A lot of people think “surely nobody wants to fuck someone they think is subhuman,” and these people need to be taught about the concept of heterosexual men.

Fair question but also doesn’t detract from it being just very reply-guy of the NYT to do this.

NYT using an official account to directly reply to people who criticize them is so embarrassingly pathetic.

Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society

McGill, Concordia drop legal battle with Quebec government over tuition hikes - Montreal | Globalnews.ca The English universities won a ruling last April after the Superior Court overturned the hike of about $3,000, finding that it was unreasonable.

If an entire-ass university is too poor to go to court, can you imagine what things are like for regular people? 🥲

This is a photo of Graham Platner with a man wearing an 88 shirt, who also seems to think that Graham Platner will "Stand against The Jews."

The half-joking joke is that they can’t say Abrahamic because they’re prejudiced.

Sure, but all the bases of Christian thought come from Judaism in some way - doesn’t mean they should call Christianity a “Judeo-Christian” movement. :P

I don’t see what they meant, lol

Because the whole thing is derived from Revelations’ timetable, which is crafted to explain away Jesus’ death by splitting the eschaton into stages. Whereas Judaism didn’t have to do that.

So while there was apocalyptic-messianic Jewish thought, to me Millenarianism is very specifically a Christian variant. Indeed, the article doesn’t even describe the Jewish version.

What’s the confusion? :3

And I’m afraid I don’t know enough Aramaic to judge Steinsaltz but I did find his English Avot useful. Schottenstein is great because it handholds you sentence by sentence and has extensive explanatory notes.

Well see that’s the mistake—none of the verses are arguments for God’s greatness. 😆

The thing speaks for itself — legal term where the results are themselves evidence of negligence.

Very excited for my second paper in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry to be published.

In this paper @floralashes.bsky.social and I dig into the dominant narratives that underlie restrictions on the use of GnRHAs in TGDI youth.
