All the worst people are quote-skeeting this. Of course when *they* disparage the Democratic candidate, they don't think it counts as spoiling.

The best part is this is almost certainly a result of a typo made by an Anglophone. The Polish surname this originally was was most likely Gajdukiewicz, or even Hajdukiewicz

His fans just make it worse. Misguided, historically illiterate left wingers who view him as a principled anti monarchist Republican on one side, weird twenty somethings who openly call themselves whigs and who think Wales isn't real on the other.

It's a shame that Oliver Cromwell had to be so central to an intensely interesting period in time because he is, at a basic human level, such a massive prick.

Don't let anyone ever tell you you're too 'x', not enough 'y', or whatever. Just because all of those issues aren't 'popular' or are even the economic platform of any single party in the UK*, doesn't make them any less valid.

I understand the moral comfort in thinking "my political fave just destroyed the fascists, we should do that again"-- it's very soothing and simple. But it's not born out by evidence, anywhere. The dream of purges are just that, dreams.

This is the oldest sample of Hebrew text with European musical notation. It's an autograph manuscript of Obadiah the Proselyte, a Norman-Italian priest who converted to Judaism in 1102. He traveled to Egypt and Syria, using his knowledge of Gregorian Chant to record Hebrew poetry. @theul.bsky.social

Torn brown paper manuscript with about 20 red-ruled lines with sporadic musical notes and Hebrew text. The background is a blue and a yellow label reads T-S K5.41 (https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-TS-K-00005-00041/2).

my added little bit or hot take is that I think this kind of (dumb, wrong) demand for weird boycotts has skyrocketed in the digital age, and especially w/ pop therapy, no contact, etc. Social media loves to demand total schisms, complete cutting off of family and community, it’s like a fav tactic.

The Holocaust being defined as the sin of Europe par excellence means Jewish nationalism cannot be a “normal” (albeit dangerous) European nationalism like all others; it is seen by one side as justice, which in turn requires the other side to defeat it to end that guilt. This is bad for everyone.

I believe historic Palestine is the homeland of both the Jewish and the Palestinian peoples, being as they are the heirs of the same South Levantine civilisations that flourished in that land before the Romans.

the other thing is that a lot of gentiles, from what i can tell, simply do not understand that asking a jewish person, even an anti-zionist, to never interact with members of the community who are in fact zionists, is really fundamentally antithetical to the nature of jewish communal life
