mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Definitely wouldn’t want to be the guy next in line for Ayatollah. That guy’s gotta be on the phone with David Ellison seeing what he can get for Iran from Paramount 010
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Or smart enough to know that they didn’t need them 020
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 28/02/2026I agree. We can agree that Trump Is a sociopathic monster but also that Khamenei had to go 100
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 28/02/2026I mean I think plenty of people would welcome that. I’m saying we can agree Trump is a sociopathic monster but Khamanei was too and he had to go 000
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Of course but there would be many here who would be cheering that our 10-year, oppressive regime has finally ended, no? 130
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 28/02/2026So you’re saying you’d welcome say Cuba or Venezuela to bomb Mar a Lago and take our entire leadership out to free us from the 10 years of oppression? 330
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026What’s the news that there’s another Nazi spouting antisemitic bullshit on Twitter? 100
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026my wife is leaving for the Middle East tomorrow I am paying pretty close attention 100
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026You don’t think it’s true democrats and republicans in congress have consistently voted for and supported wars in the Middle East? 100
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Ok fine Rax! But do we like Annie Hall or not?? 000
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Strong agree with this. Like excuse me who are YOU calling goyim? 010
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026today’s thing is actually an interesting one for this here website. Taken by itself his statement that Republicans and Democrats in Congress love to vote to send other peoples children to die in wars in the Middle East is a good observation that would normally garner support in these parts and yet 510
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026There is a girl in New York City who calls herself the human trampoline/ And sometimes when I'm falling, flying or tumbling in turmoil I say "Whoa, so this is what she means" 000
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Now that 90’s rock gets played constantly on Classic Rock radio stations. What do you think is the most “classic” rock sounding song from the 90’s? Not your favorite or “best” song. My vote would be Pearl Jam “Black” with STP “Interstate Love Song” a close second 000
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I don’t think that this is an anti-semitism thing at all. I just think there is little evidence provided in the article that their Judaism was a commonality that truly bonded these people. I’m not saying it can’t be true, I would have liked to see more supporting evidence 000
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I’d love to see just one example of where Wexner or Dershowitz or Chomsky, regard themselves as perpetual outsiders from the real elite and underdogs 020
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Of course not but this was a sociopath of the highest order. He’d say or do anything to achieve his goals whatever the hell they were. What’s $50k to Yivo to him, it’s just a favor that he can call in later. Of course he refers to his Jewishness with his Jewish marks. 120
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026we don’t even have any evidence he ever visited Israel. He had close ties with Saudi Arabia, Britain, France. His Jewishness had zero to do with his relationship with Barak. And Mossad has millions of relationships with Jews, non-Jews, Arabs, Muslims, etc 1100
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026When you’re a rich, influential figure whose entire shtick was courting powerful people you’re gonna bump into some Jews 000
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Do we see any indication in any interview or article about Epstein that he had any relationship to his Jewish identity? Did he have a bar mitzvah? Did he practice Judaism at all? Did he ever travel to Israel? 200
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Yes but you provide no evidence for this passage. Jokingly saying “Jew doctor” is not exactly evocative of kitschy American Jewery used by Jewish men from the 1950’s 1240
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Do you think that has anything to do with his Judaism or his Jewish identity? No- it was for power and $$ and access and leverage. He has relationships with intelligence agencies for many different countries and heads of state from everywhere 2401
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Thank you! This piece was so weird to me. Epstein showed no evidence of having any connection to his Judaism or to Jewish causes. Saying “Jew lawyer” in an email is not exactly proof of kitschy chat between two old Jewish friends 1451
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I get the premise but think it misses a bit. Wexner, Dershowitz, Leon Black, care deeply about Judaism and their Jewish identity. There is no evidence that Epstein had any meaningful Jewish experience or relationship to Judaism. he was very good at finding commonality people to get what he wanted. 150
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I legit thought for a second you were actually going to be on Bill Maher… 020

mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 23/02/2026All those important people you mentioned are on here too so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. No text-based site is the commons. You think Twitter is because you’ve been on there a long time and have a following. YouTube and TikTok are “the commons” whatever the fuk that means 040
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Calling it the “commons” is deranged. No text site is the commons. These sites are dwarfed by YT, TT, WhatsApp and even FB still in daily users. Twitter has as many daily users as Pinterest! Calling it the commons is some Stockholm syndrome shit 3160
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Also the idea that X is the “commons” is a joke when it barely has as many daily users as Pinterest and Threads (Threads!!) YouTube, TikTok, WhatsApp, and even Facebook for Christ sake dwarf X is every metric 0130
mattlacks.bsky.social @mattlacks.bsky.social · 23/02/2026David, I like and respect your journalism a lot but what exactly is “the fight”? Is it the fight for journalist to promote & monetize their work? Than yes X is the place for you. But maybe Bluesky doesn’t want or need to be that place. They serve different purposes to people. 2120
