I still have no idea who that asshole is.

This is not wrong.

@haaretzcom.bsky.social acting like free press here

“Today I am here [at the Israeli-Palestinian joint memorial ceremony] because this is where hope is,” said Liora Eilon, 73, a survivor of the Kfar Aza massacre whose son Tal was killed in the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023. edition.cnn.com/2026/04/21/m...

Two copy editors high-fiving so hard right now

The US Senate takes power from urban voters and overweights rural populations. It is our most egregious gerrymander. Somehow these people never complain about that.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

LOL

me when I'm paid to be a technical advisor on a platform with millions of active users

I say this with love But every time I get sad about the Red Sox I can look at the Mets and feel better

REDISTRICT EVERYTHING ESCALATE TO DE-ESCALATE GERRYMANDER EVERY SINGLE STATE IMMEDIATELY CREATE A DELICATE BALANCE OF TERROR NOW RESTORE DETTERENCE

CIA pulling off another regime change with the underhanded dirty trick of all living and voting there.

🚨BREAKING🚨

Amazing!!! I can't believe it!!!!

What is funny is California. The Dems preserved GOP seats in 2000 to avoid super majority and the GOP returns the favor with a non-partisan redistricting commission. Neutral redistricting wiped them out so they sued. Then the recent vote happened, further obliterating them.

As my current Lenovo laptop (2022) is flirting with EOL, I've decided to do something with my older Lenovo laptop (2017) Install Linux on it. I tried doing something similar back in 2009 and failed. Maybe this time it will stick.

The "we need bipartisanship!" thing originally began not as a call for liberals to work with conservatives but for liberal northern Republicans and liberal northern Democrats to work together to advance liberal policies in an era where conservative Dixiecrats dominated commitee chairmanships etc.

My "This robot is trained to smash your camera" T-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my T-shirt.

Fun Trivia: the original 70s STEPFORD WIVES film is unavailable in any current format because in the 70s a lot of companies with too much money diversified by buying film companies. Most soon realized what a bad idea that was, but Bristol Myers held onto the rights for some reason.

sometimes I think fondly of how we could have had chaos with Ed Miliband but the British press thought he ate a sandwich wrong.

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

As much as I enjoyed Inventing the Renaissance, @eruditorumpress.com should win.

so yeah, this is true. my refusal to ever endorse nazi rapist boy means i am not saying “vote blue no matter who.” i am saying “vote non-fascist no matter how centrist.” if you are willing to stand in coalition with nazis your coalition deserves to fall

Absolutely over the moon about this. If you've not read my HUGO NOMINATED book-length essay on Sandman, it remains free to all at www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-cud...

Does anyone know which Congress has had the highest number of resignations?

All I want is for the person on the project management team to EVER look at the jira board for the project. What sort of idiot are you to come into a project meeting and say that it has been a while since you looked at the board?!?!

I'm in a (Hebrew) conversation with Israelis where they're explaining to me why it's significantly easier to be vegan in Israel than it is elsewhere and it's truly fascinating to think about what is effectively the trickle down effect of kashrut-informed dietary culture in a Mediterranean setting

My happiness will be complete if he finds Jesus like David Brooks.

Today is Israel's official Memorial Day for its fallen - both for civilian victims and for lost soldiers. I'd like to direct your attention to the sacred, sacred, sacred work of the Joint Memorial Ceremony, where Palestinian and Israeli bereaved mourn together. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTKI...

The Jerusalem Cross is a symbol of the Crusades. Disingenuous people argue it’s “just a representation of Christianity and not bigoted” But we all fucking know the Crusades was about massacring anyone that wasn’t Christian. Pete Hegseth has a HUGE one tattooed on his chest It’s a symbol of hate.

The fact that the Minions actually caused the Black Deaths but let Jews take the blame is what really gets me

The Princess Bride is a fascinating landscape of all the different ethnicities that Jews can get cast as (Spanish, Italian, old shtetl Jews, assimilated American Jews who aren’t explicitly Jewish)

Damn, I guess Aaron needed a speaking to.

River forever, problems for now.

We took your website and made it gay!!! Now whenever people wear the logo they will think you are gay!!! I didn't realize it was still the early 00s.

I often get the sense that American leftists write off joint Israeli-Palestinian activism as naive kumbaya shit but whenever I read something like this I am blown away by the strength of people who have endured the worst losses possible and yet still show up with compassion for the “enemy”

Also, we lived all over the Middle East. Now, there are almost none except for a few small communities that are tokenized by their governments.

"There aren't any Jewish people I know that haven't got plans to leave... The first thing we all talk about is: What is the exit plan? Where are you going? What will you do? When will you be going? Or they're already moved or moving." www.bbc.com/news/article...

@reckless.bsky.social on the last Vergecast.

i don't think it's a spicy take to say that if you expect jewish communities to sever any physical or emotional connection to israel to prove their loyalty to your country then your views simply are definitionally incompatible with the existence of jewish communities as such

And since I'm fond of noting unusually early appearances by major political actors, I present Bernie Sanders' first appearance in July of 1981
