One of my algorithms has decided that I want sumo wrestlers in London content, and I am thrilled to report that they are right.

Four sumo wrestlers crossing the iconic crosswalk at Abbey Road Studios in London.

oh yeah, you sure are, do NOT look at the prices, whatever you do

(Am I gonna figure out my size and see about getting them secondhand? You bet I'm gonna try.)

Yeah!! The Heritage line is based in part on 1910s/'20s lasts (or if not lasts, then definitely designs)!! She let me touch the leather too and it is so soft I screamed.

Someone at work came in with Red Wing boots, which I clocked instantly because they were GORGEOUS. Now that I've experienced some in person, I am obligated to go try these on and fall even more dangerously in love with them!!!!

Clara | RedWing

The Clara is a commanding women's ankle height boot in Oro Legacy leather. Dramatic lace-up construction turns heads, and a grippy rubber outsole paves the way for year-round wear. Shop Now at Heritag...

Modern post apocalyptic novels are actually about World War II

Cozy British murder mysteries set in the interwar years are actually post-apocalyptic novels.

People don’t want to hear this but the principle consequence of making I-P an omnicause is the creation of a million new antisemites who, as a nice bonus, are unequipped to address any other issue sensibly.

Wanting more housing is apparently a thing you can blame on the Jews now.

Avinatan and Noa!!!

Noa's story hit particularly hard for me because her mother was dying of the same brain cancer that took my own mom. Noa was rescued in time to have a few weeks with Liora before she died; that was last summer. This is the best possible ending for now.

I have never, ever heard a noise like that made by the father of Segev Kalfon finally seeing and holding him again. Apparently no one knew if he was alive or dead for a year and a half — only in February was he confirmed in the tunnels.

Oh Rue!!! Yes. I’m two or three degrees from three different hostages at least, and it’s been. Such a surreal two years. Others look so much like family, it’s unreal.

I had this reaction there too!!! Such a selling point for the ~universal city, but when we asked, they told us there were only seven or eight Jewish families left. It was 2010 and the streets were full of hateful graffiti because of the flotilla back then.
