At the eye doctor today, there were *two whole* receptionists masked instead of the usual one. The guy who did my scans was also masked.
My doctor had a fellow, who saw my mask and asked did I want her to go grab one. I expressed my gratitude and relief, even threw in a line about how most people don't even bother asking. The doctor, who usually does not wear one, then came in wearing a mask.
Things must be *really* bad out there if folks are actually reading the fucking room.

“Brian Beneker, a script coordinator for SEAL Team, alleges in a lawsuit filed in California federal court on Wednesday that he was repeatedly denied a staff writer job after the implementation of an ‘illegal policy of race and sex balancing’ that promoted the hiring of ‘less qualified applicants who were members of more preferred groups,’ namely those who identify as minorities, LGBTQ or women…”

As a surprise to no one, my corny AF local news is showing clips from a Trump rally and only saying "claims without evidence" (instead of, you know, *lies*) *after* letting his clips run.
They are also interviewing people who say it's "not going to be just" if he's convicted.

Who wants to tell them about basically the entire history of Jews in Europe, especially the period between 1933 and 1945.

Lady who keeps talking about "pandemic is over” and who can't even mask around me when I am clearly wearing one…told me today about in-laws visiting. One is going through cancer treatment and needed bloodwork.
I guaran-fucking-tee you, no masks were involved. No precautions ahead of these people coming to visit either. None.

No, there is no Jewish conspiracy in media toward “Jewish exceptionalist victimization.” That is some nazi shit.
Not a single Jew I know is like, “yeah, man. We love to be victims.” There’s no need to make shit up when you’ve been kicked out of damned near everywhere, at one point or another, either.

I'm not sharing them here, but there are some very hateful and ugly antisemitic messages floating around at Cornell. Make no mistake: I don't care how many times I speak out against the collective punishment and disproportionate response in Gaza — the type of outright hateful filth, directly and explicitly calling for violence against Jews, is to be condemned and has no place in any movement for peace.

@npub1gmx…atcq I did a whole thing a few years back, prompted by the season 11 "reveal" that that whole encounter was even worse than thought, about the *many* times that character was violated. Editor had me change "violation" to "subjugation" in the title for reasons I don't recall but accepted as reasonable at the time, but…As much as I love the show, its obsession with medically violating women is really difficult to reconcile with all the good parts.
