Great. The NYT just published an article on "The 8 Buildings You Must See in Stockholm." I visited Stockholm several years ago and didn't see a single one of those buildings. I now realize that my entire week there was for nothing.

Seriously? It would have been SO easy to clue 53D in a way that didn't require a bogus non-word in 55A.

@HenMazzig Extracurricular activities are important to have on your applications if you want to get into an Ivy League school like Columbia.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

This is why there is such a need for a strong and independent Jewish state. When even the most advanced democracies can’t keep this ancient evil in check, a refuge is absolutely necessary.

@AustralianJA Just wait until they learn who their university was named after.

The first thing to note is Hamas murdered helpless captives. The rest is not commentary, there is much to consider and discuss but above all: Hamas murdered helpless captives.

[David Oberman @daveoberman]

@NTarnopolsky Because the alternative is El Al.

[Dennis Ross @AmbDennisRoss]

The world is upside down when there are those who criticize the Israelis for rescuing their kidnapped hostages. Hamas fires on them, trying to kill those being rescued and their rescuers. The IDF fires on Hamas and civilians get killed. Why is it so hard for some to blame Hamas?

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

This is exactly what I have been saying. If you think the U.S. would have done things differently in Gaza, you are right, we would have used overwhelming military force to achieve the goals of returning our hostages, removing the group that attacked us from power & destroying their military & capabilities, as quickly as possible. Don’t take it from me, take it from the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who would have given the options on how to respond to our President.

Reading a lot of tweets that go:
"These events at Harvard/Yale/Columbia make me so ashamed of my degree from Harvard/Yale/Columbia and did I mention that I have a degree from Harvard/Yale/Columbia? Is there possibly a way to mention it a third time before I run out of ... "

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

UN: unwilling to condemn Hamas who killed, raped, mutilated and tortured more than 1,000 Israeli babies, children, women, and elderly.

Also UN:

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Hard disagree.

Israel shouldn’t face isolation when Hamas terrorists are still present and hiding behind civilians.

Hamas owns this humanitarian catastrophe and must surrender, release the hostages NOW, or be eliminated.

Swap in Islamophobia and whatever Muslim country you want here and see what you think.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

It is troubling to me that many people, especially on the left, seem to acknowledge and even celebrate this right to statehood for every group but the Jews.

Jews have a human right to their own state just as any other people do, Palestinians included.

[David Oberman @daveoberman]

@UNRWA Here are some words: "This is a direct result of Hamas's crimes against humanity, crimes in which UNRWA is deeply complicit." Does that help?

[Jake Wallis Simons @JakeWSimons]

You know what’s missing from this? UNRWA condemnation of any attempts by Hamas to build tunnels under UN buildings and use international organisations as human shields. That’s what’s missing, Philippe

[Fania Oz-Salzberger 🇮🇱🕊️🟣 פניה עוז-זלצברגר @faniaoz]

The IDF actually found cables in the #UNRWA communications center directly feeding the tunnel below, but UNRWA had no clue.

If Foreigner gets in, there will be two inductees named Mick Jones. I can already see the potential for a mistaken-identity bedroom farce: "Micks-Up."

[David Oberman @daveoberman]

And, once again, Spinal Tap and Weird Al Yankovic get passed over. Not to mention the Pixies and the B-52s. Nice to finally see Ozzy on the ballot as a solo artist, though.

[David Oberman @daveoberman]

If Peter Frampton gets in, I hope he gives his entire acceptance speech with the talkbox.
