Criticism of AIPAC isn't necessarily (and often just isn't) antisemitic. But conspiracy (like the idea that AIPAC is responsible for sexual assault allegations against Platner) isn't criticism. By me for @forward.com forward.com/opinion/8368...

Decoding the Minions
The co-director of the upcoming Minions movie talks about how he developed the Minions' language. He also answers a question that has been haunting our producer: Are the Minions Latino?

Hot take: you have doomscrolled enough for today, and will feel better about doing something else, like getting ready for bed. Also, Max loves you.
Max is wearing a blue raincoat with yellow ducks, a red leash, and a very concerned look while standing next to a red seat on a streetcar.

I'm sure people will wrongly use this to insult Mamdani's wife. What it should do instead is open a larger conversation about how little we value art in our society, and how many talented artists can only create if they have family support, and how much valuable art we are not getting as a result.

I've seen probably dozens of stories like "why are Iran's Lego propaganda videos so successful?" and a really really obvious part of the answer is because they're getting free global publicity from international media who are just tickled by the Lego angle. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Slopaganda" is too weak a term to capture how powerful this "highly sophisticated" content is, one expert says.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

Just because I think people forget and need to hear it: all social media, including Bsky, is subject to propaganda. it has never, in the history of the world, been easier to produce and spread propaganda. if it hasn’t been verified maybe don’t share it and help propagandists?

War crimes are war crimes no matter who carries them out, no matter the reason. Human rights are for all humans, even the ones you hate. Anything else - especially from people sitting in a place of relative privilege and safety - is dehumanization and part of the problem.

In the name of all that's holy, please try to find a space within yourselves to hold more than one truth at once. If it is bad to indiscriminately bomb the people of one country, it is bad to indiscriminately bomb the people of any country. You DON'T HAVE TO SUPPORT ANY SIDE to know that.

I feel so deeply sick and disgusted seeing how many people on the left are celebrating Carlson's interview with Huckabee. The "enemy of my enemy is my friend" stuff is such a dark poison in our society, and it can easily destroy the solidarity we will need to have to get where we have to go.

The bigotry from those who are convinced all Muslims are responsible for this. The disinformation on all sides that this would not have happened without Israel, when ISIS's psychopathy targets Jews regardless. The justifications or support from parts of the left. Truly darkness everywhere.

A lot of people seem incapable of processing any tragedy that happens to Diaspora Jews without making it about Israel-Palestine. And that goes for both the ones saying, "This is where 'Globalize the Intifada' slogans inevitably lead!" AND the ones saying, "But Chabad is a pro-Israel organization!"

Text: We knew there was an inevitability to this, a historical context for this, but our warnings of such fell on deaf ears. For two years, we’ve often been dismissed, mocked and gaslighted for alleging precisely this would happen. I invite everyone to sit in that discomfort.

The horrors of Gaza are not undermined by acknowledging our humanity and right to life. The unconscionable death toll there is not diminished by expressing empathy for our dead and mourning here. It’s actually absurdly easy to hold space for everyone, everywhere, all at once.

Every year for Hanukkah I like to share panels from this special holiday comic I edited when I was on staff at Marvel. There remains a dearth of specifically Hanukkah stories in comics and this one only ever appeared in print once. Every year I am proud to share and celebrate the light of Hanukkah:
Comic panel from MARVEL COMICS DIGITAL HOLIDAY SPECIAL: ROCK OF AGES! by Stan Lee and Nick Dragotta featuring The Thing, Mister Fantastic, and the Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four surrounded by holiday gifts; a menorah is on the fireplace:

"We wanted to write a 'Happy Holiday' message on your gift cards, but--"
"We're not sure how to spell your holiday!"Comic panel from MARVEL COMICS DIGITAL HOLIDAY SPECIAL: ROCK OF AGES! with Sue and Reed Richards, and the Human Torch, Johnny Storm, discussing the spelling of Hanukkah:

"I said it’s H-A-N-U-K-A-H!"

"I figured it was C-H-A-N-U-K-A-H!"

"And I thought it has two 'K's!"Panel from MARVEL COMICS DIGITAL HOLIDAY SPECIAL: ROCK OF AGES! featuring The Thing, Ben Grimm:

"Hey, no big deal! Each of you is right! We spell it all those ways!"
