Welcome back to the Chair Company recap!

If the Tikvah Fund becomes the main representative of academic Jewish Studies in the United States, which is clearly what the US government wants, we will be telling queer and trans scholars that they have no place in Jewish Studies. And it will be a loss to all of us in the field.

The garment-rending that came with the Notre Dame fire would be an under reaction to this. Vile
Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.
My rage knows no bounds

Thomas Rousseau, leader of white nationalist Patriot Front, spoke at a vigil for Charlie Kirk in Fort Worth, Texas over the weekend. This is the first time I'm aware of that Rousseau and his loyalists did not attend a rally wearing Patriot Front's trademark uniform. They feel emboldened. 1/3

did I hallucinate the cold-blooded murder of a husband and wife legislator in their homes by somebody pretending to be a cop? was that a figment of my imagination?

Jerry Seinfeld compared the #FreePalestine movement to the KKK:
“Just say you don’t like Jews. By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better"

He can't hear you. Also I love that you're rancorous about the hat but not that he's depicting himself as a character who's a slaughtering mass murderer of innocents who is the embodied representative of the insanity of war. He's threatening Chicago with war. You're barking at an ai pic about a hat.
Take off that Cavalry hat, you draft dodger.
You didn’t earn the right to wear it.
Stolen valor at its worst.
