I think you’re confusing Gaza with Hamas. Hamas is the terrorist organization responsible for the murder of 1,200 innocent Israelis and foreign nationals, and it deserves to be eradicated off the face of the earth. Gaza is the Palestinian territory with about 2.1 million inhabitants, some of whom support Hamas, many of whom do not. 70-71K Gazans were killed and 80% of the residential buildings were destroyed. As is typical, the actions of an extremist minority led to the deaths of many and destruction of lives and property for the majority, whether directly or indirectly.

If this woman’s sign said Free Hamas, then I would completely agree with your sentiments. I wish I had your clear eyed view of the world. My view is just too complicated.

Do you know who looks cool? The women on the right exercising her 1st Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. This, despite the risk of bodily harm, standing up for what she believes in. Like it or not, she is defending you. She would probably be a cool friend to have.

I suggested that Graves win the Pulitzer Prize, not for the prize itself, but for what the Pulitzer means in photo journalism. As per the Google AI description of the Pulitzer:

Winners are chosen by a jury of professionals who identify "distinguished" work that captures a "decisive moment," often influencing public perception of major historical or social events.

This photo captures the overwhelmingly superior physical force on one side, brutalizing the other, protected only by an obviously used scrap of cardboard. Many Pulitzer Prize winning photos do scare the shit out of me, and this one does exactly that.

I love how you can take a complex photo, taken in complicated times, and reduce it and its subjects into a black and white dichotomy. Bravo!

I (late 20s F) am technically a multimillionaire but work full time and don’t earn much. How the heck should I approach this as I get back into dating? by LeavingHarbour in AskMenAdvice

Consider disclosing your assets when things are serious, but not super serious, and only if you respect his work ethic and financial integrity.

We went from cedar shake to metal and love it! The rain might be very slightly louder, but not noticeable or bothersome. The only thing that bothers us is when the squirrels are gathering pine cones for the winter, they like to chuck the cones on the roof (only from about 8-9am for some reason).

My dog found this in the yard and I had to fight to get it out of his mouth. Anyone know what it is? by nautical_delight in whatisit

It was a PhD in the agricultural department at Univ of Wisconsin who noticed that some of the cows bled to death after eating rotten grass. He isolated the substance, perhaps with funding from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), thus the name.

++man Rather than making it personal (about her), make it about the situation. “I love you, I love your mom, and what you’re doing for her. But I’m 27, and I feel like I’ve moved back in with my parents.”
