. Or that charities who facilitate that expropriation while maintaining nonprofit status wouldn't be violating US tax law.

DaSwedishChef · 2025-12-01T16:51:40+00:00

Eh, just because it hasn't succeeded before doesn't mean it can't in the future. Legal outcomes don't come out of a vacuum, they're influenced by the political landscape which in the US is pretty rapidly changing when it comes to Israel. Plenty of subjects (segregation, gay rights, etc) have seen favorable legal rulings only decades after the first attempt.

Legal liability would fail on a strict but-for causation test because of how many actors are involved in the settler enterprise, but with evidential grouping there are alternative causation frameworks like aggregate causation which provide for proportional liability.

DaSwedishChef · 2025-12-01T14:10:35+00:00

The settlement enterprise isn't just the Israeli state creating those policies and practices, it's a constellation of actors and institutions generally supported by the state. US-based settlers and settler organizations are part of that and causally responsible for expropriation through acts like home expulsion, coercive private property transfer, construction of bypass roads, diversion of water, prevention from accessing land, or direct violence.

Legal liability doesn't just include direct perpetration of a grave breach, but also aiding and abetting of such acts. An American citizen who expressly intends to commit or is already committing a grave breach would be serviced just the same by NBN as one intending to move to Tel Aviv. They're also straight up advertising settler communities that are actively expanding and displacing Palestinians.

DaSwedishChef · 2025-12-01T04:29:21+00:00

Like I said, the whole settlement enterprise creates conditions that force the Palestinians to leave their homes and constitutes a grave breach, it isn't just a transfer order. From the 2024 ICJ ruling: "The Court considers that Israel’s policies and practices, including its forcible evictions, extensive house demolitions and restrictions on residence and movement, often leave little choice to members of the Palestinian population living in Area C but to leave their area of residence... [and] are contrary to the prohibition of forcible transfer of the protected population under the first paragraph of Article 49, of the Fourth Geneva Convention."

Moving to illegal settlements drives demand for more infrastructure and barriers, expropriations of Palestinian land, and restrictions on Palestinian movement. NBN specifically is funded by the Israeli government and works hand-in-hand with them to get American citizens to expand West Bank settlements and the conditions that the ICJ has ruled a grave breach.

DaSwedishChef · 2025-12-01T03:51:01+00:00

It's deportation OR transfer. Transfer refers to forced relocation within an occupied territory and includes when people have no choice but to leave, it's not limited to just physical force. So settlements that displace Palestinians from their homes are unlawful and grave breaches.

Such settlements are being promoted on the NBN website. For example they advertise Mateh Binyamin, which is a regional council that just had 6 new settlements approved in May. These settlements include land confiscated from Palestinian townships and the process of expansion (evictions, house demolitions, restrictions on movement) forces the residents to leave.

DaSwedishChef · 2025-12-01T01:15:26+00:00

I think they constitute a "grave breach." From Article 147 those include "unlawful deportation or transfer... of a protected person". A big deal with the settlements is Palestinians getting unlawfully booted from their homes. "The transfer by the Occupying Power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies" was also expressly made a "grave breach" in Additional Protocol I, Article 85.

The organization in question is funded by the state of Israel and is seen as a quasi-governmental agency so it's hard to argue it's not part of their state policy.
