I hear he’s even going to require something called al-jabr in later grades. Horrifying.
Breaking News: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is going to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals.
The madrasa indoctrination is starting very early.

Part of me wants to go on a rant about what Trump’s tastes in musicals says about him and his deep insecurities/desire to be seen as high class and cultured by a specific NYC set all while TOTALLY missing the point of the actual shows.
The larger part of me refuses to think that much about him.

Seen a lot of people calling the Steam Machine the GabeCube, as is right and good, but there is another missed opportunity name: The Black Box.

Saw a Broadway show tonight and I feel alive again.

This has been on my mind all evening. The Senate vote does not end the shutdown, but it DOES force the House into session to do THEIR vote... which means that waiting reps can be seated, which means that needed vote is seated.
The ONLY way this "deal" (taken with several grains of salt) ends the shutdown is if it's identical to the house version.
The alleged "cave" by the GOP staff regurgitators at Axios is nowhere close to the house bill.
Which means it forces Johnson to convene the house to vote on it.

On the one hand, I’m upset I’m about to miss one of my oldest friend’s wedding because of political BS. On the OTHER hand, the person getting married is my One Republican Friend*, so it kinda serves him right.

This isn't the point at ALL of this, but this is the first time I've realized VA has both a Prince and a King William county.

I used to work for Feeding America.
Another bonus to donating money is they can buy things they can’t have donated, like milk.

Find your local food bank here.
Donating food is great, but donating money is better if you can. That way they can purchase in bulk (cheaper that way), buy what is most needed, and save time sorting/ inspecting.

Re-reading the Protector of the Small quartet because it’s the kind of comfort read I need right now and there are so many moments that have made me tear up in a way they never would have before, or moments that hit with more force because of what they are.

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.)
