@dylanmatt it seems like they’re trying to do the spanish thing where z is pronounced “th,” but it comes out as “chore-itso” somehow? — PolitiTweet.org

The male host, Paul Hollywood (yes seriously, is apparently aware of challah. He just thinks it’s spelled “cholla” and served at Passover https://t.co/mR6roMhW5G — PolitiTweet.org

@benjaminhaddad Probably the worst thing that’s happened to us — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

One of the judges says that challah - excuse me, plaited bread - would be good for celebrations. Like which ones, exactly? Another says the art of braiding bread is “being lost.” Which makes me think he’s never actually met a Jew. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Just watched a Great British Bake Off episode where they make challah and bagels and it could scarcely have been worse. They: -call the challah “plaited bread” -make them bake sweet bagels -never once use the word “Jewish” or credit the food to its inventors in any way — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty much all of the signature foods from the state of Rhode Island. Del's frozen lemonade, coffee milk, Providence-style pizza — all extremely delicious — PolitiTweet.org

@CasMudde Quite revealing how many critics of alleged leftist authoritarianism have been lining up to defend a demonstrably authoritarian regime — PolitiTweet.org

Love to make jokes pitting Jews against black people, this to me is humor — PolitiTweet.org

@joshuakeating @ishaantharoor I can't get over all the little weird ahistorical errors here. Labeling Freud as "Czech," for example, while Attila the Hun — who was born somewhere in Central Asia — is Hungarian — PolitiTweet.org

@im_PULSE @ishaantharoor Which was, at the time, the Prussian city of Königsberg! Kant wrote in German and is widely understood to be the key figure in the German philosophical tradition. Describing him as "Russian" due to a subsequent shift in geographic borders is indeed extremely presentist — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@ishaantharoor Labeling Kant Russian is a pretty wild act of presentism — PolitiTweet.org

Jews: The one thing we all agree on is that it's really bad when Christians try to convert us "Pro-Israel" advocates: Okay but the evangelicals are supporting the Israeli government's destructive drive to seize Palestinian land, that's worth losing a few Jews — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This is a genuinely deranged argument that illustrates how badly the idea of being "pro-Israel" has warped people's brains https://t.co/oa5DS5XPmJ — PolitiTweet.org

@SWGoldman @yeselson It doesn't make very much sense to compare state-level responses to the national level response in Canada. if you compare like with like — e.g., high-prevalence provinces to high-prevalence states — you see consistently better performance across the board there — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Fortunately, there are lots of policy responses in between "do nothing" and "cut off the US economy from China, engage in military brinksmanship." Unfortunately, the people in power at the moment are not known for subtle and creative policy thinking. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Two things that are both true: 1. The past few years have exposed the Xi regime as a genuinely bad actor. The coronavirus makes this clear — and demands some kind of response. 2. Demonizing China and stoking Cold War-style conflict is far more dangerous than it's worth. — PolitiTweet.org

@EricLevitz @jessesingal This seems like a straightforward case of a far-right writer — the author is part of a think tank affiliated with the Sweden Democrats — recasting welfare chauvinism as the real left position — PolitiTweet.org
