Rest can be elusive in the modern world. On today’s episode of The Ezra Klein Show, @ezraklein interviews @JudithShulevitz about the Sabbath, which offers ancient wisdom about the discipline of rest and the community required for it to unfold. https://t.co/pzCl0GRkXN
Between the Hollywood navel gazing in both The Fablemans and Babylon, I can’t help but now root for super hero movies, and only super hero movies, to swallow up every single production going forward

It will take a while but if we can find a way to dampen the gun culture in America through various reform (policy, language, story telling, marketing, etc.) Maybe, just maybe, we’d have a shot (see?) at ending this decades long public health crisis.
It’s true - guns don’t kill people. They’re inanimate objects that require an active participant. Gun culture kills people. The utter ubiquity and normalization of guns and gun availability in our culture makes the option of using a gun way too instinctual. #GunReformNow
Guns exist in other countries. The reason our country has the epidemic of gun violence is that guns and violence are everywhere. In our language (“did they pull the trigger on applying for that job?” “Yea, they killed the interview”). In our media, in our games, etc.
@jasonhegener@ezraklein@mattyglesias Thanks for your feedback Jason! Rest assured I add plenty of compression to the show at multiple stages. Matt is one of the most dynamic speakers we’ve had on the show - I didn’t want to crush his audio so I tried to strike a happy balance.
