Good Shabbos to everyone who is counting the hours until their houseguests leave, and to everyone else.
Extra special good Shabbos to everyone who lit Hanukkah candles tonight because the family is all together and won’t be together on Hanukkah.

There is no Jew worse than the Jew who desperately wants to be accepted by the white goyim
Some of the most grinding, daily antisemitism I experienced growing up in the Midwest was lead by a fellow Jewish kid that I now see as trying to create a space between himself and the other Jewish kids at school in the eyes of our peers

I think the “kidding aside” part of this thread is on point.

Tucker Carlson is Nick Fuentes’ biggest interview to date, but it looks like Piers Morgan will be a close second. And while Tucker has a more concentrated MAGA base, Morgans’ will be more culturally diffused & global

You want well adjusted characters. Grown up characters. Complicated characters.

I’m different. I want biblical characters: fucked up, scared, constantly misunderstanding simple instructions, earning doom for subsequent generations.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

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.

The sad thing about this is that the ugly holiday sweater thing is like a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of something genuinely tremendous: Scandinavian knitwear.
I didn’t have egg nog til I was in my 20s. Didn’t know that ugly Christmas sweaters were a thing. Had never heard of a debate between white lights or colored lights. These were as foreign to me as eating a pork chop, another thing no one I knew did (we all ate bacon though 🤷🏻‍♀️).

Welp, my local library had a copy of Robert Eggers's extended cut of NOSFERATU on DVD, so against my better judgement I am giving it a re-watch. I *despised* this movie when I saw it in the theater last year, but let it never be said that I am a man unwilling to reevaluate his opinions.

and 3) please be wary of anything that seems to invite the response "ah, of course [American government institution] is secretly run by Israel!"
that Twitter screenshot allegedly revealing the DHS account is operated from Tel Aviv is probably fake because 1) it originated from an anime shitposter on Twitter, 2) the formatting does not align with other accounts subject to the feature [it revealed only countries, not specific cities]

Immantise the eschaton. That’s what we’re going to do folks. We’re going to immantentise – such a beautiful word, it means bring forward or make immediate – the eschaton. You’re going to love the eschaton. The Democrats, they say no, don’t immantentise the eschaton – well we’re going to do it folks

Everything about this ‘peace deal’ is appalling. Hand-crafted in Moscow and adopted by a Trump regime that panders to dictators.

Forcing Ukraine to strip itself of territory & its ability to defend itself is despicable.

Oops earnest:

The last several months just lurking on Jewsky have actually been very cool

This site is, despite it all, a kind of neat place to plug into Jewish ideas and spiel about them with others despite being (with apologies/thanks? to E. Tamkin) a self identified “Bad Jew.”

Shabbat Shalom.
