  • Fish, no plugins. The POSIX differences are to your advantage when using interactively. Its amazing how much larger expressions you can construct in the repl before you start moving to a proper file. Its like moving from pure mysql or psql to mycli or pgcli.

    When you add it all up, the amount of effort you’ll expend to learn fish are small compared to the amount of effort you’ll save by trying to recreate the UX with plugins and custom scripts.














  • Polls show Hamas is the most popular faction in both the West Bank and Gaza and it has only gone up after 10/7 because they showed that they are the only people willing and capable to fight the genocidal apartheid state of Israel. Hamas hides in tunnels because it’s been a proven strategy to survive air raids since Vietnam. The next time an IDF spokesperson claims that a Hamas base was under some civilian structure, consider the idea that Hamas merely had an exit point there. Consider how Hamas somehow trained airborne commandos and maybe that the IDF doesn’t actually know shit about anything that goes on in Gaza.

    The human shields line is total bullshit. Human shields don’t work if the enemy is known to not care about the human. Israel has repeatedly claimed that Hamas uses “human shields” and then shot the shields anyways. Since 10/7 they have started shooting the “human shields” even if they are Israeli. The IDF just wants to kill civilians and is just giving you the run around.

    Throughout all of this you still acknowledge that Israel is “over-responding”. That “over-response” is outright genocide. All you’re doing is trying to blame the victim of genocide for the genocide. Let’s consider you’re suggestion that Hamas deliberately provoked Israel into doing a genocide. Israel is still doing the genocide. You can question all you want if what Hamas did was necessary, AFTER YOU STOP ISRAEL FROM DOING THE GENOCIDE.



  • Biden has given Israel “no red lines” and has backed them without question. The US has all the cards when it comes to controlling Israel and refuses to play any of them. Just threaten to cut aid and they’ll stop. Threaten to not back them in the UN. Threaten to recognize the genocide. Threaten to recognize them as an apartheid state. Threaten to recognize their nukes. Threaten to recognize reality and they’ll fold.

    When Israel was bombing Lebanon, Reagan just gave them a blank stare and said “but it looks like a holocaust” and they stopped. Because Israel is nothing without the US and despite all Bibi’s bluster they know that.
