timely AML fun fact!
in 1908, the summer Olympics were held in London from April through the end of October
which means the Olympics are happening in the background during the entirety of A Marvellous Light
now I'm thinking about the headache that a flock of international magician-athletes would be, and poor Edwin and Adelaide like REGGIE, PLEASE COME BACK AND DO YOUR JOB, WE'RE FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT POLE-VAULTER JUST FLEW

istg “Zionism” is to the left what “Critical Race Theory” is to the right. Is it a thing that exists? Sure. Do the people who are so certain it’s an evil plot to indoctrinate the world into a racist ideology actually know what it is, or even know how to define it? Well, no… but that won’t stop them from being mad about it!

Well, first of all I would like to thank you for always answering our questions. I thought of something these days and it makes a little sense. I believe that satura loves geto but I think he fell in love with the teenage geto and not with the adult geto because he didn't live with and doesn't know the adult geto because they were away for 10 years. and the adult suguru and the teenage suguru are totally different people. Can you tell me what you think and if this makes sense? sorry for the text.
Hey anon, don’t thank me yet I have like 5 questions resting in my ask that I feel so lazy to answer 😭😭😭😭 I will get to them eventually but ty for these questions 🫶
Also to answer your question, you are not entirely wrong I would say he is stuck in the past for sure BUT he would love Suguru in any situation. Especially when ch 236 dropped and Gojo answered “If you were there to pat my back I would’ve been satisfied” imagining Geto among his students in his cult leader outfit, I just knew he had never stop loving Geto. Teen Geto was his first love for sure yeah but I think he reminisces more about his three years of youth than teen Geto.
To gojo, teen geto, adult geto, any geto would be Suguru. In jjk0 when he tells Yuuta that Geto was “his one and only” he uses present tense, that personally resonates to me as even in those 10 years they were separated and even though teen Geto and adult Geto might not even be the same person anymore, his love never deteriorated for Suguru.
Also to me, Gojo and Geto are soulmates and even if the person you love changes, I think their soul would still be the same one you fell in love with.

Israeli-American journalist Caroline Glick gives her take on the recent controversy concerning Yad Vashem director Dani Dayan. In this video, she explains the key role that Jerusalem Mufti Hajj- Amin al-Husseini played in the Nazi Holocaust and subsequently as a leader of the Palestinian national movement.
Caroline Glick points to Dani Dayan's refusal to hang a picture of al-Husseini meeting with Adolf Hitler in 1941 in the Yad Vashem museum, as he confirmed during an interview with Haaretz in 2022. This refusal, she argues, is political-- even though Dayan claimed he would not hang the picture because that request was political.
This is information that western pro-Palestinian self-described allies will never mention (nor will the mainstream media), as it exposes precisely why Palestinian terrorists and leaders (who are often one and the same) have consistently rejected peace in favour of war, even if their own people suffer as a result.
When you understand the depth of al-Husseini's hatred for the Jewish people (he condemned groups of European Jewish children to death by preventing them from being transferred to Mandatory Palestine) and the admiration with which he is held by subsequent Palestinian leaders, there's simply no way to heap the blame on Israel, or even the territorial dispute over the West Bank, for there being no Palestinian state. There's also simply no way to separate anti-Zionism from antisemitism either, once you understand why al-Husseini is revered to this day by Palestinian leaders and presumably many Palestinian civilians.
And, unfortunately for UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, there's no way to equate Arab suffering during the 1948 War with the Holocaust by claiming they are both defining events. The displacement of Arabs between 1947-1949 came as a direct result of the Arab desire to destroy the Jewish State and kill its citizens, and al-Husseini was one of those who urged that desire, which is precisely why he was supportive of Hitler's extermination plan in 1941.
There's also no way to accuse European Jews of colonialism, either. While al-Husseini was in Iraq, he incited a massacre of the Jews in Farhud in 1941, the very year Hitler planned his 'Final Solution'. Glick says that around 900 Iraqi Jews were murdered. Over the next few decades, over 800 000 Jews would be persecuted and violently expelled from Arab lands in plain violation of the Balfour Declaration. Many of those Jews naturally moved to Israel. This is why today, a slight majority of Israelis are descendants of Jewish exiles to neighbouring lands.
Holocaust education can only succeed if the whole truth is told. While we live in an age where people are constantly demanding that such-and-such a history be re-examined in light of modern views, it's strange to see the director of Yad Vashem conceal vital facts for fear of causing offence.
Glick says that Dayan isn't even a scholar of the Holocaust; it appears his appointment was political.
Perhaps it is time for Yad Vashem to find a director who will tell the truth without fear.
