my hot take is we actually need more BDSM enthusiasts in office

Yeah, anyone could say they aren't "forcing" someone to do something. The U.S. officials are no exception. That doesn't make it true.

In such a dense area, this doesn't mean a whole lot. My neighborhood's map probably looks like this.

It's not just failing 1/50 students. There's a very high chance it'll disproportionately impact some groups more than others. No school wants to have "(insert school here) falsely accuses a large number of (insert marginalized community here) students of cheating without evidence" in the news.

I dunno. All I wanted to do was explain why it's unfair to invoke Zionism in an antisemitic ad. I was pretty tame with my first reply. Then you got defensive. If you think I'm just looking for a fight, you can block me. I really don't mind.

I'm well aware of the machinations of AIPAC. You have said absolute zilch to explain why antisemitism is justified. The "Jews with horns" trope isn't an antizionist one, it's an antisemitic one that has existed for centuries, long before the nation of Israel. So no. They are not the same.

Scott @scottroiter.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
You cannot justify an antisemitic trope with "but we don't know if he takes AIPAC money". Those are two different things. It's indefensible, full stop.

"The strong bias in the US is anti Muslim, not anti Jewish." "Jewish" and "Muslim" are not opposites, and bigotry is not a zero-sum circumstance. Many people who hate Muslims will also hate Jews, and likely for similar reasons. It's also not a competition.

This literally has nothing to do with Israel though. We shouldn't have to keep proving we're on the right side of history to explain why we don't deserve antisemitic attacks.

Not horns, but a college friend said she knew I was Jewish because I "have that nose". I mean, she's not wrong.

We had a spelling test in 3rd grade in December, and Hanukkah was one of the words. According to the (not Jewish) teacher, I got it wrong. 😭

Yeah, I didn't even think about the budgetary aspect. If they were to do *anything*, they'd replace a newbie with one of them. But it doesn't seem that they'll do that either (I hope not, at least).

I just don't see a situation where they'd have survivor legends agreeing to play BB, only for one of them to be guaranteed going home. Seems like a really weird idea.

My interpretation of "some" implies that there are more than the 3 "confirmed" people and those 3 are gonna stay, the others are only there for the premiere

Oh, that's true. I guess there was enough of an impact just based on the requirements to get the rewards 😅

Seems like this group is younger than the average cast. Would love for some older folks to join the mix.

yeah, it's definitely because it's an NBC poll and not because he's an awful president or anything

Yeah that's true. And you can definitely hear their influence in some of the more upbeat tracks, like "u + me = <3".

She really ate with having a song called "the cure" almost immediately preceding a song featuring Robert Smith. Such good taste.

I think we can have space for both of those things: he's a huge baby, and it's normal to put up the tarp. Most of us don't know as much as these people who do labor work for a living. I trust them more than anyone else in this regard. And besides, we don't need additional evidence that he's a wimp.

He has been doing this for years, every single time he or his endorsed candidate loses. He's not trying to coordinate another January 6th, he's just stupid and venting. I think people are giving him way more credit than is deserved.

There are lots of songs like that from Dance Maniax. Felt like they should be mainstreamed in DDR after the series ended, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

You'd think it would be obvious, especially when it comes to the likes of MTG and Tucker Carlson. And yet...
