@Hybridathlete You know you’re starting to get fit when you buy Costco candy in bulk thrilled with yourself by its association with your next hard track workout.
@KyleMcCordMuse I work in a majority black workplace, my Jewish surname gets commented on repeatedly whenever it gets noticed on my ID, our shared schedule, etc. I’m socially aware and also clearly leftist so the issue usually fades, but some coworkers will always judge me on my name alone.
@sahelianbladee The same political faction responsible for popularizing the concept of “microaggressions” wants you to believe literal attacks on synagogues are merely fascist Zio-tears. Far too many underemployed bullies in this here tent.
@QueenMab87 I had a coworker try to tell me the U.S. gave out direct cash reparations to American Jews following our involvement in WW2. Never underestimate the fallacious thinking of antisemites.
@QueenMab87 Genuinely curious, how would some epistemic humility in a situation like that be viewed as an unforgivable thing? Propaganda is not a uniquely Israeli phenomenon and I would not give an inch to dumb bullies who do everything in their power to harm the Left.
@benzostraydogs The notion that “punching up” is always A-ok is the actual issue plaguing the American Left and cratering its credibility. Check out NYC crime data some time!
@TheSportProhet@TheSportProhet The problem with your argument here is that the “unique and perpetual endangerment” is not merely a framing, it’s a statistical fact. FBI crime data is not a ziOniSt cOnSPiraCy, the enemies of jews have extreme difficulty not assaulting them in the streets.
@BOptimist1973@LTGetsPolitical@elonmusk I don't believe "billionaire zionist sex pests" should be able to restrict speech rights. But I also believe Macklemore is quite obviously a mediocre talent who hijacked Sheeran's tour to paint himself as some moral hero and announce a new tour off the stolen limelight.
@KidNate Asinine smear. I'm not a huge Ariel fan, much more of a @lukethomas guy myself, but the idea that he won't converse with Muslims is just blatantly false. The man quite literally covers a sport dominated by highly devout muslims and has them on his show on a weekly basis.
@LillzTIL@TheErinBrown Totally fair tbh. I’ve been a dumb 14 yr old white kid too, never once came close to dancing cheerfully while dropping the N-word repeatedly. And then the nerve to post it on social media too.
@JedKMeshew Agree completely. Paddy’s more like a natural 165er and even Gaethje was able to dwarf Ilia and weaponize his size advantage to good effect in their fight.
@beccajiggens One neat implication of this style of thinking is that any child murdered in the U.S., Canada, Australia, etc. ought to get like a "lower human value" coefficient attached to their death, provided they're not ethnically indigenous. Alert the courts! 🧐
@estherzelda0514 Yes 1000% as a 29 yr old guy in 2026, dating for your own tastes and not those of your friends, social media algorithms, etc. is a huge indicator of maturity and character. Also frankly I’d advise just unplugging entirely from the porn/sexualized influencer matrix altogether.
@LTGetsPolitical With all due respect (and for you I have a massive amount), you don’t get to ignore this detail of Macklemore’s activism or his 9/11 truther-ism. There is some antisemitism on the left and pretending it doesn’t exist is bad faith. He should be allowed to speak.
@Bushra1Shaikh Literally zero ppl on this Earth consider Sacha Baron Cohen to be some paragon of moral virtue, human rights advocacy, etc. nor should they, his entire career is producing intentionally offensive comedy. Whereas Macklemore now cosplays as a moral philosopher.
