Sure rile up the people who have *checks notes* a long and noteworthy track record of flipping their shit when they determine their rights are being trodden on
Yes, in New England, Dunks is a right.
Another year, another Purim I won't be able to bake hamentaschen (I used to do 500 in 3 days for my baskets. Now I lack the energy and finances to bake even one batch).
Things taken away from you...your health (mind and body), your friends, your family...is felt the hardest on holidays.
Chag Purim sameach, RAV.
And thank you for this beautiful message.
In the biblical Book of Esther, humans, particularly women, are the heroes. God doesn't even make an appearance. This is our reminder: YOU were put here to make miracles happen. Go forth and do it!
Sounds like someone needs to find a Megilla reading to go to. Who needs a bar when Purim starts tonight?
I am. Im in one of the biggest Jewish areas in the country.
I just don't know anyone who would do that...
I don't know anyone that would.
The plan is to stream, but it's very much not the same 😔
The AI Purim pastries I have seen since coming out if what I thought was a peaceful Shabbat have been wild.
Meanwhile, I really want to go to a Megilla reading this year, but don't have anywhere or anyone to go with. (Being disabled, sick, and isolated is *hard*.)
Sometimes I want to use the period pain simulator for other reasons.
A man claims I am participating in assimilation by being blonde. Accuses me of a non existent nose job. Who died and made him arbiter of a damn thing
The men are back at it again
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, a Holocaust (and Soviet) survivor, told a Jewish journalist in the 70s that fascists could be back in power "tomorrow morning", and the guy thought he was off the wall.
The second Musk announced he wanted to buy the bird app, I deleted my account. People said I was "overreacting". How is it that people didn't see him for who he is when he has been telling the world who he is for over a decade?
I just resent I can't use the word "grok" anymore...
If you’re still on X, even to keep an account as a placeholder, you’re contributing oxygen to a vile and hateful entity run by a vile and hateful man
How could I pass that up?
This video slaps...
Geddy didn't write any of the lyrics. Neil Peart did...but he was very aware Geddy's parents were survivors.
"Angel of Death" by Slayer is about the atrocities of Joseph Mengele.
This got dark fast. Anyway, enjoy the book. I'd love to hear what you think after you read it!
That's just 1° of separation for you as far as I'm concerned!
He went to the same school as Rick Moranis when he was young.
Anyway...his autobiography is amazing if you are looking for something (possibly) different.
Sure, you have excellent comedy, but have you heard of the band Rush?
Seriously though, this is awful, but I'm old enough to remember a time when nearly everyone I knew dreamed of moving to Canada (including myself).
There would be so many things I wouldn't have to explain, and that just would mean everything.

This is perfection.
Just making a moment to have some Jewish joy:
-USA hockey (women) won gold and had Aerin Frankel in goal.
-USA hockey (men) made it to the finals because Quinn Hughes scored OT goal.
-USA hockey (men) won gold after Jack Hughes scored OT goal.
Shout out to Jeremy Swayman.
#FROZENCHOSEN 🥇🏒🥇
I've felt like running up to a mitzvah mobile and yell "I'm Jewish! Now show me how to wrap tefillin" on several occasions...
And now I know what I'll cite if I ever do get that urge. Not that I'll be taken seriously.
R Yehuda HaNasi be like: (even though he was...wrong).
Happy Rosh Hashanah to Asians only
This lives in my head rent free (because I would never charge rent for such a great story).
In 1862, General Ulysses Grant expelled Jews from his military district during the Civil War, a move reversed by President Lincoln. In 2026, Candace Owens praised Grant’s expulsion. And this week, a now ex-member of Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission wouldn’t tell me whether that was antisemitic.
Is the Talmud the new Kabbalah for "new age"...uh...folks?
Old enough to be longing for the days of AOL is wild. (Newsgroups were fun, too, but not moderated and full of all kinds of creeps, depending on where you lurked.)
I will now have the modem sound in my head for a while.
The pearl clutching after "sexually suggestive lyrics and dancing" 🫢
Meanwhile I remember a certain white (and Christian) male ripping a Black woman's costume and exposing her during the halftime show...only to continuously uplifted in the music community while a legend has been...blacklisted 🤔
It's a mystery why they wouldn't run my Super Bowl commercial for ShammAI, the only LLM that tells you that your question is stupid and you should be able to figure this out yourself
