I love to remember about Godzilla. How important he is, how he is a poem. How Fucking loud he is

Their goal is routine disciplining of Israel critics but the reason they’re going scorched earth here is El-Sayed would be the first (what they index as) openly anti-zionist candidate to win a swing state. It completely nukes their “electability” line which is all they have left
Explain to me the AIPAC/Mr. Stevens endgame here? If Rogers wins and is god forbid the 49/50th vote for ICE camps & who knows what else they will be blamed! It will reduce their power in the Dem party even more. If Abdul wins anyway (which I expect) then they reveal themselves to be whining losers w no influence. It’s just one big temper tantrum that is serving to undermine their stated goals. Crazy.

The NBA is formally stepping into the prediction markets ecosystem.
The league announced agreements Monday morning with Kalshi and Polymarket that will allow the companies to use official league data and intellectual property and give the league control over what trades the companies are allowed to offer.

You ever just sit in a dark room and feel like the darkness is the only thing that truly understands you. No fake smiles, no false hope. Just raw bitter silence…

love this impassioned discussion of "Digger." differs not only in degree but in kind from the more narrow partisan quarrels over "The Odyssey."
it's hard to discuss anything online in the US since if you venture any criticism of a work of art you are identified with "hating" it; nuance seems unknown. so many things are either/or: you are for/against. in life, nothing is so simple. one might admire the originality & audacity of experimental art but also find some fault with it.
must all art be beautiful? must all music be Mozart? there are other music(s) & some of them crude, primitive, forceful, provocative & annoying. they may hurt the ear but stimulate the brain.
in academic circles the most protracted critiques are made against work that requires close scrutiny because it is important. when nothing matters much, no one objects.
especially in philosophy where the more depth to a subject, the more spirited the debate. & once there were poetry wars--crude vernacular upstarts of the 1950's vs. suave polished & rhyming verse of their older contemporaries.

Correction: I said Duel is halal, not gambling. Which is true, under the Islamic fiqh definition of qimar.
Gambling is absolutely haram under Islamic law. However Duel is the first and only casino in the world to offer zero edge, where the house doesn't have an advantage.
Gambling is considered bad due to its destructive tendencies caused by negative expected value in the long run. All four Sunni schools would agree that zero edge gambling, when combined with the entertainment factor, generate a net positive return, making it fall under Islamic investing laws rather than gambling.
Duel is extremely halal, you just don't know your own religion.
The Prophet accepted entertainment and relaxation as a material benefit (rawwiḥū al-qulūb sāʿatan baʿda sāʿah, روحوا القلوب ساعة بعد ساعة), if you bothered reading your own Quran. The Quran forbade a thing that breeds hatred and takes wealth. A fair, bounded game played for enjoyment does neither, and is explicitly halal if a faithful reading of Mohammed's texts is conducted.
I wouldn't expect you to understand or know any of this though, you can keep falsely calling people kaffirs and telling people Allah will burn in hell. Christ is King and your hatred will not overpower his Love.
