There are roughly the same number of Jews in the US as in Israel, and we’re not lonely.

The diaspora is doing just fine, thanks.
Israel only gives a shit about diaspora Jews when it needs money or political clout from us, and spends the rest of its time sucking up to evangelicals who want us dead.

It’s an enthusiastic tool of American imperialism.
And the insistence of American Jewish institutions on treating it as some sort of unifying principle for American Jews is both daft and self-destructive.

You know what actually unites us? Being Jewish.

Not forced allegiance to a modern ethnostate that has only contempt for us.
For the 900th time, Israel’s ardent love for Christians tells you all you need to know.

They care more about the people who want us wiped out than they do about us.

STOP believing that Israel is in any way a solution to antisemitism.
Our allies here SHOULD be Black people, Indigenous people, immigrants, Muslims, and other marginalised people white Christians want gone.

Israel and evangelicals deserve each other.

if you ever wondered why this country is as white supremacist as it is, stop complaining about the South and start looking at institutions like Harvard and Yale.

This is a Yale graduate student saying walking around Berkeley as a conservative is the same as Holocaust trauma.
The institutions that half our politicians come from aren't usually obvious, frothing at the mouth white supremacy like Liberty University and its ilk.

They're quiet, old money white supremacy.
But like West Coast Tech Dude white supremacy, it's a lot harder to fight, and most people don't believe it's there, because they want to see racism and white supremacy as something that's about ignorance and economic anxiety or whatever.

why, in the year 2021 of the common fucking era does Dark Alliance have only one female character
wow, this game is BIZARRE

it's like it was developed by someone completely unaware of the UI and basic gameplay conventions of the last 10 years
also like the dialogue was written by someone who is unaware of the game writing conventions of the last 10 years

so I was lukewarm on the "Lore" podcast, but I decided to listen to "Unobscured" (which does a season-long deep dive on a single subject) by the same guy, and it is surprisingly great
When I looked at the subjects for the first three seasons, I was like "meh,"

because they are

1. Salem witch trials
2. Spiritualism
3. Jack the Ripper

and, like, yawn, could you pick more overdone subjects (other than, maybe, spiritualism)
but I have been painting a

FUCKING INFINITE

number of cabinets

so I decided to binge it and start with Jack the Ripper, the season that I assumed would bore me the most, and work up to spiritualism

At long last, I am done painting the cabinets (still have to paint the soffit and put in new floors and appliances).

Before and after: ImageImage
The thing I am most proud of, I think, is the mother-of-pearl backsplash, because I had to cut the tiny tiles with a Dremel and that was very scary at first but I did it.

I like it because it's got warm tones and keeps all the blue & silver from being too cold. Image
So all in all, with the paint and the backsplash and the hardware, I'd say it cost about $800, which was ouch RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT A FUCKING HOUSE but considerably cheaper than having someone do it, or buying new cabinets.

just a reminder, when you're cooing about how much better British police are than American police, those nice British bobbies who aren't militarized and just carry nightsticks...
they're literally called "bobbies" after Robert Peel, who looked at the British system of local constables elected from the community and decided they needed to be militarized
so they started using soldiers, who'd gotten practice expanding the British Empire, and murdering any non-Brits who protested, as policemen

they used the same tactics used against the people they colonized against their own citizens who were doing things like forming unions
