Several Israeli journalists are naming the “diplomatic official” who issued a pair of statements during Shabbat on the hostage deal being negotiated in Cairo as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In this evening’s primetime broadcast, Channel 12’s Yaron Avraham says he won’t take part “in this game,” identifying Netanyahu as the official who issued the statements.

“These statements are not based on the view of the entire war cabinet,” Avraham adds, while saying that the anonymous official insisting in recent days that the IDF will enter Rafah is also Netanyahu.

@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

It’s the anniversary of the Kent State massacre so I’ll repost this piece I wrote about the lessons its history offers us today

kevinmkruse.substack.com

“…Student strikes that May affected some 350 colleges, and estimates put the number of students involved in the demonstrations at around 2 million, which was 25% of the university students in America, by far a record high. Thirty ROTC buildings were burned or bombed.

The National Guard had to be called out in 16 states and on 21 campuses, but again, their mobilization only inflamed the situation and made things worse. More than 75 colleges and universities decided to close down for the remainder of the academic year, and the antiwar movement became much stronger too.

In the end, the deployment of the National Guard failed in every way. It didn’t keep the students on these campuses safe, and it didn’t curtail criticism of the Nixon administration’s foreign policy. It was simply a knee-jerk overreaction that made short-sighted, small-minded, weak-willed right-wing men feel better about themselves for a moment.

Which, of course, is why Tom Cotton is calling for a repeat now.”

And John Eastman Strikes Out Again!

Now, Trump lawyer John Eastman “has been temporarily suspended from practicing law in the District of Columbia,” according to Bloomberg News.

“The suspension is temporary until the final disposition of the California proceeding, DC Court of Appeals Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby wrote Friday,” the report states. “California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland on May 1 rejected Eastman’s attempt to lift his suspension in that state, saying his disbarment would ‘safeguard the public’ after he made false claims about the 2020 election. The California Supreme Court will make the final determination.”

In California, according to the report, “Roland in March found that Eastman should be disbarred for knowingly making false claims about Trump winning the 2020 presidential election.”

The report notes that former Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro has also had his law license suspended.

Law & Crime also picked up the news, noting of Eastman, “The erstwhile Donald Trump ally has fought so he can continue to represent his clients and earn money as he defends his law licenses while also facing down the prospect of his own looming criminal trial on racketeering (RICO) charges in Fulton County, Georgia.”

“A similar request to stay his temporary inactive status in the Golden State was denied by California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland on May 1, citing the ‘gravity of Eastman’s transgressions, particularly those involving moral turpitude, and the increased likelihood of future misconduct due to his refusal to acknowledge any wrongdoing,’” the Law & Crime report states.

You
How would you solve the trolley dilemma?

Meta AI
The Trolley Dilemma! A classic thought experiment in ethics and moral philosophy. There’s no one “right” answer, but here’s how I’d approach it:
The Problem:
A runaway trolley (a kind of tram or streetcar) is headed towards a group of five people who are unable to move and will be killed if the trolley continues on its course. However, you are standing next to a lever that controls a switch that can divert the trolley onto a side track, saving the lives of the five people. Unfortunately, there is one person standing on the side track who will be killed if the trolley is diverted onto it.
My Approach:
Utilitarianism: From a utilitarian perspective, I would choose to divert the trolley onto the side track, killing one person but saving the lives of five others. This approach prioritizes the greater good and the well-being of the majority.
Deontology: From a deontological perspective, I would argue that it’s wrong to actively cause the death of one person, even if it would save the lives of others. This approach prioritizes the moral rule of not harming others and respecting individual rights and autonomy.
Virtue Ethics: From a virtue ethics perspective, I would consider the character and moral virtues of the person facing the decision. A virtuous person would be guided by compassion, empathy, and a commitment to doing what is right, even in difficult situations.
Ultimately:
While there’s no universally “right” answer, I would choose to divert the trolley onto the side track, prioritizing the greater good and the well-being of the majority. However, I acknowledge the moral complexity of this decision and the importance of considering different ethical perspectives.

en.wikipedia.org

Greedo Tetsu Jr. is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He was a Rodian bounty hunter from the Tetsu Clan and worked for crime boss Jabba the Hutt. Greedo’s Huttese language is based on Quechua, the Inca language.[2] He appears in the first Star Wars film during a scene where he confronts and threatens Han Solo, only to be killed by Solo. The scene was later altered so that Greedo also shoots at Han, leading to the infamous fan controversy known as “Han shot first”, which the character has since come to be most associated with.

Florida workers brace for summer with no protections: ‘My body would tremble’

This law was discussed on here several weeks ago, here’s some follow-up:

Several business groups are lobbying against heat protections for workers at the federal level, and lobbyists aggressively pushed lawmakers to pass the Florida heat exemption bill.

Orlando Weekly reported on texts from corporate lobbyists to lawmakers urging them to pass the heat exemption bill before the end of the legislative session.

“I haven’t texted you in weeks-HEAT cannot die,” wrote Carol Bowen, a lobbyist for the Associated Builders and Contractors in a text message on 7 March to the House speaker Paul Renner’s chief of staff Allison Carter, the day before the last day of the legislative session when the bill was ultimately passed. “The entire business community is in lock step on this. Thank you for your attention to this concern.”

Ahead of a vote on the bill, the Florida chamber of commerce lobbyist Carolyn Johnson told Republican lawmakers their vote on the bill would be double-weighted on the How They Voted report the chamber sends to its members.

Absolutely conscience-less. They want their work hours and they don’t want any possibility they could be compelled to give anything to their workers. This will likely kill people.

From the same Wiki entry.

Greedo was portrayed in 1977 by Paul Blake, as well as Maria De Aragon for some close-in pickup shots in 1977, while a younger version of him was played by Simon Rose and Oliver Walpole in a deleted scene from the 1999 prequel film Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. The character has made appearances in a few other pieces of Star Wars media, including the 2008 animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the 2015 video game Star Wars Battlefront.

If it was Maria De Aragon in that shot, I question her choice of footwear.
