Seinfeld is successful enough to be untouchable so he doesn’t have to play the stupid “Free Palestine” game other people in Hollywood think they have to and I love that for him.

Maybe if the guy is gonna claim he’s not part of a terrorist organization, the terrorist organization should wait a few days before being like, “yeah he’s ours.”

We need a 2026 FIFA Boston Accent Summit hosted by @emilysweeney interviewing Scottish fans outside Faneuil Hall.
We get @BBCScotlandNews & @BostonGlobe to livestream it and listen to the Tartan Army try to understand Emily's accent and see if Emily can transcribe their answers.

The story here is not Jerry Seinfeld or what he said about Palestine.

The story here is that for 3 years Jews are being hounded by pro Palesitinian maniacs who go around with their phones harassing Jews for content on TikTok.

It's official... This morning New York City officially and permanently co-named West 8th Street as Jimi Hendrix Way. 💜 The new street sign unveiled today at the corner of 6th Avenue and West 8th Street is just down the street from Jimi Hendrix's landmark Electric Lady Studios in the heart of Greenwich Village. Stay Experienced!

We do women a disservice by teaching them DV is “being hit.” I, and other women I know, tolerated terrible relationships because we thought if they weren’t hitting you, it was ok.

Being forcibly blocked from leaving a room is an early warning sign. Same with being physically restrained: pushed against a wall or a bed or a couch. Same with incredibly coercive sexual pressure—not being able to take no for an answer.

These men push you till you break (sometimes in public) and then convince you and people around you that you’re “crazy” and they’re just doing their best.

Even afterwards you spend years saying it wasn’t “real” abuse, he wasn’t “really” physical. And trying desperately to prove you weren’t crazy and you didn’t deserve it.

We need to teach DV differently.

(And yes, men can experance abuse in relationships, but the size and strength differential between men and women is critical here.)

I’m actually kind of enjoying this era where we just find out everyone who lectured us about how terrible we all were for years turn out to be completely full of shit

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

...Various Democratic leaders now maintain that Platner may be a rape-mocking, sex-texting, Hamas-praising, Nazi-tattooed, veteran-abusing, self-proclaimed communist. However, he will return them to power. And so, Me Too becomes Meh when Maine is at stake.

This week I've heard from dozens of women who have been victims of domestic violence.

Many have remarked not just how much they relate to my story overall but how they, too, once qualified their abuse in the same way I did in my interview with the Times: Clarifying that Graham didn't break my arm, didn't ever punch or slap me.

I didn't realize that was what I was doing—I just didn't want to exaggerate. If anything I wanted to downplay his violence and the deep, lasting impact it has had on my life.

I also have felt I need to be clear that I was never, ever antagonistic, never picked a fight, and took great pains to try to keep him from becoming enraged.

My friends have pointed out that that's not normal. I shouldn't feel the need to insist to the public that I didn't do anything to deserve or provoke physical intimidation, control, or abuse. No one does.

I forgave Graham years ago and was glad to see that he had gotten sober and seemingly had gotten help for his mental health issues—I sincerely wished him well but when I realized I was not the only woman he had done this to, that he has a lifelong pattern of deep contempt for women, I realized he had suckered me once again.

And instead of support for coming forward, Jenny and I have been met with horrific smears, told it was “karma,” or that it wasn’t “that bad.”

So... yeah, that is actually pretty classic.

Yesterday I volunteered at the elections in Las Vegas. I checked in voters. I smiled. I did my job.

Then a woman walked in wearing a white shawl draped over her shoulders — red and green stripes, very deliberate, very visible. Gaza colors. Hamas colors. And I had to check her in, smile, and send her off to vote.

I was born in Israel. I came to this country in 1985 at 15 years old with nothing but hope for a better life. I love America. That's why I was standing there volunteering my time — because I believe in this country.

But here's what that woman didn't know.

My family doesn't just live in Israel — they are woven into its very existence. My father was born there in 1940. My mother in 1944. They were born under British rule, before the State of Israel even existed. They lived through its founding. They built their lives there. My aunts and uncles did the same.

I have 13 cousins, most married, all with children of their own. My brother is there. His son. His wife.

In Israel, military service isn't a choice. Every man and every woman enters the IDF at 18. My parents' generation served. My aunts and uncles served. Every single one of my cousins has served. Some are active right now. Some are in the reserves, one phone call away from being deployed.

So when she walked in wearing those colors, she wasn't just making a fashion statement. To me, that scarf represents rockets, tunnels, and massacres. It represents October 7th. It represents people who want my entire family wiped off the map.

I couldn't say a word. I was on duty. So I just watched.

And then I come home and find out a man with a Nazi tattoo just won an election somewhere in the USA.

I still believe in democracy/people. I do. But today it cost me something to stand there in silence while my heart was 7,000 miles away.

I just needed to say that out loud.

8 anti-Israel activists have been charged for allegedly conspiring to intimidate UMich leaders and others by vandalizing their homes and offices.

“They also discussed methods by which to harm the targets and their families, including poison, bombs, and psychological torture.”

[John Podhoretz @jpodhoretz]

Sure, Longwell. Well, I'm not a "Republican," so I claim moral authority here, and your apologia for a left-wing Nazi-adjacent neo-Communist is shameful. You're aiding and abetting American destruction as surely as those you criticize. Pot, black, kettle.
