Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it

There are many great responses, but why has no one mentioned “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”? It’s so tightly written with an absolutely brilliant caustic sense of humor.
in your opinion, completely subjective, no metrics and no judgment, what are the best written movies of all time? I don't care if you have never seen a screenplay in your life, just which story itself is the most moving and complete and perfect to you?

Nearly every Fri before Shabbat, I tweet:

May we rage when we must and rest when we can.

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

Annual reminder:

Die Hard is about using impossibly limited resources to defend a tower from foreign invaders.

Die Hard is a Hanukkah movie.

Around 1500yrs ago, the Talmud my students study addressed the topic of incels and experts demanding redistribution of sex. Somehow this source went viral on twitter when I first posted it.
