this is 100% true. Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah is a song about how a bad breakup of a toxic relationship can make you lose faith in God. Unless it’s Tisha b’Av, you should not be using it for shit in a service

Beyoncé teams up with smooth brained, colonialist malewife and disgraced pipe fitter, Cornell West, in a new podcast which promises to be as shitty as you're imagining it to be.

a pickle is a cucumber thats been cock and ball tortured

its funny how often gros got the worst propaganda jobs from everyone. this is "Departure of Louis XVIII from the Palace of the Tuileries on the Night of 20 March 1815." they really had him paint propaganda of them sneaking out in the middle of the night before napoleon returns

Getting your rather public dental treatment at doctor's office in 18th-century Venice as described by Pietro Longhi, born OTD 1701.

2/2 The fun of really public tooth extraction, performed by man with a monkey instead of a diploma. By Pietro Longhi of Venice.

Zohran condemned antisemitic vandalism of a Syrian yeshiva, and immediately the reactions came pouring in from: -full-on Nazis -Zionists and right-wingers trying to blame Mamdani -Anti-Zionist wannabes whose brains are so poisoned by Zionism they assume every antisemitic act must be a false flag

zohran mamdani take my who are you in egypt in the 1940s and 50s quiz

Whenever I hear “NYC is our Home” I think that גלות השכינה is even deeper than imagined. Perhaps R. Yehudah ha-Chasid had a point in forbidding stone construction for Jews.

2/2 On display in Venice in 1774: an elephant, heavily chained. Sad! But still, was immortalized by Pietro Longhi, born on this day in 1701.

Seinfeld and Naoki Urasawa's Monster. i have the ironclad conviction that george costanza would be the only person immune to johan because he would vibe with johan's nihilism so completely that johan would have trouble figuring out how to make him kill himself
