Sigd, a festival celebrated by Ethiopian Jews, begins tonight at sundown!

Members of the Beta Israel community fast, read scriptures, and pray for the rebuilding of the Temple. The fast ends mid-day with a feast and dancing.

Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson, one of the greatest comic strips of all time, was born on this day, November 18, 1985 -- December 31, 1995.

And Calvin's dad remains a beacon of inspiration to cyclists everywhere.

Exactly correct. Nobody points this fact out enough.
This is the reason Republicans keep losing massively whenever they try making healthcare coverage the issue: The very concept of "shared risk" is something completely alien to their DNA.

And you thought loading up on area merchant birthday specials was a savvy move....
I just got my hair cut by a woman who has us all beat. She owns the shop but she also works two hours a week bussing at a fancy hotel restaurant so she can get employee deals at fancy hotels.

And two days a week she slings bags for Delta so she can fly wherever she wants for free.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Weird how at some point the ACA subsidies went from meaningless technocrat babble that it was obviously incredibly stupid for Democrats to try protecting to being incredibly important for helping people avoid suffering.

And Democrats managed to get it wrong both times!! What were the odds?

Moi aussi.

Photo shows a cyclist in Paris at night. They're between a parallel parked car and a car stopped at a light or something. Their bike has a red sign on it that says "Attention Je suis folle! Je m'arrete aux feux rouges!" (Attention I'm crazy! I stop at red lights!)
A bon entendeur.

Back in my day we had to make up the bullshit all on our own. No AI to lean on. Kids today.
Trying to make something look professional instead of actually doing the work is a skill, right?

This woman made herstory.
She’s the reason the ACA got passed.
She led us through Trump 1.0, the insurrection & COVID
She never lost a single vote she called up.
I didn’t always agree w her but this woman showed us what a gifted leader looks like.
TY Nancy for all of it.
