BTW, the ADL is working with PayPal to demonetize hate groups.

It will backfire. Israel-supporting groups will be labeled as hate groups (hate of "Palestinians"), and groups that want to throw Israeli Jews into the sea will not.

The solution to hate speech is MORE SPEECH, not less. This backfires.

Years ago, I read about a Canadian feminist group that got porn banned as hate speech - then their own material was labeled as porn and banned.

OK, this is kind of spooky:

https://libraryofbabel.info/search.html

allegedly, this website is using an algorithm that generates pretty much every possible combination of letters in the English language, within the rules specified, so that any phrase that you enter will actually be found in a page of the “library“.

inspired by the Pablo Neruda story of the same name, of course.

Wow.

apparently the transcript of the Biden interview by Stephanopoulos reveals that Biden forgot which branch of the military his son Beau served in, and in which country.

Biden forgot something? I'm shocked! He has a brain like a magnet, no, maggot. That's it.

Mourner's Kaddish for Leonard or for our civilization?

They're lining up the prisoners and the guards are taking aim
I wrestled with some demons, they were middle class and tame
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim

You want it darker? We kill the flame
