Has been too many things: author, publicist, editor, automotive technician, podficcer, 1/3 of @jewishfangirls.
~Right now this account is basically Star Trek~
@Yair_Rosenberg@zriboua quotes from antisemitic accounts impersonating Jews: "WE ARE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE HURR DURR"
quotes from actual Jews: "ughhhhh why can't god choose someone else for a change"
@TalkinYanks If anyone has floated the remote possibility of giving Bellinger any training at 3B - he has the versatility, the team-first attitude, the arm, the athleticism, the infield experience...start training now and maybe next year you've got a legit 3rd baseman?
@jpodhoretz@Yair_Rosenberg That's an incredibly bad faith reading of this. Only on twitter would we insist that "violent extremist rhetoric is bad & won't solve problems" means "all extremism, whether rhetorical or actual, is exactly the same." Hope everyone took a break from the internet after this convo.
@Jomboy_ too late for this ep and idk if there are tools to filter for this, but who has the best and worst career numbers hitting against position players?
@BriannaWu American veterans can probably tell you how Israeli troops fought alongside them in the War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that failing to do the same against the same ideological enemies is hypocritical cowardice (or in internet speak: "not a good look, bro")
@BriannaWu Trump also does everything he can to try to turn Israel into a partisan wedge issue, which it is not - its support is bipartisan & keeping it bipartisan is the only viable option. Would be a total nightmare for everyone if support flips every time a new party is elected.
@Jomboy_ My working theory is that - given how Rizzo also struggled, first with the concussion, then offensively and defensively, then broke his arm - the Yankees' first base position is cursed. We need to either hunt down whoever cursed it and appease them, or call in an exorcist.
@Yair_Rosenberg The poll he cited doesn't get into how many people believe conspiracy theories about Jews - control the media, good with money, etc - but consider that a good thing and a point in Jews' favor. Donald Trump being a case in point.
