“The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’” - Isaac Asimov

Living in the #pnw means encountering random acts of #antisemitism . The hard left hates us as much as hotheads far right.

Taking #ladindo and #hebrew at the same time may have the best or worst decision in terms of language learning. Any language learning ends up with me speaking a weird combination of #spanish and #modernhebrew . It’s confusing for the dogs, who are trained in English and Hebrew.

I'm going to say this every time I see these girls (THEY ARE GIRLS. HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS) and other similarly genius kids:
Imagine what gatekeeping has lost humanity.
Imagine everything not lost but stolen.

Teens come up with trigonometry proof for Pythagorean Theorem, a problem that stumped math world for centuries - CBS News
A high school teacher didn't expect a solution when she set a 2,000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem problem in front of her students. Then Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson stepped up to the challenge.

One of my favorite ways to celebrate #mothersday do it early. Call every mother or grandmother figure in your life. Every year.

I believe you. I also mentioned in an earlier spout, if TFG is installed, he will expand the courts in his favour. And, the new Authoritative Republic of America is born.
Only a republican congress, traitors & Steven Miller running the show. Arrests left, right and center & US famine. #VoteBlue

Michael Freeman @village_elderMost people seem to be surprised by this. I am not. I have said, on many occasions, that the oligarchs have been planning this coup for 50 years, and are now in the execution phase.05:31 PM - May 08, 2024
All the pieces are in place and they are rounding the home stretch, racing to the finish line.

If you don’t like rain, don’t move to the #pnw . It’s as bigoted a place as I’ve ever lived. Yeah, a tiny bit more religious diversity than the #deepsouth , less racial diversity and exactly the same amount of self-righteous #hypocrisy .

Not being an agent of #gentrification is not that hard. Read a book; or like I did work in real estate. Understand #structuralracism is real. And there is no shame in buying in the burbs. My current neighborhood is more diverse than when bought in and we didn’t have to ruin a community. #pnw

Yeah these are the rotten apples who torpedoed Hillary and got us Trump in 2016. Don't fall for that hype, remember that ALL of the world's rights are gonna be determined this fall on November 5th.

Happy Beltane Day, May 1, to all who celebrate. What is Beltane you ask? It is also known as May Day. It is a day where Pagans around the world celebrate the onset of summer. Festivals recognize the power of life in all its fullness, the greening of the earth, youthfulness & flourishing.

This to the power of uncountable infinity. Just because you’ve heard of a holiday doesn’t mean you remotely understand its significance (or lack there of) to that culture.

Hillary Clinton, former President Obama, & First Lady Michelle Obama warned voters about the Supreme Court being lost for generations.. losing access to abortions, being unable to vote, or marry interracially, & other rollbacks that we are seeing them give to religious nuts

I’m trying really to write intelligently about #antisemitism . It’s hard because it’s both a conspiracy theory and one of the most acceptable forms of bigotry in lefty circles. And no, I don’t mean *informed* critique of the Israeli govt. Unfortunately information and nuance aren’t cool.

Chag Pesach Sameach. 💙💙💙. Unfortunately plagues of injustice still blight the land, thus “ it is not your duty to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.” - Rabbi Tarfon. He lived ~46 CE - 117 CE and his words are true today as they were then. #pesach

Both articles of impeachment were dismissed. Whoopsie doodle.
04:35 PM - Apr 17, 2024
Yes, and don't forget it was the GOP who killed the immigration deal that Senator Lankford helped to craft with the Dems, and Biden said he would sign it. This impeachment attempt actually a failure of the entirety of the GOP.

Yes, this is all truth. Remember, the GOP/MAGA fucks killed the border bill that Biden would have signed.

My Flying Car 2020 @Flying2020Out here wasting all this time worrying about impeaching Mayorkas to support their Mad Max beyond Thunderdome border lies for the orange fascist. Whole time they coulda been using that very energy actually improving the border situation, and/or ANYTHING AT ALL for the US. Do-nothing ass bums. 🙄05:22 PM - Apr 17, 2024

After being pestered to watch #tedlasso finally did. My big takeaway, I have my first TV crush - Roy Kent. It’s lovely to see Jewish actor play an athlete with a complicated emotional history. No neurotic Allen-esque nonsense. Thank you Brett Goldstein for breaking type. 💙💙💙
