fascinating to frame this as pro Israel and not anti international law
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

I prefer telling this story in a video rather than typing it out but here's some holiday advice for trans & queer folx in video form.
(No, it won't work for everyone. Only use it if you feel safe doing so. Yes, I'm still proud of my daughter for doing this. She was 17 at the time.)

hot take but all political interviews, debates and speeches should be fact-checked live with an active lie tally in front of each participant, and if they hit more than three lies they’re disqualified from speaking, and if they do this at more than 3 events they lose their candidacy or their seat

Yup. Here is another lovely example of the evolutionary, refinement of game design. The section of Daggerheart titled Pitfalls to Avoid is remarkably useful and a clear sign of effective playtesting. Show people both the best practices and the mistakes folks make.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.
