this is specifically what Twitter was re-engineered to do, btw. it exists almost solely to threaten anyone at the flashpoint of a nascent social movement.

If you want to know why so many kids are refusing to give positive answers to questions about queer identity, consider that in half the states their teachers are terrified of the mob that will come for them if they say supportive things about LGBTQ students: www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/09/teac...

Teachers in red states are terrified to stand up for LGBTQ+ students - LGBTQ Nation
Teachers in red states that witness anti-LGBTQ+ bullying say they risk disciplinary action & community backlash for intervening.

It's funny that one loud camp is (predictably) saying that Mamdani’s antisemitism plan is not Zionist enough, while another is claiming it's (somehow) too Zionist. What both overlook, because neither really care, is the project of fighting antisemitism in NYC on its own terms

Both camps succumb to negative polarization & hyper-online brain rot. Of course, the issue of antisemitism is overdetermined today by Israel/Palestine. But at root this is a municipal hate crimes prevention strategy. Nobody benefits by obsessively reading it through the I/P prism

Jerry proved he knows ball(s) today by breaking the seal on what will surely be a strong flow of future Concise Content Contest awards with his 1st win thanks to some inspired meme'ing 🏆 bsky.app/profile/jda5...
a screenshot of Jerry's meme of Eric Schmitt smirking dumbly while Senator Kennedy & an aide hold up his visual aid for his amazingly wrong accusation about Jack Smith being at a ATL Hawks game when he actually went to an Iowa Hawkeyes WBB game. The visual aide has been expertly edited to show a diagram of the "pee is stored in the balls" meme

YOU hate Nader for throwing the 2000 election. I hate Nader for ushering in the era of Consumer as a primary political identity, touting the tort system as an alternative to normal democratic deliberation, and making things generally work worse in the USA.

Okay, seriously, what the fuck is this?
The top of the Google results when I went looking to see just what Mamdani's tweet that mentioned the Talmud actually said (a search for "mamdani talmud"). This top search reasult appears to link to Mamdani's Twitter account ("NYCMayor" on "X"), then has a truncated header ("Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani on ...") and then it has a vile lying antisemitic screed that ABSOLUTELY DID NOT COME FROM MAMDANI and I can only assume is some typical-for-Elon's-Nazi-website antisemitism someone wrote *about* Mamadani's post, but it's presented in the Google search results as if it's from Mamdani.

(text of the screed below, if you want to read it)
The Talmud teaches that the best of Gentiles should be killed, Jesus is boiling in excrement, and that non-Jewish souls are inferior and impure.

Mamdani's post, linked from that vile preview, in full (but a screenshot, so it doesn't include the video). Text below:

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.

Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

The thing about the florid apocalypticism you sometimes encounter on this site is that a lot of people are less horrified by literal civilizational collapse than by the notion that our descendents are just going to keep muddling through and in less than a century nobody will remember us.

They’ll say they just want a Christian country but turn around & deport Haitians & Mexican. Then they just want a country of English speakers, or job creators, but the b they are after South Asians. The longer you delay just identifying them as racists the greater their advantage

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Many years ago, I volunteered to teach a financial literacy class at a homeless shelter, and the program, which I did not develop, had so little useful info for that population! And it's not like I learned anything that would be helpful for people in poverty earning my accounting degree.

It's ironic because the Trump admin completely vindicated gender studies as a field. Like we're all living through some sort of unethical gender studies experiment.
