I had some Pringles in that flavor just yesterday and they really hit the spot in the midst of my 17.5 mile run.

This sounds a lot like kutach haBavli, which comes up often in Talmud, though Jews would not have included lamb with it as it is dairy.

Seems relevant to the possibility that Mamdani will do likewise in NYC
The City of Atlanta is opening its first municipal grocery store today.
The city is spending $3.5 million in partnership with a neighborhood grocery chain in an effort to eliminate a downtown food desert.

It has been wild to see what were always the two most paranoid pro-Second Amendment scenarios—the government snatching people away and sending occupying armies into communities—literally happen this year, to the delight of conservatives
There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.

I have been learning Mishayot Moed with my daughter since Sukkot of 2023. The plan was to begin with my son in December, following daughter's bat mitzvah. Son decided on Shabbat that he is ready now. So we began with Brachot 1:1. He is very mesudar and wouldn't think of starting elsewhere.

On the theory that there is damning stuff about Trump in the Epstein files, why did Trump himself campaign on releasing them? He knew he was in there but there is worse stuff than he expected? He forgot how bad his part was? Or is it instead damning for someone else in MAGA world?

Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, one year *after* Clinton raised taxes on the ultra rich and corporations.
So if there’s *any* causal relationship at all between tax rates and innovation, it’d actually be the other way around — clearly higher taxes lead to more innovation, right?

The idea that Jeff Bezos wouldn't have started Amazon if he didn't think he could have $237 billion suggests he didn't get rich by accident.
It suggests he time travelled from the 90s to this moment of unimaginable income inequality and political donor power.

I know it’s trendy to hate billionaires, but many didn’t get rich by accident.
Jeff Bezos made goods cheaper & quickly accessible. Bill Gates put computers in homes. Sergey Brin gave the world a search engine that works. I could go on.
So yes…they should exist.

When Trump was elected, I knew I would hate his policies mostly, but at least he would be mostly good for Israel but in a hamfisted and stupid way, and might lower my taxes.
With Mamdani winning the primary, some of his policy ideas will be good, even though he is an antisemite.
