Broadway Weekly on ‘November 4’: "Danny Paller (Music and Lyrics) and Myra Noveck (Book) tell the story of Rabin's last month in this engrossing musical... 2025 desperately needs the wisdom of 1990s Rabin who wanted Israel to put the possibility of peace ahead of the ineradicability of violence."

If you go to see it, if you bring your family and friends, if you spread the word so that others see it, you will help foil his heinous plan. So you get a great movie and a strike against the government in the same deal

More than that: Culture Minister Miki Zohar is upset that state support for the arts is going to thoughtful films like this. His new formula for state funding for cinema is linked to commercial success in Israel - based on his belief that the public doesn't want to see films like "The Sea."

This has always seemed like the key issue. Bezos and Lewis, understandably, want the Post to be profitable. But the actions they've taken with Opinion (killing the Kamala endorsement, firing their top talent, etc) have consistently undermined that strategy. bsky.app/profile/dave...
Will Lewis gets up every day asking: How can I get more suburban DC readers to cancel their subscriptions? It's called grindset and you wouldn't understand.
In a nearly illiterate editorial, WaPo defends Trump's ballroom project, without revealing the fact that the paper's owner, Jeff Bezos, is a principal funder of the project. Shameful conduct all around. bsky.app/profile/bgru...

Some highlights from one of the founding documents of the Republic, the Declaration of Independence, 250 years old next summer. ‘He’ being George iii:

“He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people.”

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
