It's never antizionism not antisemitism.
These are comments in Taika Waititi's comment sections. All he did was sign a letter for the hostages to be released. He has not said anything in support of Israel's actions.
Taika Waititi is a Jewish man.
As you can see from the first picture, he is being told that he can no longer make movies sharing Māori experiences because he signed a letter for hostages to he released. A Māori man is being told not to share Māori experiences because he signed a letter for hostages to be released and because he's Jewish.
This is sickening. It's disgusting. It's trying to erase his indigenous experiences as a Māori all because he's Jewish.
All the other comments are also equally gross.

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

#not counting pokemon? it would definitely be the occasional speed racer episodes on cartoon network at my friend's. no cable at home#if you're talking about the first anime i watched on purpose it was ranma ½#speed racer was already a rerun back in the 90's when i used to know anime as “japanimation”#my dad told me about how he watched gigantor and astro boy as a kid so one of those would be his first

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.
It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).
Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.
One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.
*Yes, this is a blog post, but it's a blog post filled with links to news articles. If you can click one link, you can click another.

It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
