Hoo boy, downbad loser king Heo Namjun extra compelling this morning, I see

kdrama actor Heo Namjun on the cover of Esquire Korea. He’s standing at a kitchen counter covered in plastic tarp with some kind of fancy kettle next to an open flame. He’s looking straight at the camera with a very straight back and some kind of futuristic athleisure jacket and a white mock turtleneck. The whole shot is very dark and most, and idk gang, it’s really doing it for me.

Do we think if I ✨monetized some social media✨, Gingko could pay her monthly $50 pet fee to the HOA? There’s a gap in the market for bluetick coonhound content, and she is literally a cartoon. (📸: @louisehung1.bsky.social!)

All this for a person who can't say whether it's hateful to set Jews on fire? forward.com/news/834485/...

In a conversation about reactions to Melat Kiros' win in the Colorado Democratic primary, Jamelle Bouie writes, "the use of “performative” as an insult here is why these people are losing their primaries. yes, voters want you to perform their anger and disgust! they want representatives to represent their symbolic interests! the idea that good representation is necessarily quiet and unobtrusive is wrong!"

Soliman left behind writings in which he declared that “Zionism is our enemies until Jerusalem is liberated and they are expelled from our land,” and further described Israel as a “cancer entity,” according to law enforcement.

He injured 13 people in the ambush, including an 82-year-old woman who later died of her wounds.

“I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,” Kiros said. “All I know is that he attacked innocent people because of what they might have believed. And I don’t even know what the people that were at that protest believed, too. In fact most of them were probably just there to ask that the people who were kidnapped on Oct. 7 be returned to their families.”

Asked to confirm that she thought the attack was not antisemitic, Kiros said, “I don’t know. I don’t know what his intentions were.”

In a statement to the Forward, DeGette said, “It’s never okay to rationalize antisemitism or excuse an act of terrorism. Those aren’t Denver values and we deserve better.”

The Kiros campaign did not respond to an inquiry.

Like, no notes.

On the one hand, I think Emmett does a great job here of making a critique of … everything?

On the other, I cant ever read his essays without remembering the time he voluntarily argued for the concept of enslavement in our undergrad Political Philosophy class. (melanatedmagus)

Lamentations 3 details the physical, mental and spiritual effects of God’s wrath on those who stray from him.

Ziegler also criticized placing Lamentations 3 alongside Holocaust literature, like Elie Wiesel’s “Night,” in the curriculum.

“Lamentations understands the destruction of the ancient temple in Jerusalem as God’s punishment for the Israelites’ sins,” he said. “When it’s taught alongside Holocaust literature — suggesting that was similarly a divine punishment for Jews — that is an unacceptable implication that invites antisemitism and hurts Jews across the state.”

Segal agreed. “Of course, [the translation] is outdated, but worse, you’ve anchored it to Holocaust literature, which invites eighth graders to consider whether the Holocaust was God’s punishment for the Jews,” he told the board.

okay, an important question for this Friday night — which outdoor back patio rug do we like better? They are "made from recycled plastic," which could mean anything, but they are more affordable than most of what's out there.

A geometric but more elaborate pink, green and blue-gray rug.

lol hoo boy, Joyce

From the twitter of literary luminary and bodyslamming shitposter Joyce Carol Oates: not sure if anyone is at Bluesky. when I visit the site all is calm, unchanging; I have not had a single new follower in many months; exchanges are always interesting & intelligent but relatively few. Bluesky exudes the air of an upscale mall, beautifully maintained, hushed.
one will likely not be mobbed or mugged here but one will likely not feel a quickening of the heart, a jab of adrenaline. Twitter may be a "cesspool"-- at least in some quarters--but I think of it as lively like the old Madison Square Garden: raucous, unpredictable, obnoxious, good fun, surprises.
