She’s just lying. Joanne also claimed she didn’t know she had written a fantasy book until after the first Harry Potter was published.
She likes to pretend she was never influenced by anyone or any work, and came up with everything all on her own.
Unlike the Houthis, they’re away from home with few creature comforts.
The US Navy sailed half way around the world, enforced a blockade meant to starve out the Houthis (participated in a genocide), provided the planes and munitions to the Saudis to bomb them, and now are doing the bombing themselves to aid a different genocide.
And they complain about not having enough treats while doing it.
What a blood boiling video. A perfect little island size microcosm of the evils of capitalism and imperialism.
I think Israel fully expects the US to commit forces to a fight against Hezbollah and bail them out, especially if it looks like they might lose. Despite some PR hand-wringing, Biden has been fully behind Israel so far and seems like a true believer in the zionist project. I could see how they’d do the math and see this as their best shot to get the US to fight Hezbollah for them.
I wouldn’t make that bet with how the Ukraine war is going, but who knows?
From his coverage of the Israeli argument:
While the court was in session, Germany has announced it will intervene in the substantial case to support Israel. They argue explicitly that, as the world’s greatest perpetrator of genocide, they are uniquely placed to judge. It is in effect a copyright claim. They are protecting Germany’s intellectual property in the art of genocide. Perhaps they might in future license genocide, or allow Israel to continue genocide on a franchise basis.
Roboquest! It’s a roguelite shooter. Fast paced game play, good balance, music is all bangers, and a bright, Borderlands-ish art style. I’m addicted.
I’m really looking forward to Esoteric Ebb. It’s billing itself as Disco Elysium in 5e which is very much my shit.
