I’ll be getting the Puget Spice, Autumn’s Gold, and ice cider as my club order. Sadly not the Kingston Black. I’ll try to post reviews, although it will depend a little on when I get around to drinking them.

“… we do nothing but bicker and debate over what all of us, if we were being honest, would admit is a trivial detail!”

The rabbi bowed his head. “Yes. THIS is the tradition.”

And they gave their arguments.

“This is not the tradition,” the rabbi said.

The other side felt relieved. “So we’ll light them right to left.”

“This is not the tradition,” the rabbi intoned.

“But rabbi! We need an answer! We are at each other’s throats, everyone is expressing a strong opinion…”

Yeah there’s a story I can’t find, but here’s a paraphrase. A congregation became divided over whether the candles should be lit right to left or left to right. The discussion became heated. Finally the two sides went to the senior rabbi.

“Rabbi, we think they must be lit left to right…”

Oh and I’ll put in a word for the Larry Sanders Show, which again is not as dense in laughs but is doing very cool and funny stuff

There are great ones that are hard to compare, like Fawlty Towers, but nothing else makes me laugh like 30 Rock

“Criticism of Trump is sometimes tin-eared, think about how you phrase your analogies” becomes “don’t cite Asian history”

The best troll, which I hope no one actually does, would be to interview people on the Staten Island ferry about the free bus plan

[Me, a poor, on the subway, glowering jealously at all those fat cat, fancy pants rich people on the public bus]

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

Yep. Technically a regular 12-person jury is a “petite jury”

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.
