losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?
I made this and put it on Insta and apparently it’s making the rounds, lol this city. Knicks in Five!!

I’ve got a piece in here! First installment in a series of studies on the history of “Talmudic Philology.”
Was a total pleasure working with Daniel and Greg, and it’s an honor to be part of this lineup!
I don't know why, but basically every day of my life, wherever I am, I get asked for directions. Over a decade ago, when I was living in Jerusalem, a black SUV pulled up next to me as I was walking and *the former mayor*—Uri Lupolianski—pulled down his window and asked me how to get somewhere.
My phone’s insistence on autocorrecting to “Chanukah sumac” has gotten me wondering how exactly I can incorporate sumac into my Chanukah cooking
ICE mustn't only be abolished, at this point. Its members should be investigated and prosecuted if need be. This is literally fucking Gestapo behaviour. This is state terrorism of the sort you see in bona fide totalitarian countries which existed in the 20th century.
I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing.
But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.
Fantastic new resource for scholars of Hebrew manuscripts, Jewish Art, and the Hebrew Bible--an online digital edition of the (now lost) Cairo Codex of the Prophets, prepared by Elvira Martín-Contreras!
