How do we know which was the true test? The old religions often sacrificed their children, but g-d didn't want A to kill Isaac. The angel told A to stop, before the ram, and A took the angel's word for it; I just looked it up. Who hears g-d now? Would people listen to the merciful angels? 2/2

Here's what terrifies me: the new religious right thinks that Abrah(a)m achieved g-d's favor by being willing to sacrifice Isaac. What if Abe had been so narrow-minded as to see the ram and think, 'I can't use the ram, g-d said to kill my son.' He needed to turn and show mercy on his son. 1/2

The boy who kept getting transferred from school to school didn't pretend to be trans. He just raped the girls in the bathrooms. A guy who wants to rape will not be deterred by a skirt on the door.

Y'ALL, I'VE GOT IT. I haven't read all the literature, so maybe old news, but Autism, having an Autistic brain, is a condition, not a pathology. I have always preferred "Autistic" bc it's the way the brain works, NOT A DISEASE, but a sweet person once told me folks wd use the term as the "R" word.

The question we need to ask is not what is wrong with Stephen Miller, but what happened to him? I mean, seriously, who abused him or mocked him or made him miserable that made him go from protecting the children around him to using concentration camp techniques (but w/o the good records keeping)?

My first thought on the Ted Cruz attempt at a NJ accent (other than wow, he really wants to be re-elected), was, of course, 'Don't quit your day job' but wait -- had to reverse it to 'Please quit your day job, just don't count on acting as a fall-back.'

There was (is?) a building just off the south end of Central Park, where folks bought condos bc it had the 'T&u^^p' name on it; in the late 90s the residents sued and the name was removed from the side of the bldg. No workmen would fix anything in a T bldg bc they would have to sue to get paid.

My theory is that Stephen Miller's family must have been on a ship that was turned away during the Holocaust. He is now on a mission to destroy America in revenge. The GOOL (Giant Orange Oompah Loompah) has found his very own Roy Cohn. G-d protect us.

a perfect comparison. apples to crapapples.
We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.
Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

Y'all, I may have to watch the new Naked Gun; I purely love me some Pamela Sue Anderson. She is decently talented, and very, very skilled. VIP is one of my all time favorite shows. I bet the other actors learned a lot more from her than they expected to. The obvious jokes are in my timeline, too.

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

While folks follow the shiny Epstein (so tired; everyone knows Trump is all up in there, he said so himself. Giuffre said she was recruited from his house/club): WHERE ARE THE FULL JAN 6 TAPES, unredacted, and keep the bit at the end where Rep. Liu was the only Congress member to help clean up?

My deep, heart-wrenching dread is that 'they' feel they just didn't break enough heads, that the hoses were turned off too quickly, and that it's a good thing if black people are scared of dogs. If that doesn't make you ugly cry, what happened to you that cost you your soul? g-d bless us, every one.

My favorite Manhattan memory is being in Whole Foods when Carl Reiner was wheeling Mel Brooks around, introducing him to the store and its wonders. Highlight x1000. They were adorkable.
Mel Brooks turned 99 today. Think of all the great laughs that guy has given you. 😎

How do I tag Marc Elias? Someone please suggest that he use all these great attorneys who got fired from the DOJ or who left the big sissy law firms and have them do some of the running around. They can Zoom or whatevs to get his admittedly BEST advice, he's the GOAT, but physically he's only one.

I have scoured the US Constitution; no incorporation of the 'truths we hold to be self-evident'. Bad news for Liberty wonks. Also bad news for 'right to Life' folks. Because they're supposed to be immutable in America. But the Roe overturn 'because it's not in the Constitution' spits on Article 9.
