I live, literally, in Midtown. At 32* north. All hail light pollution laws. I could see the blush naked-eye.

Please join me in reporting Mojave County Indivisible to the national organization for spreading and doubling down on antisemitic conspiracy theories. The only reason to think AIPAC had anything to do with yesterday is if you think Jews control the government. Email [email protected]

I'm really out of patience with Christian atheists who have decided the best way to deal with their hatred of Christianity is to hate and abuse Jews.

So is @religiondispatches.org still publishing someone who thinks antisemitism is "rational"?

When I wrote this reply, I sent this account to @postingtreyf.bsky.social, not because he'd said anything antisemitic yet, but because I knew he would as soon as some one challenged him. My literal message to Becca was "give him an hour." Check the timestamp.

For once I am actually asking for advice: Cat people! What food brands do your cats find irresistible, particularly in their golden years? Siri (almost 14) is getting increasingly picky about her food, and I am trying very hard to stave off the beginning of the weight loss and frailty.

1. Responding to a post about Judaism, not Israel, by bringing up Israel? Probably antisemitic.
2. Demanding a Jew you've never interacted with before give you their stance on Gaza? Absolutely antisemitic.
3. Assuming a Jew you've never interacted before is a "Nazi"? HORRIFICALLY ANTISEMITIC.

It took a surprisingly long time to get one of these, but for your blocking pleasure:
The word antisemitism was literally invented to replace Judenhaas, which means "Jew-hate" in German. It's not a shibboleth, its a synonym, and it short-circuts those who want to do Nazi race science about "Semite"

"If you were serious about this and it wasn't just about Israel's right to rape and murder children you wouldn't use genocidal shibboleths like "Jew hate" instead of "antisemitism""
Quote tweeting my post: "I do actually have a problem with the fact that big accounts on here that are supposedly progressive routinely spread Jew-hate and the general reaction is "but they're so go on [issue]!"
Yeah, and they're fine with spreading lies that have resulted in the repeated massacre of my people."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:b3fc47wi2e22sbkkjvjd6pgn/bafkreialwdun66p566bvon4ex7fuh3qj6axzuody2ouxbq5vjshzflz6zu@jpeg)

And this is the response I get to this post. Yeah, no antisemitism at all.

The House Appropriations Committee is scheduled to markup the science appropriations bill on Thursday morning. I don't know if the current news means this will be canceled, so I'm going to make this post with a caveat: if you call in response to this request, I may need you to redo that later.

Are you from one of these states? Then we need your help to save American science!
The Senate Appropriations Committee will be marking up the President's Budget Request for science on Wednesday. People have been saying the proposed cuts "decimated" US science, but that's wrong: they are apocalyptic

Going to take a bit longer to undo my addiction to their Recipes, but I did just get rid of the last bit of their news I read.

See? Ghostbusters car. (The yellow tape is also them, they’re trying to keep cars away from their party. Which is probably not allowed.)

Like this weekend I updated my friend and my's Minecraft server to 1.21.5 and we spent our entire weekly session looking for the new stuff. My first response on finding the cold-variant chickens: "They're purple! And they have stupid hats!" And this will be how they are forever known to us.
