Has anyone seen a Careers Knowledge Panel recently? They used to always appear when you added "jobs" or "careers" to a company name. Since just before the August Core Update, there were fewer and now none, as far as I can tell. @JohnMu @sejournal @rustybrick

This is an fantastic story with some incredible people. Real life magic wars, Olympic medals for "swimming" (but not what you think), with a side order of poetry. With thanks to @nosuchthing and @Schreiberland for first telling me about this. blogs.timesofisrael.com/defe…

Rudolf Diesel envisaged a better future, hoping he could fuel his engine on peanut oil and democratise the economy. The effort killed him. Eldad and Meidad also tried to warn about the future, and Joshua tried to silence them. But Moses encouraged them. blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-…

Recently, @TimHarford mocked Edward Bok twice in #CautionayTales so I started reading about Bok so I could make fun of him too. But actually, though he has some out-of-date views, I found him overall very impressive. Let me know what you think. blogs.timesofisrael.com/true…

Redundant question: has any Jewish conservative pundit trashed the Fuentes Mar-a-Lago dinner?

Antisemitism
We changed our style in 2021 to antisemitism, not anti-Semitism. The past style was based on common usage. But some say that could give credence to the idea that Jews are a separate race. A growing number of Jewish organizations and others have moved to the style antisemitism.
This is Israel’s actual tourism minister, @YRazvozov, in a brilliant marketing video. You will be shaken, stirred, moved, and inspired. Come visit. :) 🍸🇮🇱

Paul Stanley of KISS is Jewish and vocal about his opposition to antisemitism.
Mental Illness IS a disease but should NEVER be used to minimize the danger of hate speech, advocating anti-semitism and violence against religions or ethnicities. We have found ways over centuries to rationalize this behavior and viewed the atrocities that followed. SPEAK UP!
