You people. The Italians gave you some of the world’s most beautiful paintings, music, sculpture, films, food. And this is how you thank them.

I have been thinking about this for decades and still have no answer: why does being a real estate novelist leave you no time for a wife?

This is so true of so many comparisons between British and American culture. Except it’s the opposite for some reason for our legislative bodies.

Another principled, upright reason we should not go back to Lincoln-Douglas style debates in that they were extremely long.

I find it odd that Republicans want to open up a “did you associate with someone who said unpopular shit” contest.

I check in on Twitter during run-ups to elections, and in case any of you are wondering if it’s still a hellsite: huge swaths of the RW are having a meltdown because Sarah Huckabee Sanders made a commercial mocking the “undeserving” on Medicaid, but it featured a white guy.

When antisemites mutter darkly about what all Jews do because “it’s in the Talmud,” it’s either flatly wrong or misunderstands how to read the Talmud. But it’s also lowkey hilarious that they think most Jews have read the entire Talmud and know exactly what’s in it.

What does he think makes music "good"? Just to dovetail, at the moment we're all supposed to be in love with "Choosin' Texas," but WHY? What is it about that song that we're supposed to love? What if AI wrote it? Surely the right person to bring in to this discussion is @epicciuto.bsky.social .

I haven’t looked at the Tablet in years, and last I saw it was radical centrist takes on Jewish issues. Had no idea it is now just doing campus rape skepticism with a story that (afaik) has nothing to do with Jewish life.

my position is that everyone should be calm, but that the polls are clearly drunk, but also that theyre so drunk that even if they get 50% less drunk between now and election day, there will be reason for people not to be calm. but people should be calm.

I don’t say this often, but some people need to look at Bluesky more.

It’s kind of worse than this thread because Rationalists hold that monogamy is a now-illogical holdover from worrying about paternity. So, if you don’t want to participate you are providing evidence of your irrationality

My husband and kids are all so music-obsessed that I don’t even bother seeking out new stuff unless they tell me something’s good. They didn’t tell me about this. This doesn’t give me cachet; I’ma little embarrassed about my lack of music curiosity.

When I was a kid, one of my best friends was in a Republican family (would probably be Trumpy today). They had a beloved cat named Robespierre, and looking back I have so many questions.

In every Kol Nidre service I’ve attended, a rabbi (aware of the long history of antisemites saying this) always points out that the Kol Nidre prayer absolutely does not mean you have moral or legal permission to lie. One might note, eg, that bearing false witness is one of our top ten no-nos.
