If you aren't aware, the idea that Modern Hebrew contains significant vocabulary influence (say, on the order of French on English or even half that) from Yiddish or Arabic is purely Arab social media brainrot

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot. The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Stay gold, Tulsa

Look, we can lose our minds in a depressing way or a fun way

Frank Sinatra on what it means to be an American in 1945

Yep. Gene was founding member of the Committee for the First Amendment, a group of Hollywood artists who formed in 1947 to oppose the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and defend free speech.

Just watch how long this clip goes before there's a cut.

Scenes from an intensely joyful and painful Hoshanah Rabbah... 1/

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

Oh my goodness!! Alberta High School IB students have organized a free tutoring service for the core subjects 🥹✊ The solidarity they have with each other and with their teachers is beyond anything I could have imagined. Check out their Instagram page or website. Support them if you can!

Argh. Got a huge medical bill. I'm pretty certain that at least $500 of it is actually an error, but I'll have to make a bunch of phone calls to get that resolved, and I'm in a ton of pain and already behind on everything and don't have time for even more stuff.

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”

the reason many jews, including non- and anti-zionists, are upset by this meme is because it relies on an older antisemitic trope about jews being a parasitic race with no culture of our own. but a consequence of diaspora is that our culture has always been enmeshed with the societies we live in.

People in Ohio: if I go to another state and do the “confirm your location” thing there, will I still be able to use DMs when I get back to Ohio?

Brain fog sucks. Losing words is kind of scary.

Not the main point here, which is as Revan says just gutter anti-Semitism, but it does make me genuinely aggravated how utterly ignorant and uncurious these people are about very basic concepts of how cuisine travels and how food history works, which are really interesting topics!

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States. Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Frogs here, frogs there, frogs were jumping everywhere

The whistle thing seems to actually work?

The problem with the state of Israel is that its government committed a genocide in Gaza and is committing apartheid in the West Bank, not the food they eat there.

If cultural appropriation is specifically referring to directly stealing another person's creative product and profiting off of it, that is a legitimate concern. But a lot of people go beyond that and imagine some sort of "pure" culture untainted by cultural interchange. Which is deeply reactionary!

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

@mit.edu has done an incredibly important service to the nation by being willing to be the first school to reject the administration's "compact." President Kornbluth focuses—and she's right—on the principle that "scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."

This is weird, and wrong, and also not even answering the very simple question asked.

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Couldn't believe my ears when that music AI guy said nobody actually enjoys making music. That ranks as one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Anybody who knows how to make music enjoys making music. Why would they have ever learned to do it if it didn't bring them joy?

In Beita, Israeli settlers, with the support of soldiers, attacked Palestinian olive harvesters. The settlers fired live bullets and burned four vehicles. Several Palestinians were injured by live gunfire, stones, and beatings. Soldiers also fired live ammunition and tear gas at the villagers.

Everything bagel, vegan scallion cream cheese, capers, and onions. I could only get elected in certain neighborhoods.

Ok, did not expect “The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe” to feel quite so relevant to this moment. Here’s Edmund, deciding to side with the leader who he’s been told disappears people.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old. There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

I just keep coming back to this, the most obvious lacunae in every conversation about “incorporating AI” into our classrooms: no one—literally NO ONE—can explain how it improves the work of learning & knowledge-making. There is, in fact, overwhelming evidence to the contrary. This whole thread.

This is how Trumpism squares the circle of using antisemitic tropes against bad rootless diaspora Jews while also claiming to be acting to protect Jews. They, the Christian nationalists, get to decide who is a Jew and who is therefore deserving of protection. Jews as symbols of Christian politics.

Being in too much pain to get organized enough to make the appointment to see the doctors and specialists who might help me be in a little less pain. There should be a way around this.
