@Yair_Rosenberg I worked on a TV show years ago when a writer was told to cut a dreidel joke but he left it in. Afterwards, staff shorthand for doing your own thing and not listening to our boss was “doing a dreidel.” (It wasn’t a good joke hence the cut - not because it was about a dreidel).
@Howard_Lovy@MalcolmNance@NPR Every synagogue I’ve ever been associated with has wrestled with the meanings of the entire story of the book of Esther. What is the point of our vast history if we don’t wrestle with it and apply the lessons to today? Reading this article as antisemitism is missing the point.
@latimes We just cancelled our subscription of over 50 years. There’s already hardly any local news -and I can read about the rest of the world elsewhere, where they employ reporters to cover it instead of running wire copy.
@AdyBarkan We usually say “May his memory be a blessing” but in Ady’s case we know for certain that it will be. Deepest condolences- rest in power, Ady.
@Yair_Rosenberg My kid in fourth grade in day school knew more about the revival of Hebrew than that poster. And as a bonus they even had a song about Eliezer Ben-Yehuda.
@PeterHamby UW students stood in line for hours, getting Biden elected. When the time comes there will be, as always, a huge GOTV effort. This reporting means nothing.
@krassenstein@MickamiousG Not so. California has a top two system and as we are overwhelmingly Democratic it will probably be two Dems. And Newsom has promised to not fill the seat with one of the candidates. (Me, I’m team Schiff but all 3 are great).
@AshaRangappa_ A few weeks ago we waited an hour and half for luggage after a half hour Ryan Air flight from Dublin. No one working there, no customs or immigration check whatsoever.
@ScotRail I love trains and this was one of my worst transportation days ever. Lack of information, lack of services - and 8 hours with your railroad with no access to drinking water - on a 27 degree day! And a bus with no air conditioning!
@ScotRail your disruption on the Highland line has left us late and almost abandoned. You took us on an overheated bus to Crianlarich, dumped us off at the bottom of a hill, and left us for over an hour at a closed station with no services. Your kind employee fetched water.
