it’s weird to mention yiddish just because the guy you hate is jewish
most references to a living language being “ancient” get real weird real fast but talking about the ancientness of a language that’s barely a thousand years old feels like its own kind of weird

One of the things you learn as an ancient historian is that when you sit next to a white guy on a plane and they ask you what you do, you are going to to need to tell them that you are an accountant.

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

Please take the time and see this on the biggest screen that is available to you. It was filmed for the cinema experience. It is so funny and thrilling and the final needledrop made me burst into open-hearted tears.
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is that girl.

WH stands by Ingrassia, who said education should focus on helping "elevate the high IQ section of your demographics, so you know, basically young men, straight White men.”
These words are from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s pick to head the Office of Special Counsel.
Some Senate R’s now against him but the White House still stands by him.
Sexist, a little pro Nazi, but what jumps out is the insane level of racism.

there’s this setup, as in trap, that gets inside to tell us we can’t help each oher, that we don’t have enough to share, that it is too risky to open ourselves to one another’s needs & situations. but we are enough. when we share the load & the risks & the openness, we are plenty.

Tolerance is a social contract. It only works if both people are cooperating. Once one refuses, the contract is broken and the extension of tolerance MUST be retracted in the same way that you can cooperate with a bank until they steal your money. Then you must stop doing business with that bank.
The whole idea of being tolerant of them because thats the "higher" stance is such a fallacy. Because once they get in power they will then turn on you and kill you..
You cannot be tolerant of the intolerable
