If you want to know why Jews are suspicious of you when you're just trying to be a well-meaning antizionist gentile, consider that these two things were written by the same man, Guangtian Ha, a (currently suspended) religion professor at Haverford
a passage from an article by guangtian ha that reads:

We make this call amidst growing concern about antisemitism on our campus. Questions have arisen in the context of a number of specific situations, including external influences from Lower Merion, from donors, and from some alumni who are hell-bent on defining the " ways to be Jewish. This, of course, flies in the face of thousands of years of Jewish tradition which is fundamentally based on interrogation, questioning, and truth-seeking. We take these attacks on our anti-Zionist Jewish community members seriously and we understand the real damage the state of Israel causes for the entire Jewish world when it claims to be acting on behalf of all Jews while engaging in horrific atrocities that - truth be told- mirror some of the worst stereotypes of Jews that have been a part of European racism for centuries. We will be clear: antisemitism should be unacceptable at Haverford, but the energy and consideration which some in our administration have granted these bad faith actors suggests otherwise.a passage from a court document about guangtian ha that reads:

In or about January 2026, through in or about February 2026, defendant GUANGTIAN HA, using X account "America IstLM" posted a series of threatening and harassing messages directed at Victim 1, including the following:
a. "Jew, get the fuck out of my country" 
b. "Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion"
c. "If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special  camps and receive special treatments" 
d. "LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons."

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

It's moxtober, I guess. Day 1 - Witches
A custom mtg card. A black uncommon enchantment costing 2B, with the following rules text:
Whenever a creature you control dies, choose one. If the creature was named Festering Newt, choose any number instead —
• Each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life. 
• Surveil 1.
• Target creature gains deathtouch until end of turn.

The image, lifted from ArtStation and credited to Morten Krebs, shows a body disintigrating in glowy purple triangles over an altar in the middle of a swamp. A dude in the foreground is being pulled into its gravity.

Significant numbers of leftists think Mayor Mamdani has betrayed the left by putting out an anti-antisemitism plan at all, and groups that claim to fight antisemitism like the ADL are giving Mamdani zero credit because he has not suddenly endorsed Zionism, and I am caught between and I am tired.

The easiest way to understand Scott Summers is to realize that he spent his formative years in an orphanage in which half the people he interacted with were just disguised Mr. Sinister. The easiest way to understand Mr. Sinister is to realize he took over a whole orphanage just to mess with Scott.

Grayscale image, originally from XKCD, showing a complicated structure of rectangular blocks all stacked on top of each other, with a single thin rectangle hidden in the corner holding the whole thing together. The structure is labeled "All American Jewish culture," and the thin rectangle is labeled with an image of Sunkist Fruit Gems.

True. Used to be you had to really work to run up huge IP liabilities. Now? This 30-second video probably infringes at least two trademarks, between two and six copyrights, and - somewhat remarkably given that there are only three speaking roles - six people's NIL rights. Truly incredible progress.
