Joe Biden doesn’t care about brown people.

At the 3:00 mark, the differences between the mean figures and the median figures are stunning. A small handful of people are doing very well, and it skews the averages ridiculously.

“Over one-third of GenXers report having saved less than $10,000.”
You guys have savings?

I dunno. I heard they only brought one set of clothes, and they have to wear those clothes until February without being able to wash them.
Doesn’t sound pleasant.

I haven’t watched Wakanda Forever, but […] Looking at some of the complaints, it appears to have a similar problem to other modern Disney films, in which women are put on an elevated pedestal and men are left to be bumbling idiots completely incapable of basic human functions.
No, not at all. There are three male characters in the film (Winston Duke’s M’Baku, Martin Freeman’s Everett Ross, and Tenoch Huerta’s Namor), and they are all very competent. One is a CIA agent, and the other two are leaders of their people.
I did watch Black Panther […] I do recall noticing that Disney chose only white actors to play all the villain roles in Black Panther
The villain in Black Panther was Erik Killmonger, played by the very black Michael B. Jordan.

Australia recently announced that they’ll be denying entry to any Israelis identified as settlers in the West Bank.
Why can’t every country do something like that?

My impressions: The tone is good. She opens by saying she has had a “frank” conversation with Netanyahu, and she’s says it in a stern voice, which makes it sound like she’s going to be tough with him.
But as for the substance of the speech… well, it sounds like she grasps the horrors of what Israel is doing in Gaza. But she also doesn’t say that the US is going to do anything about it.
Doesn’t say that she’s willing to put pressure on Netanyahu or Israel. Certainly doesn’t say that they’ll stop shipping weapons. (Actually, the opposite. She says she’ll continue to ensure that Israel can defend itself from Hamas, which sounds like it means weapons.)
She wants the ceasefire to be agreed to, but doesn’t identify Israel as the holdout. Doesn’t say that that the US will do anything more than hold conversations. It all sounds like more of the same of what we’ve had for fifty-seven years.
I realize that she is currently just the VP in Biden’s administration, and probably can’t change the administration’s policies. So maybe we can’t expect anything more than a change of tone at this point.
But if Israel were any other country, there would be talk of sanctions and the need for “regime change”.

For people who don’t know, Hamas’s stated goal is for Jews and Palestinians to live in a unified single state (probably an Islamic one) called Palestine, where Arabs are the dominant group and Jews are a protected minority. (They want the return of 4 million Palestinian refugees to Palestine, which would make Jews a minority.)
Hence, they want the elimination of Israel, but not the elimination of Jews. I think it’s unfortunate that this has so regularly been twisted into the claim that Hamas wants to eliminate the Jews.
They’ve also indicated that they might be open to compromising and negotiating a two-state solution.
Anyway, none of this matters now. Now that Hamas have committed a massive terrorist attack, there’s no way that anyone can negotiate with them.

Even includeds some nice Hasbara about Hamas vowing to kill all the Jews.
She didn’t quite say that either.
While I agree that there’s a common myth that Hamas want to exterminate the Jews, and that Harris might be invoking that, she didn’t actually say “kill all Jews”.
She said “kill Jews”, not “kill all Jews”. (And I think it’s fair to say that, because they did just kill a thousand Jews in a terrorist attack in October.)

Misleading title. This statement doesn’t actually say she supports Israel, fully or otherwise.

- Comment on why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out. 4 months ago:
Because he’s winning.
The people calling for Biden to drop out are doing it because they fear Biden won’t win.
It has nothing to do with how moral Biden or Trump are or are not.
- Comment on Stay Mad 4 months ago:
because you’re fucking moron that forgets things easily!"
It’s more that the worst thing you’re willing to accept becomes the new normal.
And then something that was previously unthinkable becomes thinkable. And then if you accept that because it’s the lesser evil, it becomes the new “new normal”. Continue in a downward spiral.
Look at the state we’re in now, with Trump and Biden. That’s the result of decades of picking “the lesser evil”.
At some point you have to say “no more”.
