The lead actress is a lawyer. Or trying to be.

It’s so surreal seeing prominent right-wing figures—an influential presidential advisor, the last campaign’s biggest donor, etc.—call for violence, the GOP president lie and stoke violence, every Dem officeholder condemn it, and mainstream media treat those as the same, or the Dem reaction as worse.

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.

But at some point could you please tell me why Sukkot is about dragons? I get the plant-sex-fertility part, that’s basically p’shat.

And the test was how long it would take Job to snap and curse out God for the unfairness of it all.

"WERE YOU THERE WHEN ZEBRAS GOT MADE??? NO???

So why would you think you have any idea why any of this works, little stupid tiny squishy puny human???"

That's pretty much the whole biblical theology of suffering in a nutshell

…slavery?

Ben Gvir is also Iraqi. I know that’s not Levantine but come on.

Jaw-dropping way for the Times to describe someone who hasn’t been heard from for a week

“I’m so glad to be back with you the voters and not in a workplace that passed a rule specially prohibiting me from peeing” seems reasonable tbh. Hard to read it as a lack of empathy surrounding the militarization of policing. But you were there I wasn’t.

If Waffle House changed their logo I would be upset.

The disagreement seems to be about Jesus's status and abilities, not about the laws of Shabbat. And Jesus's response seems to be "don't close your eyes to a miracle that happened before you."

What's confounding to me is that in the story, from Jesus's perspective he did not violate the Sabbath. He didn't administer a medicine or a bandage; he performed a miracle. The Pharisees' objection is basically "we don't think you performed a miracle, so you must have provided medicine." 1/2

Your presumption that legalism is incompatible with the “meaning” of the Sabbath is what’s antisemitic. Interpreting and living according to God’s law is at the core of what it means to be a Jew. Disagreement about what is or is not allowed is holy!

Also this. My goodness.

If you're wondering, this is the nakedly antisemitic part:

How do you accidentally bomb a hospital?

Truly the dumbest possible timeline.

CEO is a woman. Woke is when women decide things.

I just want one discourse cycle that isn’t “things were better when I was a child than they are now that I have a mortgage payment”

Resolved: symphonies have too much dynamic range to make them good background music at work.

Apocalypse indicator: Skittles are now kosher.

Happy to discuss offline.

In theory yes. In practice, we are putting our oldest in private school.
