It is impossible not to notice the rise in casual antisemitism online and in person. If you don’t see it, you’re lying to yourself.
It's not hard. Both Yglesias moderates and Khanna leftists give MAGA politicians legitimacy because they want MAGA's base. Ossoff simply does not give a shit about the MAGA base, which allows him to speak with fierce clarity about MAGA politicians. He is willing to bet on an anti-MAGA majority.

I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

Good employers think in terms of "If I worked here, what would I want?" Forcing employees to stand rather than sit in chairs is basically the polar opposite of this approach and indicative of an employer who should be treated with contempt.
Michelle Miller@michelleimiller.bsky.social · last wk.The Chair Fight is common in retail and comes down to control. My first thought that it’s particularly discriminatory to pregnant women. The second is the extremely fuzzy definition of “fitness standards” and how those are measured.
Big L for Worcester. As someone who is not generally library-oriented, I am amazed at all the WPL team under his leadership has done to raise the profile of this institution.
Matthew Noe@noethematt.bsky.social · last wk.Looks like the news is out - WPL Executive Director Jason Homer is leaving in November to become Baltimore's next Director. I am so happy for Jason and so incredibly sad for Worcester! www.telegram.com/story/news/l... www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

Think for a second about how utterly brainwashed you need to be to hear this story and not instantly clock that the parents’ version of the story was bullshit.
Andrew Quemere@andrewqmr.bsky.social · 3w agoA couple went on a Fox News podcast and claimed the state of #Massachusetts took away their teen because they won't help the teen transition. But it's actually because the father was charged with beating and threatening to kill the teen and the mother was charged with witness intimidation.
