there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Do you think Yaxel Lendeborg and Aday Mara have their feelings hurt right now

THEY DID IT

If you had told someone thirty years ago that in thirty years Trent Reznor would be mostly known as a film score composer what would they have said to you

Moving to take a job in Palo Alto, CA next year, so if you live in that area, soon I will too

I bet Noah Wyle, in his heart of hearts, thinks he can get away with doing a couple of shifts at a hospital by now

The vast majority of gentiles lack the range to comment in any capacity on Jewish ritual or tradition. And if you read this and immediately felt like you needed to prove yourself the exception to that statement, I guarantee you you’re actually part of the problem and should fuck off.

I think it's time to induct My Chemical Romance into the Classic Rock genre

This is my favorite

This person is joking but we actually do know that lead tastes sweet! Romans boiled their wine into a syrup in lead pots because it sweetened the wine, which, uh, explains some things about Rome

Little known fact: They only opened Sea World after Bee World went....poorly

What if they opened the capsule and NO ONE WAS INSIDE

I actually just went on bluesky to post this only to discover The Tweet is going viral again. So yeah, please give the thing I poured my heart and soul into a read. I think it came out pretty good. It's parsha relevant! It's about Rebbe Nachman and how it feels to screw up and how important art is

"Let's read the comments of a reddit post featuring a screenshot of a tweet I made what could go wrong-"

I've come to accept there are worse legacies to have

thelehrhaus.com/tanakh/two-m... Wrote this in June but it's parsha relevant this week. Wouldn't say I wrote it while Going Through It, more to process Having Been Through It, but it means a lot to me and not just because it's the first thing I published as an adult.

Chad vs Virgin Meme but it's Lake Megachad vs Lake Chad

People want to argue so much they will argue with what they wish you said instead of what you said, and invite their friends to the party

Watching season one of True Detective for the first time. This show absolutely would not work without McConaughey. Highest Value Over Replacement Actor performance I've ever seen.

Apparently they now make Zalman Shazar action figures? I'm a sucker for a guy who seems to lurk in the background of every interesting Orthodox Jewish thinker of the 20th century, so yes, I did purchase the little guy

The Jews he murdered learning that he was actually shooting at policies

It's time to admit to myself that Goldstar is the only beer I have ever loved

RIP Rebbe Nachman you would have loved living to see man made horrors beyond your comprehension

"Well, I guess these really were just innocent Jews, not those bad kind," say various people in Marisa's mentions. I bring news: It's not actually acceptable to murder random Zionists either (or anybody else you think holds an ideology you disagree with).

Oh man, this angle.

WE'RE SO BACK

BALL DON'T LIE

"Refs You Suck!' being chanted in unison by the crowd ...

Goff 100% assumed he had a free play because Sam Williams came to visit him in the freakin huddle

heads up to interested parties that @misfittorah.bsky.social has resumed writing about the parsha! [it's me and my 19yo, we're interested parties]

Every time I log onto Facebook now I'm filled with an overwhelming urge to walk into the ocean and never come back.

Incredible things happening in the talk page for the Wikipedia article on former major league pitcher Byung-Hyun Kim

"Tim Robinson Presents: Franz Kafka's The Trial" is a thing that should absolutely happen

Hot take: "Sinners" would have been a more coherent and interesting movie if the role the Irish played in it had been played instead by Jews, but it would have also made the movie explicitly vehemently antisemitic on every level so I'm glad they didn't

The correct take on RHCP is that they're a great platform for one of the greatest guitarists alive to do awesome guitar things while jamming with his idiot friends

Jahmyr Gibbs winning this game by himself

Actual Muslim organizations in the UK are unequivocally decrying the terrorism in Manchester and mourning the dead without asterisk. As opposed to masturbatory performative Bluesky let's-bomb-Walmart twats who see an opportunity to be edgy.

If your response to a fatal attack on a synagogue outside of Israel-Palestine on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar is to make it entirely about Israel-Palestine, in either direction, consider that you are part of the problem.

Two Jews are murdered for the crime of going to shul on Yom Kippur. Bluesky being.... predictable about it
