Wait, you're moving? That's exciting! (But stressful and I'm all for complaining 😅.)

Oh so I can take a look? 😅

Actually, you're right. Upon digging deeper, I see that I can't read everything either. Still, I will take advantage and read what I can.

That's weird. I just gave them my email and I'm suddenly allowed to read anything. I think.

I think if you give them your email (ie subscribe without paying), all the articles are free?

It's perplexing, for sure.

The October 7th pogrom as a non-event on the Western left - Jews, Europe, the XXIst century Since the 7th of October we are appalled by the continuous flow of reactions denouncing Israel and only Israel. We are especially appalled by those that come out of academic institutions, articulated ...

Long but worth reading. (It thoughtfully raises the question of why the Palestinian movement did not experience its anti-tankie moment after October 7.)

Reflecting on October 7th: The Antisemitism Red Alert Warning Won’t Stop Buzzing - Michael Geist Late on Friday, October 6, 2023, I was dozing after a family Sabbath dinner meal when I was suddenly awoken by the continuous buzzing of the Tzofar red alert app on my phone and watch. I had installed...

Two people were killed outside a synagogue in Manchester, England, on Thursday morning in a vehicle ramming and stabbing attack on Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, the police said. Others were injured, including three who were in serious condition. nyti.ms/48JHyFO

“I observe that the most vulnerable includes not only the homeless but also the elderly person and the child who want to use a sidewalk or a city park without tiptoeing through used needles and human faeces...”

Not Eddie. Eddie pics are anti-inflammatory.

Yes, it's a thing, but I suspect my wrinkles have as much to do with age as sun. 🙂

I've found that doctors bemoan "sun damage" a lot. I call it ageing lol.

According to most skin doctors (and at least one nurse practitioner), I think, yes.

Lol, I told my nurse practitioner that I taper off using it in the fall and don't use it at all in deepest winter, and she shook her head in shocked disapproval. But I mean, it's Canada. We can't even make Vitamin D from sunlight in the winter.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.
