I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

This video tells me that while Cuomo has Jewish Facebook ‘friends’, Zohran has had late-night drunk heart-to-heart conversations with Jewish friends that involved a bunch of “I love you bro” and at least one “let’s start a band.”

This is perpetually my favorite genre of NT Good / OT Bad discourse.

neurodiversity is Good Actually. just want to say that

This is one of the best Rosh Hashanah statements I have seen from a non-Jewish politician. He seems to genuinely appreciate the holidays and what they mean to Jews.

He does good, this guy, I keep saying, most Heimish US politician I've seen in a while יהי לב יועצים ושרים ביד ה' לטובה! והמברך יתברך

I have never seen a holiday statement by a gentile that actually gets the purpose of the HHDs so well. שנה טובה זוהרן. May you be inscribed for Mayor. Uh, I mean ... for good.

Will someone please hire me to a political consulting group so I can pitch Democrats my campaign strategy of running on a platform of "we think you deserve human rights - yes, you, even if you're ______"?

One of the major lessons of the last decade in American politics has been realizing how many voters on the fence will respond to the impression of strength and raw willpower. I can't think of a Democrat who's learned it.

Did Trump win in November because he showed grace and empathy to people who voted for Joe Biden in 2020? Politics is not an Afterschool Special. You put out a strong message about what's wrong, propose a compelling policy agenda, hope the economy cooperates and that's it. None of this mush.

As I understand history, the way FDR campaigned and governed was pretty consistently hammering the shit out of the opposition party. He didn’t build his coalition with olive branches to the money trusts. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/ad...

Just on a basic level, the New Deal coalition was emphatically not built on handing it to Hoover on a couple hot button issues.

May 5786 be the year we free ourselves—may it be a year of interdependence and community—may the genocide end—may our children know the sweetness of freedom—may we remember that all the children are always ours. L’shana tova, fam.

I was looking through a therapist's bio, and her answer to this practice's get-to-know-your-therapist question "if you could have dinner with any person alive or dead, who would you pick?" was Anne Frank. Because she "led such an interesting life" and was "mature beyond her years." HARD. NOPE.

joining the war on autism on the side of autism

There's no you in eugenics.

Claiming that all organized religion is harmful when your reference point for 'organized religion' is Christianity is, in fact, a way of supporting Christian supremacy and supersessionism.

Oh, we're doing this again. Must be Rosh Hashanah. Once again relevant thread: bsky.app/profile/jsx....

The UFW wishes our Jewish friends a sweet #RoshHashanah. The first institutional religious support for grape strikers came when boards of rabbis in big Eastern cities declared boycotted products non-Kosher. More @ ufw.org/roshhashanah

I would encourage you to listen to Jewish folks, read Jewish sources on the historical impact of using Pharisee as an insult, and read this groundbreaking anthology produced by Jewish biblical scholars.

Hello. Ordained Christian clergy here to ask you to never, never, never use the word Pharisee disparagingly. The Pharisees are the ancestors to modern Judaism.

This is the funniest scam message I could get right before Rosh Hashanah. Sadly I don’t think they’re talking about being spiritually awake

Not all heroines wear capes. But they should. We should all wear capes. Capes are awesome. It's time for a revitalization of 20s fashion.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This movie understood America so fucking well it’s insane

Board games are meant to be easy to learn, quick to set up, and low-commitment fun to play. Game designers have lost their way.

I am without facial hair for the first time in 10 years or so, and somehow I think this is ... worse?

A 1000% increase in resistance to ICE, and they're scared. Keep it up.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

For me, it's "protect your neighbors".

this is the second impeachable offense worse than watergate that we have read about *today*

Today is cup shebe-quart

@clapifyoulikeme.favrd.social is a dear friend of mine and a civil litigator who has dedicated her life to doing good for the world. She is being sued by a hateful troll for a thread she wrote on Twitter, which she had every legal right to post. PLEASE if you can spare it help her out.

Wait, it removes what now?

A lot of people who posted “respect my trans homies or I'm gonna identify as a fucking problem” are pretty silent these days.

This feels like a Lenny Bruce bit.

Ah yes, parents, famous for sleeping *better* when their kid is hospitalized, and being both able and eager to pay those in-patient pediatric bills.

Cottage cheese is cringe cheese

Speaker making the connection between Christian monotheism and our cultures' monotheistic obsession with "singular scientific truth" and this is an interesting connection I hadn't thought of before. But our obsession with asking folks if they BELIEVE in science sorta clicks in this view.

The existence of goat cheese implies the existence of mid cheese and the existence of cringe cheese.

*stares in Knesset*

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

So um. This is what's been up with me for the last year. I hate hate hate asking but very much appreciate your support. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-me-if...

I am *sua sponte* wishing everyone a Good Shabbos. May you be inscribed in the Book of Life in a short and plain manner showing your entitlement to relief.

Ok, I know not EVERYTHING is a trans allegory but c'mon, KPop Demon Hunters is a trans allegory right?
