I finally watched it for the first time this past winter when I got a round of Covid (seasons 1-2) and then the flu (season 3). SO. GOOD.

I can’t speak for other sports and I’m not a competitive runner, but this tracks with the running community I know. It’s a beautiful statement.

SCENE: The REL Dept.
ME, running into fellow JST colleague's office: Habemus papem!

COLLEAGUE 2 arrives.
COLLEAGUE 2 (nonchalant): I can't believe my two Jewish colleagues are the ones most excited about the new pope.

Wait, how did they pick a new Pope so fast? If rabbis had a conclave, we'd still be on the part where we argue about what a Pope even is.

Remember that it's STILL not cool to make fun of ANYONE'S weight, in any context, and that's STILL not how we get to ANY justice or liberation, EVER

EVEN if you think you're being sly and funny about how the president is like the mob boss from that movie or whatever.

Words and deeds only.

Right. Yes. Why on earth would anyone need to know anything about the Middle East right now? Or how to speak Spanish. Or understand data or religions.
