Between this and the national guard in Memphis it’s kind of disturbing me (yes I know I’m a member of the media) the degree to which these killings aren’t really breaking thru rn

We're secretly magicians. Abara k'davra.

All the games people are playing about replacing Platner are still utterly failing to grapple with the fact that the actual, baseline issue is the Democratic Party and the left in general broke the most basic rule: “No Nazis”. Follow the “No Nazis” rule and this ended almost a YEAR ago.

My local paper didn't publish an article about last night's game. Instead, it published photos of fans watching the game, a hilarious portrait series of wide-eyed shock, facepalms and eventual resignation I love local news

Substituting "antisemitic expression" and "racism and misogyny" on each of these statements to see how they would have read "There can be no tolerance for antisemitic expression..." "There can be no tolerance for racism and misogyny..." Solid work; perhaps Warren could have said this sooner!

I am also rescinding my endorsement of Platner. He’s come along away from when I first met him, (pictured on left) to what he has become today (pictured on the right)

I’m going to say ONE thing about Platner, then move on. A lot of lefties decided that antisemitism isn’t real, that it’s invented by zionists. So even when they discovered a LITERAL NAZI SYMBOL ETCHED SEMI-PERMANENTLY ON THEIR CANDIDATE’S BODY, they couldn’t see what was right in front of them./

This is, FWIW, the same person who claims that Holocaust survivors gave her as a child nasty looks because (checks notes) she was blonde. You know, because all Jews are swarthy and no gentiles are, we can identify a gentile from a mile away.

Much of "halting government waste" increases red tape and documentation burden far beyond any original level of waste. Case in point: stopping productivity to dig up marriage and birth certificates, and God help folks who adopted because you know LLMs will process those forms incorrectly:

Dear Abby, My friend wants to set me up with a man who recently covered his Nazi tattoo. He has a history of fanboying neo-Nazi podcasters, making misogynist and racist statements, and has been accused of violence against women. OTOH, he works with his hands and votes Democrat. What do you advise?

Literally an old man yelling "get off my l̶a̶w̶n̶ pond"

Pope Leo on Popesky telling everyone once you let anyone from SSPX in the bar it becomes an SSPX bar.

To be clear, I take this position in my personal life as well as in politics. It is harmful to ask someone to change, yet continue to use the past against an individual who has done the work you've asked of them

Today I woke up to my child asking me how to make coffee, so he could make it for me after he emptied the dishwasher I AM FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN

this is what's called a mask off moment. if you follow this guy i'd recommend not doing so

I’ve had a rough week so let me just say - if you use LLMs to “improve” your science I think you’re a coward and a hack. We don’t need more science faster, even if LLMs make that possible. We need thoughtful science done by people who like doing it.

I have to miss shul tomorrow I hate missing shul on Shabbat, it ruins the whole week

Opinion | I still resent being denied tenure at Yale nearly a decade ago. Therefore most academic research should stop; if I can't do it, no one can

Step one: lose war Step two: sign controversial peace deal in Versailles Step three: political leaders blame defeat on Jews Step four: oh no

This person, a retired middle school principal, justifies antisemitism by referencing a foreign government's bad behavior. And people wonder why I dream about removing my children from public school

Please friends, before you make a snide comment about the attendees of this spectacle, remember Justice Gorsuch's call for civility.

(1) This was about maintaining power (2) Tellingly, grain/bread was distributed only to a limited number of male citizens - who then further contributed to consolidating and maintaining power (3) Until it all fell apart, of course

Every time I see folks refer to Platner as "Oyster Boy" it makes me a little sad because he's a trashy person, whereas The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories is one of my favorites, and it was my gateway into authors like Edward Gorey and Ruth Krauss

People were burned out of their homes with children inside. City busses were set on fire. This is what the face of DHS is supporting?

Alejandra doesn't complain much, (which I really respect), but this behavior by Ben Ryan towards her where he narrates everything she posts as if it's news is uncomfortable, unbalanced, and has a dark, menacing undercurrent.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is, btw, the thought process that led the US to support Pinochet and Suharto

One thing that nobody tells you when you're diagnosed with a degenerative disease is that it will both be exacerbated by and exacerbate every other negative thing that happens to your body.

Since the CORRECTED version of the photo isn't going viral and I keep seeing the above screenshot posted on FB, here's the version that Ryan posted an hour after the original was posted.

The new Department of Defense faith codes list also classifies Orthodox Judaism as a type of Orthodox Christianity and "Reformed Judaism" as a type of Reformed Christian, while classifying Messianic Jews as a type of Judaism.

It's no fun to argue against the views of people who have such low reading comprehension that they don't perceive the argument

"Nazi tattoos are fine, but I draw the line at..." is probably where our movements are starting to fail, I dunno

I for one am shocked that someone who branded himself with a Nazi tattoo would be a violent misogynist, this is completely unexpected and I don't blame any of you who didn't see this coming. In fact, it was probably all a misunderstanding, and anyway self -medication is just what senators do.

As a progressive Jew & son of Israelis: 1. We have been warning you about how antisemitism destroys movements from within. 2. Many white leftists blame Israel for everything to avoid focusing on their own role in white supremacy. 3. Accepting Nazis into the movement is proof of both of the above.

This isn't some witch hunt. It's a Zionist hunt. Duh.

It's the Totenkopf tattoo, the verbalized admiration for white supremacist podcast Valhalla VFT, the history of racist and misogynist comments, and the near total lack of history of progressive action outside of campaigning - and during campaigns, candidates are highly motivated to lie and obfuscate

Tell me the truth: how much of your farm share goes to waste? I've been picking up a friend's share these past few weeks and I gotta be honest with you, I was not prepared for this much cabbage and summer squash every. Single. Week.

MIT closing three of its four libraries is shocking and appalling and underscores that the source of so much of the crisis in higher education comes not from attacks from the far right or the collapse of public trust, but rather from the university administrative class itself.

I think the main thing that the Platner discourse tells me is that "Nazi" is a boogie man for a lot of people, a monster. Nevermind that the US Nazi party was very popular before Germany became the enemy - a person who says reasonable things and doesn't seem to be a monster can't be a Nazi.

About 1 in 5 hospice patients are discharged because they're not dying "fast enough." It turns out that doctors are not psychics, they can't predict with 100% accuracy who will die within 6 months

I think Graham Platner has the Trumpian appearance of "blank slate despite all contrary data; project your personal political fantasies onto this candidate," and that's why folks like this 👇 keep demanding evidence that Platner is a bigot after having received such evidence

Adam and Eve were vegans

I just bought my kids $1200 worth of math curricula and now I feel like a sucker 😭

There was not a course on this, so I helped design a second-year Women, Magic and Power class that tied the rise of Spiritualism to feminism and feminist movements I was a hard science major

I am aware of the universal law that dictates all Taylor Lorenz discourse must take place on Shabbat so I have minimal exposure (thank you Hashem), but it remains super annoying to see this defeatist pisher whine about Food Inaccessibility without mentioning therapy PT, OT and ST exist, Taylor

Andrew is an antisemite. Antisemites deserve to be blocked into oblivion; they are not worthy of our attention or time.

Great thread below, and here's a thread of what I'd like to see in Jewish kidlit

Strong evidence that the shooters at the mosque in San Diego yesterday held both Islamophobic and antisemitic beliefs. Our safety is bound up together, no matter how much politicians may try to divide us.

I often hear "cash is king" when it comes to teacher gifts, but I am here to report that two classes of students made me cards and wrote notes thanking me for teaching them math, telling me the impact, so no, cash is not king. Knowing how students feel about you is truly being treated like royalty.

LIKE I SAID
