Depressing, but I see the political calculus in it all. Like Trump voters on welfare approving of welfare cuts (because they think it will impact other people only)

Let’s talk about AI art.

My God, what is Labour even doing with this?

Are they somehow wildly popular with these stances? Are they going to lose in the next election?

really banking on this supermoon to solve all of life’s current problems

The best thing about that last one is that we call it Torah Joy

By the time Sukkot rolls around the goys think we’re just fucking with them

I found this framing interesting: Post traumatic growth

Here’s the methodologies (there are two different surveys being done by two organizations that were close enough to be analyzed together; results were similar)

We should absolutely defend the Constitution from further collapse, but we shouldn't pretend we are still at a turning point--we are beyond a constitutional crisis, we are in a constitutional collapse.

Not sure about methodology, sampling, which is why I want to read the report.

Take aways from Times of Israel:

New Jewish Federation/ADL report on antisemitism in the US.

I have not read the report, but I had to dig for the link, so here it is for those interested: cdn.fedweb.org/fed-1/1/FINA...

Honestly, he’d have better success transmuting lead into gold!

“His last plan to gain an audience was to resettle all the Jews into Cherokee territory to form an agricultural paradise.”

I’m just so confused how anybody would think this would be a good idea

The genealogical source I found about this sums him up thusly: “For all his daring and adventure, though, Cuming was a bit of a crackpot and spent most of the rest of his life in hospital confinement or jail….”

The stuff I find doing geneaology is wild. There’s this dude, Sir Alexander Cuming, who is notable for proposing to pay off the national debt in 1730 by proposing to resettle three million Jewish families into Cherokee territory to cultivate the land

When that didn’t work, he turned to alchemy 🤷‍♀️

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!”

“Let me introduce you to our frog.”

It’s probably too much to expect a loosely organized group of religious zealots to en masse abandon their ideals for pragmatism on a dime, but hey, that’s me just being too fucking negative

Another article I read suggests that the different groups that make up the Hamas ecosystem are in disagreement about the deal and that these groups have details about where the hostages are

But the heads know enough to word their “no” diplomatically so that Trump, not the sharpest, sees it as a yes

Shot, chaser.

I guess Trump isn’t getting that Nobel Prize after all

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

You should have seen how r/boston jumped to his defense. Clearly, it’s not antisemitic. He’s just neurodivergent

They have an excuse every time

Found in Somerville

You've heard of cocaine bear and cocaine shark, let me introduce you to the most destructive monster yet, COCAINE GOVERNMENT!

A fig leaf cover of impotence is very Sukkot-themed though.

PESE is the immediate feeling you get after the walk, am I guessing right?

For myself, I need a different word for the immediate symptoms of how I feel after a long walk versus the delayed feeling of being hit by a truck (PEM). Different things seem to be happening. That’s why I’m so curious

I am just so fucking proud of her.

💔💔💔

I got mine today!

This is my city! I’m pretty sure his opponent is going to win. I wish articles like these weren’t pay walled. We also have a BDS ballot initiative going on too
