As a book reader, I genuinely enjoyed Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Honest to the novella, but really fun and enjoyable, other than the…scene…that set the tone for what it is, and what it’s not. 😳

Seeing the online discourse about Josh Shapiro’s comments about the vetting process, it seems that racism and canards are perfectly fine from the left, as long as they are about Jews.

Figures.

Been away from the Fedi for a bit, come back, refresh my feed and the fist thing that pops up is someone using the #jewish for casual antisemitism. Check their feed and immediately see them saying what Jews “consider themselves” (and it happens to be wrong).

I see some things never change.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Drops of God season 1 was a masterpiece and I have no idea how they’re going to do season 2.

Big things are happening with Jerusalem and Damascus.

i24 reporting that Syria and Israel are setting up a communication channel for military and intelligence coordination. And Damascus is open to an Israeli liaison office without diplomatic status.

I think we should hold multiple truths at the same time. 1) Maduro was bad and his removal from power is probably a positive. 2) American leaders should not lie to Congress. 3) Congress should have been, at minimum, consulted and, more realistically, authorized this and the Bush-Panama action.

A special Happy Zos #hanukah to @ylove, my brother that gave us the best Zos Chanukah song of all time, “My Hanukkah (Keep the Fire Alive).”

Happy #zoshanukkah mishpacha!

Was on another platform today and, when I began responding to someone with basic Jewish history, like Jewish history 101–things like the Levantine harvest origins of certain Jewish holidays, the Babylonian exile, Cyrus’s grant of return to Eretz Yisrael, and the history of the three Jewish […]

Heartbreaking to wake up to this on the first day of Hanukkah.

The online takes are wild. Years of rampant conspiracism and antisemitism have broken people's minds when it comes to anything related to Jews. Even when they're gunned down in public, they're not spared the varied indignities both […]

My broken heart is with the Jewish community of NSW this morning. 💔
