@chababe.bsky.social you may find this of interest!

I know your dvar was already too long and you were cutting things out, but I can't believe I forgot about that Rashi in the begining of the parsha where yaakov was distressed that he might have to kill in self defense!

Slight correction: gentiles have 7 commandments, not 10.

Aside from Prof. Daniel Boyarin, I’m struggling to think of a cis-hetero-male who has written about sexuality in Judaism who has NOT been credibly accused of abuse.

I’d phrase it as the Nazis are claiming that we must be bad if that many countries kicked us out.

Same, though for me it was the anti-Semitic dog-whistles and the alt-right’s of of the Menuval’s presidential campaign in 2016.

It’s shocking: for years, the right would conflate not supporting Israel with anti-semitism, to make the case for supporting Israel.

Now the right is conflating not supporting Israel with anti-semitism, to make the case for anti-semitism.

Notice that she mentioned Nazism, and he just tried to make it an Israel thing. (Granted that Loomer believes that all anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, but still.)

(Semi-) pro tip: fake beef/chicken soup seasoning is usually pure sodium so always use less than the proportions that package calls for.

Obviously not the same, but I’m sure your nearest Kosher store has Pareve beef bouillon cubes or powder. If you want to go the other way, you could do real beef stock and use vegan cheese (though personally I still can’t get myself to eat vegan cheese).

No problem, probably better for me not to know.

Yeah, just wondering (against my better judgment) what she said that you were referencing.

I probably don’t want to know but what did she say about Jacob Frank?

Even though the players in the NFL are on a completely different level than those in college, wouldn’t they play sloppier due to bad coaching?
