I saw Mayor Pete speak last night and he pitched a constitutional amendment to override citizens united

that pierogi guy has done more to punish than etc etc

I just don't understand why people can't get the concept of hating individuals down right. Hate all the individuals you want to for things they have done. You have a target rich environment, there are plenty of people to hate. Just do not hate groups of people. It should be easy, but we fail.

I cant believe I have to say this, but a person who is objectively bad happening to be Jewish or even having loose connections to the IDF does not automatically make all Jews evil

Micah is such a sweetheart and way more nice than he needs to (or I would) be.... He's right. This is blatant antisemitism. This is hateful shit. Theres no reason for this.

I'm a leftist. I believe in leftist goals. At the same time there are tons of disingenuous leftists pedaling antisemitism as anti-zionism. I'd like to believe they dont know better, but they should. I am sick and tired of explaining how Jews =\= Israel. I will stay your leftist ally, please be mine.

I regret to inform you that having watched the Mayor Pete Q&A that unfortunately he is a Disney Adult

a typo in a banger is just a post's beauty mark

@occupydemocrats.bsky.social felt the need to identify Les Wexner as Jewish Are we now adding religion & ethnicity to everyone everywhere or just when Jewish? Also, with all the men named in the Epstein files, the majority aren't ✡️ or connected to 🇮🇱 and yet, that keeps being said. Antisemitism

I think a lot of non-Jewish leftists on here think antisemitism isn't an issue bc it's not expressed the same way as it is on the right But I've talked to other Jewish leftists on here & we're like...very aware of how quiet gentile mufos get re: posts about antisemitism. It's noticeable.

Something I appreciate on this app is the number of antizionist and non-Zionist Jews who are willing to explain why and exactly how something someone else said is antisemitic, without using it as a cudgel. I suppose sitting in those conversations is a matter of survival. I'm still grateful tho.

biiiiiiiiiiiiig YUP

Antisemitism is alive and well on the left. And if you're a leftist tempted to reply with a no-true-Scotsman "liberals not leftist" argument, consider that antisemitism is alive and well among both leftists and liberals and your comment does not help anyone.

Like I said a couple years ago, leftist antisemitism is getting worse. Like, we're at the Naming The Jew stage and next I guess will be the triple parentheses

Isabella Wranå won gold for curling, but should've for this video

I am so fucking tempted to write an annoyingly long and detailed but fascinating thread on the action sports history of how all of the freestyle snowboard/skiing & ski/snowboard-cross olympic event formats were ripped off from the XGames, whose big air event ripped off the air and style contest

mens snowboard big air the scores came in as just the final exact score womens snowboard big air (started after mens was finished) they're showing each judges score and judge's country, which high/low scores got cut out and the ones left averaged to make the score what happened between events?

I just saw a video of the eiffel 65 daft punk ice dancing and its instantly an all time top tier olympics moment

the nbc olympic broadcasts are def using AI closed captioning, there are lots of mistakes with words that are sorta phonetically similar, these captions def werent composed by or even got screened by an actual human I do captions, use auto transcribe then fix things, these are like mistakes I fix

they got tara lapinski doing the macareña during commercials what decade is it

If there was a genuine pro-billionaire march and a satirical one, would you be able to tell them apart? Some real Poe's law.

every time a random website asks my age I put 9/11/01

I am totally cool with US residents not calling our country "America" because of this but I will never be on board for the term "USian" we need a better term

too many legendary musicians have died in past week I think we're due for a good death I am not naming names cause of bsky moderation but you know the few dozen people I mean

It is. The Jewish Musuem in Prague has a collection of children's drawings from the Terezin ghetto. It was the worst thing I've seen in my life.

but if everyone leaves discord cause of age verification where are we supposed to source interpersonal bluesky drama?

were the figure skaters all told to use 90s music or did it just happen like that

my parents have tickets to a "distinguished speakers series" where someone speaks then does a Q&A, I went with mom to Trevor Noah and Sanna Marin cause dad had no interest... tomorrow is Mayor Pete, dad hates him as much as me for different reasons, so I'm gonna go w/ mom. For science. Pray for me.

watch out israel a new right of return has emerged

these skiers go up to 90 MPH!???? have you ever stuck your head out the window of a car going even near that????????

I have been to Duluth (and MN in general) exactly two times and yell at me if I'm wrong but I would call Duluth the twin cities' weird fun artsy lil neighbor

did I hear these announcers right? the curling capitol of the united states is...... DULUTH

many of you may have seen this before, but I've been looking up docs on the us Japanese internment camps and came across this absolutely *chilling* gov-produced upbeat doc about how great they are... youtu.be/yVyIa11ZtAE?...

To tack onto this: the interesting thing here is that while I didn’t understand a word of this performance, I immediately grasped the story it was telling. Unlike literally every previous SB halftime show, I didn’t have to say “what the fuck” even one time!

they called him "Ned" Stark as foreshadowing cause its a portmanteau of "no" and "head"

Jay-Z: 25 Grammy's, 89 nominations Kid Rock: 0 Grammy's, 5 nominations

strange to think a secret service agent could be a hero by doing the exact opposite thing they were hired for

biggest tech revolution in history

Happy Monday. I wasn’t really planning on getting involved in the local elections this year but since Nithya just announced her campaign…. There’s about to be a bunch of misinformation spread about this mayoral race. I think I have to start pushing more for @raeforla.bsky.social. Let’s go, Rae!

you know what, facebook, I do

I would like to like in a world where when I hear about something good I dont immediately try to figure out how its a scam

blue wave clout chaser misinfo is getting out of control

alternatively-- all the coaches who are former olympians get to compete again, straight to finals

here me out

after all the medals are given out, they should run the whole thing back, do it again just for funsies but all the athletes get randomly assigned a different sport

*watching women's snowboard big air qualifiers* *american rider from new jersey* me: "they have mountains in new jersey?" announcer: "shes a very accomplished winner of rail contests" me: "yeah that tracks"

fellow engineers, you really need to start asking yourself some questions when building something: 1. how will the police use what i'm making? 2. what kinds of people are the police going to use it against? 3. how many people will be harmed in silence before we find out?

times like these I'm reminded there are actually two of them
