I think we all have to ask ourselves what we would do if Zohran left his wife to be with Olivia Nuzzi. I would learn the clarinet - I feel like that instrument would be able to express what I felt

"wow, look who's decided to join us" also devastating to a deeply depressed kid who's managed to drag themselves out of the hole in an effort to find comfort in socialization
I think about this a lot.

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin.

Here's the video of it running.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

You know what is a weird thing I miss about regular TV seasons?

Obligatory seasonal holiday episodes.

Like, no one dropping 8 episodes in July is going to give you an unhinged Halloween ep, a totally inappropriate murder on Christmas ep, and probably some weird Valentine's Day nonsense.

so much of the Bible takes place in Egypt and yet there's not a single mummy attack during any of those arcs, in case you were still under the illusion that prophets care about what the fandom wants

I wish people defended smeared victims of sexual violence the way they defend problematic male candidates for office

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality.

Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

in defense of literal Boomers/Silent Generation folk getting their brains cooked on Facebook and now commercials with AI — not only did the technology come about *remarkably* quickly on the timescale of a 70+ year old life, a lot of the details making it obvious it's fake aren't clear with bad eyes

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something
