Can you explain your reasoning? I don't understand the connection.

I'm not sure what's more remarkable, the fact that the Iranian regime has killed more than half as many people in one month of protest squashing as have died in Gaza in two years of war, or the complete silence on this topic from this platform.

It's ok guys, the shooter might have been trans so we can talk about this one instead of sweeping it under the rug like all the others.

I disagree. But the fact that we can have civilized discourse here speaks to the culture Bluesky has cultivated on this app.

ChatGPT has done many destructive things to society, but perhaps the most annoying on a personal level is making me very self-conscious about my love of the em-dash.

"When you see a Jewish person walk down the street you don't know." This is a very narrow statement, completely erases the Hasidim and Haredim (and others who dress visibly Jewish) that get assaulted regularly for how they look

Are people really saying Mamdani can't be antisemitic because he has a Jewish friend? Do you hear yourselves?
010
Nathan Allen @ncallen.bsky.social · 25/06/2025
I don't know, I just feel like some of this stuff really isn't that nuanced. I like almost everything else I've heard about him it's just this one (admittedly close to home) issue that he rubs me the wrong way on.
000
Nathan Allen @ncallen.bsky.social · 25/06/2025
I hear what you're saying, but I just don't know that I buy it. The problem I have isn't that he (and people like him) hates Jews, it's that when a Jew is pro-Israel suddenly certain things are ok. They just can't see the trees for the forest if that makes sense

Plus there was that tepid response to the vandalization of the Jewish-owned bakery but that was so long ago now that I can't find the article

Nathan Allen @ncallen.bsky.social · 25/06/2025
I understand wanting to avoid talking about it, but when he does talk about it he sounds like he's at gunpoint. In response to Jews feeling uncomfortable about "globalize the intifada" his response is "Palestinians are dying" rather than make an effort to bridge that gap.
200
Nathan Allen @ncallen.bsky.social · 25/06/2025
Like with "globalize the intifada," there are real reasons why many Jews are uncomfortable with that term but he's just talking with how it's "language policing," a thing leftists do all the time for other minority groups who have issues with how we use language.

Nathan Allen @ncallen.bsky.social · 25/06/2025
I really want to like Mamdani, and I don't think he's actively antisemitic, but he doesn't seem interested in actually fighting the allegations in any meaningful way.

Crazy how often folks here get up in arms about someone getting fired "for no reason" and then you look it up and the reason is blatant antisemitism.

I don't think Vader is actually trying to kill Luke, though to be fair Kylo isn't trying to kill Rey most of the time either, so it's not really evidence that they're good fighters.

I have to believe there's something unique about Trump and that no one else will be able to gin up that level of blind fervor. Maybe it's just delusion but look at how DeSantis flopped with Trump's playbook.

Nathan Allen @ncallen.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
I always thought Luke went back to train after Empire but maybe he didn't. Either way I do generally agree that these characters have probably used the Force unconsciously for years before receiving real training, though there's a big difference between faster reflexes and lightsaber battles.

Nathan Allen @ncallen.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
I say this as a Rey fan by the way, I think it makes her character less interesting that she can just wield a lightsaber and use the Force without any prior training or even knowledge if their existence.

Nathan Allen @ncallen.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
I really don't think you can say that Luke is naturally good at being a Jedi. He sucks shit until 6 and at that point he's been training with Yoda for who knows how long. Anakin also has institutionalized training between being a kid who can't use the Force and a young adult who can.

The idea that Donald Trump could be the next Pope is ludicrous. Only baptized Catholics can become Pope, so Joe Biden is the clear choice.

This whole Polygon bs really makes it clear to me that the ONLY ethical way to consume media is by paying creators directly to create stuff, ideally if they own that stuff.
