Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

Lots of responses to this that are missing the point entirely. Yes, we live in a Christian hegemony so everyone knows the story of Christmas. It has some fine lessons. But don't critique Jews (even awful ones) by saying that they should be more Christian.
Hey, @atherton.bsky.social plenty of valid ways to slam Stephen Miller could we please NOT do "this guy doesn't even get the meaning of Christmas" given that Miller is Jewish?

“A politician must earn my vote” is really the ultimate triumph of consumerism.
No conception that voting is a collective power. Just an empty belief that a vote is a type of currency that one uses to purchase a politician.

Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

I’m sorry, are you genuinely stupid enough to believe “the guy who shot at a crowd of Jews said he didn’t do it because of hatred for Jews”. Like are you really that fucking dumb?
So the younger shooter, in a video submitted to the court, claims the shooting was aimed at the Zionist policies of Israel as a state. This is distinct from being an attack against Jewish people as a group. Once again the pro-Zionist coalition and right wing media jumped the gun and got it wrong.

The thing that is specifically resonant about the 60 MINUTES incident is how many online versions of the report were recorded on cell phones etc, similar to how Soviet samizdat were often printed on illicit homemade or obsolete presses, lending them a characteristic janky print quality.
I kept seeing people use the word samizdat to refer to the Canadian sourcing of the 60 Minutes report on CECOT pulled by Bari Weiss. Here's the definition from Merriam-Webster:

The self-proclaimed "covid conscious" crowd who helped mainstream anti-mRNA sentiment are as much to blame for this as the rest of the antivaxxer crowd. This isn't just about covid vaccines, it's also about mRNA cancer vaccine research, but none of the anti-mRNA useful idiots care about that.
A new report from researchers at the Yale School of Public Health warns that the U.S. government’s abrupt cancellation of funding for mRNA vaccine research could have devastating health and economic consequences for the nation.

I know many Jews have complicated feelings about Christmas but I will say that I absolutely love a holiday in which everything around me is festive and yet there are zero societal explanations placed on me personally to do *anything* and also there's possibly dim sum
