In other news
In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.
I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.
Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.
South Korea's opposition leader Lee Jae-myung has been stabbed in the neck during a visit to the city of Busan.
Mr Lee, who narrowly lost the 2022 presidential election, sustained a 1cm laceration on the left side of his neck, reports said.
He was airlifted to hospital. Doctors say the wound is not life-threatening.
The 66-year-old man who attacked him said he had intended to kill Mr Lee, Yonhap news agency reported. The motive for the attack is unclear.

Looks like Claudine Gay is finally resigning
Chief among the campaigners celebrating the resignation of Claudine Gay as president of Harvard University was a man who arguably did the most to push Gay, Harvard’s first Black president, out the door: Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge-fund manager and Harvard alumnus.
Ackman, who accused Gay of antisemitism and plagiarism, was a major player in what increasingly became a rightwing campaign against the Harvard president – who said many of the attacks against her were “fueled by racial animus”.
In the past month alone, the 57-year-old has tweeted about Gay, Harvard, or both, more than 100 times to his 1 million followers. On Tuesday, he topped that with a rambling 4,000-word X post about “racism against white people”; universities’ efforts to increase diversity; and accusations that student groups were “supporting terrorism”.
Ackman’s campaign came after “years of resentment”, the New York Times reported, in part because his donations to Harvard did not give him greater influence over the university.
A previous donor to the Democratic party, Ackman has denied he has rightwing politics. But his campaign has been seized upon by conservatives and a Republican party that have long been resentful of an alleged liberal bias, and of affirmative action efforts, on college campuses and elsewhere – something commenters pointed out after Gay’s resignation.
i anxiously await Neil Gorsuch to be the next plagiarist the republicans focus on and push to resign, because they REALLY care about issues.
that guy doesnt look very far right. hes just a run of the mill Zionist who generally supports Dems. hmm, weird, whoever would have guessed.
lol its this guy lololol

For once you are correct. He might as well be Joe Biden's brother as far as his politics go. Trying to frame him as "Republican" is LOL Guardian more than anything else.
Of course I dont actually perceive this as an insult as you do.
Given Epstein was SUPER active donating money to science projects at elite East Coast institutions and all indirect evidence seems to indicate Epstein himself was an Israeli intelligence asset at some point, the fact he donated money to the lab of an Israeli scientist married to a hedge fund guy shouldn't be particularly shocking.

it wasnt meant to be an insult. its a retort to the people who took me to task when I initially surmised this was a Zionist campaign. they said oh no, its a far right campaign.

America is pretty great. Most of the countries you support suck. If Zionists have been running things behind the scenes this whole time, than I say give me a lot more of that; and you can have all your countries that draw inspiration from the life of 7th century colonizing warlord theocrats.
I actually worry for the future of the Democratic Party in part because of the shift away from "Zionist" neoliberalism in support of Islamofascism and far left progressivism. I dont worry as in I am a fan of the Democratic Party. I worry the future is gong to be a race to the gutter between far left progressives and the populist right.
Victor,
In 2024 I'll give you a list of candidates and you tell me who you think the Zionists are, so I know who to vote for. I assume you believe Trump and Biden are both Zionists, so I cant go wrong either way as far as the Presidency goes.
Deal?
I dont really support any country so thats pretty poor conjecture. and yes, ofc any candidate for president will be a Zionist.
lol so the Zionist wife of the guy who led the charge against the Harvard president for plagiarism just got caught...you guessed it...plagiarizing.
Spoiler
from wikipedia lol

God damn that was a whole lot of words to say literally nothing
they also hung out with epstein apparently. enough that he bribed some people to try and keep it quiet.
I thought I read on twitter that she was involved with having students write thank you letters to Epstein but I cant find the thread now. google is telling me that she herself was asked to write a letter as well but that was from 2019.
I am sure it will come to light that she was heavily involved in coercing students to debase themselves with bullshit letters to a pedophile.
With the amount of money the government spended in 2023 I hope a recession was postpone .
Same point with trump making 8 trillions of debts and claiming US economy was strong because of trump great management of the economy shrug.
Economically there isn’t much distinction between the 2 parties .
Debt,debt,debt….

What were they supposed to be thanking him for?
