I had THIS exact conversation with so many close Jewish friends in my youth that the concept stopped being shocking.
Now, I identify as ''culturally' christian'.
What could we accomplish if The Culture took this approach to community building?!

Hot take incoming:
Outside of The North Pole or Jerusalem, no other city has an assured slot on your holiday playlist.
Around these parts, no New Years mix is complete without 'New York, New York' or 'Empire State of Mind'.
It's not our fault that we do it our way!

In the midst of all of these #RobReiner look-backs, the blogosphere keeps overlooking the film that truly highlights how far we've come as a culture.
Sorry if I love drama, but I am waiting for the moment that tiktok rediscovers this absolute gem.

Anyone who thinks that they are hates small talk.
The actually smart people learn quickly that those who have something wise to say, tend to disdain pretention and avoid opening up to impart that wisdom to folks that, without cause, say off-putting and belittling things to strangers.

Last week, I wrote my very first substack post. It's small and raw, but, the thing is, a week later, my gut has been proven 100% right.
The Senate followed up their play by immediate and total confirmation of the Epstein bill.
For once, they knew the assignment and dispatched it expeditiously!

America, literally, stole the reproductive rights of EVERY Gen Z woman and Gen Alpha girl... and, yet, the country wants to focus on Male loneliness and/or act stumped by why women under 44 want to leave?!

The sad truth is that AI porn isn't a thing because we don't need it. Simply put: There isn't anything that human porn performers won't do.

First reaction:
There are no words for what I just saw. 🔥
First hot take:
I recently watched 'Him' and all I can think is that someone over at Monkey's Paw is going to cry for a full year when they see this and realize how absolutely their team failed at what Rosalia did in less than 5 minutes.

The Exquisite Corpse:
I was in bed with my girlfriend and 'How Does It Feel" came on the playlist.
I made a comment about The Video and that divine body.
She, being from abroad, hadn't seen it.
Right there and then, we paused actual lesbian sex to appreciate D'Angelo in his prime.

Our nation will bestow the medal of freedom upon the day's leading neo-segregationist because he was leading his movement 'the right way'.
I knew daylight savings was approaching, but I, foolishly, thought that meant that we should set our clocks back by an hour... too bad I was off by a century!

Stephen Miller really wants us to believe that, if you put 100 monkeys in a room to, randomly, bang on keyboards, it would only take about 26 days for one of them to, coincidentally, churn out an exact copy of 'Mein Kampf'. 🙈🙉🙊

Every single day, since the Biden revelations, I have sat here and waited for the Democratic party to wake the fuck up and give Kamala, Nancy and Hilary their flowers for being the ones to get off their asses and mobilize to neutralize Biden and bother to mount an offense to Trump. #StillWaiting

Can we just take a moment in all of this 'political violence' insanity to marvel at the fact that we're totally watching our generational version of 'Dog Day Afternoon' unfold before our eyes?! First music, then Marvel, now Crime is getting reboots too?! Who knew?!

Listen to the hand-wringing closely. They're all taking the opportunity of Charlie Kirk's assassination to specifically redefine the terms "Nazi", "fascist" and "racist" as mindless inflammatory slurs with no connection to meaning in the real world. The coordination on the right is unreal.

When I was a child, I prized the idea of free speech. I was on board to the point that I held dear the concept that we should protect the right of Nazis to march down main street... It wasn't until I grew up to understand that America is ONLY interested in protecting the poison spewed by the right.

Today's socio-political climate is what happens when society accepts 'the right to sling slurs' as the cornerstone of 'free speech'.
Sadly, attention spans today do not have the capacity to compute concepts like 'freedom of the press' or the right to protest without retribution from the government.
