If Waffle House changed their logo I would be upset.

Ok but his push for lower interest rates is to juice the economy despite the obvious harms of his tariff program? That’s very much what’s happening right now.

The disagreement seems to be about Jesus's status and abilities, not about the laws of Shabbat. And Jesus's response seems to be "don't close your eyes to a miracle that happened before you."

What's confounding to me is that in the story, from Jesus's perspective he did not violate the Sabbath. He didn't administer a medicine or a bandage; he performed a miracle. The Pharisees' objection is basically "we don't think you performed a miracle, so you must have provided medicine." 1/2

Your presumption that legalism is incompatible with the “meaning” of the Sabbath is what’s antisemitic. Interpreting and living according to God’s law is at the core of what it means to be a Jew. Disagreement about what is or is not allowed is holy!

If you're wondering, this is the nakedly antisemitic part:

CEO is a woman. Woke is when women decide things.

I just want one discourse cycle that isn’t “things were better when I was a child than they are now that I have a mortgage payment”

Resolved: symphonies have too much dynamic range to make them good background music at work.

In theory yes. In practice, we are putting our oldest in private school.

So DOGE fired qualified government workers for no reason, and now we have to pay to hire and train replacements. Efficiency!

If you’re not eating a whole bowl of tomatoes with salt, pepper, and olive oil, what are you doing with your life?

zomg huge news you guys, ethnic cleansing!

Nah. My wife is a SAHM because she loves early childhood. Parenting is the job--not cooking or cleaning for me, just because my job is lawyer and her job is childcare.

Sitting through class when you already know all the material is excruciating and a waste of your one precious life.

In my public HS, Gifted was instead of study hall. We played games, did puzzles, hung out. I once asked the teacher, "what's the point"? He said, essentially, "think about what deficits the gifted kids have. You need social skills too."
