  My great-grandfather left his shtetl in the Pale and came to America for three reasons. 1) to avoid the pogroms. 2) to avoid impressment and involuntary service in the Czar's army. (I thought that was a hell of a thing. Either the cossacks come and try to kill you, or you could be forced into the military to serve involuntarily for twenty years. Or both!) 3) To get away from the Rabbi. He was sick of it. Sick of the stifling traditional life. #Judaism

  Thing is, Macklemore actually is anti-Semitic. Not because of what he said about Palestine, obviously. Because of the time he dressed up on stage as a hook-nosed Jewish caricature. So let’s please cancel #Macklemore for the correct reasons, not the wrong ones

  Maybe I have to block all of the Kollektiva instance. I’m getting tired of arguing with other lefties who are a bit too quick to indulge in bloodthirsty rhetoric about Jews, or who think being Jewish is something to accuse me with. I know not everyone on there does that, but it’s becoming a theme, and hey, what’s a little collective punishment among friends? It’s the hip political logic of today!

  I had these three leeks I got at the grocery. I used some of them, and only had part of the white ends in the crisper box in the fridge. They kept putting out a little new growth at the cut ends, so, eventually, when I hadn’t eaten them, I stuck them in a container. Nothing more than three a-few-inches-long stubs. Well, one of them has survived, and the seed head is about to open. I am going to save the seeds, and start leeks early next spring #gardening #LifeFindsAWay

  This third place game is hilarious! It was 4-0 to England, but now it’s 4-3 — and I bet it’s going to finish 5-4 to France. There’s still 20 minutes left! Straight up goofballs and nobody will really care, except maybe Messi, who will now have to score a couple in the final to retain the golden boot over Mbappé #FRAENG #FediFC #WorldCup #WorldCup2026

  Public library ebooks are basically a thing of the past. Libby is bleeding the libraries to death, sucking tax money straight to private equity. (KKR owns it). For that cost, you get very little, beyond hockey-playing-vampire romance novels and other dumb bestsellers. If your experience with Libby is still good: 1) You live in one of the few remaining cities in the US with a well-funded library 2) It won’t last. Libby is a parasite that’s indifferent to its host’s long-term survival 🧵

  A vistor fashions a wire antenna in the shape of an ancient Egyptian symbol. He points it at the stones, and a surge of power rushes into his arm, knocking him unconscious Was it all in his mind, or was it much more than that? https://youtu.be/v4zBYh2PUyk?si=LEMkrAVpZYjSmFBU

  Fear is itself traumatic, because you rehearse, fantasize, and dream what you fear, and the unconscious is bad at knowing the difference between reality, fantasy, and dreams—except possibly in vividness. It’s all experience. You can certainly experience things that have never happened to you, over and over. Just like you can experience what has happened, over and over, in memory and imagination and dreams. The relationship between experience and reality is pretty vague.
