Delightful, truly. Although I think it may be triggering some past trauma lol

Most of them were killed in December and January trying to do just that. I’ve seen estimates as high as 50,000, but most are reporting 30,000-36,000.

The exact numbers are impossible to verify because Iran shut down the entire country’s internet to cover it up.

I’m literally asking you for a reliable source. You made a very strong claim, and I’m assuming that you have evidence. Please share it.

What is the best place to find reliable information about antisemitism? What does your source report as the rate of antisemitism today vs a decade ago?

Every reliable survey and vital statistics organization I can find points to a sharp rise in antisemitic hate crimes in recent years.

Edit: You’ve been asked more than once to provide even a single source, and refused. So this appears to be based on “vibes.”

They massacred tens of thousands of protesters in December and January. They blacked out the internet to try and cover it up, but the information is slowly coming out.

I have a boox, and it’s great! I wouldn’t mind having a little one like this that you can basically toss along with you anywhere. Always a few minutes to read a book instead of scrolling.

Naw, just get better compression algorithm bro /s

History refers to the recording. That’s why we have the term prehistoric, which refers to the period before events were recorded.

Bonus: historiography is the study of the record itself

lol thanks!

It is recording (v), but it’s not producing a recording (n). That will probably turn out to be an important legal distinction.

There will be a lot more legal complications with the summaries because people will have an expectation of reliability. It’s pretty unlikely that they will be consistently reliable enough, or consistently avoid privacy traps, like HIPAA.

Regardless, it’s creepy.

True, but they’re not all creating a stenographic record of everything said in their vicinity. As far as we know

Well done. I’m still trying to make it through Don Quixote, so I get it. I was expecting a quick, fun read, but it is really more like trying to binge a soap opera. sure, it has very episodic chapters, but also a through-line and recurring characters that disappear and come back later, and it just keeps going.

Don’t tell me how it ends, but just tell me if it’s worth it… does it eventually build to something satisfying?

I really enjoy an e-ink display, but I’ve never owned a Kindle. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

In any case, there is a good chance you can unlock/jailbreak an older kindle and make it usable again (arguably for the first time).

Who on their marketing team decided that books and burning go together?

They’ll really do anything to avoid making a better product, huh?

Well, yes. Left wing parties have formed a government with Arab parties in the past, and even merged.

Genuinely despicable. Hopefully the courts will strike it down swiftly.

This is most likely a Right-wing plot to drive division in the Left leading up to elections. Many parties end up polling below the threshold, so in a contentious election they often merge to form larger parties and mutually benefit. If Left wing parties can’t form common ground to merge, then the Right stands to gain more seats without having to win more votes.

Yep, that too.

Well, there are some people who have an interest in exaggerating uncertainty and inconsistency in the biblical text.

Many diasporic Jewish communities of the ancient world were not familiar enough with Hebrew and required the Septuagint (Greek), or the Targum (several Aramaic translations). However, there were rabbis in the first and second centuries CE discussing the correct intonation and punctuation of the text for homiletical purposes. That suggests that they where both very familiar with the language of the text, and shared a “correct” intonation. Worth noting that these discussions were happening in Hebrew.

It’s true that early 20th Century scholars debated that the ancient Hebrew script was lost to Jews after the Babylon exile. We have since found examples of the Ancient Hebrew script and Assyrian script (used in Hebrew from the Babylon time until today) side by side in the same documents.

Your point about translation is right on the money, although some ancient translations do provide additional context about what the original text meant to the people of the day.
