When "both-sides" folk try to demonstrate the notion of “what may be legitimate criticism of Israel being expressed in exaggerated and therefore antisemitic terms”, they point to things like calling Israel “evil” (as opposed to "in violation of international law” etc).
But literally taking away food from starving babies ⋅is⋅ evil, in absolutely every sense of the word. It's the kind of behaviour the word evil was invented for.
Now, as an Israel-apologist you can attempt to claim the episode didn't happen, or that it was an overzealous individual, not policy (you'd fail, because it ⋅did⋅ happen and because the individual in question was merely ⋅applying⋅ official policy, which bans the bulk import of baby formula by truck, to private baggage).
But to go with “Actually, taking food from starving babies in order to make their parents helplessly watch them die is NOT ‘evil’ when Israel does it — and it's antisemitic to claim it is!”... not only are you confirming that you consider Palestinians to be subhuman, but you are dehumanising ⋅yourself⋅, and everyone watching can see that you yourself, you really are evil too.

Laura Loomer is an advisor to Trump, and she's quite clear that what's going on is not "deporting criminal aliens" but the ethnic cleansing of all 65 million Latinos in the US. In fact she's pretty clear she wants this to be the genocide of the US Latino population.
I'm not sure many people recognize we're already a few lines into the "first they came for the..." poem. But we are.

Re this from @jenniferplusplus: YES.
My first job out of college, I successfully built several high-profile executive darling software projects. I was celebrated for it (someone once use the phrase “white knight,” yikes), which was heady for a 20-something fresh out of college.
Despite that, I don’t think a single one of those projects actually mattered diddly to the company in the long term.

I think I did only two things that really mattered to that org in the long term:
1. Stopped them from buying a really dubious CMS / web app engine that would have cost the org (a nonprofit) millions it didn’t have to be vendor-locked into a dead-end platform that would have set their site back years.
2. Selected a new developer hire who was far more dependable and mature than I was, and became their lynchpin. She wrote tons of software that did actually matter, and stayed with them for years.
Whatever dev skills I had turned out to be good for (1) saying “stop, don’t” and (2) recognizing an excellent person in a job interview. Note that neither involved the code I wrote.

I'd love to see another photo of this basement window well.
It's not, the needles or whatever are way to consistent, even in the darker areas. AI would have fucked all that up
Also, it's a basement well window, I have one of these as well. So OP would be standing on the side of the window in his house and the pinecone is on the other side in the fire escape well
