Watching season one of True Detective for the first time. This show absolutely would not work without McConaughey. Highest Value Over Replacement Actor performance I've ever seen.

Apparently they now make Zalman Shazar action figures?

I'm a sucker for a guy who seems to lurk in the background of every interesting Orthodox Jewish thinker of the 20th century, so yes, I did purchase the little guy

"Well, I guess these really were just innocent Jews, not those bad kind," say various people in Marisa's mentions. I bring news: It's not actually acceptable to murder random Zionists either (or anybody else you think holds an ideology you disagree with).

Perhaps that’s why you acted like you did, when she died, you, unstable as water, went up to your father’s bed, the very bed she and your mother had used your gift as a bargaining chip for, what an insult it must have been to you that the gift you had brought her in from the fields had been traded for a privilege that she, it turns out, was actually third in line for, behind a maidservant, one last attempt from beyond the grave to avenge herself upon you for having the temerity to be born. You broke your banks, you flooded, you drowned, you failed, you were rejected.

And you must have cried a great and bitter cry.

Have you but a single blessing, father? Bless me, me also, Father!

Is that why they call him Yaakov?
