On the one hand, gentiles should be more educated about Judaism. On the other hand, they always seem to find a way to twist things around and use their knowledge for ill.

the general Jewish view of Jesus Christ is that he's one of a number of so-called messianic figures in roman-occuped Judea. one of the most prolific, sure, and a great teacher of Jewish thought, but there's nothing essentially new in his ministry or his thought that can't be traced to Jews before him.

the general Jewish view of St. Paul is that he's a sonuvabitch who can go to hell, which we don't have, but we might be able to make an exception in his case. he's the reason christianity is Like That.

TIL of the "Secret Information Concerning Black American Troops", a secret First World War memo from the Americans to the French, where the American government, freaked out that the French were being nice to Black soldiers, demanded the French recreate Jim Crow.

Star wars theory 

Anakin's body was almost completely destroyed by lava. As an emergency measure, they took his brain and put it in another body -- a very pale, hairless one, undamaged by lava. But things didn't work out right re: the transplant, so they had to give him a whole life support suit.

Star wars theory 

Chewbacca is just a normal-looking human type guy. However, his species wears elaborate space suits that make them look 7 feet tall, and hairy. They also have respirators like Darth Vader to allow them to speak through their helmets. That's why they sound a little hoarse.

Star wars theory 

Light sabers are...a glamour, basically. Force users just trick people into believing they are real. Laser swords, plasma...no. It's all merely people being convinced that they're seeing and hearing and feeling something that isn't there, while some schmuck in a robe waves a metal handle around.

horrible "celebrity" transphobe and instance block recommendation 

yeah, so, Gammon Linespam (glinner) has his own masto instance, much like gab did, called glindr.org

So yeah, fuck 'im up

(added quotes around celebrity because fuck glinner, he's a piece of filth and doesn't deserve any accolade or measure of recognition)

I should have fucking figured snouts.fm would be playing tame impala

son, my father wore this Afghan War vet hat before me, and you'll wear it after me. since we live in the freest country on earth, you'll be able to pass it onto your sons when time comes for them to enlist in the War in Afghanistan

Star Wars is only good for generating horseshit theories, such as "Yoda is a post-menopausal mogwai, that's why he can live in a swamp without popping off evil babies"
