I'm going to tell my favorite story again about reflecting the certainty of beliefs back at people who don't expect it.
A friend was one of the few Jews on faculty at a North Dakota University. Every year, his colleague in religious studies would invite him to come to his religious studies class...

It feels very appropriate that the 8th night lines up with the shortest day of the year this year. We’re done adding light to our menorahs and now the world can keep adding light with us, a little more each day! (Sorry southern hemisphere)

Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice justice and freedom demand
Light one candle for the wisdom to know when the peacemaker's time is at hand
Light one candle for the strength that we need to never become our own foe
Light one candle for those who are suffering, pain we learned so long ago

Along that note: I updated my Kekedem (renew our days of old) listing to include more options (including a tie-dye crop hoodie!!)
100% of proceeds go to the Transgender Law Center (Bonfire sends them a check, I never touch the money)

Full on neo-Nazi conspiracy theories from the president tonight — the very same invasion and replacement conspiracy theories that have fueled a cycle of deadly violence targeting so many communities including immigrants, Jews, Latinos, the Black community, Muslims, and more.
Trump’s primetime diatribe against immigrants is straight up unvarnished Nazi stuff

Let's take a minute to discuss how hard it was to find pictures of rats that looked even remotely menacing. The stock photographers will not be caught taking pictures of rats that make them look scary. The shark photographers could learn a thing or two.

Trump doesn't have this authority.
States are filling a void left by the federal government's failure to hold AI companies accountable.
But after those companies donated millions to Trump's campaign, his inauguration fund, and his ballroom, Trump is doing their bidding. This cannot stand.

Let's take it a step further, what if we got ALL Americans to join one HUGE collective, all 340 million of us, could you IMAGINE the collective bargaining power we would have? It would put Costco, GM, and Toyota to shame combined!

Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This is one of my favorite Taskmaster things ever and a great example of what raises it from a good show to a great show. There are so many clever and just very impressive little touches that are so go easy to unnoticed. From set design to music choices it all just works to elevate the whole show.
In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.
