Hey maybe not, they might get murdered by Venezuela!

Can't wait for the most insufferable HOF discourse since Jack Morris in a couple years

Not really, Americans don't really care about the WBC the same way

If he didn't think attacking a synagogue would get him killed or at best thrown in prison for life, he was *extremely* stupid

"Toucher" feels most correct

This kind of work sometimes gets a reputation of being immaterial trite (and if it weren't paired with her strong opposition to Israeli atrocities you could make that critique) but it really is important to reinforce shared humanity and that oppression, not specific peoples, are the enemy!

Love too be in a situation where society can only comprehend us through either antisemitism or philosemitism!

I was at the dentist shortly after the relevant Fullcast episode when they started playing Sister Christian and I had to put in a lot of effort to keep myself from laughing.

Yeah, like Israel's current actions certainly don't help matters, but the increase in antisemitism was happening long before October 7 (the Tree of Life shooting was notably not about Israel!) and antisemites are ultimately responsible for their own actions

Honestly at this point it's probably logistically impossible to switch hosts and still hold the event on time

OTOH our tradition is to have an extremely uninspiring but narrow win in an 8/9 or 7/10 game before an uncompetitive 2nd-round loss so there's hope!

To put it in context, Steph Curry (6'2) is as tall as Cristiano Ronaldo and only an inch shorter than Julio Jones. He is in the 98th percentile for height among American men.

Seeing basketball in person really immediately proves otherwise, everyone on the court is both a literal giant and the fastest people you've ever seen

I mean I think he's definitely the latter, but also clearly has pretty significant subconscious levels of antisemitism

In fairness the whole point of the scene is that he's not exactly in the most rational place at that moment

my favorite example of this as an Iowa football fan was going straight from watching Iowa/Wisconsin to watching LSU (the title year)/Alabama in 2019, it was like hitting a "2x speed" button.

also "A Friend of Dorothy" or "Two People Exchanging Saliva" if either of them wins Live Action Short
And we're also likely to hear him say "KPop Demon Hunters" multiple times

(his past antifascist credentials are probably not unrelated to why he's stuck in Casablanca and not still in Paris or back in the US!)

One under-appreciated part of this is that Rick used to be a revolutionary too, he smuggled weapons to Ethiopia and fought in Spain against Franco (as Renault points out). Laszlo *re*invigorated his will to fight against fascism rather than wallow in despairing cynicism.

FWIW Mexico could actually knock Italy out with enough runs too

In fairness, the divide here is "have fascist dictatorship in recent memory" vs. "didn't have fascist dictatorship in recent memory," so the proverbial Spongebobs and Patricks here had to learn the hard way.

Thanks for correcting it! For the record, I support Biss but would also be perfectly fine (no pun intended) with Kat winning.

It's the stupid TrackAIPAC graphic that lumps donations from groups like J Street that are anti-occupation but not anti-Zionist with groups like AIPAC together.

11.03.2026 00:08 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

AIPAC is spending huge amounts of money against Biss (and Kat), they're for fine! You're confusing J Street for AIPAC
