Here's the hitch-
Love never dies but people do.
That asymmetry is where heartbreak comes from.

Thomas Perry
August 7, 1947-September 15, 2025
There aren't many Holocaust survivors left. They shouldn't have been or be trotted out for gutter antisemites like John Galliano to use as props during their fake redemption programs.
Whom will they use next? October 7th survivors?

To repurpose a phrase from the great @DaraHorn, people, especially men, love dead women. The relentless exploitation of this 22 year old should end now. And no, "a city that forgets its murder victims is lost," is just not true. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/a...

"Israel’s alleged occupation of Judea and Samaria and Gaza grabs the headlines but is nothing compared to its biggest occupation, which is that of the Western mind."

The Israeli Occupation That Must End
Israel disrupts a long-established moral image of the Jew. For many Western observers, this is aesthetically offensive.

It should be clear by now that explaining who Jews are or the Holocaust doesn't neutralize Jew-hatred at all. The source is the blood libel deeply embedded in the general unconsciousness and informing the world-view west & east

There is no "hereness" when you are rotting in a forest pit or become ash and the only solidarity is the solidarity of the murdered.

The worst part of this Piker wet dream is many antiquities and artworks held by museums were stolen from nations and/or private citizens who've spent years trying to get them back.
This is an incoherent vision of politics and political economy, the Louvre is a public institution, you are literally stealing from The People
This cannot be real and yet

The the smooth boyish future-gazing visage of Platner vs. the unflattering, unsmiling, emphasis-on-the-wrinkles and tired, baggy bitch-eyes of Mills is how NYTimes outs its sexism/ageism and is typical of the agist/misogyny fueling Platner's run.
