Do you think that justifies the attack on the synagogue in Michigan?
But that doesn't make ramming a car into a synagogue ok.
It doesn't make ramming a car into any building ok.
You follow me.
You should be well aware that I think what the US and Israel do in Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank is horrific.
A synagogue with programs supporting Israel in 2026 is a valid target for protest.
It is not a valid target for assault.
It has a fucking preschool for fuck's sake. What the fucking fuck.
Fuck
FUCK
For a hard puzzle, I'll take it.

I think I've been here long enough to say "fucking Harper!"
(I remember noting him as one of many Netanyahu clones who popped up like mushrooms after acid rain)
That was my second guess, and now I am sad to have been correct
I'm sure they're underfunded, in the way of postal services in all capitalist countries, and that may just be the entire answer.
If you know. Specifically KNOW, not have a guess, like my "the country is so big" thing, please tell me.
I support Canada Post, as I do all postal services.
With that out of the way... why does mail take so long here in Canada? Is it because the country is so big?
This was an awesome exchange.
I was born before 1979, but this does not look like a surprise I want.
Alawieh, a candidate for Michigan State Senate in District 2 and a former leader of Uncommitted, with a statement on the attack on West Bloomfield Temple Israel
Isn't the original horrific enough?
I think it's two trailers, but it's definitely not one.
And wow, your notion of the plot is probably better than what it will be, but I'm still here for it.
This really is the thing
Argh. Ugh. Furious on your behalf!
Today, not even my air purifier could save me from an onslaught of allergy. I guess spring really IS here, despite how cold it is outside.
The antihistamine I took is helping somewhat.
I am not asking for advice, here. Repeat: NOT ASKING FOR ADVICE
SCREAMING at Holly Rowe leaving the sourcing in her tweet and revealing it came from the league. Holly’s never been a journalist but this is fully amateur hour from a long-time member of the media.
Seems to me that if you're upset that there's not more of a student movement fighting fascism in 2026, the first place to direct your anger is the people who crushed the wave of student organizing that crested in the months immediately preceding the fascists' rise to power.
Abdul Mateen, specifically, is only held back by age and resume. He has the potential to be up there, but it takes a longer career.
Regina King has a case!
"Normal" is the weapon of the enemy.
We do not need it.
We will not use it.
I would like to have a device that would zap the word "normal" out of the brain of every damn politics explainer in this goddamn country
We should sue the league for emotional damage
I keep wondering... don't they know this is the shit bad guys in bad movies say behind closed doors?
This is the premise for a dystopia.
This is cartoon villain shit.
This is torment nexus.
Also? Electricity and water should be free.
All of your picks are standouts on nerd stuff, but not on the level of the ones on my list. They do, however, remind me of two other contenders: Shohreh Aghdashloo and Jared Harris.

"FOR I CAN SEE THE BALANCE AND YOU HAVE LEFT THE WORLD MUCH BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT, AND IF YOU ASK ME, said Death, NOBODY COULD DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT…"
Is this from the cursed school of thought that gave us "MeToo went too far"?
When you quote skeet an idiocy to dunk on it, as more than 100 people have done with that editorial board guy, YOU ARE AMPLIFYING THE MESSAGE.
The science is in on this shit. YOU ARE HELPING HIM.
