A meaningful number of prominent people seem to believe that a corollary to “not all expressions of anti-Zionism are antisemitic” (true) is that “anything expressed as anti-Zionism is not antisemitic” (screamingly false)

this race-bending the new musketeers thing is taking it way too far, next they'll be claiming Dumas was black or something

Adding to Joel's great point: Christians who have seen Judaism like this have at times gone on not just to ignore the Talmud but to deny it is even "valid" for Jews, telling Jews they're being Jewish "wrong." It's an ahistorical conservatism that demands stagnation on others, for apocalyptic ends.

Rambling Holocaust denier is still on bluesky and still going. Currently going on about casualty figures in war as showing the Holocaust didn’t happen

Was anyone operating under the assumption that the current Israeli government is not violently pro-settler?

There is now a Dyslexia Hebrew font available for download:

The Art of War is very funny once you understand it for what it actually is, which is Warfare 101 For Dipshit Nobles the intended audience is exactly people like Pete Hegseth

Bluesky has activated the Emergency Pervert Filter, which makes the site basically unusable for known perverts. This filter was activated hours ago. Anyone struggling to use the site should notify their local police. Thank you!

you could honestly write a philosophical paper in the style of Baudrillard titled "will stancil does not exist" that goes into detail about how will stancil has been turned into an empty signifier that angry leftists fill in with their own neuroses about "liberals"

If your toaster starts working like this website today, report it to us on SaferProducts.gov.

The Lord replied, "The times when the servers weren't working, my child, is when I tried to get you to log off."

An irony about this is where many white guys see high status groups full of white guys as proof of white guy superiority I see it as a warning sign that the group is full of self-congratulatory idiots.

Superior male intelligence: announcing this in an AP class that was 2/3rds girls.

Stop using the word Pharisee to mean evil FFS

“Christianity without the New Testament.” He means Judaism. He’s talking about Judaism.

Far too many people let Zuckerberg off the hook for the genocide he helped foment and that's a very real problem with harmful outcomes.

It's not hypocrisy to say "we should have standards for Dems like 'not having Nazi tattoos '"

The Talmud is known for entertaining bizarre hypotheticals, but it also recognizes that some hypothetical scenarios are stupid and not worth engaging. (1/5)

You know that saying, "it's turtles all the way down?" It's true

Rabbis asked: how does one make it clear they are joking? Abaye says, “mark your post as humorous, either through a tag or a parenthetical statement.” Rava says, “tagging a joke undercuts it. As long as a reasonable person can tell you’re joking, it is considered clear.”

I mean, of course. And some hold that this is only explicitly in the context of a joke contest. But the majority says that such jokes can be made at any time, so long as it is clear that one is joking.

Sure, but that’s only if the one making the joke is Jewish. Even Beit Hillel doesn’t support preachers using “Pharisee“ as a slur (though their position on using specifically “Beit Shammai“ as a slur is unclear).

Well, that's the law according to Beit Shammai. Beit Hillel is more permissive and also allowed it in cases of making bad jokes.

Pretty sure the American response to this is going to be "Chumbawamba had a second song?"

The sheer glee people have when they have discovered a magical adjective to place in front of 'woman' that makes the misogyny ok lmao

My poor girl Maiasaura done wrong again

Oops, I accidentally started some discourse and my mentions got exciting for a minute. I didn’t actually expect a toss off comment about Japanese communists to get more than a chuckle 😭

I’m Jewish and I know the Catholic answer to this 🤦‍♀️

i don't know what's wrong with the adult convert pipeline. i can only assume they're handing out little saint medallions and an anti-abortion bumper sticker and calling it a day

i will never forget the time that [unnamed prominent adult catholic convert] took to twitter to ask whether jesus was man or god, as though it were a small point of "christology" and not the subject of the nicene creed and the primary issue in a very major heresy.

if anything this is more proof that he's a war porn guy who's really into the aesthetics of violence which is absolutely not the kind of guy you want to be a senator given the War Powers Act

'misuse of therapy speak' was actually the free space in the middle of my bingo card

Subterranean Homesick Jews

any half-decent dungeons and dragons player could parlay the ability to teleport, but only to a waffle house, into being a billionaire in under a year.

Amazing how people who say they hate Christianity also hate being given a different perspective of Jesus. Don’t do the supersessionist routine please. If for no other reason then I will start hauling out the Jewish minutia

Stalin 🤝 Hitler Murdering entire peoples across Central and Eastern Europe for ego and empire

I want everyone in America to hate JD Vance as much as I hate JD Vance, and the biggest contributor to my cause is one JD Vance.

Yeah, people routinely underestimate how much government services cost relative to what the ultra-wealthy have. For example, if we somehow instituted a wealth tax, took half of Musk's total wealth, and used it to pay for everyone's health care then the money would run out in less than one month.

Please check out this alt text, it’s good

“I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology.” bitch you have been Catholic for three weeks, who cares what YOU think about matters of theology

Bluesky is stepping up their deletion of compromised accounts turned to scamming. The most recent one got suspended while I was reporting it

Spain figured it out? SPAIN? Yeah, this one hurts.

Interesting

@realfollowers.bsky.social this sounds neat

Imagine doing Holocaust denial on Yom HaShoah and expecting to get a friendly reception

Bim bam, bim bim bim bam…
