No, they're saying she was *never* on the left, and that the mask is now off.

Hey Sherri. You don't need to purchase it, you can simply request a copy online. BUT that mechanism hasn't been set up yet because we're focusing on the fundraiser. If you can wait a couple of weeks you should be able to request a copy, or text me your address and I'll see what I can do.

I'd be a lot more concerned about this war if it weren't being run by master strategist Jared Kushner.

@lynneguist.bsky.social You might appreciate this, if you haven't already seen it.

It needs to be disassociated from Jews. Even the actions of Israel shouldn't be blamed on the Jews, but the actions of a political action committee? There's tons of antisemitism in the world, and bringing the Jews into a convo about AIPAC isn't going to help.

"The actions of a pro-Israel political action committee turned me, a normal person, into an antisemite."

All else aside, this is true.

Finally, we've got something we can impeach this guy for.

Also, incidentally, seems to prove that much of the anti-Kamala rhetoric from the "left" actually was the work of Trumpists.

Hard to believe this is real (but I'm sure it is).

True story: you can go to the search function and type in the words "pay rent" and find dozens of people facing eviction posting each hour, for whom a small collection of strangers tossing $25 in the hat can mean the difference between a warm bed and the street, and reader, it feels so good to do.

My older brother, on Neil Sedaka (R.I.P.):

"I don’t know if you remember, but my second grade teacher Miss Grossman was his sister and he used to come to school and pick her up."

(I don't remember. I was probably an infant.)

I'm not doing a premium for my show but I have great prizes to give away.

People on the street who see my camera often say, "Take my picture!" When I was shooting film, I would usually mime it because I didn't want to waste a shot. With digital, it's different. These girls on the 2 train insisted I take their picture, and I said yes. But why? They didn't ask for a copy.

Thanks. It was, though there's always the danger of getting beaten up.

E. 56 St. I was fooled into thinking this VW Bug was older and rarer than it actually is by all the rust and mold, but still, I like the picture. Guy in the house started yelling at me but I couldn't understand because I had music blasting in my earbuds.

I think this piece is fairly typical of them. I never use the term "self-hating Jew" but what I see from these people is a steady stream of crypto-antisemitic stuff in the guise of some kind of pretend self-improvement plan.

this paragraph is virtually indistinguishable from something Tucker Carlson would've said on the air a year ago (now he wouldn't add the caveat). It is so shortsighted/offensive to blame Jewish clannishness on Epstein's rise when the institutions that propped him up reached SO much wider than that.

That place was a bit over their budget, but what the hell.

...Photo taken at last night's rehearsal of WFMU's Hoof and Mouth Sinfonia. Jody has joined the band as my evil twin on bass this year. The Sinfonia's big annual concert happens at the end of this year's @wfmu.bsky.social fundraiser on March 15. Much more information to come.
