  1. David #Frum from #Atlantic magazine ín a preview of his article in the May 2025 issue:

    '#Trump ’s tariffs could cause stagflation for the first time in decades. It may go on for a long, long time.'

    'Trump’s tariffs will not induce much factory-building. Who’d invest in a factory unless assured that foreign competition would be excluded for a long time, if not forever? Trump’s #tariffs are here today, gone tomorrow.'

  2. "The problem is that Israel has a large secular population that is unfortunately outweighed by religious fanatics on both sides"

    This is an egregious lie! The largest dissident population in #Israel is, by far, #frum ("ultra-orthodox") Jews, who are regularly trampled and beaten by IDF in al-Quds/Jerusalem for protesting with their Palestinian comrades. The largest frum dynasty in the US (and perhaps the world), Satmar, is extremely anti-Zionist. Even the most complicit frum dynasties like #Chabad-Lubavitch (which is absolutely complicit in Zionism & whose corrupt false messiah Rebbe Schneerson claimed that G-d would hand Netanyahu the scepter to inaugurate the messianic age) officially recognize that Zionism is forbidden by #Torah.

    #Jews are not a nation, but a religion. Even the narrative of #EretzIsrael ("The Land of Israel") is a Zionist fabrication (see: Shlomo Sand "The Invention of the Land of Israel & The Invention of the Jewish People); it is the Holy Land, not our homeland. The Hebrew word in Torah for nation is "goyim". None of this was controversial before 1948.

    Religious Zionists like Ben-Gvir are as religious as Donald Trump, and most of their distinguishing narratives — such as Jews being "G-d's chosen people" or a Jewish duty to build the Third Temple — are derived from evangelical Christianity, not Judaism (see: Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro's definitive "The Empty Wagon", which demonstrates that Religious Zionists have more in common with Jews for Jesus than Judaism).

    Religious Zionism, while finding a timid quasi-justification in the works of the widely belaugured Rav Kook, emerged as a reaction to the liberal anti-Zionism of the likes of Martin Buber that was growing in popularity and international influence in the 60s, when secular ultranationalists of predominantly Irgun & Lehi lineage found justification for their #fascist politics in the works of #JDL founder Meir Kahane, an undercover FBI agent from New York City.

    Zionism is a political ideology that promotes sinat chinam (baseless hatred), achieves its goals through shfichus damim (bloodshed) and is a explicit affront to the Three Oaths to which #Jews are bound. Its a secular movement grounded in liberal theories of the nationhood (goyim) and a hatred of yiddishkeit (even banning Yiddish in "Israel"'s early years). Judaism is an exhilic religion that prohibits hatred and demands peace.

    Conflating Judaism and Zionism is #antisemitism — dont do it!

  3. in search of a Ruby version manager
    I’ve tried just about every one except #chuby. I used #RVM, then #rbenv, then switched to #asdf and used that for 2+ years, but I could never remember the commands I needed.

    Recently switched to #frum, but that doesn’t seem to be well maintained and I’ve yet to be able to get a proper shebang working for CLI scripts that specifies the desired ruby version.

    I'd appreciate recommendations or links to good articles as well as boosts to the Ruby community.

  8. The problem with the #frum community here is that it's too _respectable._ Where are the small time machers looking for a little parnosaa at the coffee shop? Where's the dive where you can get a schnepsl with a kosher slice at 2am?

  9. It's really wild that I'm presenting a paper on this topic on Monday. Wish I could go tell 12th grade me how 35-year-old me would use her high school materials and experiences.

  14. One of the biggest differences between being #frum (#haredi #Jewish) vs #OTD is the amount of clothing items and therefore the amount of time spent getting dressed/undressed.

    To wit - as a frum girl, getting dressed in the morning required:
    - underwear
    - bra
    - shell
    - top
    - tights
    - skirt
    - shoes

    vs now as a secular nonbinary person:
    - underwear
    - pants
    - top
    -shoes

    It used to be like "put on the foundation, then the clothes." Now it's "throw on some clothes, out I go."
