Yes, and this outcome is often viewed as a Jewish plot.

Incels for most of my life have also have aired a whole lot of unhinged circumcision theories. Many of them likewise blame the Jews. But a lot of them blame their parents and John Kellog. I don't know how and when so many of them reached the broader manosphere, but the tapestry is rich now.

For the normal people in the room, you should probably know this shit is a hit with neo-Nazis. The 14-year old Groyper you know has more space in his head for circumcision conspiracies (all of which blame the Jews) than you have space in your head for your cousins' first names.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

In this fragile world, Sukkot reminds us that safety comes best from solidarity, from making peace with neighbors, from being good hosts & guests, from sharing food, from remembering that we are small & precarious, from worshipping what is holy. Not from building walls and making war.

Through all the broken ceasefires, bombs sent, and innocent people needlessly killed, many of the civilians kidnapped two years ago remain captive. Though they have been abandoned by the promises of powerful men, their families are still left wondering if they live.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

We have heard a lot recently about very bad things that have happened to actual, verifiable humans who came to believe that LLMs are Sentient - meanwhile, we have seen pretty much zero real-world examples of bad outcomes flowing from "rigorously avoiding viewing LLMS as sentient."

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources."

Oracle is about to own TikTok.

Eli Clifton @eliclifton.com · 6d

Execs at Oracle, the likely new owner of TikTok, are VERY outspoken in Israeli media about the company's "mission to support the State of Israel" & "unequivocal support for Israel."

Insufficiently pro-Israel Oracle staff receive mental health counseling. responsiblestatecraft.org/oracle-tikto...

Oracle execs: Love Israel or maybe this isn't the job for you

Employees who disagreed were reportedly referred to company mental health services
