I still refuse to proof read.
Had a nice Talkud study tonight where we discussed a class we all took and took time to discuss and interpret everything in ways that we felt could motivate us to bring good in the world. And I got to talk about how I think it is important that we find readings of good in Torah.

This is the same asshole that arrested me at Brotex. Out there racking up those FTCA complaints…
If I pointed a loaded assault rifle at someone in the street with the obvious intent of intimidating them, I would be arrested and charged with assault (or worse).

This thread has felt the most like old jwitter since the time before the destruction of Twitter. It has been really nice.
What are the mitzves of Thanks Giving, a festive meal, to eat the turkey bird, to hear the story of thepilgrim, to watch the football game. And some say to argue with an uncle.

From when is the name 'stuffing' called upon it? Strongbird says: from when it is stuffed. Avi's mom says: from when it was pronounced as stuffing. Others say: from the beginning of the year, if it was declared verbally.

Harassment isn't harassment if your target is trans.

Inciting violence isn't inciting violence if your target is trans.

Trans people are not protected by law in this country.

They asked him “How much must one smoke?

Said Beis Hillel: [There is] no minimum, one must not [smoke] to excess.
Said Beis Shammai: One [inhale] for oneself, [and one inhale each] for each racist uncle.

And the Halacha accords with Beis Hillel

More evidence of the United States in the transnational repression business.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Whoever did not eat a k'zayit of the bird did not fulfill their obligation.
The meritorious eat the bird until sleepiness overtakes them.

Sarah Hurwitz, as horrible as the whole insistence on declaring all young Jews illiterate and stupid and her take on genocide education is unhinged, it's the fact that she just advocates for radical censorship to control all narratives and opinions that is absolutely monstrous.

Ive never liked Sarah Hurwitz but I especially don't like her now.

When the state limits “unacceptable decision making” by women about their own bodies, both women and the babies they’re forced to have are at increased risk of death. Stock is not a feminist. She’s a death enthusiast.

🚨🚨🚨The President of the United States is openly calling for these patriotic Americans to be arrested, imprisoned and even hanged for defending the Constitution of the United States.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.
