“It degrades the very real fight against antisemitism for it to be weaponised to silence legitimate criticism of the Israeli state and Palestinian political expressions" - @sarahschwartz.bsky.social on the new definition adopted by Australian universities: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/media/jewish...

Fair enough! Thanks for the explanation!

@zhenyi.bsky.social hey! Vinegar user and lover here with a dumb question - is it possible to get the quality switcher visible in Theatre mode too on hover? I see it currently sits just under the header.

@alexb.bsky.social just saw your rating for Gladiator II on Letterboxd so anticipating your review

Image is of a chart. Media Matters reviewed print coverage in five newspapers — Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post — for stories mentioning Trump’s indictment in the week following U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s October 2 unsealing of special counsel Jack Smith’s latest filing, which reveals damning new evidence of the former president’s alleged crimes. We found the papers ran 26 combined articles mentioning Trump’s indictment in the week after the unsealing of Smith’s filing. But those same papers published 100 combined articles — nearly 4 times as many — that mentioned Clinton’s server in the week after then-FBI Director James Comey’s notorious October 28, 2016, letter on new developments in that probe, as we documented in a 2016 study.

New: Major newspapers are giving Trump’s federal criminal indictment a fraction of the coverage they gave former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server in 2016 www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

The case for Jacob Elordi as the first ever Bond Boy A 'Bond Girl" is a reductive trope where beautiful women are reduced to sexual objects for James Bond films, so clearly we need a Bond Boy to finally don the bikini and solve feminism

starting my campaign to make jacob elordi the first ever Bond Boy. You know those girls in James Bond films who are called Pussy Galore and kill me with their thighs? Let's expand that to men, it will be fun.
