@StillDanLehrer @jasonintrator I still think on how crazily Lord of the Flies things got back in summer. Not every day I watch masses of people spontaneously pile in and call a descendant of Holocaust survivors a Nazi. I suppose if nothing else, it was good for my education to see just how fast that happens ☮️

@George_Friedman Meanwhile, Israel is not militarily weak…

@CaptainDick12 They often also state aloud their desire to essentially be a permanent leader…

Many people won't remember history. If you do you will recall that every dictator slowly gained power by changing laws to protect themselves, reducing opponents opportunities to debate and worst of all replaced transparency with controlled publicity. https://t.co/k9AQRTaCBF

This is what happens when everyone around you is too afraid to say, “Sir, that’s fucking stupid”

Just discovered this commercial from 1994 where Darth Vader, one of the strongest Sith Lords in all of Star Wars, is canonically defeated in a lightsaber duel by the Energizer Bunny.

@bethanyshondark @pypolk That’s impressive! I learned a few years ago that one of my grandmothers had Jewish ancestors and I had no idea… My own relatives! But apparently people nowadays think they can tell just walking around…

Today marks the 37th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, when the Communist regime sent tanks to trample peaceful pro-democracy protesters. Their bravery will not be forgotten, including the man who stopped a column of tanks.

“Since that June day, I have been inspired by one of the most iconic figures of the latter half of the 20th century, even though I have no idea of his name. Like the rest of the world, I just call him Tank Man.” @yangjianli001

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

If Israel would have attacked an international airport injuring 63 people we would have seen global condemnations and many prominent figures shouting “war crimes”.

When Iran does it the respond is “oh well”

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

The House passed a resolution to block President Trump from ordering further strikes on Iran, ratcheting up pressure on the administration to find a way to end the unpopular war. https://t.co/r04QNrmoyf

President Trump is floating the possibility of keeping the UFC arena on the White House South Lawn — built for a series of fights on his birthday and Flag Day — permanently.

@Fighting_LC Sometimes there is a real situation where you get anxiety because in real life there are life threatening situations where in real life your very physiology kicks in to help you flee or fight the situation. Is it these medical goomers belief that this is abnormal?

Thinking about that time when I almost died during surgery due to reaction to anaesthesia, and in the next surgery the anaesthetist wrote me a letter to document the situation due to my “anxieties around anaesthesia”

Sir, I almost died?!

Psychologisation is dangerous

[Neil Rogachevsky @NeilRogachevsky]

This speech is right out of François Mitterand’s playbook. Anti-Semitism is a product of “inter-community tensions” rather than opinions and interests held by some Canadians. Thus, unless Jews do their part in resolving all inter-communal tensions they can be blamed at least in part for any violence they suffer.

[Greg Brady @gregbradyx]

This is getting attention because it’s a superb surgeon. Know who doesn’t get headlines when they pack their families up & get somewhere safer than Toronto, Montreal, or Ottawa?

Teachers.
Lawyers.
Small business owners.
Labourers.
Nurses.

If you know a Canadian Jew in or near a major city, they ain’t just throwing it around - they’ve talked about getting out, keeping their kids safe, or their elderly parents.

I’m embarrassed, thoroughly, by our leaders’ response to this vile incivility from October 8th onward.

People have said “be careful, you might hurt your chances of getting elected if you run again, harder to win, & how many Jewish votes are there in Ajax, anyway?”

THAT’S the difference. I’m not trying to placate ANYONE. I’m just saying what I think is correct. I’m just saying we have leaders who ARE placating people & I don’t know how they sleep at night. I’m going to be genuine & feel good about it.

I might win an election or two soon enough or I might not, but I’d rather be right, & I’d rather sleep at night. I don’t know how some do. But we’ll all sit there in a rocking chair someday & think about what we could have done or said better, & more of - & I’d rather be me than them.

Canada imported a LOT of European immigrants after WWII who had regressive ideas on Jews. But it was made very clear to them that the price of admission to Canada was taking these views to the grave. The modern-day immigrant from the Islamic world, by contrast, encounters whole university departments endorsing every single Jew-hating grievance fantasy they can imagine.

I’m heartbroken to hear that we lost Peabo Bryson today.  His incredible voice and his kind spirit embodied the beauty of song and performance.  He was so wonderful and generous to me all those years ago, when we recorded Beauty and the Beast. He made me so comfortable, as I was just learning to sing in English.  He will remain for me always as a real symbol of the joy that music has brought to my life. His voice and his talent will be missed…

My heart is with your family, and may you rest in peace, Peabo.

Love,

Celine xx…
