@Jakelafort – the ‘stopped clock’  cartoon in the current edition of the satirical Private Eye would agree with you 🙂

Some big No Trump protests today.

Crowd got something correct even if it is by accident. Kind of like Trump….gets something right occasionally by accident. Or when his self interest coincides with the right move.

I am not great at website dev. but I did a little digging.

To include a thumbnail, you have to use the embed code instead of the standard YouTube link, since only the HTML embed triggers the thumbnail preview. Unfortunately, WordPress restricts HTML for non-moderators, so only moderators can post embeds that actually render the video.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Following this post are several posts discussing the confusion with posting shorts successfully, that will include a copy of the thumbnail. I finally discovered that, after one pastes the short’s URL, all you have to do is change the word “shorts” in the URL to the letter “v”!

I also put this tip in the TIPS group, so if youtube…[Read more]

@Reg – I can view the link, but there’s no “youtube” image on the AZ page.

Enco,

Reg is funny and has precisely what is missing in the great majority. Not just intelligent and resistant to persuasion through popularity but an honest approach to issues that is ideal.

Meanwhile Israel is guilty of being above the fray in not wanting to justify itself. I get that. But it is really destructive. Israel needs a department…[Read more]

Simon and Unseen – I can view the link without any problems. I am viewing on a Windows 11 laptop (Winver 25H2) and using Firefox. The Frog protest against ICE in Portland.

No

Will it work if you Share it?  https://youtube.com/shorts/lVpaaTCAetw?si=_gv1RpU3rNqNubvC

Another thing.

As long as the world is fixated on Jews our world will be fucked up. Jews are a tiny insignificant minority relative to world population and yet it feels like they take up 95 percent of the social media and networks. That level of fixation is and can be only driven by ideology. By a powerful and enduring mind virus of hatred. If i…[Read more]

That horse i mentioned saw the winner’s circle. An equine indulgence by design.

“Real moral clarity requires evidence and consistency. Sympathy for Palestinian civilians is justified and necessary but it must never extend to justifying Hamas. Until the West can separate humanitarian concern from ideological indulgence, it will keep rewarding…[Read more]

Ah yes, of course Jake, how could I have been so blind? The benevolent freedom fighters of Hamas, guardians of justice, protectors of women’s rights, LGBTQ+ citizens, and interfaith harmony everywhere. Their tireless work in turning Gaza into a beacon of pluralism and technological innovation over the last 20 years with no help from Israel c…[Read more]

Reg,

I am gobsmocked by your lack of understanding. Such an aberration is hard to fathom. You’re ordinarily quite astute. So i will write this off as a one-off and educate you.

Don’t you know that Hamas is at the forefront of the resistance against the evil zionist entity? Those brave leaders are spearheading the resistance to all forms of…[Read more]

Ceasefires depend on both sides believing the other will abide by what they agreed to. The  track record isn’t great here. If Hamas remains in power and still armed, that undermines the logic of the ceasefire. They still don’t accept Israel’s right to exist. The Hamas Covenant of 1988 endorses an armed struggle until Israel is obliterated. It sof…[Read more]

Yes, they always do it publicly. How else can they win a free and fair election every 20 years.  Their god is great and their fan clubs in the West will continue to justify their support for them.
