IT IS ODD THAT A HARD WORKING JEW CAN BE BLAMED FOR HAVING MONEY.

PROTECTIONS FOR JEWS HAVE GROWN IN THE LAST TWO YEARS? Thought for 4s No, objective data shows that antisemitic incidents and violence against Jews have remained at or near record highs over the last two years (roughly mid-2024 to mid-2026), despite some security funding increases and a partial decline in non-violent incidents in 2025. adl.org Key statistics (primarily US-focused, as that's where most detailed tracking exists):ADL 2025 Audit: 6,274 antisemitic incidents (assaults, harassment, vandalism) — third-highest year since tracking began in 1979. Down 33% from the 2024 record of ~9,354, but still ~5x higher than a decade ago and far above pre-Oct. 7, 2023 levels (average ~8 incidents/day pre-2023 vs. 17/day in 2025). adl.org Physical assaults hit record highs: 203 in 2025 (up from 196 in 2024; pre-2023 baseline ~111). Deadly weapon assaults rose to 32 (from 23). First antisemitic fatalities on US soil since 2022. cnn.com FBI hate crime data (2024): Anti-Jewish incidents reached ~1,938 — highest on record. Jews (~2% of US population) accounted for ~68-70% of religion-based hate crimes and ~16-18% of all hate crime victims. en.wikipedia.org Surveys: ~55% of American Jews reported experiencing antisemitism in the past year (2024-2025); 79% concerned. adl.org Campus incidents dropped sharply in 2025 (583 vs. 1,694 in 2024), linked to policy changes, but overall violence and urban hotspots (NY, NJ, CA) stayed elevated. washingtonpost.com Globally, 2025 saw the highest number of Jews murdered in antisemitic attacks in decades (~20 victims reported in one compilation), with spikes in Europe, Australia, and Canada. english.tau.ac.il On "protections" and security measures:Governments and organizations have increased funding for physical security in response to the post-Oct. 7 surge:US: Expanded Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) — e.g., $94M+ to hundreds of Jewish organizations in one round. Calls for $1B+ total. Synagogues/schools invest heavily (~$765M/year community-wide). dhs.gov Europe/Canada: Boosts like Netherlands €2M for Jewish sites, Canadian $10M programs, EU working groups. combatantisemitism.org These are reactive hardening measures (guards, cameras, barriers) amid persistent threats. They haven't reduced underlying incidents to pre-2023 levels or prevented record assaults/fatalities. ADL and others note antisemitism is "entrenched" and normalized. adl.org In short, threats have not meaningfully declined (especially violent ones), so "protections" in the sense of safety and reduced targeting have not grown — they've been playing catch-up. Broader societal, online, and political factors (including Israel-related tensions blurring into anti-Jewish acts) continue driving elevated risk. Data from ADL, FBI, and others is the most reliable benchmark here.

Hairy Rice Cakes: THE MOVIE!

Republican's may get it wrong sometimes, but they don't lie nearly as often as democrats do.

Bill Hole was staring at the window and noticed a huge sun flower aiming at his head.

Those that are anti Trump are just paid actors.

IDIOTS ON VACATION: THE MOVIE!

Why do small guys have the best ideas???

Yes, some away from home spots must be gaining attentionYes, a fascinating "Third-Place Revival" is actively happening, but the new spaces gaining massive attention look completely different than the dark bars or quiet cafes of the 1991–2011 era.Instead of passive spaces where you just sit and consume a product, the away-from-home spots booming right now are built entirely around shared activities and low-pressure physical participation. People are looking for connection, but they want a reason to be in the room together.Several specific away-from-home spots are commanding a massive wave of cultural attention:1. Activity-First Social ClubsThe Run Club Boom: Organized run clubs and walking groups have completely transformed into the "new bar scene". Platforms like Strava reported that new club creations nearly quadrupled recently, turning exercise into a primary venue for low-stakes mingling and post-workout socializing.Board Game Cafes: Places like Sip & Play in Brooklyn or Game Point in Nashville are surging. Having a physical board game on the table lowers the social anxiety of talking to strangers; the activity provides an immediate, built-in conversation piece.2. Wellness Spaces as Nightlife AlternativesThe Cold Plunge Culture: Wellness centers and bathhouses like Othership are exploding as alcohol-free alternatives to the weekend bar. Instead of drinking in a dark lounge, groups of people are gathering late into the night for structured sauna, breathwork, and ice bath circuits.Experiential Grocery Socials: Grocery stores built to encourage lingering are trending heavily as neighborhood hangouts. Local, independent, and high-end grocers are embedding tasting bars, private chef pop-ups, and cooking classes right into the shopping aisles, turning the weekly errand into a social event.3. The "Silent" and Independent Bookstore ResurgenceThe Barnes & Noble Rebound: Once left for dead by the internet, Barnes & Noble is opening dozens of new stores because people are craving the tactile act of physical browsing and discovery alongside other humans.Silent Book Clubs: Local bookshops are seeing packed houses for "Silent Book Clubs". People show up to a cafe or bar, read their own physical books in companionable silence for an hour, and then grab a drink and chat afterward. It provides the perfect balance of a digital detox with built-in community.
