The fact that this idiocy got past an editor in a book on godamn punctuation shows how deep the ignorance of Judaism and Jewish history is in the wider culture and how that ignorance is being weaponized so as to create a better scapegoat for Western uses

Straight-up hack job. I had to write out the basic idea of what I wanted to draw before I could draw it. I think this was under 10 minutes.

He could have made his case for the necessary evils of modern civilization. He chose, instead, Rick Moranis's line from Spaceballs, "Now you know that evil will always win, because good is dumb." A cartoonishly evil German man with eugenic fantasies? I swear I've heard that pitch before.

the turnover in this job due to chronic mental health problems is a labor safety problem. and then there are the people who tell you how important it is to "bear witness" as though the dying would like to be remembered as a body bleeding out in the ground. as though it is not voyeurism.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

It is deeply annoying to have to go “antisemitism is real, but most of the big names and orgs who talk about it are terrible” to people on every side of every political aisle. Sometimes with different emphasis, I grant you.

I'm hungrier if I don't have food with me than I am if I do have the food with me. That doesn't mean I will actually eat the food - I'm fully capable of spending my whole workday at my desk without eating a bite, if I have sandwich-makings in my bag. I just forget, once I get into a flow state.

I think maybe 5-6 people throughout recorded history have survived via massive medical intervention and IIRC they still sustained permanent neurological injury. Ballpark 10⁷ cases in 4K yrs, vs orders of magnitude 1-10 survivors. If you get rabies you will not be the lucky one who beats the odds.

This is true, dehumanizing our adversaries or the people we despise never leads us anywhere good. The reason I think it's tragic when young people die in war isn't that a given individual was just a kid who didn't know better, but because in general, young people (mostly men) are dying

They're targeting Jewish communities who demonstrate support of Israel's genocide. There may be a few dozen people in the US who think it's all Jews, but most people who are educated enough to care about politics hate Israel, it's because of the genocide. No genocide = No reason to hate Jews.

@thou-dog.bsky.social
People who are Jew-bashing are not consistently nor reliably discriminating between overtly Zionist and non-overtly Zionist or overtly non-Zionist communities. They see Jews, they threaten or attack. They see shuls and community centers, they vandalize or attack.

@trismegistusmx.bsky.social
If anti-Zionist Jews are being attacked, then the attackers are Zionist operatives.

I have a private moderation list of people whose behavior on this site isn't necessarily antisemitic but is too insane and/or fedposting for me to ever want to interact with them. As I recall, it's mostly queerphobes with more than a spoonful of furries, trans people, and trans furries.

I forgot the word "Cheez-its" so I said "The yellow square things, they're tasty and fleas-chavered." "Fleas-chavered" is the most spoony of Spoonerisms I can recall speaking anytime in the past few years. Goddamn. (The intended phrase, if you can't tell, was "cheese-flavored".)

from this:

Haliax1d

4th year med student reporting in.
Had a rotation with a pediatrician where we ended up in the classic encounter with an anti-vaccination parent.

This lady was a conspiracy theory magnet. She casually mentioned everything from 9/11 to chemtrails. Of course she loved the idea of the vaccine conspiracy as well, opting to not protect her one year old to stick it to big pharma.
I relayed all of this to my attending after my exam (I would see the patient first, gather history and do my exam to present to my attending physician). He got this sort of lazy smirk on his face that screamed "watch this".

We go back into the exam room and we cover all of the important bits of a well-child encounter. Growth charts, behavioral milestones, nutrition, sleep...
And then we get to vaccines. She lists approximately 15 reasons why vaccines are more dangerous than the disease they protect against (lol) in addition to the various evils of the pharmaceutical industry.

My attending listens quietly until she's done with her soapbox (about one eternity later), and then interjects with:
"Have you considered the possibility that anti-vaccine propaganda could be an attempt by the Russians or the Chinese to weaken the health of the United States population?"

In a moment of catastrophic cognitive dissonance, I swear I heard a strange popping noise as her brain misfired. It actually broke her. The allure of the increasingly ridiculous conspiracy theory was just too strong.

She ended up agreeing to a modified vaccine schedule. I was flabbergasted. My attending just grinned at me in response. To this day I'm not sure the medical ethics of the situation are totally palatable, but goddamn the result was amazing.

I wonder if any of the EA resistance to enforcing no-harassment norms is drawn from this incident. When I think of this along with Jeffrey Epstein's response to being told "no" by a trans girl, it really seems like a lot of today's political drama may be connected to men unwilling to accept "no".

I've been intrigued by the game "Family Time" (basically: keep your family fed and sheltered, when your number of children doubles every night, or get eaten). My take on it is mostly about whether there are optimal strategies. That said, the (extremely minimal) story background has a NC element.
