Harvard condemns student and faculty groups for posting antisemitic cartoon
  • I can see how the cartoon is inappropriate. A Star of David references Judaism as a whole. It paints an entire religion as the perpetrators of bad acts that can only reasonably be laid at the feet of Netanyahu's Israeli government. An Israeli flag might be more appropriate, but it would still be painting ordinary Israeli citizens with too broad of a brush.

    On the flip side, the military controlled by Nethanyahu's government seems to be painting all Gaza citizens as targets, regardless of affiliation with Hamas or lack thereof. This stance sucks and is evil.

    Killing innocent people like Hamas and Israel have is a clear ethical failure. Fomenting culture-wide hatred of a group in a way that encourages future killing of innocent people like Hamas and Israel have is also an ethical failure.

    Harvard was right to condemn the cartoon, but there is no real good guy here.

  • i'll just watch
  • I'd be worried about me freaking out, causing the horse to freak out and stomp me to death. This thought itself would of course (of course) increase the chance of me freaking out about the horse.

  • White House says it does not back Ukraine attacks inside Russia
  • The US may not back them, but it certainly doesn't condemn them either. This is the tightrope that has been walked between the nuclear-armed parties of interest since the beginning of the conflict.

  • That one Freshman in Calc class.
  • The Amish have been steadily moving west since they arrived at Ellis Island in 1800. It's just taken most of them this long to get to Ohio with their approved devil-free transportation.

    In another 200 years they may make it as far as Idaho.

  • How far from a forest fire do you have to be for a daily temperature record to count?

    > There have been some impressive (and scary) temperature records set in the past couple weeks. That said, there are parts of Canada that are currently on fire that likely have a daily temperature in the hundreds of degrees. Clearly that doesn't count for any sort of temperature record. What I'm wondering is: where's the dividing line? How far away from a big fire do you have to be to record a valid daily temperature?
