I don’t know that there’s something I can say about this that hasn’t been said. But it’s very sad and disappointing.

HOW HAVE JEWS BEEN THE ONES CALLED BLOOD DRINKERS WHEN APPARENTLY CATHOLICISM LITERALLY IS LIKE “WE CANNIBALIZE HIS FLESH AND DRINK HIS BLOOD”

Great, so he’s in favor of banning something that doesn’t happen just so he can appeal to transphobic Texans while throwing trans people under the bus. (Again, over something that doesn’t happen!) Dude wtf

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

TIL about Cagots, a French/Iberian caste of "undesirables." They weren't physically or genetically distinguishable from their neighbors. The French, Basques, etc literally invented a people to be mad at. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagot

My grandmother: *utters a long diatribe in Yiddish* My friend: "what did she say?" Me: "she said that life is a whimsical dance of ups and downs and the only rule is the music stops" My grandmother: *in Yiddish clearly indicating that not what she said* Me: *nodding sagely* "She's so wise"

Vietnamese has a pronoun Người, which is used exclusively for God, Jesus, Ho Chi Minh, and Vladimir Lenin.

but there's also the need to do more than kick the can down the road--to arrive at a new settlement that redefines the court's power relative to the other branches here i think briley's "jury of circuit court judges" proposal is pretty good www.liberalcurrents.com/break-up-the...

Break Up the Supreme Court
The federal court suffers simultaneously from lawless leadership and chronic understaffing. Let's fix both problems at once.

Netanyahu being bad is a load-bearing tenet of liberal Zionist ideology, since it lets you square the circle of the obvious tensions between Zionism and liberalism by offloading it all onto one guy who you can blame for ruining the project. But that requires you to actually, you know, criticize him.

Absolutely ridiculous. Apparently, opposing a war criminal makes you antisemetic
