My friend’s lovely kid, who is not food-insecure, came home from trick or treating with 3 lbs of rice, which he genuinely does find a delicious treat. So yeah, give to your local food pantry or mutual aid and let’s keep silly holidays silly for everyone.

Them: Hello this is CNN. Up for talking about the NBA betting scandal?
Me: Sure. My take is this all a distraction from Epstein. Also Trump - clearly demented - sees the NBA as an enemy and had the case dropped on opening night to harm the league
Them: We'll talk to the team and get back to you!

As a Gen X kid obsessed with Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson & Prince who had Jazz and Blues playing all around but was drawn to Funk, we immediately identified with D’Angelo and clocked his influences…
He became OUR version. And now, he is one of the ancestors.
Rest in eternal peace.

ICE detained a 30-year-old man in Brookline last week, waiting for hours outside the police station after he was arrested for alleged domestic violence.
It's the third ICE arrest documented here since the start of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

If you're getting ready for Yom Kippur with the posture of,

you need to get your eyes back on your own blue book.
We ALL have been harmed, we ALL are bystanders to harm, and we ALL cause harm.
Tonight and tomorrow is about your work.
Agitate again later.

This is the most vulnerable and honest take I have seen from Jewish clergy.
"Some of you only fault Israel for this situation, and some of you only blame Hamas. But one thing is clear — it isn’t the children of Gaza’s fault."
We can feel brokenhearted for the suffering of the children of Isaac and of Ishmael. We must. - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
A rabbi rejects how expressions of compassion are regarded with suspicion in today's conversations about Israel.
