iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

took my Adderall this morning, locked in, and translated the last 112 verses of Psalm 119 today. (Last month I did the first 64 eight at a time.)

פִּי־פָעַרְתִּי וָאֶשְׁאָפָה
כִּי לְמִצְוֺתֶיךָ יָאָבְתִּי׃

Pi fa’arti va-esh’afa,
ki le-mitzvotecha ya’avti.

131 With my mouth agape, I am panting;
I yearn for Your Command.

Democrats savor any opportunity they get to throw trans people under the bus. Truly a rite of passage for them

trans athletes are amazing. no one else can do what they can: getting Americans to care about women’s sports

1/3 American Jews grieved when we learned that Sunkist Fruit Gems, the soft-but-sturdy candies we pelt kids with at Bar/t Mitzvahs, have been discontinued. Yesterday, we rejoiced when Sunkist reversed course. So naturally I wrote a Megillah in Biblical Hebrew recounting this miracle for posterity.

Sunkist Fruit Gems, a delicious and colorful candy, individually wrapped in plastic, kosher and soft enough to safely throw at 13-year-olds in a house of worship

"Making public schools free, while offering nothing to people who don't have kids, appeals to educated, urban, affluent parents who have come to make up the Democratic base, but not to the electorate at large."

see also this classic gem about David in his silver fox years cuckqueaning Abishag the Shunamite (see I Kings 1) with, uh, the Queen

From Talmud Bavli, Sanhedrin 22a

The Gemara clarifies: The story of Abishag, what is it? As it is written: “Now King David was old and stricken in years…and his servants said to him, let there be sought…a young virgin…and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may get heat” (I Kings 1:1–2); and it is written: “So they sought for a beautiful maiden…and found Abishag” (I Kings 1:1–3); and it is written: “And the maiden was very beautiful and she became a companion to the king and ministered to him, but the king did not know her” (I Kings 1:1–4). Abishag said to King David: Marry me. King David said to her: You are forbidden to me, as I already have eighteen wives.

Continued in next slide

Abishag said to him: When the thief is lacking what to steal, he makes himself like a man of peace. In other words, she was saying that since King David was physically unable to engage in intercourse, he devised an excuse not to marry her. King David said to his attendants: Call Bathsheba to me. And it is written: “And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber; now the king was very old and Abishag the Shunammite ministered to the king” (I Kings 1:15). Rav Yehuda says that Rav says: At that time, Bathsheba wiped herself with thirteen cloths, corresponding to the number of words in the verse, indicating that she engaged in intercourse with King David thirteen times.

In plain English: King David is pushing 70 and bedridden most of the time. His courtiers arrange to have a beautiful, nubile young woman to stay in bed with the king to "warm him up," so to speak, but he's not interested in her. Offended when he rejects her advances, Abishag says "When they're unable to steal, thieves pretend to be law-abiding citizens," i.e. "I know you want me, but you won't admit it because you just can't get it up anymore, old man." So David calls in one of his 18 wives and cucks Abishag thirteen times in a row, presumably while all three are in bed together. What an absolute legend

you: not tonight babe, i'm tired king david: i'm so tired of moaning. every night I go swimming in my bed

From Talmud Bavli, Sanhedrin 107a

Rav Yehuda says that Rav says: Even during the time of his illness he fulfilled the mitzva of conjugal rights for eighteen wives, as it is stated: “I am weary with my groaning; every night I speak in my bed; I melt away my couch with tears” (Psalms 6:7). Even when he was weary and groaning he still spoke in his bed, a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

Excited to be leading this service at the historic First Baptist Church, founded by Roger Williams in 1638. Special thanks to my fellow Ocean State Havurah members who worked hard to secure a venue for this event, especially @lexaphus.bsky.social who connected us with First Baptist's clergy.

Photo I found of the First Baptist Church in America's current church sign, next to a pride sign, which fittingly reads "May Your Name Be Inscribed In The Book Of Life." (This church often uses its sign to honor members of other religious groups during their holidays, a touching ecumenical gesture.)

May our supplication rise in the evening… Please join me for Kol Nidre, the evening service for Yom Kippur, this Sunday (September 20) from 6-9:30 PM at the First Baptist Church in America (75 North Main St, Providence RI) May we all be sealed in the Book of Life, for good.
