@the_etrain This year's internet win.

@greenmountaingirl He destroyed his career 20+ years ago and has been willingly providing cover for antisemites ever since.

They're an antisemite.

I will likely keep you company for at least part of this.

@simon @Alice I trhink they likely mean it, but we'll see if it actually takes off and it becomes true federation, (I.E. something other than read-only for Threads content).

Don't hope, you're just going to be disappointed.

@Bam @aelliotpr Neither of these things are going to happen.

@aelliotpr All of this kind of reminds me of the argument about how the swastika didn't start out as a nazi symbol and so we shouldn't automatically assume everyone using it is a nazi. (I first learned about this argument from an ex-boyfriend which is part of the reason he's very firmly an ex, but that's a collection of stories for another day in which I have copious amounts of alcohol and weed). Anyway, if you're using a swastika I'm assuming you're a nazi. Also, if you and your friends are yelling "from the river to the sea" I'm assessing the risk of you and your friends being genicidal fucks as too high for me to dig up some sort of benefit of the doubt on your behalf. See also: If you either regularly make jokes about raping women, or you regularly defend others who do the same as not really misogynist assholes and I just need to calm down, I'm assuming you're a misogynist asshole.

@TonyStark @weirdmustard Stealing "goyslighting".

@TonyStark @weirdmustard Stealing "goyslighting".

Oh yay congratulations!

Which book is that?

Yeah same.

@alm10965 It would still need a shamash, since along with being used to light the other lights, the shamash is there so that the menorah can be used as a non-ritual light source. The lights lit for Hanukah specifically cannot be used other than as a physical witness of the miracles, which means if you need light for something like reading or seeing your way they couldn't be used. Thus the other uses of the shamash.

Stemlords. I'm stealing this.

@galad This is the absolute worst episode of "Worst Person Great Point". I do not like this timeline.

@raf @OeconomicusRatio @tjcasser This never gets old.

Yep pretty much.
