He can continue talking about the Department of Injustice, accuse the Biden administration of whatever.
(She wrote 3 pages to explain because the issues are difficult. It isn't a slam dunk in the Shut Him Up already' department)
I think it's solid. If I were appealing it, I could find a few nitpicks, but not much.

remember:
.0009 of 1% of the US population was killed on 9/11
.0150 of 1% of the Israeli population was killed by the Hamas raid
relative to the populations, this had about 16 or 17 times the effect upon Israeli society. now think about the US (over) reactions after 9/11 which we now regret. I hope they are wiser, but fear they are not.
if you cheer the targeted deaths of civilians, no matter who those civilians might be, then I'd say you have a serious values problem.
if the Israelis get maneuvered into a reactive spiral and fail to look for a route to peace, then it is civilians who will pay the price. again.
if the Palestinians get maneuvered into a spiral of unethically violent action and fail to look for a route to peace, then it is civilians who will pay the price. again.
as Winston Churchill is reputed to have said: “Let no good crisis go to waste.” the Palestinian Authority & the Israeli government might do well to both ponder that idea.

Sendfor making data available to another thread. ThatSendis a fictional operation that is imagined only for the sake of type checking.Data "sent" to other threads doesn't actually need to go anywhere, because all threads share the same memory.
There can be copying involved when data is passed by value using channels. This isn't because of threads, this is because channels are like a
Vec:vec.push()on one thread, andvec.pop()on another. If youBoxthe data, it won't be copied. If you use scoped threads and borrow the data instead, it won't be copied either.

one small consequence of free transit that I find interesting, though others may find sorta tautological: no fare evasion. everybody on the bus is an equally "valid" passenger, and that feels a little different!

visiting raleigh right now and the buses are all free of charge (and have been since 2020). it's not a great transit city! but free buses have had some real nice knock-on effects, and it's such a nice simplification for me as a visitor

Hey Seattle! There's a good #progressive candidate running for the City Council seat in D1, Maren Costa, a climate activist. We talked with her on the phone, and she seems to be for all the right things: housing homeless, holding police accountable, investing in public transport.
You know what to do: vote if you're in #Seattle D1, donate if you're anywhere in US (especially if in or around Seattle), spread the word if you're anywhere in the world.
