If you're against Antisemitism but leave out Israeli Jews and just focus on Diaspora Jews, you aren't against Antisemitism, you're just looking for acceptable Jews to target.

B’tselem Elohim (spelled here with a quf to avoid writing a name of God) means “in the image of God.” It comes from Genesis 1:27

וַיִּבְרָ֨א אֱלֹקִים ׀ אֶת־הָֽאָדָם֙ בְּצַלְמ֔וֹ בְּצֶ֥לֶם אֱלֹקִים בָּרָ֣א אֹת֑וֹ זָכָ֥ר וּנְקֵבָ֖ה בָּרָ֥א אֹתָֽם׃

“And God created humankind in the divine image, creating it in the image of God—creating them male and female.” (Revised JPS translation, 2023)

Happy pride month! :)

I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous

re ehrc guidance. which is not legally binding.

I would like to see this go to an employment law case.. I can absolutely see the argument that in most roles it's kinda like sexual harassment to try to make you talk to customers about their genitals

This is excellent advice. Remember, you don't have to argue, you don't have to fight back, you don't have to refuse. You just have to get everything in writing. Make them actually put down in words the awful shit they are demanding you do.

Separately, a bit of general advice from my time in employment law: if your manager asks you to do something sketchy and they won’t put it down in writing? Put it down in writing yourself.

Write a contemporaneous memo stating exactly what they told you, and when, and email that memo to yourself so that you have a time stamped paper trail.

A lot of companies will absolutely throw their own employees under the bus if their shitty unwritten policies land them a legal suit from a pissed off customer. Don’t let them get away with that. Your word against theirs is a losing fight if they decide to disavow their unwritten policy. Your word taken down at the moment the policy was implemented vs. their word at the moment that they disavowed it after the fact is much better odds for you.

Ryan Gosling’s career has just been one long quest to climb the Warner Bros water tower

notaplaceofhonour

that man has been trying to climb this tower since he was 16. he has asked multiple times, and every time they said no, but now he’s famous enough & variety was able to convince them to do a shoot on the tower. it all led here. it was all for this.

I’m obsessed with the implication that this was a coming-of-age ritual where a boy becomes a man, like a bar mitzvah

Dashiell Hammett, who basically invented the noir genre (think: The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man) hung out enough in the queer scene in San Francisco in the 20s-30s that he picked up some contemporary queer lingo that he folded into his stories. In The Maltese Falcon, there’s a scene where the wildly gay-coded villain shows up at a meeting with a skinny little blonde with a bad attitude and a gun in tow, and detective Sam Spade tells him to “leave the gunsel outside” — gunsel being contemporary gay slang for a young, effeminate man who probably bottoms (from the Yiddish gansl, meaning gosling). Basically, he’s saying “I’m here to talk to you, not your twink.”

However, a lot of writers mimicking Hammett did not know gay lingo or Yiddish, saw the word “gun,” and assumed “gunsel” meant “scary bodyguard with a gun.” They took off with a word they didn’t understand and spread it so fast that it’s now basically impossible to read a noir story written between 1930-1960 without someone accidentally being called a twink at least once. Look out for it next time you’re reading Raymond Chandler or his ilk, I guarantee you’ll find it.

Much funnier is how by a decade after Hammett’s death there were a bunch of Westerns also using it to refer to gunmen up to and including the HBO series Deadwood

Mr. Bennet: Sure, I haven't taken care of my daughters' financial security, but have I at least taken care of their education? No. But have I taken care of their emotional needs? Also no. But have I been a good protector and supervisor? I'm afraid not. However, have I been a good example for my children of being a kind and respectful spouse, parent, and all around human being? No again. But through it all, have I nailed being funny? Yes. And isn't that the most important role of a father after all?

Prague’s Spanish Synagogue is a wonder for the eyes. Built in 1868 in the Moorish Revival style, it isn’t the largest synagogue in Europe, but it’s definitely one of the most ornate.
