as i keep saying we use "bad boyars" as shorthand for trumpers blaming other people and the actual czarist thing you do when you run out of bad boyars is to blame the jews
By 2028, the entire country is going to broadly regard Trump as a failure, which means the nationalist right is going to need to find a villain who betrayed Trumpism. And it is going to be very convenient to blame it on Israel for supposedly forcing Trump into the Iran War.
Vance clearly laying the groundwork for "the Jews made me do it"

The response to this shouldn't be that "Israel tricked Trump into going to war in Iran" is too anti-Israel in ways that flirt with antisemitic tropes, even if true. It's that this framing is insufficiently anti-US. It maintains US innocence, in a way that feeds the Tucker Carlson anti-Israel right.
Are you trying to absolve Israel of its actions? These are verifiable facts - not opinions. Our relationship with Israel has caused harm. Their crimes do not deserve justification by conflating racism with criticism.

While protestors announced that the theme for tomorrow's protests in France will be Halloween, the minister of the interior has now announced that anyone wearing a Halloween mask could face up to one year imprisonment. Insanity

Mobilisations du 31 octobre : le port d’un masque d’Halloween dans les manifestations fait encourir « une peine d’emprisonnement d’un an », menace Laurent Nuñez
Concrètement, le port du masque reste autorisé dans ce cadre festif, à condition de ne pas s’approcher d’une manifestation ou d’une scène de violences. Les autorités redoutent que les masques de déguisements soient utilisés par des manifestants violents pour se dissimuler le visage lors de la journée de mobilisation sociale.

Many years ago, I met Patrick Stewart. He’d read a piece I’d written about my difficult relationship with my dad. I was supposed to interview him about the film he’d just made but he didn’t care about that. He’d had a hard time with his dad too and the pair of us just talked about fathers and sons

I was never into their music that much but of all the bands i worked with as musicvenue security they were easily in the top 5 of just really nice honest & decent people to work with. They should be a shining example for most artists.

A minced oath is a polite swap for a swear or a blasphemy (like “gosh” for “God”) and the best one I’ve come across is from Palestinian Arabic, where yifḍaḥ ḥarīmak (“may your womenfolk be dishonoured”) becomes yifḍaḥ ḥarīšak (“may your caterpillar be dishonoured”).
