I was listening to שיעורי עיון למחשבֿה־־אידיש and when addressing what Amalek is he broke into לע"ז to say "race is socially constructed."

It's all there in the text. Aḥashverosh being the willing murderer is pshat.

I am loving the (mostly) car-free streets this morning, but I am twice as mad at the non-essential scofflaw deadbeats driving around

The Hebrew word for the Hebrew language in Hebrew literally means "trans" (or "transish")

The despot wears a grimy crown; his consort has a slimy gown; I dread their plan to tie me down and raze our homes in Gotham City

Suspect arrested years after 74-year-old food delivery worker struck and killed in Queens He was arrested in an unrelated crime in Germany, where he served three years in prison. When he was released this week, the NYPD was waiting for him.

HOLY SHIT. This is AMAZING news. They caught the guy who killed the man in my pinned post, Vietnamese immigrant Be Tran. His killer is a Romanian national who had torched his BMW upon killing Tran, fled to Europe where he did a bunch of crimes, did 3 years, then got nabbed.

This is a wonderful idea. When I was young there were no cars parked in City Hall Park, and folks could just walk around like in a park.

The joys of winter cycling. Can I shift? No. Can I stop? Sometimes. Does it beat driving? Always.

Heard a lad earlier talking about ‘Belgian whistles’

“A basic website costs 10k or 25k upwards if you want all the Belgian whistles”

So this happened:
Him: Why are you bringing hatboxes?
Me: because I am bringing hats
Him: Bringing hats in hatboxes? Cool

He was NOT being sarcastic. My work makes so much jury-rigged improvisation necessary that it is a marked characteristic when I use equipment to do the job for which it is made

Highways have no place in modern cities. It's time we replace the West Side Highway in Manhattan

When I was in high school a person asked my where I went to school and I told her and she was genuinely bewildered and asked "Didn't that use to be a very good school?"

Is the MTA making merch with the F M Swap icon cause they should be

this is what I want for automatic weapons. someday I want people to look back and just shake their heads in disbelief at the literal cities of adults and children that we allowed to be brutally murdered.

My device corrected "fasolada" to "gas lads" and now I am afraid I created a violent, right-wing anti-environmental group.

Tired: flat streets

Wired: Speed humps, tables, etc

Inspired: Speed *dips*, because modern clearance and suspension makes taking speed bumps at speed no big deal, but dips still make drivers worry they'll damage their car, and that has the highest level of encouraging compliance
