Yes, let’s rename it for RBG!

“They de-Germanified their name in moving to Israel”

She might share some DNA with people who thousands of years ago lived in the Levant - but it’s been thousands of years so its more likely that she does not share any DNA with those ancient people at all. It’s a very tenuous claim, at best. A random person in Botswana or Argentina or India or Scotland could easily share…

Back to Palestine” predates “Israelis Out of Palestine” by a few centuries.

“So only a very narrow genetic difference, then, as Jews and Egyptians are from the same broad group and from very close regions (you have to drive the same distance between Cairo and Jerusalem and Naples and Milan, and it’s a much straighter shot in Italy).”

“Why don’t we give Cleopatra superpowers like bulletproof bracelets or a magickal rope-trick?”

“Beanie Feldstein as Cleopatra! No, I am not kidding.”

When did Dirt Bag change to “Gossip” on the header?  Was it when they added “MASCULINITY WEEK”?

Hmm. It’s funny how in the same breathe you’re insisting that Israeli Jews aren’t a monolith, but also insisting that me saying Gal Gadot’s family emigrated to the Levant from Europe (which they absolutely did) means that I’m saying that all Israeli Jews did. Apparently they’re a monolith or not depending on if it’s…

“What was Bill Burr just saying...”

Weren’t a lot of those incestuous marriages just for show (because it was what Pharaohs did) but the actual sexual relations were done with people not related to them? Cleopatra was ‘married’ to 2 of her brothers, right? But all of her children were fathered by men who were not her brothers.

“Also, am I the only one here who isn’t a fan of Gal Gadot?”

“Do we really need another Cleopatra movie?”

No one said any of that. But go off I guess.

“Her Israeli-born parents changed it to an actual word in Hebrew”

“I mean... they did send goons to police the polls in the 80's (demanding ID and turning people away) to maintain their power.”

Yes! Please!

“it’s historically inaccurate”

“White republicans in the late 70's wanted to distance it from the “Mexican” sounding (and populated) city that the airport resides in, so Santa Ana was removed from the name.”

“I feel this way about DCA!”
