N.J. mayor ousts influencer from meeting over alleged hate speech. ‘This will not be tolerated.’
Bambi was written as an allegory on antisemitism, but not like this.

On why mainstream Holocaust education worsens perceptions of Jews and Israel.
I’m glad that majorities of young people still want Holocaust education; my experience has been different. I encounter resentment aimed at having to learn about Jews’ (a people many on the left define as white, European, deracialized, and privileged socially and financially) suffering dating back to a student revolt at a general history lecture I attended as an undergrad in the late ‘90s.
We also have to fight against a California Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum that teaches students as facts all the falsehoods and misconceptions this article points out about Jewish history in both Europe and the Mideast. There are interests actively trying to distort and erase who we are, the better to paint the Holocaust as merely an unexceptional example of “white-on-white violence” common during wartime.
So good luck swimming against this tide, telling to truth about Jewish origins, Jewish identity, Jewish racialization, and Arab collaboration with Nazis. For every person who sincerely wants to know about how the Holocaust was not a unique atrocity against Jews, but a culmination of millennia’s worth of continuing Jew-hate, there are many more with considerable power pushing narratives designed to frame Jews as an oppressor class much the way the Nazis did.
If Your Scene Feels Lifeless, Someone Is Being Too Polite
Stories stall when everyone behaves. Real tension appears when someone:
• asks the wrong question • says something they shouldn’t • notices something uncomfortable • refuses to drop the topic • misunderstands something important • interrupts at the worst moment
Conflict doesn’t always look like shouting.
Couple more options for tension:
They want something REALLY REALLY REALLY bad, but for some reason they can't ask for it -- or can't have it even if they did ask.
They don't notice something that the audience HAS noticed (like in a horror movie when the monster is sneaking up behind the protagonist, or if someone drinks a glass of unboiled water during a cholera outbreak because they don't know about germ theory)
Takes a risk (or otherwise does something they "shouldn't" do) which the audience has to sit through for a prolongued period of time (e.g. slips away from the party to go into the host's private office and rifle through their papers before the guards catch them)
Loses when they thought they were going to win
LOVES me a comic relief character w/ a reputation for The Melodrama—but once you consider their backstory/working conditions you realize they are actually holding shit soooooooooooooooo much closer together than most-o-us could manage in the same situation.
there are MANY goons and mooks and goofy best friend characters this applies to, but i wanna give a shout-out to the Living Prima Donna Embodiment from phantom of the opera.
woman with 20+ years experience, most respected professional in her field, refuses to work under unsafe conditions (aka shitty colleague literally trying to murder her) and instead of listening to her massively justified concern, the new tech bro investors decide to just have an entry-level employee fill in for her.
Carlotta shoulda personally been allowed bring that crummy chandelier crashing down on her shitty bosses' heads!!!
YES! YES! YES!
“These things happen” On what planet Mr French Multimillionaire?!? On what planet is that an acceptable working environment! And the Phantom is picking on her and taking her voice because he, one out of thousands, doesn’t like it! And the owners just… fold?!? No!
"UNTIL YOU STOP THESE THINGS FROM HAPPENING, THIS THANG DOES NOT HAPPEN!"
hell yeah Carlotta invoking 👏 her 👏 worker's 👏 rights 👏
I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…
Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?
This is what is meant by low literacy rates. Not that people can't read, but they don't understand what they're reading.
your aversion to anything earnest or sincere has affected us in the following ways 1. youre annoyinggggggg
I’m a fan of the lead reduction and catching killers before they become serial theories, but there’s one forgotten thing: why spread the sadism over months or years when you can murder scores of people in one go in a mass shooting? That seems to be the fashion now, and people do like to follow the latest trends.
Physics are not a fungible social construct when they were able to get us to the fucking moon and back, or when they’re able to account for gravity warping space-time for we can use a map app.
Funny how no NATO countries required US tanks gunning down protestors in the streets to keep them in the alliance. Maybe there’s just something about liberal democracy that earns legitimacy through consent, rather than by the muzzle of a gun.
We are living in exciting times, if you don’t pay attention to splash and spectacle.
Ah, AI exploiting ignorant white liberal guilt by playing up ridiculous and inaccurate stereotypes.
Was it trained on Marlon Brando or something?
what the hell is going on
i believe in you Binface. you can do it. this could be your moment.
Please god it would be so funny
there is no downside to voting for Count Binface. its not taking away from other candidates bcos they aren't any and the more votes he gets the stupider Farage looks.
for people out of the loop:
Nigel Farage is the leader of Reform UK, a far right party who are currently in the process of a serious bid to become the UK government. they are just straight up evil.
Count Binface is an intergalactic space warrior with a bin on his head. he likes to run as a novelty candidate in general and mayoral elections. a big thing he likes to do is run as a candidate against the incumbent prime minister:
(Also pictured: Boris Johnson, Elmo)
Anyway, in brief:
Nigel Farage is currently in the midst of a big scandal about his finances
He has decided to deal with this by 1) making a show of nobly resigning from parliament and then 2) immediately running in the resulting by-election
He has stated that he is letting 'the people' judge his actions and implied that if he wins that will prove that he has been exonerated in the court of public opinion
His goal was presumably to get a big resounding win over the other parties, proving that The People still love him.
the other parties have thus far decided that this is a 'vanity election' and, well, there is one very easy way to ensure that he will not beat any of them, and that is simply not to play.
and as a result the only person who has so far confirmed they are running against him is Count Binface. no matter the outcome this makes Nigel Farage look like, u know, a fucking clown.
Long live paradoxes.
Things of which I never expected there to be a synthpop version.
Sauteed sunchokes, broccoli, onion, and garlic in olive oil and herbed duck fat, with salt, pepper, thyme, basil, marjoram, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Now that he has his dream public sector that he can drown in the bathtub, I wish Grover Norquist a very explosive diarrhea.
Since he’s already in the bathroom and all, it shouldn’t be too great an inconvenience.
