@CartoonsHateHer Method acting has gotten a lot of shit for being pretentious and for actors being the worst to work with. I say the man's a craftsman, and not all method actors were monsters. Let him work.

@sfrantzman These attacks always happen on shabbat. They're so nihilist their ideology has no consistency. I read one account where a religious man came as protection, and gave one of these attackers a whole list of what he was doing wrong. Dude answered back he didn't believe in God.

@mycr_karenina This was garden variety assholery when I was at YU in the aughts. They used to talk shit about Meimad too. Someone staged a sign campaign against them when students wanted to organize a club. Fun fact, that someone eventually got booted for starting too many fights for funsies.

@Leonlight97 @JewniorProMax Maybe you could assure me if I walked the streets of Dublin for Bloomsday I'd get nothing dressed as I am. Could you make such a guarantee?

@Leonlight97 @JewniorProMax That's a heady mix, this supposed higher standard and dehumanizing lowest standard. They certainly claim contradictory things. And yet that extreme cognitive dissonance is a familiar one as well.

@Leonlight97 @JewniorProMax And sometimes they say what you say, that there is a higher standard for Israel. And yet there's also dehumanizing rhetoric as well, the kind that claims the entire society is degenerate, irredeemable, to a man and women child killers and rapists.

@Amirmizroch We need to stop doing this. Everyone needs to know that the first 24 hours of a developing story about an attack are notorious for bad information. Playing gotcha like this only compounds the harm done. This is just what happens as a terrorism story is reported in real time.

The word we would use for Ezra Pound's Vorticism would be singularity, and for Pound that singularity was totalitarian.

@jewndahalfmen It's not a victory he can own, but of course it's election catnip for him. As for the results, never sleep on this man. And no one who thought Trump would lose twice should ever assume we know anything certain about election politics in the present day.

Uriel Simon has died, a scholar on Ibn Ezra and religious activist for peace since the seventies. He was friends with my parents, and sometimes came to visit when he was in town researching or lecturing. Now, I have my father's books, very much including this one. ברוך דיין האמת.
