My daughter was assigned a pro-Palestinian propaganda video in history class this week, a bunch of celebrities and left-wing radicals parroted the lie that 14,000 Gazan babies would die within 72 hours because of Israel... [1/2]

Anyone else feel like they were watching the Zombie Apocalypse version of Helm's Deep? #TheLastOfUs #TheLastOfUsSeason2

So Merry likes to do this thing where he comes over and paws me gently and then I give him pets. I finally caught it on video, but we happened to be watching the episode of Gilmore girls where the great grandmother dies and Lorelei is in charge of the clothing and ...well... Sound on #CatsOfBluesky

This is why Jews feel safer in Israel, a country at war, with missiles falling daily, than in Europe, the US or Australia.

These aren't the actions of a mastermind and there's no real plan here. It's just morons smashing up everything because they liked the last century much more than this one and they overestimate how much Americans are willing to suffer in order to say the N word again

Watching MAGA people who literally ran a voting campaign on egg prices and inflation twist themselves into pretzels about why massive tariffs are GOOD for the wallets of everyday Americans is... a trip.

If you haven't heard anything about the unfathomably couragous anti-Hamas protests in Gaza right now, you should probably update your information diet to include outlets and influencers who do a better job telling you what's going on.

That episode of Severance could have been an e-mail.

If anyone (I doubt it) is interested in the other perspective of settlements that were the subject of "No Other Land", which to be honest, is a phrase more applicable to Israelis than Palestinians, but that's besides the point:

The truth about ‘No Other Land’ - JNS.org
The Oscar-nominated documentary film is a polemic of Palestinian grievance against Israel. Expect to be agitated, not educated.

For the record, I have serious issues with the Congestion Pricing in NYC and how it targets people who are ALREADY paying a ton of tolls/fees and don't have good public transportation alternatives.... but Trump unilaterally cancelling it because he sees himself as King? No. Just No.

Schmigadoon! Live was worth the trip to DC. A pure joy-bomb in a time when we all REALLY need it. We also got to meet @cincopaul.bsky.social , who was very kind despite my kids and I basically fan-girling over his talent. And, I'll say it again, We will crowd-fund Season 3!

I think this is spot on.
Two things that are true at once:

The Gaza ceasefire deal is largely the one Biden negotiated in May.

Trump got it over the finish line.

What changed? Hamas knew it wouldn't get a better deal under Trump, and Israel's far-right saw it might get bigger prizes, like West Bank annexation, from him.

Just impulse-bought some of the last tickets available to Schmigadoon Live on Feb 1st in Washington DC, including a hotel because we live in friggin' NJ. This is not like me, but Life is short, right?

Teeny's rope glimmers with embers, about to break.

Suddenly, the flame begins to move away from her, as she cries out, "No!"

From the jury bench, Genevieve pockets her wand, her Gust of Wind spell complete

For the last time, she had spun Teeny

Talking to my mom this week about polio. In the 1950s, the polio virus terrified American families. She said: “Everybody was scared to death of catching it! When we went to the beach if there was a little pool of water our parents wouldn’t let us go near it!” 🧵/x
