BAD SHABBOS is on Netflix now. My parents and I laughed, a lot.

Two guys on a bus meme, the sad one is browsing social media, the happy one is getting drunk off his ass dancing with the Torah

Every Shabbos and Yom Tov over the past two years my family would sing Acheinu, a thousand-year-old prayer for the return of Jewish hostages
We won’t need to sing it tonight
Actual tears. Baruch Hashem, and Shehechiyanu

Also that same interlude taught me the invaluable term “pizza bones”
Just saw A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, Kathryn Bigelow’s film about how a single errant nuke could potentially spark global Armageddon in 20 minutes
Tense stuff. I’m not without notes. But some recurring criticisms I’m now seeing online are, IMO, Galaxy-Brained, blinking-guy-emoji ridiculous
Saw the current big-budget franchise IP movie
Thinking big thoughts on Plot vs Story, and how frequently these things pay lip service to the latter while focusing almost entirely on the former, and how that just doesn't work
Just got vaccinated for flu and Covid! Recommend you do too!

It’s interesting. You can’t copyright an animal. But when it’s extinct and any visual interpretation is definitionally a creative one, a specific design can sort of stake its own territory
The few people who do show up to watch feel like tableaus of Great Depression Dust Bowl America and I don’t think that’s by accident
