Mira: So. What're we watching tonight?

Zoey: The first few episodes of Percy Jackson! I read these books so much as a kid and-

Mira: Mmm-mmm. No.

Zoey: ?

Mira: You are pulling up Disney Plus.

Zoey: Well, yeah, that's where-

Mira: This is supposed to be a chill night, and Disney stuff makes Rumi cry every damn time!

Rumi: (not this again) It does not!

Mira: Overruled. Anyway, tonight was supposed to be fun and relaxing and there's nothing fun or relaxing about Rumi tears.

Zoey: Mir...you have nothing to worry about! These books are pure fun! The kid finds out he's a demigod and has adventures and goes to camp-

Rumi: Demigods go to camp?

Zoey: -and they are very much not Rumi-tears material

Rumi: Besides, I am not so emotionally fragile I'd cry at a tween novel about kids in camp.

Mira: Whatever you say...

LATER:

Percy Jackson's mom: You are not broken. You are singular

Zoey:...

Mira: (wait for it...)

Rumi: ...

Rumi: 😭😭😭

Mira: ...and there it is.

This is how they went on their first date

And you cannot convince me otherwise

An asshat on Twitter claimed John Adams hated Jews by quoting this:

That's a real quote...but here's what Adams actually wrote in its full context:

- John Adams

Letter to François Adriaan Van der Kemp dated February 16, 1809

So the quoted sentence isn't a dig at Jews. It's Adams saying that he doesn't love any group in the emotional sense, and that moral judgment can't rest on who you're fond of. He can admire the Jewish contribution to civilization without romanticizing "the Jews" as a collective. He's insisting on universality over favoritism.
