so funny that humans imagined a creature that is like a human but bigger and called it a “giant”. that’s such an uncreative name. that’s just an adjective. “it’s a giant!” “a giant what?!” “a giant… um. yeah. giant.”

oh my god,,,, the word was originally used for the creature and not as an adjective,,,,, that’s even funnier *guy seeing something huge* wow! that’s roughly the size of one of those big creatures wouldn’t you say?

I feel like people are missing the Very Important reference picture and that’s just criminal. Clearly if you look at the dog that inspired the piece, you would understand the inherent validity of the voters’ choice.

Thank you for that addition but I assure you we all already understood the the validity of the voters choice

Just witnessed several Quakers I’ve known since childhood pull the “Palestinians are Semitic people” card and then try to use their academic credentials to justify this position. Two of them are English professors and were arguing that the etymology of words changes regardless of the history.

One of their goyische friends then argued that antisemitism was coined by Zionists as a means to deflect criticism.

Except every Jew in the comments came in with receipts about the history of the word “antisemitism”, how it was coined, why “Semitic people” is an outdated classification based on pseudoscience, and so on.

The response?

The goyim became openly antisemitic and hostile to their, now former, Jewish friends who were trying to correct them and their misinformed position. All of them started spouting ZOG and Protocols level conspiracy theories wrapped in academic jargon.

I’m flabbergasted.

After the Brant Rosen thing with Quakerism I became aware of the inherit strain of antisemitism within the community, but to actually witness it in people I’ve known since kindergarten? People I know as well informed academics who make reasoned, educated, and cited posts and writings? People I know who have marched, advocated, and fought for various minority groups and their rights?

Oof.

It really shows how much impact antisemitism has on people. It truly takes away morals and ethics to allow such ignorance to come from the mouths/keyboards of such “informed” academics. It makes you abandon all of your principles by openly admitting you’ll listen to every minority group and the hatred and bigotry they experience except Jews.

I went to elementary and high school with everyone involved. I know what morals and principles they were taught. I know the community culture they were raised in.

And it has all been abandoned because it’s in vogue to be antisemitic and justify it in support of “activism”.

But now it’s on FB for all of their friends and family to see, and everyone has screenshots so they can’t dirty delete.

wtf just happened to my tumblr

As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can't argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.

In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.
