25th February, I spent too much of the day navigating antisemitic content online. People are so mean and it feels like some people find satisfaction in being hateful. I tried reasoning with an antisemitic person but obviously that was a losing endeavour.
Because I keep walking past extremism idolising graffiti I wanted to know what laws are in palace and I looked up if we actually have functioning laws that protect citizens against hate speech and against people calling for violence against them. What I found was disappointing. A deep lack of clarity that would condem hateful actions.
Under California Penal Code Section 404.6 PC, it is unlawful to incite a riot, even if the defendant does not participate in the riot or actually commit a violent act as part of the resulting riot.

It doesn’t seem like much, not enough for sure. Generally it was a day that I lost to the endless myriads of the internet and I didn’t feel terribly good about anthing by the time the day came to an end.
On a more positive note I watched the entire interview with Noah Kagan and Marina Mogilko and as much as I like Noah, I wish that someone would talk to him about bodylanguage. I wish he could have wriggled and picked himself less. Between the constant wriggling, picking and the moustache I was seriously distracted.
Is this too mean of me to make a comment on? I just really like it when people hold and rpesent themselves well. (I know, look who is talking! I’m so flawed…)
Just because he does this interview publicly does it give me permission to be this kind of critical? I hope it was clear that I DO appreciate his business accumen and his Youtube channel and everything he shares in interviews. I know that I can just look away, but it was a video, so the natural response is to watch and be more present than I would be if I didn’t give it my full attention.
However, I would be absolutely mortified if someone made a public comment abour the back of my head where my hair has a double crown and it almost always looks like I don’t take care of myself. Seomeone please send me to a Korean hair salon, I wish I could get a Korean perm*.
*(In case this is an entirely new concept to you: Korean perms are often done to lift the hair close to the scalp / roots and help hair that is always parting in an unpleasing way to fall in a more pleasing one.
