Artists! I am looking for a Jewish illustrator for a middle-grade project focusing on Jewish history, practice, and culture. If your style feels fun, MG-appropriate, and both editorial & narrative, please drop a link or DM! (And editor & agent friends, if you have someone to rec, it's appreciated!)

my understanding is that they are a lot of fun. they actually called my wife over to their table after she had defended Bluntβ€”they had left that table, found another, got to gamble, and they saw her wandering around the floor.

Well, you have to heckle them in a unique way, not like the other 30 or so people who heckled them on any given year which they've prepped to demolish those lines in the future.

So, maybe?

mind you, i got a future pastor to say "no, why would god do that?" as a response to a logical argument, to me a Jew, so i'll count that as an almost win.

yeah, it is the comedian problem. "why surely i have a new angle on theology that they haven't contemplated!"

no, you don't unless you're the kind of person who can actually heckle a comedian and be funnier than they are, except with theology.

In 1999, I wrote a short film called "Will of Steel" where I made a mockumentary about the idea of mental self-improvement via physical exercises.

Prior to British Office or The Secret, which the 2nd is apparently someone did the same idea as an actual thing.

Movie making, though I wrote a short film that people found actually very funny, is way way way too stressful for me.

i talked to Samuel Jackson at a bowling alley about his wife's acting on a movie that wasn't out yet because I had been on set and ended up doing the Photoshop work on Caveman's Valentine(one half of the photographer)

None of that was connected in any way

my wife gambled with john krasinski, emily blunt, and rob riggle all night, because she could list all these facts about blunt when she got carded.

i, in same hotel, did not, because i was passed out and jet lagged and my wife did not call me. which honestly, probably for the best as really tired.

Seth Bodnar is running as an Independent with a few minor democrats running against him, but still, that's probably a couple of percentage points going to the Democrat who will absolutely lose instead of the Independent who might win.
