Karaites are not a were (there are probably around 50,000 of them today), and they aren't biblical literalists. Karaites still interpret the Torah. They do not try to read the most obvious meaning out of it (which is still interpretation), they try to read what would have been obvious in Antiquity (which is also interpretation). Community leaders may often be Ḥakhamim (scholars) who are consulted regarding the Torah, and in the past compiled volumes of different interpretations (most have been lost). However, the only exaltation they have, to my understanding, is as scholars, filling an advising role. Every Jew in Karaite Judaism is encouraged to study the Torah and interpret it. All interpretations are held to the same scrutiny. The interpretations I've read from Karaites can be very satisfyingly logical (such as the "Tekhelet is woad" argument).

They reject that the Talmud is equal to or above the Torah, and I've seen a few different opinions from Karaites about what that means. One person I've bumped into said you shouldn't consult the Talmud at all, but the stance on the official site for American Karaites is as follows: "Rejection of the authority of the Talmud does not mean that the Karaites consider it unlawful to consult it or to rely on it; it means only that they deny its heavenly origin and regard it as an original work of the Sages in interpretation of the written Torah, and therefore subject to the shortcomings inherent in any handiwork of mortal men uninspired by heaven." Not to be controversial or anything, but I agree with them on that point. Further, that which directly contradicts the Torah is to be discarded as a custom, which is a contention with some Talmudic interpretations.

The rejection of the Talmud wasn't done for shits and giggles- it was likely a political choice reacting to the introduction of Islam, or in reaction to the consolidation of power among rabbis and how difficult the Talmud and additional interpretations risked becoming to learn, preserve, and transmit. There's a reason Sa'adiah Gaon was praised because “Were it not for Sa’adiah, the Torah might have disappeared from the midst of Israel", and it is notable that he was also a major opponent of Karaites. We don't actually know, because figuring out the beginning of Karaite Judaism is hard- some say it was a dispute over the Exilarch position (which Karaites say is made up, and some contemporary sources lack mention of), we have a document from 641 (i.e. the previous century) mentioning Karaites in Egypt, some think they were connected to Philo, others to some other group. But you don't break off from a major sect of your religion for fun!

Further calling Karaites biblical literalists invites one to think of Christian biblical literalists, which really isn't the case. For example in some ways Karaite women have better protections than Rabbinic women- they can initiate divorces! And if necessary, a court could issue a divorce order by itself. Fundamentalist can be a more accurate term, but still implies something false- Karaites did not arise in reaction to modernism, secularism, liberalism, etc. Most religious scholars will tell you fundamentalism is a modern phenomenon. Karaites are a decidedly, very old community. Further, "fundamentalist", in most cases, is being used as a pejorative for Karaites, not intended as an accurate description. People who don't use eithef of these terms also like to use the word "extremist".

#cipher talk #There are definitely problems inside of Karaite Judaism because every group has problems but the utter lack of curiosity #And self assuredness that a community which has lasted for at least 1300 years and possibly more must be terrible and such entirely #There have been dozens of Jewish sects including ones that existed around the time Karaites start popping up in the historical record #None of them have lasted as long as the Karaites (usually because they were messianic sects and not in the modern sense #In the sense that their leaders claimed to be the Messiah or prophets and often promised to create an independent Jewish state #Or something else similar)#If Karaites were as horrible as how people talk about them people would just do something different like what happened with the other sects #It's a very annoying and kind of despicable attitude whenever I see a Hewish person say this about another culture of Jews #I've seen people say it about Sephardic culture as well as Karaites- you're dead roll over and assimilate to my thing

I am forever mad at the ytw demographic. They have the power to stop these shit policies going into effect in states. They have the power to keep white supremacy out of the WH. How do they use that energy instead? Fight over fucking Stanley fucking CUPS. Hews are just like some black men in America : always a disappointment and a weak link in the chain (not a racist comment btw just a play on the phrase a team is as good as its weakest link)

White womenfolk never cease to amaze us with why they are called HEWS!

I don’t gaf about a Stanley cup, fight for equality instead. The Stanley cups will probably still be here, but your rights probably won’t

Sidenote : I’m also not knocking the Stanley cups either and if you want one for your birthday, anniversary , Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, heck you want it because you want it good for you.

Sports and political journalist Keith Olbermann decided to let his racism show on Twitter.

The 64 year old tweeted “What a f**king idiot” in response to 20 year old LSU player Angel Reese pointing to her ring finger after winning the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship.

This Hew, wearing her “Handmaid’s Tale” green, doing her speech from the kitchen, as a Republican symbol of where women belong, with the shaky trembling voice, Karen white tears, and psychotic laugh, screams a Stepford Wives, Cult! Hewish behavior and psychotic behavior

and get this she says sexual assault is the worst thing that can happen to a woman while encouraging Americans to vote for a convicted sexual predator.

so basically she talks about how traumatic it is for women who were victims of rape but we should give tfg who has been accused of being a rapist multiple times, another four years to be president?

I have heard some rebuttals from both republicans and democrats in past state of the unions and yet this is the worst

There’s a special place in hell for women who support a rapist and if hell was a hotel (which is not) they’ll be right next door to the rapists

Oh yeah I've always sort of felt bad for Dianna in the roles she's given. Not just in Glee, in mostly everything I've seen her in she's been a shiksa and there's a huge emphasis on it. It's strange. And as for the specifics in Glee, I get that Diana was casted last minute and for s1 that had already been written. Must've been uncomfortable for her. But then the way they kept on that idea of her being a western beauty, specially in BTW, was just really strange.

+ (because of a character limit) The treatment of Diana's appearance v Leah very much always felt like stereotypes carved into RIB's mind; that there was only one way for someone to look Jewish. Must've been very uncomfortable for both of them

I can only guess how much it must suck to have her heritage be erased. And sure you could call it pretty problems but come on she's been cast as a goy in a cast full of Jewish people, what's that about.

No one can pretend Dianna Agron doesn't remind them of a marble statue of a Greek goddess (or something idk who said that) but this very rigid view people have of Hewish characteristics is weird. I can only imagine that it was uncomfortable for both. And what the fuck was up with pretending Lea Michele isn't a beautiful woman

#there is a huge emphasis like what is up with that #nonglee asks #only cause it straddles the line #dianna agron #anon

The time-lapse telescope that will transform our view of the universe

https://sciencespies.com/space/the-time-lapse-telescope-that-will-transform-our-view-of-the-universe/

The time-lapse telescope that will transform our view of the universe

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will scan the whole southern sky every three nights. From short-lived supernovae to alien megastructures, here are some of the fleeting cosmic phenomena it could capture

Space 24 August 2022

By Stuart Clark

Gilles and Cecilie

IN 1967, astronomer Jocelyn Bell Burnell was searching the night sky for quasars, super-bright sources of light in the centre of some galaxies, when she spotted something unusual. It was a pulsing radio signal from space that seemed too regular to have a natural source. With her supervisor Antony Hewish, she half-jokingly dubbed it LGM-1 – short for little green men.

After finding more of these signals, they turned out to be coming from pulsars, dense, rapidly rotating stars that send regular bursts of energy our way. No little green men, after all. But the discovery demonstrated that astronomers need an open mind.

Now, this is truer than ever. In July 2023, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile will start studying the universe. It will scan the entire southern sky in an unbelievably rapid three nights, then start over. For 330 nights a year, over 10 years, Rubin will produce the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). It will change how we see the universe, especially our view of the mysterious objects that are pulsing, blipping or otherwise changing in unexpected ways.

Such signals are buried in a tapestry of electromagnetic waves that hurtles our way every night. Until now, we could only unpick the most obvious of threads. But armed with Rubin’s telescope and the power of artificial intelligence, we will see more detail than ever before. Some of it will help us unravel current mysteries, while other aspects will be entirely unexpected. The next time someone writes “LGM” next to a strange signal, they might not be doing it with their tongue in their cheek. …
