This took me a whole month to read bc it was heavy AF, but wow. Haunted and wrenching.

Ok so I’ve read enough fawning takes on Hamnet the book now that there’s a movie coming out, but not from people and writers I know/trust and I’m suspicious that they’re moving-coming-out-publicity fawning takes: have any of you read it? What’d you think?

Sure is.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Yup. Russia has been ruled by Putin for a quarter century (and mostly supports the war on Ukraine) but folks aren’t saying Russians as individuals are evil, etc. Same for China/Chinese ppl & Uyghurs, etc.

So much, and the β€œdark” (and coincidentally also bad) people to the south and east! The races! The Hobbits getting to their happy ending by ethnically cleansing Hobbiton 🫠

The ADL needs to:

* STFU and disband and never be seen again

-or-

* get hostilely taken over by someone who gives a shit about anti defamation, FFS.

Man, I had to unfollow and block a person I liked on here bc they slid right past protesting Israel’s actions and right into full-on anti-Jewish conspiracies. (Apparently it’s now nefarious that Judaism is a religion and an ethnicity.)

Many such cases, I know, but each one feels sad.

He definitely looks like he’s gearing up for some hate speech. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

No bc Arab and Muslim are two different things, whereas Jewish and Jewish… aren’t.

I don’t know anything about how Israel classifies things. I’m Jewish and also atheist, as is most of my mom’s family; it is an ethnicity for us and many Jews, not so much a religion. I’m Jewish but not Israeliβ€”so your question really doesn’t make any sense to me.

Who’s β€œthey”? Ethnicity is about culture, not necessarily race. Also, if you know anything about the process of conversion to Judaism, it really is a primer on a culture, not just a religion.

He has been a piece of shit for decades.

Also, not necessarily unrelatedly? he looks like Alito’s sibling in this photo.

Well, there’s Judaism.

This is the best thing I have read today by far. I love your grandma in law, and obviously this is what mine is for too!
