It was threatening us with a mountain, I think. It triggered the, “girl who could easily kill me,” preference.

The episode of Arthur where the Brain reads The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. That version of Mr. Hyde is forever seared into my memory.

There’s a reason the debate in the mishna over the appropriate size of an etrog ranges from, “can fit two in one hand,“ to, “can fit one in two hands.”

It’s adorable that the man who bulldozed half the White House thinks he has the power to renovate anything permanently.

If we’re talking specifically antisemitic haters, MTG did have the space laser idea. That was fairly original. Unfortunately, the rest of her bigotry is the plain, boring flavor. More of a flash in the pan than a true, unique hater.

Unfortunately, we ran out of quality haters 50 years ago. The Renaissance was the most recent golden age of haters.

Hence why I referred to it as a smear. They were trying to paint Loud Penitent as a Zionist-as-slur using your post.

M.O.D.O.X. @modox613.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Indeed, but the point they were trying to make is that doing so makes you Zionist, which to those types means ontologically evil, and therefore not someone whose opinion is worthwhile, instead of wanting Israel to continue to exist.

Weird how they try to smear you using someone else’s post and hope people won’t notice there’s a different name on the post.

Also, a lot of nations that think they’re religion-free have religious practices embedded in their culture without realizing it. Better to acknowledge religious influences and promote cultural acceptance than to specifically try to avoid religion.

Counterpoint: the USSR was specifically atheist and became totalitarian and oppressive pretty quickly, and modern France’s “laïcité” is regularly used as a cudgel to attack Jews and Muslims minding their own business. Obviously theocracies are unacceptable. But it’s a broader issue than religion.

I think Republicans are doing fine and should relax going into the elections. Complacence is fine and will have no negative outcomes for them. Take a load off. Stop campaigning. In fact, I bet if you drop out of the race you’ll still win.

Given that Sean Padraig McCarthy is one of those horseshoe Nazis who initially supported Mamdani because he thought Mamdani was as antisemitic as he is, it’s nice to see him livid at Mamdani for being normal.

It’s still doing this. The whole point of including the text is to give a preview of what the post is, not what a Nazi wrote in the replies. I know that Musk won’t ban Nazis, but Google needs to fix their overview so it only shows the actual tweet.

Fun fact: under ancient Jewish law, false witnesses (specifically ones who were proven to have not been at the scene of the crime when it was committed) were sentenced to whatever they tried to do to the defendant.

From my understanding of halacha, a Jew can’t set that up, but if someone non-Jewish creates it a Jew can use it.

He strikes me more as a devout Christian who hasn’t interrogated what blind spots that may entail. Whether he’s the type to double down or learn and grow remains to be seen, but he‘s still probably the best senatorial candidate you can get out of Texas.

Are you watching the show out of order, or have you gotten a lot farther into that show than I thought based on the initial ATLA post?

The action in question was two Jews joking to each other about Jewish folklore. If that action affects you, you’re the problem. Jews aren’t your overbearing childhood church, and your refusal to recognize that is you being abusive, not abused.

I do enjoy how other autocratic leaders have to suffer Trump’s ramblings. They got the election results they wanted. This is what it comes with.
