“Though the Ashkenazis are losing most of their political power, they continue to hold most of their economic cards, which could lead to disruptive strikes and civil disobedience”

Reading about timer interrupts, planning to write a custom media player for #Arduino. I am truly making the dreams of my teenage self true... It's hard to describe how that feels.

It feels good. But, because I'm #Ashkenazi, the first coherent thought that comes to my mind as I reflect on this is "you should have been doing this 20 years ago, while you still had your health, instead of wasting your time with all the sex and drugs!" Must be my mother's ghost; and she's right

This session was taught by Martín Di Maggio, and included a fair bit about #Ashkenazi and #Sefardic traditions..

#Introduction:
My name is Robbie Norlyn! I’m a published author who primarily writes science fiction and fantasy for sale to the public. Anything else I have written, about a wide array of topics, is academic, private, or public domain.
I have had a wide variety of occupations over the years. I’m an #artist, #engineer, #scientist, and #technologist by way of experience and training.
My #AlmaMater is the #UniversityofWashington. Where I completed a #BA in #Philosophy. More specifically the school of #AnalyticPhilosophy with a strong focus on #science. However, I have a vast knowledge of #ethics and #theology due to my environment as a youth.
Why #Babka?
I’m #Jewish by descent (both sides, #Ashkenazi & #Sephardic) and am becoming more spiritual as I get older. I was raised in a #Secular/#CryptoJew environment. I grew up with Jewish memes & traditions without understanding any of their importance. Dreidels, Fiddler on the Roof, Passover, and Shel Silverstein are burned into my memories.

From the article: “The initial data leak was limited, with the threat actor releasing 1 million lines of data for #Ashkenazi people.”

#23andme doesn’t provide ancestry composition for non-#Ashkenazi (listed as European Jews on the website: https://www.23andme.com/dna-ancestry/).

So what this **really** means is that the initial leak was just people with #Jewish ancestry. A list of Jews, if you will. And a way to connect them to other #Jews.

23andMe User Data Stolen in Targeted Attack on Ashkenazi Jews

“The company said its systems were not breached and that attackers gathered the data by guessing the login credentials of a group of users and then scraping more people’s information from a feature known as DNA Relatives. Users opt into sharing their information through DNA Relatives for others to see.”
