Noga is in the query trenches!!

Black and white photo of a white man dressed as a World War Two French partisan with a beret, a leather jacket, and a neckerchief. He bears some resemblance to the man in my profile picture.

Doing research for future projects and hang on... is that... my boy? Harry Rée cameo??

Apparently it's because he was a James Baldwin fan lmao. Yes, Paul, I'm sure that's the lesson you should take away from Baldwin

Normie protests are good. Mobilize the normies. Radicalize the normies

Memes don't really help, but neither does pretending everything is fine. There's a real answer, but it's unwise to discuss on social media.

Question from MyChart asking: "Have you been exposed to or been notified of exposure to a person with known or suspected measles?" I answered "no."

Can't believe this is a question my doctor's office has to ask separately from contact with someone who's sick. #ThanksTrump

89 years ago today Mosley attempted to march his blackshirts through the East End of London. The Jewish press counselled calm. East End Jews - backed primarily by Irish & Communists - beat them back with fists, pipes, clubs. Old women poured hot water on them from above.

Two.

Two.

They mounted a helicopter assault and destroyed an entire apartment building and zip tied all of its residents to arrest two guys for maybe being in a gang.

A reminder of something very much worth donating to, if you can.

Look, the waiter is there to serve me, not vice versa. I'll start this tasting menu in the middle, chef's artistic vision be damned!!!!!

"This lesbian bar doesn't have a fire exit! Enjoy your death trap ladies!"
"What's her problem?"

(I am not exempt from "if you're white." If I start talking about evil white people who don't season their food in a book exclusively about white people, feel free to beat me with a comically large hammer.)

Petty gripe but: if you're white and your book has no characters of color, you shouldn't be writing white people jokes. It's cringe virtue signaling at best.

Great news!

Through gritted teeth I am forced to hand it to Jude Doyle, who wrote a very good analysis of the ghosts haunting music criticism's past and present. Also apparently we both like EMA.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

The bees have discovered Brutalism

Martin Niemöller Was an Antisemite His poem was not about indifference.

just worth reiterating that historically "we need to throw these people under the bus for pragmatic reasons" is often indistinguishable from, "I, personally, do not like these people and want to throw them under the bus." www.everythingishorrible.net/p/martin-nie...

David Adler: What it means to be Jewish on the Global Sumud Flotilla

✊

From the Gaza Flotilla: “I’m Here Because My Jewish Heritage Demands It” I hope that fellow Jews will join me in redefining their approach to atonement—together with silent prayer, and toward courageous action to put an end to this horrific genocide.

From the #gazaflotilla, David Adler writes that “It is a blessing that we are approaching interception at the onset of Yom Kippur—our annual day of atonement—which calls us to reflect on our sins, and what can be done to repair them in the spirit of tikkun olam.”

Shana tova u'metuka! May everyone's 5786 be relatively peaceful, and may it bring you everything you hope for 🍎🍯🐟

It’s official: the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide.

The UN body calls on nations to stop sending weapons to Israel, ensure people within their jurisdiction aren’t aiding or inciting the genocide, and hold those who are accountable.

Suffice it to say, we're so back
