Hot take: "Sinners" would have been a more coherent and interesting movie if the role the Irish played in it had been played instead by Jews, but it would have also made the movie explicitly vehemently antisemitic on every level so I'm glad they didn't

The correct take on RHCP is that they're a great platform for one of the greatest guitarists alive to do awesome guitar things while jamming with his idiot friends
JOHN FRUSCIANTE: So I can do like five minutes of melodic King Crimson stuff at the end? With a field recording?
ANTHONY KIEDIS: Yeah man absolutely. Sounds incredible. The song is called “Sir Psycho Sexy” by the way.

Actual Muslim organizations in the UK are unequivocally decrying the terrorism in Manchester and mourning the dead without asterisk. As opposed to masturbatory performative Bluesky let's-bomb-Walmart twats who see an opportunity to be edgy.

If your response to a fatal attack on a synagogue outside of Israel-Palestine on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar is to make it entirely about Israel-Palestine, in either direction, consider that you are part of the problem.

Two Jews are murdered for the crime of going to shul on Yom Kippur. Bluesky being.... predictable about it

I feel like politics is sports now. If the Eagles said they’d raise milk to $30 if elected and the Cowboys said they’d make milk free i’d still be like ‘Go Birds, I guess’

Things that are incredibly funny if you know some stuff about Chabad history, from Herbert Weiner's "9 1/2 Mystics"
"Whoa man, I just realized you also could have been The Rebbe how they did decide between you two?"

Remember that Yom Kippur is a day for introspection, not blaming others, so coming up with a new set of al chet's for people to say in which they confess the sins that you want them to confess is not helping yourself or anyone else.

I would like to describe this piece as "an excavation of latent meaning within one of the most important parables in the Hasidic canon" but that makes me sound like a pretentious twerp, so I'm just going to say that I enjoyed the process of writing this.

Gonna start telling people that the antivax movement is a Big Pharma conspiracy. What do you do when the main treatment for something has its patent expire and is thus unprofitable....
As the US hits a 33-year high in measles infections, there is now a "race" to find a treatment for the disease.
One pharma company "is banking on a continuing decline in vaccination rates to fuel a need for measles treatments—and in turn, more investor interest"
