I admit to a bias in that I assume every Sikh in the world is a stellar person.
(It's only because every Sikh I've met [only a few dozen] has been a stellar person.)
(It's only because every Sikh I've met [only a few dozen] has been a stellar person.)
The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"
Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.
No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

No, I'm not referring to Shylock, though I'm willing to argue that his Venice is a dystopia FOR Jews, if you need that done

Paying close attention to Bride of Frankenstein led me to FINALLY identifying this song which I have known well (but not the name of) since circa 1990.

In our last month of Disney+ I finally watched Pixar's WIN OR LOSE. I hadn't even heard of it until a Pixar employee told me many of them think it's the best thing they've ever done. I don't know about that, but it's ambitious visually and in its writing. An easy recommendation.
