I do have a litmus test for my candidates now and it's that I want them to be genuinely pissed off, not pretend pissed off

A black and white cat peeks around a wooden doorframe with curious yellow eyes. Next to the cat, there are whimsical ghost-like characters illustrated in a playful style. The background features wooden flooring and a blurred door.

JEWISH. INDEPENDENT. NONPROFIT.

A few days later came another night I'll never forget - the Israelis for Peace vigil marking two years since the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023.
Hundreds gathered - Israelis, Palestinians, Jews, Arabs, Americans - huddled together on folding chairs in Union Square in chilly weather, under an open sky. As part of a wide-ranging lineup, from the stage, I read a message from Liat Atzili, whose husband Aviv was killed that day; a short, piercing story by Etgar Keret; and a poem by Mahmoud Darwish that hung in the air like a spell.
And there was Mamdani again, sitting quietly in the front row next to Lander. He didn't take the microphone.
He didn't try to center the event on himself. He was just listening. Bearing witness.
His presence wasn't performative. It was pastoral. In a city that so often divides its grief by identity, he crossed the invisible line and simply showed up.
That's when it hit me: This is what safety looks like. Not fences or slogans, not solidarity-as-branding - but the radical act of standing with people in pain, without needing to own or edit it.

It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch

Another Trek or Treat in the bag, 3 years running, I do believe that makes this a tradition. Hope you enjoyed, and look forward to bringing you many more of these. πŸ––πŸ»πŸŽƒπŸ–€

The version of you your parents or church would have preferred is not your business or responsibility.

If they want to make themselves unhappy with the "shoulds" they choose to cling to, let them "should" all over themselves. You have a recovery to work & a life to build here.

Immortality is a child's answer to death anxiety, not a real thing with which humanity will ever have to contend. No king's alchemist ever granted him eternal life, and it isn't going to start happening now just because of Computer.

The way people talk about this, and about colonizing Mars, which is really just the same thing blown up to a species-wide scale, is delusional, and you don't have to humor it or pretend it even skims the surface of reason.

You will die. Everyone you know will die. The capitalist overlords will die. Their bodies will fail, just like ours. It is not a "fixable" phenomenon.

I invite you to join me in rejecting the siren song of Christmas Starts November 1. We're still doing autumn next month. We're gonna keep roasting up root vegetables and baking with apples. We're leaf peeping, lighting pumpkin candles, and drinking spiced cider. We're watching Fantastic Mr Fox

Kirk and Spock (movie era judging by Kirk's hair) naked with Jim grabbing a HEALTHY handful of Vulcan ass. He looks like he's laughing into Spock's cheek and pulling him closer. Spock has lifted one leg to wrap around Jim's waist.
