Well. My brother bought me a $20 scratch off lottery ticket for Christmas. I won $100. Not bad, honestly. 😊

Rabbi Ari Hart, the Imam at the boys’s Mosque, and Rabbi Hodi

"The Jerusalem Talmud teaches that the Jewish people are obligated to comfort the mourners of our people and of all people because of darchei shalom - the paths of peace. Today, a group of rabbis of us went to the funeral of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a six year old Muslim boy who was killed in his home by his depraved landlord because he was Palestinian and Muslim. This picture is with the imam of the mosque where the funeral was held. We met with the Imam, heard from the father, and stood with the boy's community as they mourned this horrific loss. We witnessed the pain. We expressed our shock and condemnation of the attack. We wept. I can't say that it was simple to be there. These are not simple times. But the murder of a six year old because of his faith and his identity is not complicated. It is a heinous crime. And that's why we went today. These days it really feels like the world has l These days it really feels like the world has lost its way. But I can't give up on trying, yearning,

Get your Kleenex out.

A group of Chicago area Rabbis attended the funeral of Wadea Al-Fayoume, the six year old Palestinian-American boy who was brutally murdered by his landlord due to his ethnicity and religion.

Rabbi Ari Hart explains why the Rabbis attended the funeral in the screenshot below.

been trying a cold shower morning routine this week... let me tell you, nothing wakes you up more than the feeling you're gonna die

I just keep thinking about how bonkers it is that Israel is bullying Gigi Hadid on Instagram. Imagine a nuclear power tagging you on Instagram, accusing you of hating Jewish babies or whatever and then saying "we see you." That is so deeply fucked up

Everyone saying “this is how the mafia works!!” is wrong. The mob actually takes care of problems for you as part of their protection rackets because they have a reputation to maintain.

Take that, sci-fi authors! I don't recall any of you mentioning that in our future dystopia!

I hate how many AI art images are showing up in my visual reference searches. I'm not just looking for "images", I'm looking for art that was made at a historical moment to connect me to other human beings and their values and ideas! God damn it, art is more than an image, more than an artifact!

"Sorry I struggle to keep up with messages, I have ADHD" - Clinical, passé. Invites unwanted questions

"The curse I carry permits contact only when stars align" - Mysterious, exciting. Demands the most be made of your time

officially laid off, after two weeks of limbo where i suspected that would be happening but had no confirmation. if anyone is looking for a talented, professional, and dedicated editor and culture writer, i’m officially on the market

The Miami Marlins wanted to hire a president of baseball operations over general manager Kim Ng, leading to her departure from the organization, sources told ESPN. When reached, Ng declined comment. But sources said she would've been the No. 2 after constructing a playoff team.

Kim Ng, the first female GM in US pro sports, just quit because after leading the marlins to the playoffs against all odds, ownership wanted to bring in someone to oversee her. (According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan who is rock solid).

I’m so exhausted and enraged.

This is the mentality that is ruining my formerly great job.

Marc Andreessen, who runs one of the biggest Silicon Valley venture capital firms, wrote a "manifesto" today labeling “social responsibility" and "tech ethics" teams "the enemy."

His firm, a16z, recently pivoted from crypto/NFTs/Web3 to American military and defense contractor technology.

When I tell people children are being slaughtered, and they want to know which children before moving into outrage mode or justification mode - that mentality, that conditional humanity, is exactly the problem.

1/ Hey, Bluesky. I have a BIG new story to share with you.

It’s about LEONARD LEO, the man who’s been called the “hidden architect” of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority.

Our investigation goes deeper, and reveals more, than any story about Leo.

It's 🧵 time…

Right now Texas is trying to execute someone whose victim’s family opposes it and Idaho is trying to execute someone whose trial judge - the man who sentenced him to die - opposes it.

“An Illinois landlord who fatally stabbed a 6-year-old boy and seriously wounded his mother targeted them because of their Islamic faith and the Israel-Hamas war, according to authorities.”

Folks, look, Scholastic is only a billion-dollar juggernaut that dominates the children’s book industry. What are they supposed to do about fascist book banning and censorship in the face of 11 racists sending angry emails? Whatever they want because they literally can? C’mon. Be reasonable.

I don't know guys, I'm starting to suspect that mergers and acquisitions aren't actually cool and awesome and a thing to be excited about

When Orwell wrote the essay "Politics and the English Language" this is what he was talking about and afraid of.

An older woman standing outside holding a homemade sign with the same pro-birth versus pro-life text.

A GENTLE REMINDER:

Wanting a child born is Pro-Birth.

Wanting a child fed, housed, educated with parents who earn a living wage is Pro-Life.

I am Pro-Life in the independent, progressive, democratic socialist sense that guarantees every child's health, safety and welfare.

A REMINDER FOR THE GOP:
"JESUS was a radical nonviolent revolutionary who hung around with lepers, hookers & crooks, was never anti-gay, never mentioned abortion or birth control, was anti-wealth & was a long-haired, brown-skinned, homeless, community-organizing, Middle Eastern Jew."
