I feel like Blondie quickly ran out of things to rap about in Rapture.

Now is not the time to mourn... *pulls out the Cope Stone*

Made a matzoh cubano yesterday, would recommend if you’re trying to be a little treyf with it

I can't believe the "New Yorker" REJECTED this cartoon!

Genuinely moved by how present wallace shawn has been throughout all stages of me consuming media, from the princess bride onward. The Fever may be the most open and honest performance I’ve ever seen

NYTimes has spent years breathlessly repeating claims that objecting to the treatment of Palestinians is antisemitic, but when right-wingers say they're “J-pilled,” NYTimes calls this "slang for skepticism of Israeli influence." Where's the "J" in "Israel"? Might that "J" mean something else?

“What are your thoughts on ABS in baseball?” *Awooga 😍*

whether war, vaccines, or critical infrastructure there is contingent of the right that seems to believe that their security from the worst things that happen is some kind of metaphysical principle rather than the result of specific historical processes that could've gone otherwise and still could

The Book of Esther is so full of intrigue... It's a real cloak and grogger story.

We have always been at war with Middle East Asia

Any self-preservation oriented Jewish institution should be rushing to align with Zohran and other humanist, cosmopolitan voices of Palestine solidarity who don't see it as an excuse to reopen the Jewish Question. Instead they're smearing him as a Nazi. It's fucking grim.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
