Well. My brother bought me a $20 scratch off lottery ticket for Christmas. I won $100. Not bad, honestly. 😊

Get your Kleenex out. A group of Chicago area Rabbis attended the funeral of Wadea Al-Fayoume, the six year old Palestinian-American boy who was brutally murdered by his landlord due to his ethnicity and religion. Rabbi Ari Hart explains why the Rabbis attended the funeral in the screenshot below.

Rabbi Ari Hart, the Imam at the boys’s Mosque, and Rabbi Hodi

"The Jerusalem Talmud teaches that the Jewish people are obligated to comfort the mourners of our people and of all people because of darchei shalom - the paths of peace.
Today, a group of rabbis of us went to the funeral of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a six year old Muslim boy who was killed in his home by his depraved landlord because he was Palestinian and Muslim.
This picture is with the imam of the mosque where the funeral was held. We met with the Imam, heard from the father, and stood with the boy's community as they mourned this horrific loss. We witnessed the pain. We expressed our shock and condemnation of the attack. We wept.
I can't say that it was simple to be there.
These are not simple times.
But the murder of a six year old because of his faith and his identity is not complicated. It is a heinous crime. And that's why we went today.
These days it really feels like the world has l These days it really feels like the world has lost its way.
But I can't give up on trying, yearning,

I just keep thinking about how bonkers it is that Israel is bullying Gigi Hadid on Instagram. Imagine a nuclear power tagging you on Instagram, accusing you of hating Jewish babies or whatever and then saying "we see you." That is so deeply fucked up

I hate how many AI art images are showing up in my visual reference searches. I'm not just looking for "images", I'm looking for art that was made at a historical moment to connect me to other human beings and their values and ideas! God damn it, art is more than an image, more than an artifact!

Kim Ng, the first female GM in US pro sports, just quit because after leading the marlins to the playoffs against all odds, ownership wanted to bring in someone to oversee her. (According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan who is rock solid). I’m so exhausted and enraged.

The Miami Marlins wanted to hire a president of baseball operations over general manager Kim Ng, leading to her departure from the organization, sources told ESPN.

When reached, Ng declined comment. But sources said she would've been the No. 2 after constructing a playoff team.

When I tell people children are being slaughtered, and they want to know which children before moving into outrage mode or justification mode - that mentality, that conditional humanity, is exactly the problem.

A GENTLE REMINDER: Wanting a child born is Pro-Birth. Wanting a child fed, housed, educated with parents who earn a living wage is Pro-Life. I am Pro-Life in the independent, progressive, democratic socialist sense that guarantees every child's health, safety and welfare. Planned Parenthood :-)}

they did what they were told and were killed anyway.

NYT: The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said that airstrikes had killed at least 40 Palestinians who were attempting to flee northern Gaza by car on a main highway. Ashraf al-Qidra, a ministry spokesman, said in a WhatsApp message that the strikes had hit Salahuddin Road, Gaza’s main highway and one of the few routes to an area that Israel had said was safe. The Israeli military could not immediately be reached for comment.

Daniel Barenboim has long been a hero of mine. One of the best conductors and pianists of the last 50 years. When he co-founded the Israeli-Palestinian youth symphony orchestra “West Eastern Divan Orchestra” with Palestinian Edward Said, in 1999, I gained even more respect and admiration for him.
