"The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself." George Will, folks. wapo.st/4pg1HJa 🎁🔗

Let me get this straight: we trained this guy to be an elite killer, abandoned his country to the Taliban, isolated him, arbitrarily banned him from working and so left his family unsupported. I don’t know if there’s any more efficient way of producing a mental health crisis outside of torture.

Oh @rianjohnson.bsky.social played all innocent "I'm not doing a muppet thing with Knives Out" he knew HE KNEW

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Wholesome masculinity: my wife mentioned to her online gaming buddies we're planning to buy a catio. Three of the guys decided this would be a fun challenge, spent two weeks researching and designing a custom catio, and are going to travel in from out of state to build it together.

Great essay by @sorayachemaly.bsky.social. Reminds me of when I was a Co-EP on a popular TV show and was asked to rewrite another writer's script over the weekend. I turned it in to the EP on Sunday night and the next morning the EP stopped me. "Great work," he said. "But I'm gonna tell Dave... 1/

They were 8 and 11 years old

You’ll never guess how the IDF decided to talk about killing these two kids, 8 and 11 years old, in its official statement

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

With all due respect to the Maccabeats, KPop Demon Hunters is about a woman who triumphs over the forces of evil by publicly embracing her hidden, secret identity. It's *obviously* a Purim story.

I named my fists Troilus and Cressida because they're rarely produced, lackluster, and mostly just offer a lesson about the futility of violence.

Here is a color version. This is a bit of a departure from my usual colorized calligraphy works - it has much more of a "mosaic" feel.

These 4 bits of dialogue, one comic monologue, one serious monologue, and two back and forths, all on the same subject - mortality - immaculate writing

Great my instacart guy grabbed me a golden apple with "to the fairest" inscribed on it even tho I clearly said not to get me any golden apples that could start a huge land war

I think the corollary that a lot of people miss about "write what you know" is that *you have the power to know more things.* Research and talking to people are a central part of writing!

The one time in high school I made a non-musical cast list, our director told me that I'd gotten the part (Poppy in Noises Off) because he didn't trust anyone else who auditioned to break real glass onstage safely. I didn't question it then, but as an adult...why the heck was *I* allowed to do that?

incredible quote lol

"We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know the word for it. Before we know that there are words. Out we come, bloodied and squalling, with the knowledge that for all the points of the compass, there's only one direction. And time is its only measure." BDE. One of the greats.

I grew up in a "hakol" shul, have been attending a "hameitim" shul for 15+ years, and now the shul I teach Hebrew at switched from "hameitim" to "hakol" last year. What comes out of my mouth during the G'vurah these days is an absolute coin toss.

Israeli soldiers are suspected of executing two Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, after video of the alleged incident emerged following an operation to arrest militants. The footage, which first went viral on Palestinian and other Arabic media on Thursday, shows Israeli troops surrounding

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

The "reporter" lady fucking sources and running catch and kill ops is a huge part of the issue with journalism but so is the corrupt sack of shit ex who knew about all this and said nothing till he felt personally betrayed and is now tossing out tidbits in planned instalments to have you pay him

A bill to legalize the execution of Palestinians represents an effort to institutionalize revenge and erase all remaining limits on state violence.

It’s been 60 yrs since Arlo Guthrie was arrested in Massaschusetts. You may have heard the story.👮🏻‍♂️ Guthrie reflects on his tale becoming the (unofficial) official song of Thanksgiving & on the Guthrie Center's 20th annual free Thanksgiving dinner in Great Barrington www.boston.com/news/environ...

Is it good for the Jews? What kind of question is that? Nothing is good for the Jews.

I had such a weird relationship with this game. On the one hand, I adored it. On the other, the ant lion and the spider both *terrified* me. The manual was also great. Basically a textbook about ants.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

BREAKING: Judge rules Lindsey Halligan's appointment was not valid, thus, she had no authority to present the James Comey or Letitia James indictments and the indictments are dismissed without prejudice.

The important context left out of most western reporting on the region is that in Israel, "terrorist" is a racial slur
