Not the main point here, which is as Revan says just gutter anti-Semitism, but it does make me genuinely aggravated how utterly ignorant and uncurious these people are about very basic concepts of how cuisine travels and how food history works, which are really interesting topics!

The entire logic obviously has nothing to do with food, since it shows zero awareness of the history of food, and is just about applying anti-Semitic stereotypes of greedy thieving Jews to every possible cultural sphere

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 38m

Israelis are no more or less likely than any other people to 'claim other people's cuisine as their own' because that is not how cuisine works.

Would anyone get angry at calling hot dogs American cuisine because it's a theft of German sausages?

Also the people most mad about inflation happen to be voters who are far less likely to participate in a midterm election. 2022 wasn’t the same electorate!

No inflation was actually high and once prices are up and interest rates are up people simply do not appreciate prices rising less steep.

Yeah, look the Fetterman comparison could be totally unfair! Different guys, different circumstances etc. But it would certainly make me feel better if any of the Fetterman boosters turned Platner boosters showed like the slightest bit of caution or epistemic humility this time round

It's insane how much this is the universe actively giving everyone who claims to regret having promoted Fetterman a redo button to prove they've learned literally ANYTHING at all since then, and so many people are sprinting to run face-first into the same exact wall.

My view remains that it’s good for Maine to have a contested primary and very silly to polarize yourself on a race where it is *absolutely pivotal* that the winner win the GE no matter what, but man the shades of Fetterman are so strong in all this lol.

"Smoking outside after the town hall, Platner rattled off some current U.S. senators who he admires: Independent Bernie Sanders, and Democrats Chris Van Hollen, Brian Schatz, Sheldon Whitehouse, Ed Markey. On the other side of the aisle, Josh Hawley of Missouri."

I thought that the Pritzker hype was frankly too early and pretty much exclusive to this website. (In polling for 2028 he's effectively a nonentity.) And even I think it's incredibly silly how he was chucked into the trash like last week's present from mommy and daddy because his power has limits.

Great review which convinced me!

Like last time I said this, I had people making all sorts of claims about how he himself had said the stroke had changed his views etc which when you chased them down were not actually true (he said he got more clear about expressing stuff he had previously believed) but have become online canon

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 6h

It has become the way of avoiding doing any soul searching whatsoever, and of course on the internet there are always dozens of equally wrong people ready to supply reasons why actually you were all right all along

No I do not; as I’ve said, I am very happy that he has pragmatically reversed himself across the board to adopt better policies than the ones he instinctively supported, but remain somewhat wary of the extent to which he will actually prioritise them. What he does in office will decide it

this is sociopathic behaviour and I think we need to treat it as such! just because something has become easy to do doesn't mean it has become less creepy, or more acceptable!

Have we considered that the bye is a detriment but exclusively for the National League East since 2022?

The final four teams:

had a bye

and we never talked about the bye being a detriment ever again

Kind of figured the Brewers would probably win all the way, for no especially good reason, even when the Cubs came back to tie the series. Then they did. Ho hum.

Feels perfectly fitting we had a Game 5 that was on paper close the whole way through but never felt all that tense or entertaining

Exactly this tbh. Not even your fault buddy, I just need you to never ever win or perform well in a huge spot for the rest of your doubtless long career!

Anyway got one wild card wrong (dammit Padres) but a perfect 4 for 4 on the Division Series.

Next up: two pennant winners who have never won a world series

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 12d

Playoff Predictions:

Padres over Cubs
Dodgers over Reds
Brewers over Padres
Dodgers over Phillies
Brewers over Dodgers

Tigers over Guardians
Yankees over Red Sox
Mariners over Tigers
Blue Jays over Yankees
Mariners over Blue Jays

WS: Mariners over Brewers

Its funny because Brewers fans haaaaate the Mets now and we have nothing against them in particular. It was a bit more heated last year with that dumb opening series fight and Hoskins etc but I feel like a lot of Mets fans have even been wanting them to win the pennant!
