Kep1er -- Xiaoting

I love this look. I'm praying that I can like, if not love, Kepler's next comeback after a couple of disappointments.

RESCENE

I don't usually pay that much attention to album sales figures, but I'm happy to see that "Lip Bomb" is doing well.

RESCENE are one of my favourite groups, so I want them to be successful and enjoy long and happy careers as idols.

T to R: Liv, May, Zena, Woni […]

It's not often that I have to take a break from a book, but I needed three days off from page after page of purple prose about people neither pleasant nor entertaining nor interesting.

Wolfe's 1929 Bildungsroman, a coming of age in North Carolina novel, was once […]

@rLok

Joan Marion, born in Launceston, Tasmania, in 1908 was a stage film, and television actress. Wikipedia informs me that she " famously turned down Jack Warner and a Hollywood career, describing him as 'a horrid little man.' "

For Thanksgiving my son and I went to a Chinese hotpot restaurant.

We both enjoyed it. It was much more fun than chewing on tasteless turkey, pushing green bean sludge around on one's plate, and having to listen to elderly people sound off at length.

In the short term, the left's objective must be to ensure that fascists do not get elected. In the UK, that will mean intelligent tactical voting.

In the medium and longer term, winning arguments and driving the public narrative about issues like health, housing […]

🧵 4/4

Repugnant neonazi stuff.

Making excuses for Aladwan and people like her not only foments hatred and violence against Jews, but also hands a propaganda gift to the Israeli right.

3/4

Lots of decent and reasonable people think that the Israeli government should be condemned in the strongest terms and that this condemnation should be accompanied by appropriate sanctions, but this post is unambiguously antisemitic.

This is clearly more than a strongly felt antizionism:

OK, I should get offline and continue reading. Unfortunately, I am not enjoying my current book (Thomas Wolfe -- Look Homeward, Angel) that much, but I have to get through it. I also have a ton of other things to read and write!
