Changing the definition of antisemitism to benefit yourself instead of Jews worldwide is narcissism.
On the left side, Yoram Hazony to Ross Douthat in the NYT, today. (www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/o...)
On the right side, a headline in the Washington Post, also today. (wapo.st/3Mbd9a6)

I had time today so I cleaned my fridge and wow, that thing was gross. It’s a good thing I’m the only person here. But now it’s clean! Yay! Will conquer the microwave tomorrow.

Once again: my dad spent the last 10 years of his life trying to convince us we didn't need hot water for showers or washing dishes. He just didn't want to pay the bill anymore. So he made it a loyalty test. If you love him, you'll agree with him. That's what this is. That's what it always is.
Trump on climate change: "The world was gonna burn up, but it actually got much cooler. It's a little conspiracy. We have to investigate them immediately. They probably are being investigated."

It’s so interesting who is encouraged to unionize and who isn’t. Who gets support and who doesn’t. Also interesting? Who shows support.
Workers at Theorist Media, the team behind popular YouTube channels like The Food Theorists and The Film Theorists, are taking steps to unionize with the Motion Picture Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700) and the Writers Guild of America West! www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
Hollywood Guilds Make Historic Push to Unionize YouTube Content Studio Theorist Media (Exclusive)
The Editors Guild and Writers Guild West are looking to organize more than two dozen workers at the L.A.- and Raleigh-based production company, which has several popular YouTube channels.

Just had the least dramatic interaction with Spectrum ever to get my bill lowered! It's very silly that I have to call every year, but one of the women I spoke to actually told me to put it in my phone to remind me to call next year and check on discounts. But my bill is $60 lower+ higher speeds.

One day, I may learn how I ended up on a text list for land owners in Beaufort, SC, but I will absolutely never be able to entirely get myself off the list, no matter how many times I tell them I have no property to sell.

I know someone who used to tell me we didn’t need a union because we can just negotiate better rates but eventually even her EP-level negotiating power ran out because funding disappeared and she immediately about-faced. Negotiating is not possible when you aren’t in a position of power.
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

I started a can of soda for the first time in several weeks yesterday around 3 PM. Around 5ish I dumped what was left. I think I drank about 3/4 of it? Anyway, I didn’t sleep a wink last night, so I guess that’s it for caffeine in my life. We had a good run!

The call box on my apt building is analog and management has no interest in updating it because the landlady still has her landline. In her defense, reception in our neighborhood isn't great. In LA. I can only imagine rural coverage.
AT&T has been trying to get rid of landlines in California for YEARS because they are expensive and annoying to maintain, with shrinking market share. The people who use them, however, REALLY need them for safety and communication esp in rural areas with limited cell coverage.
They rely on copper landlines for emergencies. AT&T could threaten their lifeline
AT&T is fighting to ease regulations requiring landlines, which cost it $1 billion per year in California. It has spent big on lobbying.

I have done the thing where I call like a grownup and ask questions of the nice people at the insurance company and actually got answers that helped me figure things out instead of just winging it and it will actually save me some money.

Watching the Ken Burns doc. I appreciate how far the team has come since the Civil War doc. Starting the narrative with the indigenous people already here is the correct choice in my humble producer-y opinion.

Terrible, tragic news: they've changed the recipe for the TJ's dark chocolate covered peppermint Jo-Jos and the main taste is some sort of chemical. They're TERRIBLE.

The most important thing to a narcissist is to be loved by everyone. BUT! Because they lack emotional maturity, their perception of "loved" is skewed, so generally, they perceive attention as people loving them. Exceptions: Don't believe whatever they say? Don't love them. Disagree? Don't love them.

I have to run a few errands in the rain tomorrow and it is very distressing. I grew up in FL, so I can drive in the rain, but the rest of y'all? Not so much. Maybe just stay home? Tell your friends to stay home. Everyone stay home! LA STAY HOME! (except for me; I have stuff to do)

Yes! We are all dunking on the guy who's bad with the hammer, of course, but a handyman once told me he was mostly hired by women, not because they couldn't do things, but because they knew the value of their time. Experts get it done fast, amateurs are slow because they use hammers wrong.
2) if you don’t know how to do something, go to YouTube and google “how to nail extra board on fence” and someone with forty years of experience will have a video with five separate methods

Justice for the journalists who don't want to fuck their subjects! I hope they don't get profiled in the NY Times because we don't want to know way too much about them, either.

Progressive commercial generated by AI with Flo providing the VO but not appearing in the ad. I presume the VO paycheck is lower than the acting paycheck, even for commercials. That sucks!!

Everyone else is making good points here, but also, housing is expensive, and generally speaking, immigrants aren't coming here with wads of cash to spend. Either we have to subsidize their healthcare or they are stealing all the housing with their oodles of money. Like, come on dude.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

I think it will become important for anyone running for office to actively verify they are not a pedophile. I mean, it's impossible to know if the pipeline goes Pedophile>Elected or the other way around, but at this point it's clearly one or the other.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

I am still on FB for the groups, but I do a lil scroll sometimes. I just checked my feed. There was one post at the top from someone I know, and then 25 assorted posts from "suggested" pages and ads, and then one more post from someone I know, and then another batch of nonsense. Yeah, that's trash.
