I’m sorry about my Becky tears but it’s not my fault: I’m a water sign.

Only learned about this today. In May 1976 the Liverpool Daily Post, writing about the mother of Reggie, Ronnie and Charlie Kray (whose name was Violet), came up with quite possibly the greatest Freudian typographical slip of all time...

Yeah, the “gotta ban the evil Zionists ‘cos *they’re* the risk to public safety” narrative is fast losing credibility.

New York electing a new mayor is just so exciting. Just think how life changing it will be for the whole world if he switches blue bins to a Thursday, for example.

“The sad truth is that reader interest in African stories is very low; whereas in Israel and Gaza it is high. Data analysis allows media outlets to count these views and clicks very carefully — and take them into account when deciding whether to commission expensive foreign assignments.”
This is a really good piece from @joshglancy.bsky.social. Far from “whataboutery“, it’s a genuine attempt to to wrestle with a disturbing and peculiar feature of contemporary politics, namely “why is the world quite so obsessed with Israel and Palestine?” www.jewishnews.co.uk/the-world-wa...
The world was outraged by Gaza. So why doesn’t it care about Sudan? - Jewish News
Sudan’s horror is plain to see. The hypocrisy and indifference is harder to watch

I've seen so many examples of Hot-Girls-For-Zohran kind of "political" "activism" that I've come up with a name for it: thirst-trap progressivism. "You could have me, but first, you need to get on board with my beliefs".
No matter how progressive you are, the most important thing to be is Hot. Your points are invalid if you are not Hot. You must constantly signal that you are Hot, even if you're just campaigning for a NYC mayoral candidate.

This is a very old argument on the right. Fuentes is just the first mainstream figure to move from "not all Jews, just the rich ones" to "yeah, all Jews."

Dick Cheney introduced the term waterboarding into the lexicon and if he doesn't seem so bad now it's only because the current vice president is such a terrible person.
