The maga divide summarized: does the gutter racism that is the mortar of our coalition apply to Jews or not? And if it doesn’t do we mean that or are we just pretending for the moment?

MARY: I slammed the screen door, and the first thing he said was he hated being alone, and we weren’t that young anymore. I said, “Get off my porch.” Then he said, “You ain’t a beauty, but hey, you’re all right.” I said, “Get out of my driveway.”

...something I've tried to articulate (unsuccessfully) many times. So I'll try again.

My core premise: everything you need to know about Trump -- his psychology, his likely behavior -- you can glean from watching him talk for, oh, 30 seconds or so. ANY 30 seconds will do. Pick 30 seconds at random.

It isn't a war. If it were, the strikes are still war crimes.

The drugs weren't headed to the U.S.

The people killed were likely poor, low-level smugglers, not drug lords.

Most overdose deaths are from fentanyl. Fentanyl doesn't come from South America.

Everything else Marshall says is correct!
Sen. Roger Marshall defends Hegseth: "Look, we're losing 200 Americans every day to drug poisoning from these drug lords. This is a war. And it's ugly. War is never pretty ... that strike probably saved thousands of American lives."

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

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.)

יש Song Exploder חדש על Take On Me של a-ha שזה כיף בפני עצמו וכיף לראות את הקליפ המקורי

songexploder.net/a-ha

אבל זה גם הזכיר לי את הקליפ הזה של גרסת ה-אנפלגד שמאיר צד אחר של השיר

טוב לאף אחד לא אכפת מה המחשבות של רנדו באינטרנט, אבל שום דבר שראיתי בשנתיים האחרונות לא גורם לי לחשוב ששנייה אחרי שהחטופים חוזרים למישהו בארץ יהיה אכפת מה קורה לפלסטינים. לא יהיה חשבון נפש על מה שעשינו. לא אכפת לאף אחד מה חתמנו ולמה התחייבנו. הכל על הקרח. אם יתחילו שוב להפציץ תוך שבוע לא נשמע פיפס

Feels like there should be a corollary to Betteridge's law, where every time someone says "Imagine if [a Democrat]..." the response should be No!

המחשבה על זה שכל הארץ תהיה באופוריה אם יהיה הסכם שאפשר היה להשיג לפני שנה וחצי עושה לי בחילה. הנזק שנגרם בלתי הפיך. בעיקר לפלסטינים. גם לחטופים ומשפחותיהם. ישראל תהיה מצורעת למשך דור. הסכם כזה או אחר עכשיו לא ישנה את זה. אבל ישראל לא בנויה לחשבון נפש, רק לחגיגות, ואני לא חושב שחשבון נפש יבוא.

הקשבתי שוב לספר "ארגון השוטרים היידי" ומאוד נהניתי הפעם.

אולי כי פחות התרכזתי בעלילה ויותר בכתיבה ובעולם האלטרנטיבי שהוא בונה

ואולי בגלל שהספר מצייר עולם יהודי שאבד, יחד עם איזה תחליף ציונות בטעם גלותי. הפעם הוא נגע בי בדרכים שהוא לא נגע בי בעבר - מן הסתם בגלל המקום שהציונות נמצאת בו כיום
