Agatha really learned the correct lesson from Ryan Murphy’s shows: at the end of the day all people really want is to watch actresses wear fun costumes and make big acting choices

“If you didn’t listen to what either candidate said and just paid attention to which one was taller, Trump might have won the debate!”

ok this quote from Nate Silver is killing me

"And the stature gap in terms of physical size was also notable, especially with Harris having a shorter podium. Sometimes you'll hear people say that you should watch the debate with the sound off, and by that measure it was much closer than with the sound on"

Relistening to the amazing Juggernaut episode of Cerebro and I think @meakoopa.bsky.social just stated EXACTLY why Victor von Doom is compelling to me: “The character I would most like to write is Dr Doom, because I know what it’s like to have your PhD make you insane.”

idk if it’s just a naive belief that they’re a small enough minority that they can just be ignored or what but it’s truly weird to see that logo out in public being worn by people

Sadly…you’d be surprised. There’s a shockingly vocal minority in Toronto and pro-JDL sentiments pop up unexpectedly in random Facebook groups. I even saw people in JDL shirts when I went to vigils after the Tree of Life shooting & people…seemingly do not think it’s worth causing a scene about.

4/ The term "outside agitator" (read: Jew) is based on the premise that Black people are stupid and happy; children basically, and stay that way until sinister Jews come along and rile them up. It insults both peoples (yes, these are intersecting sets), and gives an excuse for why anyone is unhappy.

3/ To a white supremacist, a Jew is a white person who jeopardizes the structure of white supremacy, who casts their lot with marginalized people in order to make the world the white supremacists want unstable and tenuous, often by underhanded and sneaky methods. Much subterfuge.

2/ When African Americans in the rural South stood up for their rights, the white establishment claimed that Black people were happy with their lot, and weren't smart enough to organize on their own, and therefore Jews must be stirring them up, giving them rebellious ideas.
