Today might be a good day, a few days before Advent, to share my Handel: Messiah playlist again. If you would like to see the way it was created, the playlist has a link to my Facebook post about it.

Google should be way more public about this. I basically have an AI phone screener that I can secretly oversee and control (somewhat).
My Pixel 10 Pro phone rang from an unrecognized number. It gave me a "Screen" button in addition to "Answer" and "Decline", so I pressed it to see what it did.

Shimmer across the sky.

Right after I graduated (May 2022) IU started doing crazy stuff like this... I have never set foot on campus (I was completely online), and yet I am embarrassed by this.
Something strange is happening at Indiana University...
The school removed its respected director of its renowned Jewish studies program without explanation and replaced him with a professor focused on contemporary antisemitism known for vocally supporting Israel. 🧵
