This interview with the director hints at the most interesting about the series which is that this queer guy stumbled upon the book & made it into a show but had no prior awareness of the entire genre of gay male smut novels mostly written by women for women & learned about it through this project.

I read this incorrectly at first, but maybe we should test a different political theory of climate action with a different IRA? For the sake of thoroughness?
The IRA was useful, in a way, for testing a particular political theory of climate action: that you could hide its transformational nature and get support for it by mostly offloading it onto red state corporations. It was a reasonable theory. And now we are going to have to try something else
"The IRA’s survival was premised on the logic that a loose alignment of corporations would support climate policies in exchange for subsidies and convince Republicans to get on their side. That didn’t work." newrepublic.com/article/2027...

I grew up in a "hakol" shul, have been attending a "hameitim" shul for 15+ years, and now the shul I teach Hebrew at switched from "hameitim" to "hakol" last year. What comes out of my mouth during the G'vurah these days is an absolute coin toss.
The Jewish version is you give your name as "Baruch atah Ad!nai, m'chayeh…." and half answers "hameitim" and the other answers "hakol"

Happy Gävlebocken season! Every year since 1966, Gävle, Sweden, has erected a massive version of Scandinavia's traditional straw Yule goat. It is so attractive to vandals—particularly arsonists—that in the previous 59 years, only 17 goats have survived fully intact. Good luck in 2025, Gävlebocken!

The crisis isn’t refugees. It’s not that one person committed one tragic crime and killed one other person. The crisis isn’t that America’s 250-year old history of hosting immigrants turned out to be a mistake.
The crisis is that STEPHEN MILLER, a hateful little maggot, controls the government.

If I've understood the reports correctly, the guy is 29 and had worked with the US military for ten years by 2021, making him about 15 when he started. Feels like he was trafficked.
The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

After how many recitations has one completed the mitzvah to recite the Shema?

Torah isn't something one "completes," you managed to capitalize "Jesus" but not "Jew," and Jesus's Jewishness is less relevant to Judaism than is the Jewishness of Stan Lee.

Hey #Jews! Is it possible to be *religious* and not believe in G-d? If so, how does it work? Tell me please!

I was relieved to hear from his family today and to know that he’s safe and where he belongs — with his family.

I will never understand terfs reinforcing misogynistic stereotypes in service of fear mongering about trans women.
TERFs are mainly middle age middle class white women who protect cis men. They are not feminists, do not speak out against the patriarchy or sexism in society or against abortion rights being under threat. They are frequently racist.
All they do is say women are weaker than men in every way.
