Also. I like the IKEA ekenaset chair so much that I have two. But it's definitely not Inigo aspirational

@showerabsolute.bsky.social Not Modern House, but Inigo here showing a TV so prominently in the photos. Standards slipping

Q "Why is there spinach?"
A "In the fridge?"
Q "No, why does spinach exist"

Physics, History, English, and Latin teachers of mine have all been found out (and successfully prosecuted) for paedophilia, and even we didn't have rumours as lurid as that (maybe that's how they got away with it though 😳)

Just hoping my kids, freezing today in their tiny pop up sukkah in a London back garden, feel as positively in the future

When you could invoke the first Israelite King, just ignore the obvious, and invoke one of the most antisemitic "king's" Tsar Alexander II instead

So, happy 362nd anniversary to this entry from the Diary of Samuel Pepys – who had gone to bed the three previous nights “in some pain”, “in great pain”, and “beginning to be troubled with wind as I used to be”

Diary of Samuel Pepys, 7 October 1663: I did keep my bed; and my pain continued on me mightily, that I keeped within all day in great pain, and could break no wind nor have any stool after my physic had done working. So in the evening I took coach and to Mr Hollyards, but he was not at home; and so home again. And whether the coach did me good or no I know not, but having a good fire in my chamber, I begun to break six or seven small and great farts; and so to bed and lay in good ease all night, and pissed pretty well in the morning, but no more wind came as it used to do plentifully, after it once begun, nor any inclination to stool.

Defining the mere existence of the Palestinian national project as being in opposition to the safety of Jews living anywhere in the world is obviously unfair to Palestinians, but it also ultimately reifies the logic that makes synagogues in diaspora targets of anti-Israel violence. It helps no one.

The people responding to a horrible attack on a shul in the diaspora with "This is about Israel-Palestine" are essentially arguing that Jewish existence and Palestinian existence worldwide are fundamentally irreconcilable.

Unfortunately, the Board of Deputies of British Jews appears to agree.

Joseph Finlay @josephfinlay.bsky.social · 6d

Absolute unhinged nonsense from @boardofdeputies.bsky.social

STATEMENT: Board of Deputies calls for more than 400 protest terror arrests to also be investigated for stirring up racial hatred

The Board of Deputies utterly condemns the morally grotesque protests that took place today and over recent days.

After the most deadly attack on British Jews since the York Massacre of 1190, we called for the protests to be stopped out of respect to the dead. Politicians and police echoed our community’s call, stressing the burden of policing this rally while providing enhanced protection to more than 300 synagogues across our traumatised community.

The crass insensitivity shown by the protesters, more than 400 of whom were arrested for supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation, is an offence to public decency.

That they would go ahead despite our pleas shows such reckless disregard for public safety and our community’s wellbeing that we consider the underlying motivation to be not just their support for terror, but that they are antisemitic acts, designed to stir up racial hatred. As such we are calling today for those arrested to also be investigated and prosecuted for stirring up racial hatred.

We are demanding that the Government look again at the legislation and powers available to police to stop this continued assault on community relations, city centres, and stretched police resources. What is happening on our streets is just not acceptable. Freedom to protest must come alongside a sense of decency and civil responsibility that seems to completely evade these hateful marchers.

It's been a challenging few days. And now, on top of it all, messages from school that there are cases of head lice in both kids' classes 🦗

As a visibly Jewish person, I always know that going to a synagogue means assuming a certain degree of risk. But now I know that if something were to happen to me, it wouldn't just be sad for my family, but people would try to exploit my death to push policies I deplore.
