Seeing Digger the evening after seeing You Can See Everything may not have been the wisest choice in retrospect but holy shit. Don't know how you would sell it better, but it goddamn deserves better (@annenotation.bsky.social - you can +1 to your tally of "online people you convinced to see Digger")

i say this from time to time but it's really a shame that the ADL has become what it's become, because we sure could use an American organization against Jew-hatred that wasn't badly fumbling its mission. (sit down, Bob Kraft, you're extremely not helping)
If Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed had used the word “Shylock” as an insult, the ADL would be attacking them by name relentlessly. But Donald Trump used it, so we get a generic condemnation of the word without any specific reference to who actually used it, and with no assumption of intent.
The ADL is a fucking disgrace, not that this is new. Giving them money needs to start being a black mark
The ADL finally chimes in… with one very short post: "The term 'Shylock' is rooted in a longstanding antisemitic stereotype. Regardless of intent, its use can reinforce harmful tropes about Jews and normalize language that has long been used to target the Jewish community."
Again, I know reading books makes you a "charts pervert", but "it" was not, in fact, "done to the Nazis", despite much more widespread support for it than you will ever get against the GOP. 24 of them were put on trial, and a lot of the rest were allowed to persist and work in the government.
Cute hypothetical. Here's mine. People who behave with inhumanity can be revoked of the same. It was done to the Nazis to excellent effect, and if we'd done it to The Confederacy instead of dropping Reconstruction we wouldn't still be dealing with the MAGA Trash now.

It's not funny, Yandex data centers only do this when they're very distressed
After years of warnings that the war in Ukraine could spiral into a full-on Russia-Europe conflagration, the conflict has reached a point where this is a real possibliity. It’s a prospect that threatens not just European lives but the entire globe.
See, you know who can't organize on WhatsApp? You know who doesn't have access to the financial system? Hamas. Treat these pieces of shit just the same as them
A Hilltop Youth WhatsApp group posted a "summary of a month of struggle against the Arab enemy,” with a list of 43 West Bank towns and villages and the number of settler attacks mounted against each over the past month. From today's @jewishcurrents.bsky.social news desk newsletter.
This isn't mine, but it's still fun and on-topic - Sterling Cooper in Mad Men uses a font that is technically available at the time the show is set, but it is highly unlikely an American company would be using it before the 70s www.marksimonson.com/notebook/vie...
Just once, I would love to hear how many of these apparently vivacious socialites regaling us with these anti-tech articles ever spoke to or praised a cab driver before it became a contrarian virtue signal
Waymo wants us to give up the car keys. But what are we if not drivers? Molly Fischer on the view from the back seat. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this
Alternately, you can remember when antisemitic trash Mehdi Hasan had a widdle tantrum as he realized his Nazi rapist hero wasn't going to become a Senator
It would be nice if Western media gave a damn about the Israelis killed *by Israel* on October 7th. They may not - but we here at Zeteo do. Watch @mehdirhasan.bsky.social take you through that day, explaining the secretive 'Hannibal Directive' and how it was deployed by the Israeli military.
We have found the leftist Wario to the dumbass argument "Why do you care so much about Palestine, they'd kill you for being queer and Tel Aviv has a pride parade"
stumbled across this, and its amazing to see people say what I've said about "Queers for Palestine" demanding that LGBT people give up on their rights where they live to spend all their time fighting for people who don't support them in other countries and they're like "yeah that right!"
This is slander. Sometimes, in the hands of a Nobel Prize-winning author, "purge the vampire scum" can be about the dangers of assimilation www.commentary.org/articles/s-a...
We avoid things like "this monster is always chaotic evil" because it's bad writing that encourages a smallness of mind, not because it's necessarily* The Monsters Are Marginalized People in Fantasy Clothes * that said "purge the vampire scum" fiction just seems to end up in antisemitic blood libel
Dear me, @stampthefuture.bsky.social has blocked me, but I so admire his cutting-edge scholarship, I just have to keep a remnant of it on my feed
It's probably OK if the person saying something better than you is Joyce Carol Freaking Oates
Not to interrupt BlueSky circle jerking about their tasteful and unique connection to art, but if the most popular literary genre really is those romantasy books with Light Novel titles and music has a similar pattern, then AI can absolutely feed that content mill

"Encouraging autistic men to go around asking to see women's boobs" Fucking hell, that sentence is causing every legal and HR department in SV to smell burnt toast. At last, rationalists have recreated the strip club from first principles, including weird delusions about the women being into it.
Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.
The "family in the West Bank" part is just the final *chef's kiss* touch. You didn't have to do this, lady, you could get the praise you wanted by just going full-on Cool Jew.
A veteran Philadelphia School District educator has claimed at times to be Palestinian and Black. But Hannah Gann, it turns out, is white and Jewish and lied about her identity for years.
Funnily enough, while looking up this vermin's fine work, I found this excellent dunk she made on her squeamish colleague Cenk Uyger and despite dril's caution on the matter, I absolutely do have to hand it to her for having a better grasp of the term "Zionism" than half the people in this Discourse
