  • There is a two-way misinformation issue right now that really complicates things. If you legitimately criticize Zionism, the pro-Israel side accuses you of antisemitism, which is bullshit. However, actual antisemites are using the word “Zionist” as a proxy term for “Jew”, and exploiting he current climate against Israel to spread classical antisemitic narratives. The result is a mix of honest “Zionism motivates human rights abuse against Palestinians” statements, and dishonest “Zionists control the world” statements.

    When Jews and their allies attempt to counter antisemitism masquerading as anti-Zionism, their legitimate criticisms are treated like pro-Israel gaslighting. One of the most egregious examples of this happened in Seattle, where the Wing Luke Museum hosted a “Confronting Hate Together” exhibit featuring contributions from different ethnic communities in the city.

    They kicked the Jewish group out because they said "Today, antisemitism is often disguised as anti-Zionism,” and said “pro-Palestinian groups have voiced support for Hamas” (both issues that affect the non-Zionist Jewish community, and that I have personally witnessed).

    Worse yet, the museum defended their decision saying that the Jewish group conflated anti-Zionism with antisemitism and excluded Palestinian, Arab and Muslim perspectives. The thing is, they didn’t say all anti-Zionism was antisemitism, they said that antisemitism can be disguised as anti-Zionism. That’s true. And why would the Jewish group be obligated to include Arab and Muslim perspectives? Why are they required to answer for this conflict in this way just for being Jewish? Were there no Arab and Muslim groups invited to participate in this exhibit?

    The Jewish group did their own exhibit somewhere else (so much for confronting hate together), and the Wing Luke Museum director resigned.

    If folks would actually learn what Zionism is and criticize it with clarity, this kind of thing wouldn’t be an issue. Increasingly, the people using “Zionist” as a pejorative are just using it as a blanket term for “Jews I disagree with”, and that is really fucking shitty.




  • I have IPv6 at home, at work, on my phone, and my hotspot. I have them on my websites and servers. IPv6 is everywhere for me. I use it all the time. Most people do and don’t even realize it.

    IPv4 still reigns supreme on a LAN, because you’re never going to run out of addresses, even if you’re running an enterprise company. IPv6 subnets are usually handed out to routers, so DHCPv6 can manage that address space and you don’t need to know anything unless you’re forwarding ports on IPv6.

    For the Internet, just use hostnames. There’s literally zero reason to memorize a WAN address when it could be an A/AAAA record.








  • As far as I can tell, The Harris/Walz campaign hasn’t officially responded to this endorsement. Are you getting mad about stuff that hasn’t even happened?

    Believe it or not, the Harris/Walz campaign doesn’t orchestrate endorsements. Anyone can endorse a candidate with or without that candidate’s knowledge, permission, or acknowledgement.

    Harris may be getting the endorsement of old-school/moderate Republicans, but Trump has the endorsement of extremist/far-right Republicans and Neo-Nazis.

    If you can’t pick a side here, that’s entirely your own moral failure.
