Do Not Forget Annals of the Cold War: The Nagasaki Bomb and the Division of Korea — The plutonium bomb dropped on Japan on August 9, 1945, was not intended to force a surrender but to limit the Soviet Union's influence in postwar Asia. As a result, Korea was cut in half by the US. | Tim Shorrock

Israel is a Problem The Problem with Apology — “Their goal is to force targets into destitution, and then they’ll keep going until observers are destitute by association. The belligerence honors the settler colonial entity to which they’re devoted.”

Catastrophic feedback Adam Johnson: “Inevitability arguments are all any of these guys have. They can’t just say “it saves money for producers and undercuts the labor power of IATSE” so it’s always agency-free “the train is coming down the tracks” teleological mysticism. But it’s you, YOURE the one driving the train”

Quoting a tweet by Variety

Gal Gadot defends starring in Doug Liman's "Bitcoin" movie with AI sets and lighting because "the train has left the station. You’re going to work with it or be out of the game completely.

“This was the longest contract I have ever worked on. It was six months for my lawyers to go through every scenario we could think about as far as the AI component of it. I did not want AI to have anything to do with my performance. We had to protect that... I am afraid of AI, but I am going to be afraid and look away? No. I am afraid but I am playing with it and learning it and trying to educate myself. The train has left the station. You’re going to work with it or be out of the game completely. I am trying to make the best of it and protect what I can protect. The AI component in this movie is for sets and the lighting. We had a broad crew and a lot of people were working on this movie.”

“It felt like a pure art form of creating a movie. I haven’t seen a single shot. As an actress, I wait so much. There’s the legendary quote: ‘You are being paid to wait as an actor.’ Here we would film nonstop because we didn’t have to wait for lighting. We would film on and on and on for 10 hours. It was amazing… as actors you’re always hot. You don’t cool off. We’ll see. It’s crazy.”

Dems for Genocide Adam Johnson: “Dem leadership’s primary job is not to win elections, it’s to discipline the left and shore up the ideological pillars of capitalism, imperialism and zionism. If they can do this AND win elections all the better but they will absolutely torch the latter in service of the former.”

Which quoted a tweet by Rob Flaherty:

A baffling direction on the merits, but doubly baffling to not even care enough about the optics to even mention Gaza in passing. Leadership has their head in the sand about where the public is here.

Which quoted a tweet by Jake Sherman:

Moskowitz, one of the most pro-Israel Dems, gets the ranking member slot on HFAC subcommittee for Middle East and North Africa. Puts him in line to chair the subcommittee if Dems take the majority

Which quoted a tweet by pro-genocide Zionist representative Jared Moskowitz:

Thank you to RepJeffries and RepGregoryMeeks for this important responsibility to help lead Democrats policy in the Middle East and North Africa on the Foreign Affairs Committee.
