Oh wow, one reason I don't pay much attention to the Grammy's is probably the distance between the music recognized and the music I actually like. I guess better late than never. www.clashmusic.com/news/the-cur...

The powerful front page of the reformist newspaper Sazandegi features the names of 3,000 individuals who, according to government reports, were killed during the protests in Iran. #Iran #IranProtests2026

I didn't quite understand Tu b'Shvat until I saw the first almond blossoms popping up on the trees in J'lem. We may be buried under half a metre of snow in Canada, but my tradition carries the life cycles of The Land with it everywhere. And also the reminder to pay your taxes. Happy Tu b'Shvat!

At base, patriarchy is a pederastic cult of penis worship coupled with deep, literal gynophobia & irrational aversion to vulvas [those gross, "complex" & "variable" "mum-pums" - unlike entirely uniform & simple penises]. Zero actual attraction to women who exist purely to be subordinated.

so the guy sharing gross transphobic slop with Epstein here is Robert Trivers, the scientist who invented the specious yet popular "parental investment" theory, in which sperm are cheap so men want to f*ck lots of women, but eggs are expensive so women are looking for a man with "good genes"...

TENURED YALE PROFESSOR IN AN OP-ED: In our society we have too often accepted the heckler’s veto, allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good and making the refusal to forgive our highest virtue TENURED YALE PROFESSOR IN AN EMAIL: hii jfefrey Can I come to rape party w/a plusone this weekend

“The Justice Department published dozens of unredacted nude images on its website, showing young women or possibly teenagers whose photos were contained in files related to the wealthy sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

Oh, dear god, a nightmare. ICE officials informed members of the Senate Judiciary Committee about the outbreak, immigration attorney Eric Lee said.

Troublemaker is my middle name.

The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.

Marching now to the ICE facility "ICE out of Portland! ICE out of everywhere"

To be clear, though - one reason Orbán doesn't do this is because his authoritarian regime is consolidated to a degree that Trump's is not.

The online lectures made during the pandemic have made politicians and university administrators view us as nothing more than content creators and not experts in a particular field.

Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

"It’s really a shame that I learned all of this too late."

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

RIP to the GOAT going back fifty years on SCTV www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOIG...

Oh no! But she's only like 70-ish!? Sad news for Canada and the world. 😢

I mean, I've always thought the whole idea of 'spoilers' was stupid, but the fact that there are now millions of people resolutely refusing to read The Long Game whilst insisting no one reveal anything about it WHILE REWATCHING HR 100x really need to be put on time out. Good art cannot be 'spoiled.'

One thing the HR fandom explosion has brought home for me: I really hate people who are obsessed w the idea of 'spoilers' - esp. for books that have been out for YEARS. If a piece of art is only enjoyable as a 'surprise,' it's probably shitty art. Why should we have to avoid talking about things?

Tuchman jumps ship. Senior ADL antisemitism researcher leaves to lead competing effort at watchdog Nexus Aryeh Tuchman will direct a new Nexus research center focused on improving data, definitions and public understanding of antisemitism. www.jta.org/2026/01/29/u...

Mayor Gergely Karácsony of Budapest could teach a few American institutions how to deal with fascism. Rather than roll over to a Pride ban, he led a march of hundreds of thousands in Budapest. Now, he's being charged under their anti-Pride law. But he won't be deterred. Our latest story.

"The provincial government has made it potentially illegal... to make public transit, and just mobility for everybody, really fast." — @shoshannasaxe.bsky.social (@civmin.bsky.social) on dedicated bus lanes, tonight at 8pm with @jeyantvo.bsky.social

Not posting the video because holy shit. Coming on the heels of a Rabbi assaulted in Queens last week.

Bessent should be banned from entering the country and Ambassador Hoekstra should be explled.

“”Across the world, Christianity is being invoked to legitimize political authority and exclusionary visions of belonging. This conference brings global perspectives together to better understand how these movements operate and why they matter.””

Watched the 1st episode of Starfleet Academy & my thoughts are: 1. Pirates + super hot young prodigy w [missing] mommy issues + funny flying droids making weird noises = way to Star Wars-y. 2. W/ all the nods to ancient Greece, it should be WAY more queer than a Rufus Wainright vocal cameo.

Sacrificing the health of your children to own the libs and because nobody is the boss of you

Tankies are completely untethered from reality. It's like they're stuck in an eight-dimensional chess game with The West that exists entirely in their imagination.

ICE isn’t just brutal. It’s also big business. From 2008 to 2021 ICE spent *$1.2 billion* on geolocation tracking, $561M on data analysis, $252M on government databases, and $97M on data brokers. Most of that went to companies who will lobby for this system to stay in place.

I think when we speak about the Evian Conference or even remember Canada's infamous "none is too many" response, we still forget how thoroughly & easily the world always convinces itself that the Jews deserve to be punished. jewishjournal.com/commentary/o...

X gives blue checkmark and engagement dollars to white nationalist fabricating racist quotes and falsely attributing them to real rabbis. Then X's bot tells white nationalists that the quote isn't true. Causing a disease, then selling the cure -- the tech story of our time.

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

He’s a jackass, a mountebank, a grifter, and apparently a racist, too! Jackpot! The Stanford neuroscientist is highly credentialed and endearingly earnest on his popular wellness podcast, but is now facing claims against his credibility www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024....

A very easy way to distinguish principled left-liberalism from antisemitism is that principled liberals will identify Israel as one place among many where the rising tide of authoritarianism needs to be fought whereas antisemites will identify Israel as the place that teaches the world how to be bad

It's another "We Are The Baddies" manifesto. Just coming out and saying they'll do mass deportations, concentration camps, torture, human trafficking, you name it.

"Its acronym, F.A.F.O., references a slang term for negative consequences." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

Did they recognize/hate him? We need their names and a full investigation now.

If you’re scared, you’re not alone. If you showed up anyway. Thank you. 
If you couldn’t today, tomorrow is still yours. But don’t look away. Don’t normalize what you know isn’t right. —Eric K. Ward open.substack.com/pub/erickwar...
