I think what makes this so enduringly compelling is Holland is not performing it as camp, there’s no winking, no sense that performing a woman’s song and routine is beneath him or something funny or transgressive or uncomfortable. He is completely serious and completely comfortable.

Amazing this needs to be said, but this is why we need to have zero tolerance for, oh, for example, Nazi tattoos. There are still people in the world who believe in the core tenets of Nazism. We can’t let people think they can flirt with this shit and still be allowed in polite society.

This awful incident — a likely Latino man stabbing a Jewish man & an Asian man while allegedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” on the Upper West Side — is simultaneously: 🧵

Almost always, Japan wins this, with US and Canada getting second and third. Australia, Venezuela, and Taiwan have managed to medal once or twice each.

Watching the Women's Baseball World Cup. So far, I think every game involving the US or Canada has ended after five innings because of the mercy rule, with scores like 22-2. US plays Canada tomorrow, so that will at least be a more interesting game.

Blowing of the shofar outside Delaney Hall ICE Detention in Newark last night as 7 NJ synagogues commemorated the solemn holiday Tisha B’av. I hope they could hear it inside: the sound of caring — and hope.

The first question that needs to be asked, before any discussion about the minutia of any given police shooting, before any excuses can be made is simple: "Why only here?" Other countries can go years without a single police homicide. Resisting arrest isn't unique to America.

If this horrific police execution video crosses your timeline consider: - we don’t have to physically witness a murder to know it’s horrific - people who are subject to this type of violence do not have to be repeatedly traumatized by it - you do not have to push violence into people’s timelines

I love her so much

Born to Holocaust survivors, self-described atheist, ambiguous relationship to Israel, in other words he's *extremely* Jewish, also, why the fuck are we ranking Jews on Jewishness?

For genealogy, I don't mind writing the report -- it's writing the citations that I hate.

And domestic workers like cooks and housekeepers.

It deeply bothers me that so many folks have a transportation agenda that is based around positioning cars as "the enemy". Because that gets in the way of a different focus, which is transportation justice. Where everyone's needs are valid.

Speaking of the Odyssey, did you know the books of Homer are mentioned in the Mishnah? The Sadducees and the Pharisees had an argument about them! I tried asking my local carpenter for his take, but he seemed to think it was a trick question and said something weird about casting choices

oh yeah, go out clubbing in any northern town & all anyone is talking about is matt goodwin

It's a swamp -- when it was built in the sixties, places like that were the only land available that hadn't been built up yet. Shea Stadium was built on a similar area, though that one is within the city.

He's already been booed at NY baseball and basketball games -- I think he's just collecting all the sports at this point.
