the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

It’s all good, I get it. I grew up in NYC and hear that shit all the time too haha. Appreciate the link!

It’s poking fun at Israelis who claim to have invented all kinds of middle eastern dishes. Which I’ve been learning more about Mizrahi Jewish history and at BEST, it’s unclear who “invented” them. But yeah, shouldn’t be a topic tbh.

Many of you followed me because my post about adopting Zeppole got a lot of traction, and now, he needs your help!

Zepp needs dental work, including multiple extractions, in order to live his best life. The vet estimated a max cost of $2,300 for this. Donate/share if you can!

Okay I’m open to the idea I’m wrong but I literally looked up “st Louis metro crime stats” and “st Louis city crime stats” so do you have a source I can check out?

For sure, but I definitely have seen people claiming that Israel “invented” certain dishes that existed long before Israel. Though I suppose those people might MEAN the nation of Jews as a people so it’s definitely a fraught thing.

I was looking at the metro stats already. Do you have a specific source?

lol did not expect this one to take off but I just wanna say there’s no such thing as a good cop. ACAB means all for a reason.

Please don’t bother with this nonsense about “oh bad cops will leave” because A. No they won’t and B. There is no point in making that distinction.

I’m not disputing that redlining exists nor that crime is largely a product of socioeconomic factors. How else would you compare the “danger” of 2 cities?

Mark Misoshnik 🏴 @misoshnik.bsky.social · 7h

That’s great but anecdotal evidence is hardly representative. I grew up in a “bad” neighborhood and never had a problem, too, but there were still people getting shot.

Gotcha, and to be clear I am Jewish, this was the first I had seen criticizing the post and it wasn’t immediately clear what it problematic. Thanks for clarifying

I think it’s objectively true that there is a higher rate of violent crime in St. Louis…

I’m genuinely struggling to understand the antisemitism here. Can you please explain?

Telling you you’re a fatuous dipshit is part of idea exchange

Oooooeeee there are a lot of people with gags in their hands on this site. Used to be a nice open space for idea exchange.

First thing we did when we landed in NY was go to a 24-hour diner and get breakfast at 11pm. It was incredible

One beautiful thing about being an adult is that you can just bring an ice cold beverage into the shower and nobody will stop you
