Look, @sethmeyers, I'm not looking to steal your material, but there really is no more enjoyable thing to yell at the Canada Geese on my lawn than calling them "stubborn fuckhands." So that's going to be a thing now.

@AkbarSAhmed The language you are using in this thread indicates advocacy of a position based on opinion, not reporting on a story based on facts. Assuming you are the reporter you say you are, you can do better in service of what I presume you believe is an important piece of reporting.

@Anzovina @PFemme2 Indeed, my wife and I were there - and I was very sorry to learn that we missed you. Next time we will have to be better island hosts of our daf reactionary guests!

@newsethwilliams The amazing thing - the truly amazing thing - is that every owner of that bank has gone to the trouble to replace the stone sign above the door instead of leaving it as a monument to the past.

@Anzovina @PFemme2 Oh, the giant thing with the pouring paint right in the middle of the tent? Yup! That was a thing. This raises the obvious philosophical question: if a woman throws paint at Alan Dershowitz, does that make it an egalitarian event?

@Anzovina @PFemme2 Oh sweet mother of Chad we need to talk about this. I think I was there too - it’s a crazy small place and, sometimes, it gets even smaller.

@JoshMalina Speaking as someone who is presently in Jerusalem, where rockets were aimed about twenty-two hours ago, let me just say “what you said.” Also, as far as I’m concerned, the immediate ceasefire folks can absolutely go pound sand.

In my ongoing quest to avoid Twitter except to post light, I offer this: It's become clear to me that @duolingo believes that ducks play a far larger role in my life than is supported by facts.

@dceiver And what "big gamble" was that? The "please let the value go up so I can cover my having spent customer money" gamble? That's not gambling - that's simple theft.

@guycecil Dog whistle? It's not a dog whistle, it's overt.

I said the other night that I was on my way off Twitter and was told that, rather than be pushed away by the cesspool, I should post light instead. So, I will say that ringing in Shabbat with dinner with a group of traveling yeshiva boys is a rollicking good time!

@LuxAlptraum It's hard to discount the role his brother's life and death play in the complicated parts of Bibi's personality. I'm not defending him - I think Bibi has sullied what was a sacred name in Israel. But Yoni has to be a weighty ghost in that dynamic.

I enjoy reading and listening to @liel's work at @tabletmag but often find myself disagreeing with his conclusions - he's far to the right of me. The last several weeks show that he was right & I was wrong about many things, particularly the liberal academy's antisemitic fuckery.

@LuxAlptraum It’s only renewable as long as there is a will to do so. Empathy fatigue is real and leads to resentment.

I know that living on Martha’s Vineyard puts one in the “1% Problems” bracket. I do. But why does no establishment here serve @AviationGin? It’s a long winter. It’s a long, peopley summer. So, so peopley. We need good gin. Help us, @VancityReynolds. You’re our only hope.

@unorthodox_pod Beautifully done. For the record, Regina Spektor saying “Am Yisrael Chai forever” is the moment I had to pull over on the highway and completely lose my shit for a moment.
