"That which is hateful to you, do not do to another; that is the entire Torah, and the rest is its interpretation. Go study." - Hillel, from Shabbat 31a

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

This will get a fraction of the attention that Zohran Mamdani got for calling Netanyahu a war criminal.

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

He will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"

Happy Birthday to Roscoe Mitchell! One of the most artistically ruthless (in the best way imaginable) musicians of all time.

Nate Silver thinking (in 2022) that this guy could someday be the Democratic presidential nominee is the gift that keeps on giving.

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

Musician is one absurd and hard road to travel, but the rewards are so sweet. Now, most of the rewards are all the things "money can't buy." I love being rich in all those things! And I'd take some money too if it's available. But really, the connections music creates are the best.

"Music is spiritual. Music is certainly way up there on that level. That's one of the things that has attracted me to music is that all of the possibilities of things that can happen." Happy Birthday Roscoe Mitchell born August 3, 1940

100%!!! Incredible run of albums. The band is on fire on all 3. And to learn that @planetoffinks.bsky.social, writer of the awesome Alice Isn't Dead (my first favorite podcast from way back) among many others is a Klezmatics fan makes me very happy!!!

What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

Situation was apparently more extensive than we thought. Our podcast also went rogue and is spreading our stories in audio form. We continue to investigate how it managed to escape our sandbox, but suspect that this modern RSS technology is exhibiting signs of awareness. The industry is concerned.

Israel's government doesn't want to protect American Jews. It wants to use us.

Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.

It's an easy mistake people make with this song to think you sing the first syllable of the chorus long i.e. "Fe-eh-ral" but when you listen again, it's clearly "Fer-ra-al hogs." Interesting choice on H&O's part!
