Literally the reason Twitter sucks now is all these foreigners logged on willing to do racism for pennies on the dollar and undercut our home-grown American racists. We need to erect serious trade barriers to protect the integrity of our domestic racism industry and preserve racist jobs.

"Channukah" display at a grocery store. It has:
1. Shabbat Candles: Close, but wrong type of candles.
2. Potato Pancake Mix: Correct!
3. Gefilte Fish: generically Jewish.
4. Matza: Sorry, wrong holiday. That's Passover.
5. Grape Juice: No, that's Shabbat again.
Sigh.

I adjuncted at a local community college when I was in grad school.
I arrived at the campus expecting an interview. I was instead given a tour of "Where you'll be teaching."
The job requirement apparently was "have a certain amount of graduate credit hours and a pulse." Once I showed up, I was in.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Jews: Please stop using Jews as stock villains in your morality tale.
Christians: But it's allegorical. You people are only allegorical villains, so I don't see why you're being so fussy.

This reflection responds to a particular New Testament text that is based on a parable. Because the text is allegorical, the interpretation follows that sensibility.

It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. Congress had not authorized the use of military force.

If anything, a trade deficit means we are winning.
A trade deficit means other countries are giving us useful things in return for pieces of paper that we can print more of.
That's us winning!

It's just so weird how obsessed he is with the notion of trade deficits. What he's describing is companies successfully selling things to Americans who want to buy them. No one is losing in that deal! It's literally just a transaction!
Not even 20 minutes later and I guess we’re doing 50% tariffs on IKEA for some reason. He’s a man with a plan to make life more expensive and he can’t be stopped.

Also, people miss the context of this. The elite fancy clubs at the time excluded Jews.
So, any club that would accept him wasn't a fancy elite club, not just because he was curmudgeonly or disreputable or whatever (although there is some element of that), but also because he was Jewish.

141. I think it's very important for everyone to read the words of Marx and take them to heart. I'm especially inspired by these stirring words of his: "I do not care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members."

Also, it would be plagiarism.
61. You could never make Blazing Saddles today - the whole thing is a parody on the Western as a movie genre. And that's no longer a cultural touchstone, so most of the impact would be lost.

Mamdani will be too busy being mayor of NYC to also serve as speaker, and even if technically the speaker of the house doesn't have to be a congressperson, they always are.

See, my theory is they should have kept the original name but changed the logo to a potato.
Back before they originally changed the name, I made this as a suggested compromise. Simply become the Washington Skin

"When you seal, the debate,
With a verse, without hate, that's Amora"
"When the heat meets your eye, and you can't help but cry that a maror."
Etc.

Fun fact: I teach a quantum computing class, and tell the qubit/cubit joke.
I can always tell who the Jews in the class are, because they're the only ones who laugh, but I tell the joke anyways because I find it funny even if most of the class doesn't get it.

Fun Fact: Noah's Arc was actually a quantum computer.
At 300 qubits long, 50 qubits wide, and 30 qubits tall, it had 450,000 qubits in total.
That far outpaces the 1,121 qubits in IBM's Condor quantum computer.

Last night I had a thought on connecting Jesus' "Temple Tantrum" with his need to be hosted for the last supper that I'm not sure I've ever heard discussed before on either Jewsky/JTwitter or among Christian allies. I'm curious if anyone else has seen or discussed this.
