I have Many Thoughts on this. I've often been told (especially by my mother, shock!) that I should become a rabbi. This is usually done when I'm expounding on Torah or Kabbalah, or some cultural nugget. My thought is.. why can't we have "layman" Jews do that sort of thing? Why limit it to rabbis??
A rabbi did a good rant about how in certain spaces people assume that people who Know Stuff either are rabbis or are going to become rabbis -- why not the "learned Jew" track? Why would it make sense to only have a few folks obsessed with the intricacies of nusach or the history of hahahah?

one thing i really resent is the way lizza, nuzzi and related parties have spent years acting like it’s their extreme reverence for american politics that allows them to slip inside the palace and tell their tales, regardless of party, when really they just wanted to be a part of the king’s court.

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.
All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

I feel like there's a lot of "mask dropping" going on. We're seeing it with Nuzzi, we're seeing it with the Epstein files, and with do-nothing Senators - the powerful and the privileged protecting one another in their own club, holding the rest of us in utter contempt.
The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

Also these are people at the heights of the industry, and both Nuzzi and Lizza were almost instantly rehabilitated by top media companies after a first round of scandals that should have made them radioactive. Now lo and behold, much bigger shoes to drop, and we probably haven't seen the last of it.

Yeah, I mean for one thing, if you're in NA, you've acknowledged that your decisions are taking you down a dark path and are working to change that.
I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

Like, any argument that it’s democratizing making art (I hear someone compare it to Photoshop!!!) is pretty quickly undermined by evidence that these people don’t like making art

LOVE everything about this! MIW is working on a series of street sign installations to help Philly bus commuters. Future travel signs will be created in collaboration with other street artists who don’t drive. The artist hopes to install 10 of them around the city to encourage SEPTA to innovate.

but also - maybe make those statements if/when Christian orgs do the same thing?
Also speaking out against something a synagogue does is IMO not the same thing as protesting and shouting outside of it, something gentiles have done throughout history for less-than-altruistic reasons. Make a statement that you're pissed they're working with X group or hosting MK so-and-so!

Also, maybe "sacred spaces" shouldn't be protested, since it only seems that very *specific* "sacred spaces" are singled out for political reasons, despite those very same spaces having almost no institutional or cultural power in the broader English-Speaking world
I can't speak for what was said at the protests, but seeing people react to an anodyne statement like "sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law" as if it were a vicious slur is clarifying.
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.

Great article.
Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...

More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.
