“The Chabad Rabbi of UCLA was just physically assaulted live on camera,” said Harvard University student Shabbos Kestenbaum. “The students subsequently began calling him a ‘Zionist pedophile Rabbi,’ telling him to ‘go back to Poland.’ We are in such a dark, dangerous time in our country, with almost no leadership fighting back.”

Others, commenting on the swarming of vice chancellor Beck, suggested that UCLA’s admissions committee potentially selected the students to reward their allegiance to the politics of the far left.

“You’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at this UCLA administrator,” said Noah Pollack, a contributor to the Washington Free Beacon. “These are the people he wanted on campus. These are the people his admissions committee selects for. And now he gets to live with them while they threaten and humiliate him.”

Emily Austin, a pro-Israel activist and sports broadcaster, told The Algemeiner in a statement: “These students feel comfortable engaging in what increasingly looks like domestic terrorism because the authorities allow it. They do and say the most abhorrent things knowing there will be no consequences. This is a result of weak leadership, especially in California, where leaders’ failures stretch far beyond the campus.”

The riot at UCLA continues an unprecedented year in higher education in which students emerged in the hundreds and thousands to declare solidarity with Hamas, terrorism, and efforts to destroy Israel, the world’s only Jewish state. Their demonstrations followed Hamas’ atrocities on Oct. 7, when the terrorist organization murdered over 1,200 people, kidnapped more than 250 others, and perpetrated systematic sexual violence during the terrorist group’s invasion of southern Israel.

At UCLA, anti-Zionist protesters have installed their third encampment, the first of which saw them block off entire sections of campus through which they blocked Jewish students from passing. Violence, destruction of property, and open calls for murdering Jews have defined all three demonstrations, revealing what experts have described to The Algemeiner as the complete radicalization of higher education.

I don't wanna @ anyone because I understand how fast things seem to move in today's landscape of streaming shows dropping entire seasons in one day, and networks pumping out new series constantly to try to attract more subscribers with no intent to actually maintain those shows over time but I just saw someone self-deprecatingly lament that they are still thinking about a show that ended almost a year ago, making fan art and playlists for it, and I want to be very clear:

you can still create fanworks when it comes to old media!! PLEASE do!! there are always going to be new fans who will appreciate it, and veteran fans who are dying for new content and new perspectives. also, less than a year is NOTHING. the original Star Trek series was on TV six decades ago and there are still people losing their minds over it, writing stories and reblogging gifsets daily, and that's only one example.

a fandom lasts as long as there are people who love a thing, even if it's only a handful of people. love what you love and write and draw and make gifs and playlists about it!

Guys I’m going to make a hot take

I don't know about you,but I don't think individuals who are pumped full of hormones and have extreme delusions/ideologies should be trusted with weapons.

Same vibes as those incel mass shooters.

This is so real

My favorite thing about this gif was always how the camera gets shaky as soon as the cat starts looking fucked up bc of the person filming probably laughing at it. I hope it's what it is. I love when there's like someone filming a skit or joke and you can see them laughing at it

I watched the live action version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" on Youtube and I was not ready for the utter lack of emotions from the CGI animals.

Nala looking concerned about Simba hiding something about his past, a comparison:

Also, in CGI this song called "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" does not take place at night.

Gotcha. But yeah I saw that post too.

Thing is, "fixing the problem" involves putting women back into the home. Safety is restriction so you can be protected, freedom is risk. You don't get both, but lots of women seem to think they do.

At first I really liked the premise of the bear debate but now as a Male SA survivor I feel even more buried than before. Like... how did we get to this point? Where thousands if not millions of people will see me as a potential rapist for merely existing? I thought the question was meant to be thought provoking and ask how we can better address SA but it became another gender war.

It's starting to convince me I'll never live in a world where people actually believe me. Ever.

I don't believe this was ever really meant to be (as you said) thought provoking. Most of the time, these things don't turn out that way because that's not what these people are looking for

What's worse is when they use statistics to try and prove their point. I've been seeing these videos and posts of people explicitly saying that bears are safer than men

It's not comparable

How can it be comparable when many people don't live near bears? For many people, they won't see a bear in person besides the zoo. I've gone camping and hiking a lot and I've never seen one. Compare that to the men you come into contact with on the daily who don't do anything to you

There are two basic arguments for shutting the fuck up about cishets at Pride.

First: What if a trans kid asks their parents to show their support by attending Pride with them? What if a lesbian can only attend pride if she gets a ride from someone and the only person willing and able to drive her is her straight brother? What if a bi disabled person can't attend a large outdoor event without hands-on assistance from their straight partner? What if someone just wants to bring their fucking friends? What if, contrary to popular tumblr discourse, most queers don't inhabit perfectly pure social bubbles populated only by other queers?

Second and perhaps more important: If you think you can tell that someone is CIS, let alone HET, by LOOKING at them, you are a cop and an idiot.

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

Fandom Problem #5050:

I think people should be able to have fun with characters and stories, even making AUs and canon divergences or "what if"s or writing characters to be OOC, but personally I prefer things keeping closer to canon interpretation, and I hate being pegged as the "fun police" or "canon purist" when I say that I wish there were more content close to being canon, when what IS in canon is actually pretty good and interesting, but almost never gets discussed.

Like, pretty much all the content I could find the characters are so OOC that they have basically nothing to do with their canon counterparts, they're basically just someone's OC dressed in a different character costume. The whole story around the the characters just dissolves, and they're reduced to little more than just vessels for shipping and memes.

It's not always BAD, sometimes it's a lot of fun! But it's not at all what I was looking for when I searched out content for this thing I like? That others in the fandom ostensibly like but also make a point of ignoring and contradicting? I wish we could have it BOTH ways instead of always always being all the way one way or all the way the other.

It wasn't clear I guess but the end "you should do something about it" was generic female perspective/sarcasm, not a serious call to action. I'll edit it.
