Yeah, I’ve been having the occasion trouble with Thunder as well and I’m not sure why. It just seems very random.

It also runs like shit.

Honestly a lot of these are weird. Like there are definitely more famous French paintings than Impression, Sunrise.

The timing on this was just atrocious for Polanski. We’re still firmly in the Burnham honeymoon and the Zionism motion being the dominant story about the Greens; he was just delt a bad hand here.

Beacon is a boarding school so I’d imagine that the facilities would be shared and separate from the dorms themselves and that would include a kitchen with a shared fridge/freezer and a personal, lockable cupboard.

Speitan has not responded to the BBC’s request for comment. The Telegraph reported that when it asked her if she remained friends with Pham, she replied: “Yes, it’s still the case.”

She was reported as saying she believed Pham had been “targeted” by “the system”.

Wild thing to say when he pleaded guilty.

True, true, mustn’t pigeonhole them. You’ve almost got to respect the effort it takes to make godless Calvinism from first principles.

I hate living in the timeline where the options of Harry Potter sex cultists matter.

Also, WOULD

Why are you repeating yourself

You’re right and I’d bet the people there would have silly names like ‘Burn Ham’.

You must have not read it very well then:

Palestinian-Israeli Relations and the Peace Process: Support for the two-state solution stands at 44%, while 50% oppose it—virtually unchanged from ten months earlier. Yet support for a specific two-state formula based on the 1967 borders is considerably higher, at 56%, including 61% in Gaza. Confederation receives 14% and a single democratic state with equal rights 10%. At the same time, 58% believe the two-state solution is no longer practical because of settlement expansion, and 64% see little or no chance of an independent Palestinian state emerging within five years.

You’ll notice that the 44% (and 56% with 1967 borders) support for a two state solution is significantly more than the 10% for a single state with equal rights. You’ll also notice that the above exert says mostly the same thing as that Pew Research poll you linked.

But yeah, accuse me of lying about what Palestinians believe by providing a source that asks a different question. ‘Do you want a two state solution’ vs ‘do you think a two state solution is realistic’ are not the same question, nor is the latter evidence that Palestinians want a one state solution like you originally claimed.

What evidence do you have that a single democratic state is more popular than a two state solution among Palestinians? Most of the polling (like this) I’ve seen says Palestinians favour the two state solution over other solutions.

You sound like a massive Zionist. Or as the Green party correctly stated: a racist.

Zionism is when you think the shape of Palestinian statehood should be decided by people in Palestine and not Brighton. Deeply unserious accusation.

An obligation to try to force Israel into a proper peace process sure, but not to impose its preferred form of government on the people there.

The GPEW has supported those for a while, they even reaffirmed their committent to both in 2024 when they voted to recognise Israel as an apartheid state.

This motion does do some good things, like calling for Palestinian prisoners to be released and de-prescribing Palestine Action. Here’s the full motion if you’re interested (the important part isn’t too long), I’d link to it directly but you need to be a party member to see it. There was some amendments proposed, but the only one that past was removing some commitments in other documents to pursuing a two state solution – which I think is equally absurd position for the GPEW to have.

This whole motion has taken so much of the oxygen in the party and all it will materially do nothing. Like I do think racism is an integral and inseparable component of Zionism, but I just don’t think this motion has or will do any good.

The fact Amendment 3 was voted down is seriously damning. The organisers of this motion say they don’t intent for this motion to be used to target Jewish members, but the fact putting this into writing got voted down is concerning and just plain looks bad optically.

This also commits the Greens to a political settlement (single state) that the majority of Palestinians don’t want, which makes this line from the synopsis all the more baffling:

[This motion] further affirms the right to self-determination and liberation of the Palestinian people and supports the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian State in all of historic Palestine.

Why is an English/Welsh party deciding what self-determination for Palestinians looks like, especially when it goes against the opinions of Palestinians actually living in Palestine?

AT Proto is a terrible base for a chat app. There’s a reason Bluesky’s DMs aren’t stored in your PDS. Hell, even your bookmarks (which are stored in your PDS) are off protocol.

Does anyone else find the font on this uncomfortable to read is that just me?

Yeah, I’m not sure either tbh. I can think of quite a few things that make a name forgettable (eg noun of proper noun), but I can’t think of anything that would make a name memorable other than it just being memorable.

Just as an aside, but I will push back on portal being an uncommon word. It’s more common than chess.

geneva_convenience is still doing the ‘combating antisemitism is Jewish supremacy’ thing?

Relevant Tom Scott video.

Edit: VNs also tend to use pretty large fonts for English in my experience.
