My opponent's school curriculum teaches students that dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time, and that slave owners treated their slaves well. Illinois needs a governor who lives in reality.

Can some Christian tell me: Except for Santa in the first book, was there incredibly hamfisted Christianity before The Last Battle and the murder of Aslan? (Going from a 3/5 Christianity in the first book to an 11/5 in the last one.

And the religious stuff was sooooo hamfisted. I think a big part of Narnia’s appeal was that it was permitted fantasy during the satanic panic. Too bad for those kids, I had a lot more fun with Prydain.

OTD 2016: The Good Place 1.01 – Everything Is Fine Brilliant series, terrific cast, great concept, packed with ideas and even a funny comedy show. Just a little on the nose to open this in 2016. Or just to watch it in any time to date, increasingly. [Also: ten years?! What the fork?]

The Good Place Season One poster – Michael (Ted Danson) and Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell)sitting next to each other on a sofa, everything in yellow and blue, “Welcome to The Good Place. Everything Is Fine” with “WHAT THE FORK?” slapped across itThe Good Place poster – Michael (Ted Danson), Chidi Anagonye (William Jackson Harper) and Tahani Al-Jamil (Jameela Jamil) sitting on a sofa together in a very nice street, Jianyu Li (Manny Jacinto), Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) and Janet (D’Arcy Carden) behind them

Adding to the staircase of art: the @naidocweek 2020 poster that I saw in Adelaide when I was there last month. Purchased one of the books that was on display there, but I needed that beautiful poster for my wall as well. NAIDOC is an aboriginal rights organization in Australia.

The answer is Regulation 119, Defense (Emergency) Regulations (1945) “Forfeiture and demolition of property, etc.”, enacted by the Government of Palestine, Sir John Valentine Wistar Shaw on behalf of the High Commissioner of Palestine. Main target: Jewish insurgency groups (Irgun, Stern Gang etc).

"demanded that the homes of the Film-makers' families be demolished" gee I wonder where they got that particular idea for collective punishment from

It never ceases to amaze Americans, who are used to a very specific set of correlations between race and politics, that Israel’s “white” Ashkenazis are as a population far less right-wing than its “brown” Mizrahis.

One of the reasons why many MENA Israelis, who comprise over half of its population, are so resentful of Palestinians is because the Muslim world has done even less to repair relations with Jews than Europe has.

New Yorkers, join us at 12 PM on Thurs, Sept 24, at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, to protest Netanyahu's UN visit. We call for an immediate, permanent end to the war, accountability for those responsible for war crimes, and a future of justice and peace for Israelis and Palestinians.
