The Bund is fascinating but this review like Bund itself is a triumph of wish over reality. Bundists who werent killed by Hitler were shot by Stalin inc Alter Erlich Feffer Markish Bergelson many in the Night of Murdered Poets 1952. A dangerous world. Yet oddly the review just says: ‘Bund ceased operating in 1949.’

Spoiler: The Bundists either died in the Holocaust or were imprisoned in the gulags.

Make it stop

Why doesn’t this BBC story examine why there’s a market for fathers selling their young daughters to other men in the first place? What a strange omission - it’s like the reality that these girls are being sold as child brides to be raped by adult men is invisible or something.

László Nemes : « Mon père disait qu’il devait sa vie à Auschwitz » 👉 Dix ans après Le fils de Saul, le cinéaste László Nemes réalise un film qui prend place dans la Hongrie de l’immédiat après-guerre. Il raconte à Samuel Blumenfeld comment il s’est inspiré de l’histoire de son père, orphelin, déterminé à conserver son héritage juif dans un climat violemment judéophobe.

A young girl has been missing since this past Friday night. If you have any information please contact @Shomrimtoronto

Great interview. I was just watching the gutting Son of Saul last night.

Oh no The peepee poopoo man is back in action and the New York Post has learned of him

buddy, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

"These are young women with, it is clear, material concerns in their own lives, in their own communities. How is everything now Palestine? Where did it come from that feminism would be so preoccupied with a topic so disconnected from women’s rights?" [thecjn.ca/arts-culture/m…]

@mariorustan Okay, thanks. So regular 🔵sky stuff. :)

@stepfordTO It's a weekly stuff, perhaps. I don't know the specific of today's edition, also his haters have blocked me. I guess in general there are people seeing him as too normal and that means he must be a transphobe, a zionist (he dislikes hamas), & a centrist (mainstream Democrat).

Is there a tl;dr version of the Will Stancil kerfuffle on bl***ky?
