And people elected her. One more excuse for antisemitism.

There's a story in today's NYT about a Canadian woman who has been (allegedly) posting all sorts of bogus information on line about individuals who have crossed her in one way or another: calling them pedophiles, drug addicts etc etc. It's worth a read - especially the comments which are calling for more restrictions on platforms which allow people to post this sort of nonsense.

Cleary the Canadian woman is bonkers. I'd hate to see Google and Facebook and all the rest becoming responsible for shit that people post because ultimately, if they were, what is to stop someone going after Gob - who pays the rent here - if someone posts something that someone else objects to? There is a fine line between daft as a brush (as my old grannie used to say - I never figured out why a brush was the epitome of unhingedness) and evil. Some kid in Indianapolis allegedly shot and killed six of his family last week. Is he pure evil or batshit crazy?

Society needs to be protected from people like the Canadian woman and the Indy kid if indeed they are guilty of what they are accused of. If that means getting them into treatment and making sure they take the meds, I'm fine with it.

Similarly with Rep Greene. The rational side of me says that these theories - baby eating Hillary, aliens setting fire to California, some outlandish conspiracy involving thousands across several states and Hugo Chavez wresting the presidential prize from the rightful one-and-only - could only be held by those who, through no fault of their own, have lost touch with (or never had any concept of) reality. Unfortunately we don't have the beds to treat 40% of the voting population. But we could make a start with the 45 Republican senators who apparently believe that (a) you can't try a President while he is in office and (b) you can't try a President when he is out of office. Plus Rep Greene. That'd be a start.

I remember watching some YouTube videos showing the fire back when it was burning and there were quite a few people in the comment section pointing out why they believed lasers caused the fires. They pointed out things like the hedges on the sidewalk didn't burn but the tree and house nearby did. Only a laser could have done that.

They didn't say they were Jewish lasers though.

I participated in a local community Facebook group last summer and one day a woman posted a picture of a man she had allegedly taken at a local state park, and she accused him on this Facebook page of being a pedophile because she claimed he was looking at and taking photos of her and her daughters at the park - a park full of dozens and dozens of people, mind you, so hard not to get strangers in the background of your photos even if you tried not to.

Her accusation was entirely without substantiation, but people in the group began responding in kind and threatening to find and kill this guy, absent any evidence beyond the accusation. I spoke up and pointed out that anyone who visited her page would see its full of QAnon, ‘Tom Hanks is a baby raper and eater’ total crap stuff. A few dozen people liked my post and said similar things, but the vast majority kept piling on how this guy needs to die - but none of them even could identify him! Much less provide any evidence! This went on for days, and of course I was accused of also being a pedophile or the pedophile’s sister or girlfriend or mother, because why else would anyone defend a pedophile?! Very few people seemed to grasp the danger of taking an accuser’s word against another person when neither person is known to you and there is nothing to corroborate the accusation. It sent chills up and down my former PD spine.

I sent a message to the page administration pointing out that hosting a virtual lynching wasn’t going to look too great if some harm actually came to the guy, and the administration should look into his liability on that issue, or maybe just consider taking down the post and comments on the basis of decency. Of course the result was I got blocked from the site. I suspect the thread wasn’t taken down.

I am entirely unsurprised by the extent of the Q cult insanity in this country as evidenced by the Capitol insurrection and other plots against government and neighbors. I think these people are very common and all around us.

How silly of her to push this nonsense. Everyone knows it is the sharks.

Your Application for Admission into the Jewish Space Laser Society Has Been Rejected

Dear Applicant:

Thank you for your interest in the Jewish Space Laser Society. We regret to inform you that we cannot offer you admission at this time.

As you know, the Jewish Space Laser Society requires that its members be sufficiently Jewish, as well as sufficiently aware of issues surrounding either “space” or “lasers.” Your application, unfortunately, fails on both these counts.

According to our records, on April 14, 1998, you quietly snuck a bagel out of the breakroom at your place of employment, thereby violating the ban on eating bread during Passover. And while you tried to hide your “Hannukah bush” during the 2013 Christmas season, we know the truth. Finally, there is no such thing as keeping kosher “except for the occasional bacon egg and cheese.”

While in other situations, we may be able to look past these transgressions -- nobody’s perfect -- your decision to skip Yom Kippur services in 1999, 2011 and again in 2020 gives us pause. (You couldn’t Zoom into the service this year? You slept in instead? It’s a good thing your grandmother Rose isn’t alive to know such things.)

As for the more technical requirements for admission into the Society, we found your application similarly lacking. Citing your experience as a laser hair removal customer as “experience” is questionable at best. And while your essay about your interest in space correctly notes that William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy are examples for us to all admire, Harrison Ford’s inclusion is a serious mistake; he is, as Adam Sandler made quite clear, only a quarter-Jewish. Not too shabby but hardly enough to constitute a full Space Jew. (I mean, Ford didn’t even go to Brandeis!)

Sincerely yours,

The Jewish Space Laser Society
(a subsidiary of The People Who Control the Media)


P.S. You really should call your mother more often.

Look, I admit I skipped second day Rosh Hashanah, but I did go to Zoom services for Yom Kippur! True, I zoomed in to a congregation in California, but is it my fault their cantor has such a captivating voice? It's purely coincidental that they start three hours later than my own shul! Did I invent time zones? And Mama Rose doesn't need to hear anything about this, there's an extra $20 in the pushke this week.

Grandmother Rose, my kugel, that’s Bubbe, to you.
