"A number of prominent columnists have resigned in protest from the Jewish Chronicle after allegations it printed articles about the Gaza conflict that were based on 'wild fabrications'."

Jennifer Rubin: Debates don’t matter. Except when they really do.
"fishing fleets have put out less bait than she did to reel in Trump"
"In sum, when one party lives in a hermetic information bubble cut off from reality and becomes consumed with weird conspiracies; when the media does a poor job of conveying the depths of one candidate’s depravity; when an incumbent president is excessively shielded from scrutiny; and when his replacement candidate suffers from biased, unfair and simply inaccurate coverage, a debate matters a whole lot.
In that sense, the debates this year should prompt some reflection about the oversights and missteps that allowed us to get this far without a full and accurate understanding of the candidates, not once but twice. We need a political environment that produces an informed electorate, even without an 11th-hour debate."

Reminded by @augustocc of the Captain Planet and the Planeteers TV show, which apparently first aired 34 years ago.
"Each episode is followed by at least one "Planeteer Alert" clip [...] which discusses environmental-political and social-political issues and how the viewer can contribute and be part of "the solution" rather than "the pollution"."
Now that's a show worth rebooting!

African people seeking political asylum in Israel are being pressured into participating in military service in Gaza. Once they complete their service most are not being given citizenship as originally promised.
Shocking 🙄

Just had time to catch up with the news. Before it gets lost in hue and cry about shots fired at the Trump golf course, I urge you to attend to the news of Chief Justice John Roberts’ unusual and aggressive efforts to protect Donald Trump from criminal prosecution. The New York Times broke the store, here nytimes.com/2024/09/15/us/just… (gift link) and the Daily Beast recaps it here flip.it/Wp7VPv .
The reporting doesn’t quite capture the significance of what Roberts did. 1/

> They need to start charging folk with sedition. They should've addressed this already with the congress and senate
Here be dragons. I think it's important to qualify this kind of statement by saying that all politicians and officials must be subject to the rule of law, regardless of their affiliations. Otherwise you're in danger of sounding like the swivel-eyed loons calling for Nuremberg trials for politicians and officials whose decisions they disagree with.

Recently watched the movie The Fall Guy. LOVED IT! It's a very Jackie Chan style comedy action film. One of the songs they play in the sound track is by The Darkness. This band is sooo Spinal Tap for real. Anyway, I'm putting this link up especially for @Christoph S, since we were talking about it, and I think he would like it.
