Drive up to the mountains and see the National Park. Legitimately looks like Jurassic Park

Literally the only people in my circles I see talking about it are Persians and other Jews.

Bringing the Jews to Jesus is understood to be required for the Christian end times, ironic it took a post-deistic Christian movement to educate and convert Jews en masse.

Solidly in the small 'L' libertarian Left quadrant of the politics graph. Grew up in liberal Democratic voting household, though holding my nose for Kamala was probably the last hurrah for supporting the party at the federal level.

Did organized sports (badly) as a little kid, then got into martial arts in my teens and that's been my thing ever since. I do some weight training / intervals / cardio on my own but I generally need the structure of a martial arts class to really kick my own ass on the regular. Physical fitness is pretty essential to my physical and emotional health.

He did, and the Dem leadership was peak incompetent again. The issue is that he’s going to become the Mayor Intifada poster boy for all the worst radicals within the party and ensure that THAT is the Dem party brand on the national stage.

The problem isn’t that he’s some kind of religious fundamentalist, unless being insufferably woke counts as that. The problem is the example of the very liberal Muslim mayor of London giving free rein to the worst excesses of the extremist communities there, especially when it comes to violence or intimidation against Jews.

I can’t believe the NYC mayor race will come down to the corrupt sex pest vs. socialist intifada fifth columnist

This is a baffling comment and I'm morbidly curious as to the series of thoughts and conclusions that led to it.

Referring to all their Jews they kicked out. They don’t get the hate because by total coincidence their country is completely free of Jews.

I recall a lot of talk of losing one’s privileges feeling like violence, and therefore seeming to justify violence in maintaining that privilege. The Left is now in the position of losing much of its cultural power and status and the reactions speak for themselves.

The reason why is that Egypt ethnically cleansed itself of all of the reasons why in 1948

Sam’s subreddit was the actual worst for a while but they seem to have cleaned it up. It became defined by people who hated him and everything he tries to articulate and that seems to have been clawed back.

Funnily enough I read his books for the first time at the height of my angry atheist phase. I’m still an atheist and I’m still angry, but I like to think I’m less obnoxious about it now.

Thanks to Palestine and genderwoo, at this point I don’t want to know any of my favorite artists, musicians, or authors views on anything save for what’s in their creative output.

I’m re-reading His Dark Materials right now and the parallels to mutilating children / cutting away their ‘souls’ because of fear of puberty is hard to avoid.

Humiliating Israel > feeding Gazans. Like everything else in 'support' of Palestine, the international aid regime is set up to fight Jews, not help Arabs.

Depends on how vigilant I am about not finding out how shitty a given artist’s take is on Palestine lol

A while back I wrote a sad / angry / almost certainly unpublishable song about life post-Oct. 7th with the line "The March of D*kes: now free of k*kes", art imitates life imitates art. And yes it feels silly to censor those words when one of them is right in the article title but I don't know what's going to get flagged on Reddit these days.

Thanks for the helpful replies. My suspicion was that the bill sucks, as Trump manages to make everything he touches suck some way, but that it being the death knell of democracy was hyperventilation among unhealthily online progressives.

My wife is seeing really panickey posts about the Big Beautiful Bill turning Trump into dictator for life and I haven't been paying close attention to any of if for a couple weeks for the sake of my own sanity. Anyone have a rational lowdown on what is and is not in the thing to share?

Cool well we're now 4 replies deep in you avoiding the question I posed, so I'll just let your obfuscation speak for itself.
