“Promotes ICE training in Israel” is a warmed-over lie that goes back years. It appeared in 2020 as “IDF trains US cops”.

US Leftists when US cops do something very US: “what are we, a bunch of Israelis?”

Not every shitty U.S. can be blamed on Israel, we’re shitty all by ourselves

And again, Chabad is widespread but managed to somehow not be subsumed into the Russian Empire

I’ve studied with people who come from the Chabad tradition but fine, fair enough

Having read how authoritarian Jesus is, I just don’t see how the two would be equally destructive. I’d bet they probably share a number of the same conservative ideas. It was also my understanding the Besht condemned asceticism as destructive to one’s spiritual wellbeing

More trees yes please. It’s depressing walking down what feels like a concrete wasteland

"Oh but the signs are performative, it's just virtue-signalling, it's cringe" maybe, but I'd rather be walking around a neighborhood with In This House signs than trump signs. The jargon doesn't do anything for anyone though

The ADL represents the Stephen Miller wing of American Jews—and that’s it. They’ve betrayed the community they claim to defend.

Reddit atheists have all the fervent, condescending dogmatism of a religious zealot, but none of the romance.

Yeah I could see that. At least the Baal Shem Tov never said stuff like “ better to anoint me than sell expensive perfume for charity” or “I’ve not come to bring peace but the sword” or attack working class shmoes trying to make a wage in a corrupt system

Yeah everybody I talk to about this is like “nah I’m done with target, I’ve already found a way to live without it in my life”

Marco Rubio wearing a navy suit and black dress shoes. He's looking down at his feet.

"i think he bought the wrong size"

The sort of complicating thing here is that the textual history of the Gospels is messy enough that they post-date things like the Epistles of Paul - who has not read them and makes no reference to them.

not being allowed to say no is incel language

(this includes when apps ask if you want to enable a feature and your options are “yes” or “later”)

Waiting on him to get to 27:25 come Easter

THEN RELEASE THEM, YOU COWARD

Completely out of touch

We talkin about Good Vibrations vis-a-vis SMiLE? Cuz that might actually succeed at doing so

🧵A thread about the Jewish community, Democrats, and Israel🧵

Rahm Emanuel, the über-centrist former Chicago mayor eyeing a presidential bid, just told a reporter that Bibi "led the Jewish people into a ghetto."

Jewish establishment sees cracks like this as a crisis. I believe it's an opportunity.

Every Trump Truth Social post on this war is just that clip of Zap Brannigan shouting "Stop exploding, you cowards!!"

today's my father's yahrzeit. If anyone says kaddish, I'd be very thankful if you mentioned his name: Benjamin bar Benjamin. 🕯️

“I’ll call out the lies these people constantly spew. Unless it confirms my own bigotries. Then they said something factual an insightful”

Thanks a lot, @geoffgarin.bsky.social

Any other brilliant centrist punditry?

That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.

This is such a classic dictator trope — forcing subordinates to copy your style — that I thought it couldn’t possibly be real. Think Mao Zedong and the “Mao Suit,” or Saddam Hussein and “The Mustache", or Joseph Stalin and the “Generalissimo” outfit.

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

Tiramisu is a millennial and pickleball is a boomer

Sneaky Majority-Jewish nation sneakily manipulating the U.S. into doing its bidding?

Here's my view on it: You know how you watch an entire TV episode or movie (or season) and it turns out at the end it Was All A Dream? I hate that. I feel like I wasted my time.

That's how I feel about AI writing. I might like it while reading it. But in the end I feel my time has been wasted.

Yes why would the President who bombed Iran in his first term and also earlier in this term bomb Iran again? Must be the Sneaky Jew Country

Keep this in mind as the Easter season rears its head
