The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a nonprofit focused on combating antisemitism, defended tech billionaire Elon Musk’s “awkward” gesture during a Monday celebratory event which some critics panned as a fascist salute.

“This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety,” the ADL wrote in a Monday post on Musk’s social platform X. “It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.”

From the Hill if anyone else wanted to know more.

If you're just going to copy and paste from an NPR article, you might as well provide a link while you're at it.

Only if you're counting the Coast Guard and Space Force (and maybe others I might be forgetting). So don't do that, it would make Donjuanme wrong.

Iran said it was retaliation for the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus on 1 April,[17] which killed two Iranian generals.

Iran claimed that the attack was an act of "self-defense"[19][20] in retaliation for Israel's assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC general Abbas Nilforoushan.

Does it change anything if both of those attacks were after an Iranian embassy was bombed and an assassination in Iran's capital took place?

You may not hear about her much, but that doesn't mean Harry Potter isn't getting a new show on HBO next year. Clearly, JK Rowling is still "in the cultural spotlight" and making plenty of money off of the thing this post is asking you not to support.

Oh. I guess I read that wrong as "willful childishness" and thought they were just being kind of petty at the end.

Did you see them drive en masse the wrong way through red lights?

This shit happens all the time everywhere? Really. Everywhere, cars are just all going the same direction, ignoring every traffic law en masse with no cops doing anything?

How is this relevant to the point at all?

They are acting extremely unsafe for no reason.

I think you're a little too focused on the one very specific way the bicycles were being unsafe in the video. Every example they listed was another way that cars are driven irresponsibly all the time, not just during a critical mass event where the point is to flood the streets with bicycles.

No, these were both in the same, single lane roundabout. And there shouldn't have been any confusion since the roundabout has been there for a while now. It was just drivers being reckless and careless, putting my life in danger by not obeying traffic laws.

I've had two close calls with roundabouts. One where someone didn't look before entering and another where some tried to pass me inside the circle when they wanted to exit and I didn't.

You could raise your shield and have the guardian destroy the shield but deal no damage to you, and you could also parry while your shield is raised to reflect the beam back. BotW had a parry button you could use while your shield was raised.
