“Your plastic pal that’s fun to be with!”

Born to be the tribe’s nightwatch.

Forced to wake up a 5 AM because my company’s HQ is in a different timezone than me.

LOL, friend of mine has a similar technique:

The laws of robotics:

1. A robot shall never harm a human, or through inaction allow a human to come to harm.
2. Fuck other robots though. Fuck them right up.

It’s also possible it was a intra-group power grab from a place of genuine despair and hopelessness. Historically, it’s been difficult to convince Muslims to deny their votes to Democrats because the political alternative was so bad. But the genocide in Gaza eclipsed those concerns, and it became the Muslim and Palestinian groups’ primary focus. This allowed Muslim and Palestinian political organizers an unprecedented opportunity to flex their political muscle, and to demand more attention and power within the Left’s already tenuous coalition.

The hangover will come when 1) the genocide continues, 2) anti-Muslim sentiment and policies at home increase, and 3) they realize they have bought themselves increased bargaining power within a political faction that is effectively completely powerless. But their alternative was to elect a Israeli ally who would continue to ignore Muslim and Palestinian voices. It’s just a real shit-show any way you slice it.
