States of Anxiety: My Jewish Evolution On Israel and Palestine Introduction: Where I Was When It Happened

Poking my head back in here to share an essay I’ve been toying with writing for a couple months, finally worked up the nerve to actually write last week, and published today on 10/7. Doubt I’ll come back here regularly but who knows? Ok bye

The NHL is as competitively shot to hell as the NBA was a decade ago.

That’s about all I have to say about anything here for the time being. I’m taking an indefinite leave from social media posting. Might be back at some point, who knows. I just don’t feel like I gotta post and it’s freeing

Hey I’ve seen this part before

In light of the Spaceballs 2 announcement, I’d like to share my nuclear-grade hot take:

I think Young Frankenstein is just meh. Great individual moments but just OK as a whole movie

The only good take on MAGA was when Mad Magazine had a cover with Trump and Alfred E Neumann and the slogan “Make America Dumb Again!”

Sometimes I remember @jitka.bsky.social’s Red Pig. I wish I had one of my own

I need a big flashing sign on my person at all times that says “DO NOT NEWSDUMP ME.” I know things are bad, maybe irreparably so, and I choose to remain having a vague idea of why that is. Don’t pile misery on me like we’re playing head-to-head Tetris

In my lifetime, Nintendo turned from a company that put clothes on the women in console ports of Duke Nukem 3D and Cruisin’ USA into one that runs a shop where every third game is hentai. Strange times indeed

I’m piss

I’m going to shove a prickly pear up your ass

NFL OWNER • The "very expensive sweater and sunglasses" type of billionaire • Bought the team in 1979 for $12.80 and a ham sandwich (current valuation: $2.5 billion) • Will either give the team to his idiot children or demand that the team be buried with him when he dies at the age of 148 NBA OWNER • The "sport coat and jeans" type of billionaire • With just a dream, a chip on his shoulder, and 1 billion dollars from his father, turned some company you've never heard of called AcceleRight Ventures into the global leaders of... swapping bonds for... equity capital... on the blockchain... or some shit EUROPEAN SOCCER OWNER * The "track suit and gigantic Rolex" type of billionaire * Majority owned by a former Belarusian arms dealer-turned-oil oligarch (25% stake owned by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Culture and Bioweapons) * Wikipedia sections: "Early life", "Business Career", "Football Ownership", "Allegations of Crimes Against Humanity"

There’s even a meme that touches on it

When it comes to the fans, I disagree. Too global of a reach

But when it comes to the owners, and the playing style dictated by analytics? Absolutely. Even the coaches- there was an Athletic article bemoaning the death of suits on coaches

Worth mentioning that Cavs/Spurs in 2007 was the lowest rated Finals at the time, even though it was LeBron’s first trip there. In response, David Stern engineered the trade that brought Garnett to Boston, in spite of him saying he’d never play there TWO WEEKS PRIOR

It’s sad to see that NBA fans genuinely fall for the media narrative that says a Finals isn’t worth watching if it’s not one of the five or six glamour teams. Any other league would be unable to shut up about a matchup between two teams that haven’t won shit since the 70s

lmao

Didn’t Wake Up Once Overnight Award 😃

The twins’ mom put on Moana 2 when we all got back from the playground, and the kids didn’t give a shit what was on the TV until my wife put on a YouTube video of the pigeon from those Mo Willems books

I’m wearing a mask on the subway for the first time in a while. I stopped when we started foster parenting because as long as the kids are unmasked, you’re getting what they’re getting anyway. But it feels right. You don’t spread your germs and you don’t smell the stenches

With Brian Wilson dead and Mark Wahlberg repudiating his Funky Bunch past, who will be giving us good vibrations now?

IG reel of a crowd of people with the following text: “Ethical gooning habits: - NO AI -support small creators - No gatekeeping - be open minded - Lube up - beware of the current political and economic climate - NEVER bring John Pork into it

The things my wife finds and shares on her IG reels and TikTok algorithms disgusts even some of the most hardened internet warriors

You don’t need a third eye to see that Mindseye sucks ass

Who’s Aaron Rodgers’s beard

Fortnite (or, the death of gaming)

Sarcasm aside, if the two sides responsible for the NHL CBA don’t see this as a problem that’s worth going after, it’s not a problem worth going after. End of story

Bettman and the NHLPA don’t see state income tax as an issue? Oh no! Better throw millions of more dollars (US and Canadian) at hockey media members to tell people otherwise, Heritage Foundation and whatever its Canadian equivalent is called!

Ozempic truly is a miracle of modern medicine, but it’s also sapped a lot of weight from Bartolo Colon, so it might actually be bad

(Note: a “health check” involves sniffing the subject’s privates and “anoose”)

We could have followed Carl Sagan’s advice and got our shit together to explore the stars, but clearly we don’t deserve that honor

Three basset hounds in a video still image. IG caption: "Camping basset palooza 2025 has came to an end but we wanted to show you our campground snoops, dunking my empty coin purse in Canisbay lake, & Maui Anderson dunking her dangly hooters. A bit of funny business followed by a thorough health check on brother Brutus. We were absolutely ticked to see all the packing up and then we were loaded up in the truck like cheap luggage. 😤” - Gussy

“The arc of the universe is long but it bends towards justice?” Uh, just world fallacy much, Dr. King?
