Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3d agoIt's so weird that Dolly Parton used her money to help ordinary people in a thousand different meaningful ways *and* lived an incredibly happy fulfilled life, almost like there's some sort of connection between the two. Anyway, let me read about another AI CEO poisoning a town for shits and giggles

I just don't have words to express how horrifying this is. How any of my fellow Jews can continue to deny what's happening in Gaza and the West Bank is beyond me. How can they perpetrate the same horrors on others that were done to us?!

Wintersong@wintersong.bsky.social · 2w agoPlenty of non-Christian faiths, & even some Christian sects, don't hold with that belief. I'd have liked to see John Oliver address that. @theradr.bsky.social for instance has written and spoken quite often about the fact that "life beginning at conception" is in simply NOT what Judaic law teaches.
