Pretty sure we saw that with Luigi too

I haven’t seen any of them praising the assassination of Palestinians though.

Where are these liberals? I’m only seeing celebrations or “I don’t condone but in this case I don’t care either” for the fascist getting shot.

Or were you hearing them condemn gun violence for the school shooting that also occurred today?

Both the schools I went to and the schools I have taught at had landlines in the classroom, as well as some in the lounge and the main offices. They were all real big on parent teacher communication so that might have been a reason why.

Lol it could be one of those logical fallacies where I just noticed that all the classrooms I’ve been in had them and assumed that was the majority of the case and you did the opposite. We need a nationwide poll to sort this out. Priorities.

Most teachers have a desk phone that is wired into their system. It should be a landline. Some schools are moving away from those and using virtual phone systems through teams and other apps but physical phones are still pretty common.

It depends entirely on how districts implement it since there wasn’t clear guidelines other than “not in use in the classroom” which could mean just kept in their backpacks.

Also, classrooms should generally have a wired phone for parent teacher communication and the teacher will still have their phone.

Is it apple only? Would love it on my droid if it’s available.

Gah, what a great movie for a myriad of great actors. Prequels to Wash (Tudyk), King Baratheon (Addy), and Vision (Bettany)

I think you mean Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein

I think of Vanessa playing the piano.

Florida already passed a ban that focuses on state owned or leased property like government buildings and state parks in 2023. Those are public restrooms.

Are Trans men allowed in female bathrooms or are they now banned due to being male presenting?

If they are banned, then that is depriving the public of access to public facilities which their taxes pay for and the end result being a violation of their rights.

If they are not banned, then the original intent of the ban is bullshit and clearly a move to target a subset of the population and make public spaces less hospitable, which I would argue violates their civil rights to enjoy public spaces without harassment.

Trump and Co also put pressure not to allow a deal during the Biden admin so that there wouldn’t be any shared credit. Netanyahu and the Israeli government went along with it because they thought they could get a better deal and so far that looks to be the case considering there hasn’t been any pushback since they violated the ceasefire that was in place and escalated the genocide in the last few months including blocking all aid since shortly after Trump took office. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-ceasefire-hostages-netanyahu-ff48f081b069e484955a72bc68261364

Miss me with that revisionist history.

It wouldn’t be “using every option available” but that doesn’t equal “working tirelessly”.

Words matter especially in this era of misusing words to pretend something else is occurring.

It would be a lie if they said they tried every avenue possible, but they didn’t. They did try with less effective strategies and they should be lambasted for their ineffectiveness but not for “lying they were working tirelessly”. Those are two different standards.

While it is a piece of evidence, there is nothing concrete to support it leading to: Biden and White House lied about cease fire efforts.

It could also be used to say: Biden and White House could have applied more pressure … if they wanted to lose influence in the negotiations.

You were absolutely allowed to call him out during the election and after. Just use actual evidence that supports the claim you’re making. Not “one former ambassador said “they never said “stop, right now”” which means they lied about trying at all”. There were clearly attempts to stop the genocide, though they likely didn’t go as far as they should have.

And we also know about the aid that was sent to Gaza against the protests of Israel. We also know about the majority of obstruction coming from Netanyahu. I’m not saying they did a great job, but to say that they were outright lying about even trying to stop it is disingenuous, and seems pretty clearly a way to detract from the current situation.

What claims? Again that article describes Biden and the admin of being frustrated with Netanyahu and some of his ministers. It also lays out how Biden and the admin were trying to negotiate and create pressure to force Netanyahu out through elections.

You have one quote from one former ambassador with no supporting evidence.

Even that would indicate that there was no ultimatum of “ceasefire or else” given, but still leaves open the “hey this is a bad idea and you’re only going to cause death and genocide and force more people to support your opposition”.
