What I appreciate about your article is that I had never thought about where those maps came from, and how Jewish tradition did not value those passages in the same way as Christian tradition

Definitely. It is so easy for readers to mistake the borders drawn on a bible map and think they were the same kind of borders we have today.

Really excellent piece. Was this part of a larger project?

Universities buy all the latest tech but never employ the early career scholars who will actually use them.

Pretty sure we are in an episode of 30 Rock

Probably a good thing I’m not going to my family’s for thanksgiving because my 2yo daughter has begun pronouncing “mommy and daddy” as “Mamdani”.

A perfect illustration of how a text’s genre/meaning can rapidly shift from drama to comedy to horror in the time it takes to read.

Did Hegseth say what would happen to those in military who cant maintain certain physical fitness standards? Because I can think of one commander in chief who is not passing the test

Can you share the table of contents?

There are lots of differences… but a number of important similarities between the recent memorial service and the media coverage of Pat Tillman in 2004

My lovely daughter is almost 2 years old and her speech is coming along so well. She does have a hard time pronouncing the “S” in words that begin with that letter. She’ll normally swap the sound for a “K”

This makes asking for socks very strange.

This doggo is definitely anti-fascist

Agreed. It would be nice, though if Newsom didn’t look so much like a Disney villain.

To protest a bill that aims to ensure children have stable care in case their parents are deported and cannot be reached (i.e., to keep them out of CPS). They believe it’s a human trafficking bill aimed to strip parents of their rights.

Still working on it, but where should I send this?

I’m writing a public-facing piece on my childhood church (which I still have close family links to) and their alarming demonisation of political enemies from the pulpit. Their hatred has made them incapable of empathy for the other, leading them to march to the CA State Capitol 1/
