If only it were so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.

Antisemitismo es justamente estar dispuesto a creer cualquier atrocidad que se diga sobre el gobierno israelí, luego adjudicárselo a todos los israelíes, y finalmente adjudicárselo a todos los judíos del mundo, o incluso a todos los que los defienden.

[Chris Williamson @ChrisWillx]

Women set the standards for sex, men meet them.

If in order to obtain sex, men must marry a women, or become pillars of the community, or lie, or amass riches, or be romantic or funny, then they will do precisely that.

If men need to simply be in the right place at the right time at 3am in a nightclub, then they will meet these standards appropriately.

“Racism is not dead, but it is on life support — kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as ‘racists.’”

No es la desnudez, es la belleza de Sydney Sweeney lo que les molesta. Eso es todo.

[Harry One @HarryOneNine]

People hate Sweeney in these adverts because she’s white, pretty, and votes conservative, that’s all it is - pure spite and hypocrisy.

There are few phrases in international affairs repeated with greater confidence or subjected to less scrutiny than 'illegal Israeli settlements'.

The trouble is not just that this is political rhetoric masquerading as law, but that it is in fact contrary to real international law, properly applied.

I don’t understand. For decades, feminists have argued that women have full control over their minds and that even pointing out mood changes during a cycle is just male misogyny.

Now, that entire argument is getting thrown out the window because the Lindsay Clancy defense is literally claiming in open court that hormones can turn someone into a deranged psychopath capable of child murder. It’s wild to watch that narrative completely flip.

A not-guilty finding based on hormones and insanity would have crazy implications. For example, if hormonal states can legally erase accountability, why wouldn’t they also affect fitness for jobs, high-pressure decisions, firearms, and parenting?

Courts cannot treat a woman as legally insane for the worst possible act and then pretend the same reasoning has no implications anywhere else.

Also, Lindsay Clancy is no more insane than Jeffrey Dahmer, who was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, and a psychotic disorder, and yet, he was still declared legally sane at trial. For the sake of those children, and for the sake of all the good that’s in this world, I hope the jury makes the only sensible decision here

@malamadremx Si de verdad tienes una duda genuina de que pasa por la mente de quien apoya a Israel y no es solo una postura de superioridad moral, creo que lo entenderías si te das la oportunidad de leer el libro ISRAEL DE DANIEL GORDIS, me queda claro que tu problema es ignorancia.

[Casey Babb @DrCaseyBabb]

Dear @MarkRuffalo,

You’re right. You’re right that criticism of an Israeli government, or of an Israeli politician, or contract, or company, isn’t antisemitic. Suggesting otherwise would be, as you stated, “dishonest.” But Mark, this isn’t what you’ve done. And it’s not just about what you’ve said recently (though I’ll get to that) — it’s what you’ve been saying and doing for nearly three years.

When you zoom out and look at the totality of your actions and words, you don’t come off as someone simply critiquing a policy, government, or company. You come off as someone who — despite being clearly “progressive” — has very ignorantly and inconsiderately thrown your support behind one group of people over another.

If I’m to be completely honest, it’s repeatedly felt like you’ve sided with those who murdered and raped— instead of those who were raped and murdered.

For instance, six months before their release, as innocent Jews were being starved, tortured, and sexually assaulted in the tunnels of Gaza by genocidal terrorists, you took to one of your many red carpets, wearing a pin, calling for Israel to presumably let up — to stop fighting for their people. Why have you not worn a similar pin, calling for Ukraine to give up in their fight against Russia? It felt wrong then, and it feels wrong now.

You’ve repeatedly indulged the genocide libel to your millions of social media followers. In May — just six months following the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, you wrote that “More than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in the past six months. Stop sending arms to Israel or risk complicity in committing war crimes and genocide!” In fact, six months BEFORE October 7, you were accusing Israel of conspiring to commit genocide, and you haven’t stopped. Last March, you wrote, “We have seen Netanyahu gleefully carry out a genocide in Gaza reducing it to a nuclear bomb site.” Again, no mention of what led to the war. Just lies upon lies upon lies. And these aren’t just lies — they’re lies that will get Jews in the diaspora killed.

More recently, you’ve taken to social media to accuse Jews — Safra Catz, Larry Ellison, and his son — of not only helping carry out a genocide, but in actually enjoying it. You could have opposed the merger of Paramount with Warner Bros. Discovery in any number of ways. I can think of half a dozen right now. But that’s not what you did. Rather, you invoked dangerous antisemitic conspiracies around Jewish power, manipulation, and malevolence — at a time when Jews have never in their lives felt so isolated and under siege.

And then came your response. No apology, no reflection, no useful clarification. “The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.” Sorry, what? Do the decisions of companies and universities effectively owned and operated by countries like China and Qatar need to be explained to the public, or in your view, is that requirement just reserved for the Jews?

Instead of demonstrating that you understand the concern and outrage, you’ve demonstrated that you don’t. You seem far more interested in proving that you cannot be antisemitic than in examining whether some of your arguments might be. This stance you’ve taken isn’t the progressive flex you think it is. It’s intellectually lazy, it’s divisive, and frankly, I’ve found much of what you’ve said and done to be morally repugnant.

But it’s not too late. You can change. You can turn this around. And yes — you can do better. You must.

[Quillette @Quillette]

Abhishek Saha put it to Nathan Cofnas directly: is he on the autism spectrum?

Saha wrote in Quillette in 2025:

"Some people I spoke to suggested that part of Cofnas’s trouble is social: he lacks the instincts to judge what he should or shouldn’t say, and may be on the autism spectrum. When I put this to him, he agreed that his social intelligence is below average—“When I was a kid, I couldn’t follow rules. I had no idea what people wanted me to do, and I was constantly in trouble”—but he does not think he is autistic. He understands why his work is controversial, but maintains that the hereditarian taboo must be faced. As Sir Simon Baron-Cohen has written in his book The Pattern Seekers, autistic people—and those who share their systemising traits—have often been quiet architects of human progress, from the first stone tools to today’s code, sometimes at great personal cost."

@jk_rowling @ExInspectorBDS You are confusing his views with Harvard’s hard data, and in doing so, you are doing to him, what it was done to you. Such a shame that you can’t even notice that.
