Urgent! I only have a few hours left to raise $475! Please repost when you see this. Every dollar helps.

"We should improve America somewhat." "And yet, America has always been bad. Curious! I am very smart."

I'm not a real Jew But l'm the proxy-Jew for these doomers to yell at because they're too devoid of principle or integrity to yell at who they're really angry at

Well, if nothing else is going that well, at least I made it to here.

Fixed it? 😂😂😂

I love the Prologue to NATASHA, PIERRE AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 because it’s basically “Chad Gadya.” (Or “The Little Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly,” sure.)

Instagram showed me Matt Bernstein’s reel where he’s like, “Israel is holding a giant pride parade! Here’s why the country actually sucks on gay rights!” And like, fine, whatever. But it reminded me of a few weeks ago another YouTuber pointed out Japan had a big pride parade as evidence …

Wow.

Unclear what to do about this but it’s a legit problem! Huge waste of court resources, not to mention the people who will be forced to retain counsel to defend themselves against baseless suits

I can relate because during the Instacart discourse with Jorts the cat someone claimed that they couldn’t shop in person due to overchoice and showed a picture of 8 varieties of Honey Bunches of Oats and I was like, “Where the hell do you shop where there are 8 varieties of Honey Bunches of Oats?”

Yeaaaaah, there’s a reason I don’t follow Alastor’s VA and now I have another one.

4) regulating delivery services to address labor and environmental issues will make them more, not less expensive 5) even the most dedicated rice-and-beans thrift-head has their little luxuries, and nobody should begrudge anyone else their little luxuries

My unlovable centrist take is 1) it is OK for people, even poor people, to make tradeoffs for convenience 2) healthy and cost-efficient cooking requires an investment of time, effort, and practice 3) disabled people have much better food options than restaurant delivery basically everywhere

You know what? You can say a lot about Playboy but they know what their audience (people on Bluesky) likes.

I really feel like all of you talking to that one guy should remember that thing Sartre said about antisemites but I keep liking your dunks anyway so I guess I’m part of the problem.

Picture of me in my late 20s:

The thing is I over relied on going out to eat in my 20s because I worked a long hour job for less pay than the job deserved and it WAS bad for my budget and maybe was something I could have managed with better prep/alternative solutions but I would NEVER have called tipping a “tax on the poor.”

This place is still better than Xitter but sometimes the Hitler particles get particularly high.

It sucks that online bad faith discourse about I/P has brain poisoned me so much that when I read some of my Golda Meir biography I learned she raised money for the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and I felt fucking furious. I just wish I could live in the timeline where I’d have a “Wow, cool” reaction.

Now that he’s been defeated, it’s a good time to remember this post from Thomas Massie. Compare the attention this got from major American Jewish organizations like the ADL & AJC to Ilhan Omar’s “all about the Benjamins” comment, and it’s impossible to deny there is a racist double standard at play.

I made a donation to the victims of the Islamic Center of San Diego and I encourage you to do the same if you’re able

Good news! My gf got an offer and starts her new job at the end of the month!! But the bad news is she likely won’t be getting paid for a minute and I still need help covering the room for the upcoming week. I need to raise $900 by Friday. Any bit helps!

This is the most corrupt act by a sitting President in modern American history. It is not close. I will use every tool I have in Congress to fight it. I will support every lawsuit challenging it. This must not stand.

Ok I’m usually too far removed from Freida Vizel’s life experiences to get really into her content but this is a genius idea for an ex-frum video essay (for Shavuot!).

So, uh, I picked this audiobook of THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS up again and … apparently this is a two-volume book, and in the second part his wife and kids are going on the pilgrimage …

If I haven’t explicitly said it yet, the San Diego Islamic Center shooting is horrific and exactly what happens when a gun happy country lets Islamophobia run rampant.

It’s hard not to respond to things that are untrue when the person saying the thing does not care, especially if it’s in defense of someone who’s not that great.

NEW: @Axios.com interviewed two dozen Jewish members of Congress and congressional candidates about their experiences w/ antisemitism and reviewed dozens of blatantly antisemitic voicemails, letters and emails to their offices. Here’s what we found: www.axios.com/2026/05/18/a...

Essay: “The show lampshades that we must be disgusted by this whore’s vile wickedness!” People Who Watch The Show: “I demand satisfaction for being denied Verosika’s pink ass.”

I do think it’s funny that Rottika’s misogyny in HELLUVA BOSS essay in part rested on the assumption that the show wanted the audience to hate Verosika and then the fans ended up cyber bullying a cast member because she didn’t appear in a short.

What you see in this screengrab are young kids with their hands on each other's shoulders as police escort them to safety after shooters attack their school and the mosque housing it. In another context, you'd think they're playing a game. This is not normal. This is not ok.

Logging back on from the beginning of my weeklong hiking vacation to see that two fascist freaks decided to shoot up people like me. If you are one of the people who have even once indulged in anti Arab and anti Muslim sentiment, on here, off here, anywhere, you're part of the problem. Fuck you.

daaaamn london

Me, Who Only Read the Book: “So, is this a reference to that rabbi in THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA who … oh, yeah, it is.”

Pancakes, eggs, OJ. Waiter/waitress can have the rest.

Actually, fuck it, I know exactly what I would have enjoyed about a theoretical DRAG RACE ISRAEL. 1) Lip syncs in Hebrew 2) Challenges based on making an outfit based on the contestants’ hometown/ethnicity 3) THE HOT TAKES IN THE WERKROOM.

The two types of anime fan are “As a rightist, I adore Gayqueer McTransmarx, a character I believe embodies conservative values,“ and “As a leftist, I’m a big fan of Hitlerhito Tokyonazi’s ’Manchuria Deserved It’ franchise.”

I don’t care about Israel at Eurovision but I would have totally watched DRAG RACE ISRAEL that never happened. It could have played for two seasons and not been on the US World of Wonder app and I would have set a VPN to Tel Aviv and endured shitty AI English subtitles.

My thoughts on Israel and Eurovision is it’s not that serious but the contest would be well within its rights to kick them out or Israel should maybe the L and leave … but it’s whatever. If Israel left and joined Russia’s shitty alternate Eurovision I’d be weirdly pissed, though.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Saw the BJG clip about how she’d vote for Tucker Carlson over AOC and I’m really trying not to say something that would get me cancelled.

I don't know where this bizarre idea that China has universal health care comes from, but it very much does not by any normal standard. It has a highly tiered system that brutally discriminates against rural patients and imposes often crippling financial costs.

Okay, on the one hand I don’t think anyone should have to do something like this. But on the other, completely understandable and lk hilarious.

The thing is the Full Moon deal is more like a guy finds a dude squatting in his attic and when the guy finds him the dude is like, “HEY! Wanna fuck?” And then the guy is like, “… You know what, if you wanna keep doing that you can stay.”

In Search of Lost Tyme and Grogu "Thys ys Swann's Way"

I decided to have curry for my evening at home tonight but I don’t know if I was well enough to eat it.

I’m reading WATERSHIP DOWN for the first time at 41 and it does weird me out that the central conflict for the latter half of the book is “get bitches.”
