More strange and/or foul reactions

Ta Nahisi Coates visited Palestinian territories expecting to need to study and observe and think deeply about the situation, but was struck by how obvious the immorality of the situation was. Why is he wrong?

I first thought the guy on the left was a woman, without paying close attention. But the aggression was the tell, even more than the voice or the subsequent closer look.
It’s always something.

I thought so too. But the body language was also unmistakably that of a man who has no physical capacity to back up the tone of voice.

Hilarious.
Writing is simultaneously less sophisticated, but funnier and far more aware than anything SNL has done in the past decade.
Please love yourself.

You meant "century."
Also, I didn't find it "funny" in a SNL sense of "funny." I found it a bit disturbing in the sense that is reveals how ignorant these asshats are.
But, kudos to SNL for having the balls to air this.
I wonder what the pushback will be.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Fafo. Principles should have consequences. First time in either of those two’s lives that a principle had a consequence. They didn’t like the taste.

I agree. If you have the thought to do the actions, then be willing to explain them.

Maybe a soon to be ex-State Dept. employee.
If you are working for any Foreign Ministry, you follow the policy of the country, even if it differs from your personal view.
A woman identified as a State Department employee has used social media to accuse President Biden and his administration of being "complicit in genocide" toward the people in Gaza and warned that it could stifle his re-election chances in 2024.
Sylvia Yacoub, who has served for more than two years as a foreign affairs officer in the State Department's Bureau of Near East Affairs, according to her LinkedIn page, has outspokenly shared her opinions on the matter through a variety of posts to X, formerly known as Twitter.

The camera guy takes it too far but interesting to watch all the same.
That was hilarious. FAFO indeed. I don’t think the camera man took it too far, especially if he put up the flyer. Btw the main thing I took away is this is such an American (or woke?) thing…being so passionate about a topic that has likely ZERO impact on your life. Funny how politics and debate are central to so many people’s identity.

I didn't read carefully (again).
This was NOT Saturday Night Live.
It was "Israel’s Saturday Night Live equivalent."
My hopes for a return of rationality to SNL have been dashed.

I sent that to my friend in leadership at Columbia. She’s at wits end but says things are improving there. We’ll see

I thought she’d laugh too because we jointly made fun of the student position when I was with her weekend before last. But when I sent it last night she was more exasperated than anything else.
