My hometown of 60,000 people had like 12 youth soccer teams for each age group so it's heartening to know that I could play forward on a Sanmarinese team.
San Marino, a country with 35,000 people, has 16 domestic soccer teams.

Very rare to see someone lay out so explicitly that they do not consider "never again" to be a universalist creed. I don't know how people who talk like this can stand to look themselves in the mirror.
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

And, as we unfortunately demonstrated today, it’s incredibly easy to inadvertently promote anti-Semitic dogwhistles, even when attempting to engage in principled leftism. As such, we want to apologize specifically to Jewish folks for failing to receive earlier critiques from their community.

Deleting some previous posts on the TX map being overturned because the risk that it affects CA's new map seem to be pretty low, and the likelihood that SCOTUS won't allow TX to use this map anyway seems even lower.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

Thinking more about Todd Snider's passing, it's just awful how musicians are basically forced to tour until they totally break down. We need to get streamers to pay them pensions or something. We owe them at least that much.

Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?
