  • What is the TV’s shadow? It seems like a pair of legs standing on a box and a small floating rectangle.

    The book, meanwhile, looks like a convoluted mess. Crashing spaceship, T-Rex/Godzilla, and what might be Dracula’s castle. If there’s a coherent story in this, I have got to read it. Book title? :P



  • Yeah, perhaps they did. As it happens, I wasn’t using a VPN, but I do pay for one so I tried it. VPN to Germany -> site loaded. VPN to Israel -> same error. They literally just blocked the whole country using cloudflare… The country where most of the people they claim to have solidarity with live, and where presumably they’d want their message to be heard the most. Unless, maybe, it’s just a propaganda site that doesn’t actually care about Palestinians and instead has some other agenda? Hmmm…





  • Most large tech companies have offices in Israel. Israel positioned itself as a “high-tech nation” to a huge degree, and there’s tons of engineering talent here that companies rightly want to hire and capitalize on.

    Whether that makes these companies “supporters” of Israel is up to your interpretation, I guess, but it’s more likely to just be the smart move without any political agenda. Not to mention that they’ve had offices here for years and years, well before Israel’s recent wars and plummeting of their international image. At that point the company already had lots of its workforce here and closing down offices would have been a shot in the leg.
