I had completely forgotten about Douchey-whizz until I saw this. I wish I hadn't been reminded he's still around. Now I have to waste time purging his memory from those neurons so they can be used for something useful.

Dershowitz is channeling his inner David Mamet on this path to oblivion.

Jewish, anti-Zionist? Those are not the same thing, any more than Christianity and Ku Klux Klan are the same thing. I support the existence of Israel, though I wish to hell they hadn't put it in the Middle East, thus guaranteeing lots of future problems. And I do not support the current Israeli administration's terrorism (that would be slaughtering civilians to steal their land). In college I had a Jewish roommate and she was a lovely person; Netanyahu and his ilk are not.

Likud is to Israel as the GOP is to the US: the worst of the worst.

Likud members have become what their Russian and Prussian grandparents fled eighty years ago.

Sad. Jews have been persecuted for so long that we could hope they had learned that persecuting people for no reason is a bad thing. I'm sure many have learned that, but Israeli leadership has not.

Not til the end of time. Just until the Dersh has been exposed in the Epstein Files or he takes the dirt nap all must take. I admit it can feel like forever, though, every time he opens his mouth and whines. Which is every time. *Sigh* Why can't these amoral rich fuckwads retire on their millions and GO AWAY?!? (Rhetorical question)

Fascinating to see the decline into irrelevance of a man once considered an important intellectual, whose insights on such important topics as the morality of torture, or the importance of supporting a genocidal project, once garnered attention from many serious people. Interesting, also, to see how turning an important long-form journal into a pro-Zionist propaganda vehicle has paralleled the decline of the man described in the journal's pages. One is reminded of Hannah Arendt's chilling phrase, "the banality of evil".

"It's so funny to me that genAI realistically has so little consumer value that tech CEOs resort to predatory practices to do anything with it, sell it to each other to inflate its value to shareholders, and become triggered snowflakes when their slop is tagged as AI."

"Hey folks,

About that AI opt-out feature Twitch was talking about? It's not just the streamers that have to turn that off.

EVERYONE has to turn it off, because anything on your account, including the clips you make, will be fed to that infernal, ignominious devil machine if you don't. /1"

I am not afraid of AI, though I do fear how some people will use it, but that's true of any technology. I suspect it will cost a lot of jobs; our government should be prepared to help the people who lose jobs, but our current government does not support working people. Amazon now has AI on its Echo Dots and I love it. I'm not going to hate it because it's AI when it is so useful and so much fun.

My sources tell me that not even the ticks want anything to do with Dersh

Does he have any blood left to suck? He looks pretty bloodless. He is also safe from zombies.

Feeling like in the world & the moment we're in right now, it's feeling like it's important to have these discussions together

Thanks, The Atlantic, for catching us up on this fucker that no one wants to see or hear about, ever. Maybe next you can tell us what James Carville's up to.

Getting me to ponder the sexual calamities of Alan Dershowitz is definitely in the running for the low point of my day.

Thanks. (typed ironically)

There should be an Ironic type face.
