I’m starting to remember why grading hard copy essays is superior to Canvas.

The King and the Pretender

…and on the night of the 2026 correspondents dinner, the press was his.

“After conceding, Orban officially changed his first name to Loser.” 😉

Who’s up for tacos?

Maybe we should take it seriously because fascism kills.

I’m watching “Nuremberg” and Netflix warns there is “sensitive content” about “smoking.” The fact that this refers to cigarettes, not people, seems so oddly prissy and twisted to me.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Immigration is a resonant theme of Jewish life in the U.S. So it’s no surprise about 100 rabbis are headed for Minneapolis to protest the ICE raids there. religionnews.com/2026/01/21/t...

Important read.

Anyone else having trouble sleeping?

Speaking ill of Rob Reiner, now that should cost you your job

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Yeah, me too.

… and on this day, the name #Cuomo was never heard again in the Empire (State) and the ossified and monetized Democratic Party shuddered as it realized that for everyone, the future was 🌹.

If you are on EST and are still watching, you are creating the karma for a #BlueJays win. #WorldSeries

RIP Mr Redford.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

If the Canadians can’t keep their smoke on their side of the border, we will raise their tariffs rates 267%! Thank you for your attention in this matter. #tariffs #Canada #smoke

Perfection. R.I.P.

Right now, #BlackSabbath is being played more that at any other moment in history. #RIPOZZY #Ozzy

I’m old enough to remember when they asked actual historians this question.

Phone lines at Ron Johnson's Milwaukee office are open if you're a constituent and you're so inclined. We really need every Senator to say how unacceptable this is.

63,555 days later, same vibes🇺🇸

Note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. military: If directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, & it won’t be here either. Your oath is to the US Constitution—not to a 34X convicted felon.

The ADL is actively contributing to the danger white Christian nationalism and authoritarianism poses to American Jews. Jonathan Greenblatt is weak on fascism. It’s time to disband the ADL.

"Sure, technically, I’m a part-time lecturer and not a professor, but seeing as how no one in my family gets that, a roving gang of far-right street thugs won’t request my full job title and last pay stub before bashing in my skull with a bat."

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

We are underreacting.
