It's good anti-antisemitism to accept the notion that my Jewish community, like communities of all faiths/races, also include some of the worst people on Earth. Acknowledging our own violent supremacists humanizes the Jewish community, while exceptionalizing us aids antisemitism. 🧵

Cities do not really have democratic control over their own police departments and Dem politicians nervously pretend like they don’t notice this.

Many “Calvin and Hobbes” strips comment on the nature of art, evoking both “high art” and the supposedly opposite “low art” of comics. These moments of self-reflexivity showcase public perceptions of comics and/as art during a time of upheaval & change in American comics. 1/12 #ComicsStudies

Here's something that's bothered me for years: why are scrambled eggs so much easier to eat? I feel like I could eat 8 scrambled eggs without even thinking. Eight fried eggs feels like a lot. Eight boiled eggs? Absurd

As someone who lived in both NYC and Indonesia, I am once again pointing out that Muslims are by and large, ordinary people. They worry about all the same things you do, they get up and go to work like you do, they mourn at funerals and party at weddings. Just like you. Quit being weird.

I think people don't understand that trauma-caused boundaries aren't necessarily barriers to solidarity. Let me explain. I have a lot of Palestinian, Muslim, and SWANA clients who have experienced discrimination. Several were understandably reticent about hiring a Jewish lawyer,

A number of Jewish organizations are shrilly insisting that any criticism of Israeli genocide and warmongering is an illegitimate attack on Jews. At the same time, an increasing number of non-Jewish people are insisting that any attack on Jews is a legitimate attack on Israel. This sucks, man

i dunno man, this is all unfolding exactly the way we anti-zionist Jews warned everyone it would, and it sucks

Exactly. I liked One Battle, but it has some major issues. PTA has done much better films. I don't see Sinners as flawless, but it's definitely the better picture. I also think Coogler's best movie is ahead of him. My unasked-for $.02...

wrote about how Zionist efforts to link all Jews to the brutal policies of a violent ethnonationalist regime in Israel effectively functions as antisemitic propaganda, endangering Jewish people everywhere. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/zionist-in...

The fact that a substantial number of people who are against Zionism also seem to be against the very concept of taking anti-Diaspora antisemitism seriously is a major reason Zionism is as influential as it is in the Jewish community.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

ICE just kidnapped a Columbia student from their dorm. ICE off campus now.

I went a little overboard with this and a little bit insane. moultano.wordpress.com/2026/02/22/t...

Who is Gavin Newsom to talk about normal, when his hair screams "80's Wall Street movie villain"?

MST3K and Concrete are both back. If a new Ween album drops, it’s official: I’m back in college.

I just love how "ghostty validate-config" will say "invalid field", but not actually print out WHICH field was invalid. Just, 🤌🏼 there. Maybe it's "feature-rich" (ghostty.org/docs/about#f...) for some definitions, but it's missing the vital can-configure-without-error feature most software has.

BRB, gonna vibe code a new Git UI and call it Morging Time. Or maybe Morgius. Still workshopping it.

Watching all these people and news orgs talk about LLMs as if they were sentient reminds me of an experience back in my neuroscience days. We were looking at animal / human cognition, and reading Tomasello, who argued humans have an "intentional stance". 🧵

I bet they would be able to tell if they purchased their copper from a reputable fine premium quality copper purveyor such as myself.

My schools' responses to bullies were my first personal disillusionment with authority. They wanted to keep order, not actually fix the situation. But appeasement just encouraged them, while hitting back put an end to it.

New story up on the Homeland Security Department’s new tactic: flood social media companies with subpoenas to unmask anonymous accounts that criticize ICE or monitor the movements of ICE agents. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Abolish the fucking police.

Screenshotting this and alt texting all of it since it will most likely get deleted because Hammam is Palestinian. It deserves to be seen and not erased.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

somehow there's an update... and it's not a great look. it shouldn't be the case that the admin react when there's an outcry then just don't change whatever system they've got in place anyway.

For those struggling Have you never considered that having a disability can be & is often a massive hurdle to gainful employment? Have you considered that disability is sprawling, diverse & comes for us all? That even from a self-preservation standpoint you should advocate for disability justice?

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Just finished latest season of Fionna and Cake. It's amusing that Cheers actors are all 3 inches tall, but given that, I really want to see Shelby at the bar, saying "Check, please". #adventuretime #fionnaandcake

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse. Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch." Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

It’s fucking heartbreaking watching the pleas from MN residents start echoing the pleas from Gaza residents

Prosecute ICE.

Death Camp For Cutie

no better example of the purely cosmetic function of liberal political leaders than this stuff, the people in charge begging SOMEONE ELSE to do something

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Centrist Dems determined to lose by discouraging base turnout again. Nothing was learned from Kamala. To state the obvious, if leftists are actually powerful enough to sink a candidacy, maybe you should cater to them more? Not sure why they continue to believe they can win without their voters.

Everyone blaming Epstein for suggesting loot boxes and gambling to kids, but I think Tom Nook's interest-free loans are a ticking debt time bomb. In this essay, I will

I sell the finest quality copper in Ur. I am also willing to deliver elsewhere in Mesopotamia. Send DM to inquire about prices.
