@jowrotethis Drink any time Maddow collects her papers and taps them on the table to line them up. Or any time she uses them as a pointer or prop.

[Kim Pearlmutter @kimmer_delson]

Yeah I mean, her husband is Jewish, some of that "don't name the good thing cause if you do it won't happen" philosophy was bound to rub off.

New: There is one discussion Kamala Harris will not entertain in earnest right now, even in private: who might serve in a future Harris Cabinet and administration.

That refusal is, at least in part, rooted in superstition. w/ @Kevinliptakcnn @priscialva https://t.co/xPM1ai90G3

@JewishWonk @Neil4birds The show is on at 10pm. No one who’s undecided is casually watching CNN at 10 pm, especially when it’s up against Monday night football.

@JewishWonk Never realized until just now that this is basically my entire personality.

@samstein He’s describing himself.

@TPM @Kate_Riga24 @joshtpm Happy birthday, Kate Riga. 🎂

Whether you’re a fan of Hallowe’en or not, you have to give it credit for being the last line of defence against Christmas advancing even earlier into the year, a ragtag gang of goths holding the line against a battalion of baubled barbarians

@clhubes Reading this between rounds of ironing letters onto my kids costumes after my husband asked me “what are they being for Halloween”…

@MathewsonPhD Can’t think of anything that will play better in rural Pennsylvania than a bunch of people with foreign accents telling them who to vote for.

The one good thing about hurricanes is that no one can get their period during them because it is the rule

[Kim Pearlmutter @kimmer_delson]

@clhubes I’m happy to be wrong. It just didn’t sound like something a 4 yr old would say in my experience.

[Kim Pearlmutter @kimmer_delson]

@clhubes Sure but when you're driving by in a car and it's a building you've never been to, how do you know it's a daycare?

[Kim Pearlmutter @kimmer_delson]

@clhubes any opportunity to repost this

[Kim Pearlmutter @kimmer_delson]

@clhubes File this under "conversations that never happened."

[Kim Pearlmutter @kimmer_delson]

Anecdote is the opposite of evidence but I taught middle and high school English and we routinely required kids to read entire books.

[Yoni Appelbaum @YAppelbaum]

1. Large numbers of students are arriving at highly selective universities unprepared to read a book cover-to-cover—because no teacher has ever asked them to before, reports @rosehorowitch https://t.co/uGdkhrCa2J

@AoDespair For sure. But it’s even worse for him that Israel intercepted pagers bought elsewhere. You can’t trust technology at all, Cenk. Best hop offline and toss your electronics, just to be safe.

[Kim Pearlmutter @kimmer_delson]

@JamesSurowiecki It’s also a pretty straightforward blood libel. Replace “Haitians” with “Jews” and “pets” with “children” and you’ve got the exact lie that got Jews murdered for hundreds of years in Europe.

@clhubes My preferences are 1) at night before midnight, since I’m a night owl so I’m usually awake. Then 2) any time in the middle of the night. The worst for me is anything after 5am, cause that’s too close to when I wake up to be able to go back to bed.
