Ironically I saw this ad last night.

I feel like as a 90s kid, someone old enough to remember and understand 9/11, anti-Muslim sentiment has been around a long time. That doesn’t surprise me regarding this.

EDIT: As a Filipino, I grew up hearing a particular flavor of anti-Muslim prejudice. A great grandmother would tell people that [insert censored comment], an outrageously offensive thing that was made up. A aunt would just generalize that certain parts of Philippines were not safe to travel due to Abu Sayyaf, an Islamist terror group.

I am Filipino. A cousin of min, who’s Jewish on his father’s side, decided to have a bat Mitzvah last year. Proud of the kid but I wonder if he has been exposed to actual hate speech behavior that was misdirected at the Jewish people because of the war.

Disliking the actions of the Israeli government is not the same as hating Jewish people. At some point people just started to agree with anything that wasn’t in favor of the Israeli state as being antisemitism. It is alarming how we’ve turned the actual hatred of Jewish people into an issue that isn’t about people actually hating them for their faith practices.

The oppressed have become the oppressors. That is not good.

He only wants something TOS related (since he only watches TOS). But that won’t happen.

Is anyone else not bothered? No one corrected him during the panel. He called Wolf 359 a planet. It’s a red dwarf star. Unless he meant there is a planet nearby. Research says every red dwarf has one planet in a nearby orbit (much farther Earth to Sol).

It’s the combination of red cabbage and baking soda.

The man drinks tea. So… no.

Well I failed. No daily alcohol, rarely play games and my step count is clearly higher.

I had a comment about Calvinball I was going to make… but I can’t recall the topic of the article I read years ago anymore that mentioned it.

🤦‍♂️ Biological sex.

All genders?

These really should be called sex reveals.
