@jscholes BRB changing my signature and bios now. 😛

@Oeneus I hear you. Only problem with something in their diet though is that they can always sneak it. Maybe if we stuck to something like their favorite snacks or something. Or stuff they need to very publicly use for which there's no alternative.

@Oeneus We need to figure out how to get them to believe that the internet has ties to Israel so they'll boycott all of it they can't quietly use.

Today is so fired.

@AlliFlowers @Bam @judah Just to add to this thread, I completely understand where dukepaaron is coming from with regard to Twitter, and I also completely understand everyone who left because Elon and the people he platforms. I left for the same reasons. Well, that, and he fired the entire accessibility team. I also agree with dukepaaron that the fediverse is absolute hot garbage when it comes to antisemitism, and the constant need to block, especially people who used to be awesome until they took the damn mask off, has me feeling all kinds of not pleasant feelings. Fortunately there's bird.makeup, which lets us bring over the Twitter accounts we used to love to read, and while we can't do a massive Jewport with it, we can use it to make our home timelines a bit more bearable. With all of that said though, the fediverse is my last social media stop. If things get to a point where they're intolerable here despite mitigation steps, I'm out.

@dukepaaron This law codifies the Trump executive order I believe, which is basically Congress's way of ensuring that a not Trump president can't just reverse it with another executive order. It's also probably not going to do much in the way of anything actually practical on behalf of Jews facing problems of antisemitism on campus, assuming it passes the senate. Which, in this climate, I'll be surprised if it doesn't.

@blobcat Yeah people are basically passing this off as a genie.

@blobcat True, but it's still kind of humorous that this is being passed off as some new shiny awesome thing. Kind of like how iPhones are surrounded by a ton of hype still until you strip away the appearance of "magic".
