The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.
I'm locking in, crashing out, Then checking out on the prison bus This is it, the apocalypse
Huh, the more you know! Are the bishops staying?
Luckily, The Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled has no peers who are hereditary or anything
And also funny from Nate Silver who had years of people listen to him because of his credential “successfully called one election years ago”
matching just the powerball and opting to get my $4 payment in 29 annualized payments over 30 years
Think “city on a hill” or “bread and roses” also work well

Pharmaceuticals with alcohol interactions are so funny. I guess I’m taking the MORALITY DRUG that cares about my VICES
Not a single city on this list has a bodega where would the students go for two Diet Cokes, a roll of paper towels, and oh also peanut butter m&ms while they’re there, why not
FINAL COUNT IS 92,221 DOGS
Can @jonbois.bsky.social or some other sports writer figure out how and why the mlb news feed has used the word “torrid” 150 times in articles and has been wrong about its meaning every time
While people accuse Roth of being a self hating jew, that book really describes more of a self loving jew than anything
Kim Stanley Robinson moment
Cambridge/somerville/everett/etc. are only suburbs due to the screwy way Boston developed (incidentally it only has its shape from annexing other cities to dilute the Irish vote), it’s not really the same situation as say, Evanston
That area has a density (depending which exact census tract) 30-40k residents per sq mile (roughly on par with any census tract in a Chicago neighborhood 2-3 miles from the loop or like, Kreuzberg Berlin or Islington, London). All those buildings are triple deckers, it’s denser than it looks!
I hate it when you have some problem and you look online and it’s not only super solvable but is like a basic ass problem. Wdym I’m not the first person to deal with sweat getting in my eyes while biking and that the solution is a $8 headband
I think about this tweet all the time
Cambridge is closer to downtown boston than most of Boston is what do you mean by salvageable here (also, as a note they just passed a zoning plan of 6 stories by right everywhere)
One of them is a bank for gods sake
"This cafe in a Bank feels jewish oh wait i mean israeli to me"
The fed kinda gay… What are you doing at Jackson’s hole? 🤨
in what way was that the joke lmao. the joke was calling using ai to predict crime "the minority report part"
just an impressive failure of having any theory of mind. confused when another kid calls their mom "mom" type behavior
We should group universities in there too. Imagine what sort of discourse we could have, "universities are using too much academic language"
While I agree generally, a very important part of Minority Report is that the pregogs are mutant individuals and not AI
As there's more chatter of mlb realignment/expansion, allow me to re-propose the thematic divisions
While i was at columbia, every core class i took included a student saying some supersessionist bullshit “OT God is judging, NT God is forgiving” without really any pushback. It’s impossible for any right wing grifter to actually use that as they all believe it though
Let me ask you one question Is your money that good? Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could? I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you “made” Will never buy back your soul

“It is splendid when the town whore gets religion and joins the church…but when she begins to tell the minister what he ought to say in his sunday sermons, matters have been carried too far”
Bret Stephens is wrong about almost everything he says, but what he’s saying here isnt necessarily wrong insofar as seeing how the paleocons reacted to the neocons. To many paleocons, the neocon movement consisted of left wing jews corrupting conservativism
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

I love Schleiermacher and am jewish. Yes we exist
I think your point risks falling into the völkish anti-nazism ganz describes too. I dont mean to be full antideutsch but i think what the essay is getting at is there *is* some overlap. Of course there’s a ton of kitsch but some of that great Romantic art did also fuel ultranationalist ideology
It’s filmed in the Bradbury which is a real building in LA! Idk if it’d still be legal to build that today (the ziggurats are definitely not up to code)
Lagò?
Going up to an autodidact and telling them that “it’s not my job to educate you”
Getting locked up in England for carrying my enormous p- *gunshot*
It’s also just a wholesale acceptance of “rural America is true america” framing where for america to have leftism is must be from there. Never mind the very real history the jewish communists of the lower east side nor of midwest urban sewer socialism, it’s gotta emerge from the “real” America
I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.
What’s the polling on people thinking that there have always been 50 states/100 senators?
DDT is probably the most famous example for the environment. Also, a lot of late 1800s medications would probably fit the bill (although not sure how useful/historical they were).
Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis: A Fable somehow transcends this, having his politics infiltrate the movie to such extreme lengths that it finds a captivating pure truth in its hamfisted attempts to comment on anything and everything
Studying systemic error (letterbox viewers being pretentious) by comparing the reviews to a normal distribution
Lucky for him Mamdani is trying for a job that gives him a house too
A very gay close friend there was randomly assigned a suitemate who said queer people “dont have a righteous lifestyle” you can find bad reactionary takes there very easily
Also, like Columbia has a tons of young republican type organizations. It’s not hard to go there and find fratty coke-fueled parties with future white collar criminals
the kinsey institute was a twink tank
CF jarren duran? Comparing him to what?
No ghost runner
My brother moved to new york but decided he can only be a foulweather fan of the mets
Mamdani notably was not born in NYC
City that has been around one third foreign born for the last 150 years: “it’d bad to live here and not be born here. i am saying this from the left.”
got the same text from my grandfather; he's a sox fan so it was the secret third option for him
So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?
They were also saying this as trains would set fire to houses nearby the railway lmao
Liking baseball not for the action or the history but for a secret third thing [lefty representation]
Nurse? Will you bring in my big new pair of Pagliacci Penis Snippers? He's got an appointment for later today and I can't wait to strap him down and lop off that stupid clown pecker. Anyway, sir, go ahead. You were complaining about some bull shit
One thing that really moved me when i was working in the Bronx is going into a tiny library on my lunch break and realizing that even the smallest branch of the nypl would have more books than I could ever read
National treasure in Boston whenever they mentioned Boston
sucks that Mass can't join blue states in gerrymandering for more democratic reps :/
Grindr and linkedin should merge it and not tell you which one it was from
MAN: What's that, girl? Trouble at the old mine? LEFT-WING LASSIE: Woof! [The miners are striking for better pay and conditions] MAN: B-but Billy's down there! LEFT-WING LASSIE: Woof! [BILLY'S A SCAB]

Some people exercise and then go to the sauna. Not me. I bike in the billion degree 100% humidity weather. #efficiency #grindset
Even with the “collapse detailed changes” option?
Most of the time it’s not statistically significant lmao
Love when you go to a baseabll game and the jumbotron tells you both someones at bats and batting average AND their at bats and batting average with RISP. That’s just an intro Stats pop quiz about how to use a two proportion t test
Yeah, I’d agree with that and wanting the approval of mainstream WASPs. That said, many of those protestants of the past 50/60 years wouldnt include Catholics as Christian necessarily so i dont exactly want to base the debate with them as the arbiter of anything…
Eh from a religious studies perspective I’m not sure it’s that difficult to say they are christian. Christianity as a category does and should include Quechua-fused beliefs alongside copts alongside a host of syncretic beliefs, there’s no definition past personal identification I’d argue
The LDS church decided a few years back that they no longer wanted to be referred to a Mormon bc of a revelation, like 5 years after their huge “i am a mormon” campaign! It’s in recent memory to completely flip their opinions
The first half is literally her calling Rep Randy Fine a rootless cosmopolitan (no mention of israel or policy or anything! Just that he doesn’t make ties to the area!), with anti-antisemites like these….
Not to put too fine a point on it but also the entire first half of the statement is “this Jewish representative doesnt have roots in the community and prefers the cosmopolitan DC.”
“I′m sure we all agree that we ought to love one another, and I know there are people in the world who do not love their fellow human beings, and I hate people like that” (RIP, Tom!)

glad that the Law of the Sea was reasserted in the mlb
if i were commissioner of the mlb my first act would be to reorganize the teams into thematic divisions:
repeat after me: i am not smarter than jay powell i am not smarter than lisa cook i am not smarter than michael barr but if i stand back and watch and learn, i will be smarter than i am

red sox i love you why the fuck did you go to the white house
Funniest line of Damn Yankees is “instead of praising our goulash, They're appraising the plays of Willie Mays!” Because given that it opened in 1955 it’s likely referring to The Catch which is still considered the best play of all time (and 70 years later we’re still appraising it), suck it goulash
Between the V2 and charlie lindberg’s flight suit the national air and space msueum probably has the most nazi artifacts of any smithsonian (before even getting to any space x aquisitions)

Is amazon forgoing deals related to tariffs/the business environment? Like, if there’s fewer deals, does that show a weaker sellers perspective in addition to the consumers buying down ~40%
saw something that said how “joey chestnuts record is 76 hot dogs. Thats 20.5k calories, the same amount as in 37 big macs” which feels like a lot of effort to say that a hot dog has half the calories of a big mac
Explicitly, that antisemites have a better claim to americanness than Jews. -- "You haven't got a chance, kid," he told him glumly. "They hate Jews." "But I'm not Jewish," answered Clevinger. "It will make no difference," Yossarian promised, and Yossarian was right. "They're after everybody."
It's got novel ideas in it ig
Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
