I just finished East of Eden this morning. I'm not religious at all but Steinbeck looked me in the eye and said: you are not destined to be your worst self; you are not condemned by your past; you get to choose, every single day, you get to choose. This book doesn't need you to believe in God (I judged it too harshly and quickly). It only needs you to believe in people...the terrifying, beautiful fact that we are capable of both darkness and light, and that the choice between them is always, stubbornly, ours. Honestly, one of the most devastating things I've ever read.

Rest in peace to Gene Shalit, a man whose Kermit the Frog interview went absolutely off the rails in 1984.

Nobody has interviewed a Muppet like this since.

The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

"I survived the Holocaust as a child, when a million and a half Jewish children perished because of their being Jewish. How dare I be pessimistic about the future of Jewish life?"

RIP. America stopped cooking up Civil War-obsessed environmentalists who use their vast wealth and media influence to show classic movies 24/7 commercial free and I want to know WHY

As I walked down the steps with Queen Camilla, I couldn’t help but wonder, if she could find love after fifty with Charles, why couldn’t I bounce back from Big?

LIZ LEMON: I'm really not even a Knicks fan.

TRACY JORDAN: I would much rather be at the ballet.

LIZ LEMON: Tracy, you like ballet?

TRACY JORDAN: Who among us has never been captivated by the grace and dexterity of Vaslav Nijinsky in Petipa's Le Talisman, Liz Lemon?

Queen Camilla attended a literacy event at the iconic New York Public Library today on behalf of her charity The Queen’s Reading Room. And guess who she bumped into? 🤔

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

With great sadness, we received information of the passing of Edith Eva Eger, an Auschwitz Survivor.

Edith was born on 29 September 1927 in a Jewish family in Budapest. She was the youngest daughter of Lajos and Ilona Elefánt.

She attended a gymnasium and took ballet lessons. She was a member of the Hungarian Olympic gymnastics team. In 1942, the Hungarian government enacted new anti-Jewish laws, and she was removed from the gymnastics team.

In March 1944, after Nazi Germany installed a pro-German regime in Hungary, Edith Eger was forced to live in the Kassa (Košice) ghetto with her parents and her sister Magda. In May of that year, they were deported to Auschwitz. She was separated from her mother, who was murdered in a gas chamber.

In November 1944, Edith and Magda were consigned to ammunition trains and slave labor. In May 1945, they were liberated from Gunskirchen - one of the subcamps of Mauthausen.

After the war, Edith Eger moved to the United States. She became a psychologist and a specialist in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Edith Eger was 98 years old.

[Only In Boston @OnlyInBOS]

Dick Hoyt ran the Boston Marathon 32 times pushing his son Rick.

Rick once said, “Dad, when I’m running, it feels like I’m not even handicapped.”

A Boston Legacy.

They said no. She ran anyway. In 1966, Bobbi Gibb ran the Boston Marathon after being told women weren’t allowed — becoming the first woman to complete the race. Now, thousands follow in her footsteps. https://t.co/jHsnqxOr1a

[Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis @chiefrabbi]

Last night yet another synagogue, this time in Kenton, was targeted in a cowardly arson attack. It follows the attack in Finchley on Wednesday and the attempted attack on what was the Jewish Futures building in Hendon on Friday night, making three Jewish sites attacked in London in less than a week.
A sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community of the UK is gathering momentum. This sustained attack on our community’s ability to worship and live in safety is an attack on the values that bind us all together. Thank God, no lives have been lost, but we cannot, and must not, wait for that to change before we understand just how dangerous this moment is for all of our society.

[US Department of the Interior @Interior]

From the steeple of Old North Church in Boston, two lanterns signaled that British troops were on the move.

Paul Revere rode more than 12 miles, alerting a network of riders and local leaders who mobilized the militia at Lexington and Concord.

While several riders played roles that night, Revere’s swift warning became a symbol of American resistance and helped spark the first battles of the Revolutionary War. 🐎
