Defending the world from stupidity since 1979. I have nothing to do with late (late) night television.

A few months ago, I was assaulted on the London Tube by an anti-Semite who mistook my tuxedo for Orthodox Jewish dress. She shoved and kicked me while hurling vile slurs in front of multiple witnesses, yet the police never caught her. Britain has a serious problem.

Programmers: do you have a consistent preference for which side you put the literal on in a comparison? // Right-hand side if (someValue == 1) {} // Left-hand side if (1 == someValue) {}

@nicbarkeragain It's typically an unintended typo. I've mainly moved to using immutable variables, and languages that don't assign value with "=", so it's mainly a moot point, but still a habit.

@nickbernstein Good point! My hot take is that assignment inside a conditional is an anti pattern and should never have been allowed, there are specific cases where it gives subjectively nicer ergonomics but I don't think it's worth it.

@JoeBarnes136917 @MrsLScotland @NicholasLissack We'll call it whatever we want. The German who coined the term "antisemitism" did so because the Yiddish "yuden haste" sounded "rude". Everyone knows what antisemetic means. This is an anti-Jewish technique to undermine antisemitism you are falling for/participating in.

@MrsLScotland @NicholasLissack You should be careful throwing accusations around Sheila. 1) Many people who follow the Jewish faith have no "semitic" origins 2) Many Arab Moslems are also "semitic" I haven't insulted anyone here, but you have.

@TheHarrisSultan It's the old ussr playbook. The goal isn't to convince, it's to make people be suspicious of ever thing, and assume all information is lies

Every clown who was so sure he was dead, are just gonna move on to something else. Even George Galloway and Mehdi Hasan peddled the theory of Netenyahu’s death. 🤡

@ChrisWillx @grok can you create a table of the number of single men and single women in NYC and the ratio of women to men, in five year increments starting at 20, and going to 55

There is a shortage of straight men in New York. Due to a shortage of male attendees, some dating events in NYC charged women $100 and men $0, yet attendance still ran 3:1.

@rationalaussie I don't think the process is designed to select for intelligence. Too dumb is almost certainly weeded out very quickly. Consienciousness is harder to vett. Very smart people often think they can cut corners because of their intellect.

The bigger question here - and the real problem - is why does it take 5 years to become an electrician? You're seriously gonna tell me the smartest white collar workers (soon to be unemployed) are effectively prohibited from getting employed as a lucrative tradesperson during the final period where human employment even matters, because of regulations? It's insane. A smart person could turbo charge this in 6 months. The West needs fast-track trades programs.
Jason Shuman@JasonrShuman

The US needs 500,000 new electricians this decade. Apprenticeships take 5 years. Microsoft’s Brad Smith says it’s the #1 thing slowing data center expansion. The AI bottleneck isn’t chips. It’s the trades.

@WellsJorda89710 The rise of antisemitism in the Black American community broke my father's heart. He volunteered as an attorney doing civil rights work after graduating from law school.

🚨To every Black person tempted by the antisemitic wave sweeping right now:🚨 Back when white mobs lynched us in the streets... When we had no money, no power, and literally no movement... Who stood with us? Who risked everything? The Jews. They weren't just allies—they were family in the fight. - Jewish leaders co-founded the NAACP in 1909 and funded/led it for generations when no one else would. - When Dr. King and our people were arrested, beaten, jailed—Jewish lawyers defended us for free, and Jewish money paid bail bonds and court fees while others turned away. - In Freedom Summer '64, half the white volunteers risking death to register Black voters? Jewish. - Rabbi Heschel marched arm-in-arm with MLK in Selma—our struggles linked forever. Without their blood, treasure, solidarity, and courage—there is no Civil Rights Movement as we know it. No Voting Rights Act. No dream realized. That's why I stand with the Jews. They were our only true friends when this country hated us—when doors slammed shut and ropes hung high. They showed up, bled, and built with us. So to my people joining this demonic, divisive hate today: Pause. Remember. Honor the alliance that freed us. Our histories are bound. Our freedoms were won together. Betray that, and you betray the very martyrs who died for our rights. Black-Jewish unity forged the dream. Don't let hate destroy it. I stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters—always. ✊🏾🤝✡️🇮🇱 Repost if truth > trends. If gratitude > division. If history matters. #BlackJewishAlliance #RememberOurAllies #StandTogether #CivilRightsTruth #NoToAntisemitism

@MrAriyeh @MissLauraMarcus @KiszelyPhilip If people think they can chase you away, they will. Right now they view us as soft targets. Become more dangerous. Even if you don't want to own a gun, get training so that if you ever change your mind you already know how to use it.

We should never again ask how the hell the Holocaust happened. We’re seeing it. Right here. Right now. Jews are being hunted and the institutions and authorities supposed to protect us not only turn a blind eye - they’re tacitly welcoming it.

@MrJTroyer It's the same as any language: start a project using it. Learn as you go. I tend to rewrite things I've written before.

@Iamnotalcohol Two major religions are built on top of judiasm. It's very inconvenient when there are people who can say, "you're mistranslating that" or, you say we believe that, but we don't. A lot of it stems from that.

@Kolleldude @Chusidel What do you mean? I live in Los Angeles, and you can own a gun here. There are annoying restrictions, and it might be a 2 hour wait at the store. I think really it's only NYC that makes it impossible.

In plain English: they’re trying to kill all of us. Blatant antisemitism is mainstream, rebranded as antizionism. Every Jewish life is at risk. Every day we are under constant attack. Nothing has changed about this hatred.

@RepAuchincloss Yeah, because it's incredibly hard to get a ccw in many states, like Massachusetts. If half the congregation was carrying, they wouldn't need to hire security.

“Jewish institutions now spend $765 million annually on security… A typical Jewish organization spends 14 percent of its annual budget on security.” This money should be going to community building, child care, and charity. Instead the Jewish community must fortify itself against a surge of hate that is being mainstreamed by opportunists online. nytimes.com/2026/03/13/us/…
