INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS x BABEL x MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER

NYC, 1945. After her third college rejection, Daniela Schechter fakes being an old money WASP to get around admissions quotas on Jews. Little does she know how much crime she'll commit to maintain the ruse...

#P2Pit #A #UW #T #His

A moodboard with the following images: 1. A black typewriter 2. A black and white photo of a blonde white woman with shoulder length hair, wearing a sweater and a headscarf, looking to the side with a smirk 3. A marble statue of a Roman goddess holding a cornucopia 4. A silver letter opener 5. A burning house. Typewriter-style text in the middle reads, "If I must be vengeful, so be it."

Memes don't really help, but neither does pretending everything is fine. There's a real answer, but it's unwise to discuss on social media.

Can't believe this is a question my doctor's office has to ask separately from contact with someone who's sick. #ThanksTrump

Question from MyChart asking: "Have you been exposed to or been notified of exposure to a person with known or suspected measles?" I answered "no."

89 years ago today Mosley attempted to march his blackshirts through the East End of London. The Jewish press counselled calm. East End Jews - backed primarily by Irish & Communists - beat them back with fists, pipes, clubs. Old women poured hot water on them from above.

Two.

They mounted a helicopter assault and destroyed an entire apartment building and zip tied all of its residents to arrest two guys for maybe being in a gang.

DHS says an operation last week in which agents raided a Chicago apartment building, rappelled in from helicopters, broke down doors and detained numerous residents, resulted in the arrest of two suspected gang members.

(I am not exempt from "if you're white." If I start talking about evil white people who don't season their food in a book exclusively about white people, feel free to beat me with a comically large hammer.)

Noga is in the query trenches!! @nogayourbroga.bsky.social · 9d

Petty gripe but: if you're white and your book has no characters of color, you shouldn't be writing white people jokes. It's cringe virtue signaling at best.

Through gritted teeth I am forced to hand it to Jude Doyle, who wrote a very good analysis of the ghosts haunting music criticism's past and present. Also apparently we both like EMA.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

just worth reiterating that historically "we need to throw these people under the bus for pragmatic reasons" is often indistinguishable from, "I, personally, do not like these people and want to throw them under the bus." www.everythingishorrible.net/p/martin-nie...

From the #gazaflotilla, David Adler writes that “It is a blessing that we are approaching interception at the onset of Yom Kippur—our annual day of atonement—which calls us to reflect on our sins, and what can be done to repair them in the spirit of tikkun olam.”

www.thenation.com/article/worl...

From the Gaza Flotilla: “I’m Here Because My Jewish Heritage Demands It”

I hope that fellow Jews will join me in redefining their approach to atonement—together with silent prayer, and toward courageous action to put an end to this horrific genocide.

It’s official: the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide.

The UN body calls on nations to stop sending weapons to Israel, ensure people within their jurisdiction aren’t aiding or inciting the genocide, and hold those who are accountable.
