Hey you can memorize and recite a poem even if you’re not in David’s course. And you could do it in any language!

OK, but only if she learns to recite the proper bracha.
Politics is about addition, not subtraction, which is why we should let Marjorie Taylor Greene use our space laser.

“I Thought I Heard Your Voice Just Then” is a new eight-page comic drawn by @jlaguff.bsky.social and written by myself. You can read it below or purchase it on a pay-what-you-want basis on Itch.io (which I recommend, Bluesky compression being what it is):

Ethan Rutherford’s North Sun is so lovely in its weirdness! Also it belongs to a book cluster that has coalesced in my reading life over the last year or so. In my mind, I have titled this cluster “Ships! What Are They Doing?”

(read on for the list)
Well, hey! A certified #WeirdBookWednesday is a finalist for a National Book Award in fiction! If you need a whaling novel with very little whaling & and unspecified pallor of dread woven throughout mundane experiences all told in beautiful, pensive prose, North Sun is your book!

That call and response at the end of Mamdani’s acceptance? All people want is a line to say. All people want is an invitation to participate.

More people should do that more.
