The 6 largest publishers in the country, PRH, Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins Publishers, Macmillan Publishers, Simon & Schuster, and Sourcebooks, are all suing the state of Florida for censorship. They’re claiming Ron DeSantis’ new law is unconstitutional and has unfairly pulled hundreds of books pulled from school libraries following right-wing challenges. Florida Karens have been pulling books from Judy Bloom, Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, and Stephen King…and publishers have had enough. Are MAGA and Elon gonna start crying about this or nah?

Ori Danino, 25, was taken captive from the Nova music festival on October 7. Despite having escaped, Ori made the courageous decision to turn back and save others, sacrificing his own safety. After leaving the party with a car full of people, he asked his friend for the phone number of those they had just met, saying he was going back to rescue them. That was the last time his friend heard from him. His fiancée, Liel, last spoke to him at 8:34 a.m., when he told her he was driving like a maniac and that they would talk later. The three people Ori went back to save are known to have been taken hostage in Gaza. Ori, from an ultra-Orthodox family in Jerusalem, lived in Givat Zeev. He was engaged to be married this year. He gave his life trying to save others. May he rest in peace 💔

#BREAKING The IDF confirms it retrieved the bodies of 6 murdered hostages from Gaza. 🕯️ Ori Danino 🕯️ Carmel Gat 🕯️ Hersh Goldberg 🕯️ Alex Lubnov 🕯️ Almog Sarusi 🕯️ Edan Yerushalmi According to the IDF, the six were murdered by Hamas a short while, possibly around a day or two, before troops found them. The entire Jewish people is wrapped in grief. Our hearts are broken for the 6 souls we couldn’t bring home and for their shattered families 💔

Hamas kidnapped him from a music festival after murdering hundreds of fellow concert goers in cold blood. They amputated his arm, tortured him for months in dark underground tunnels. Then they finally executed him. 23 years old. American citizen. Kidnapped and executed because he was Jewish. Hamas is a disgusting evil terror group and I will forever hate every single person who supports them

Hersh Goldberg-Polin is an American hero who will be remembered for his kindness and selflessness. Our hearts break for Jon, Rachel, and their entire family, as well as the other families who found out today their loved ones won’t be coming home. May their memory be a blessing.

@TaliaRinger It was 10 years ago, so I can’t be sure, but I’m pretty sure just whatever was standard bloodwork in pregnancy. Like we didn’t do any additional bloodwork investigation into the pica. It went away as soon as I delivered and I’ve never had it again.

So I'm having really intense non-food-item cravings (30 weeks pregnant), particularly of hot asphalt and leather. I'm trying to figure out what nutrients I'm deficient in. Any ideas? The only food item that sounds about as good right now is sea urchin

@Darinstrauss Wow. That’s really insulting. And yes, of course we can be in favor of Palestinian freedom, 1A rights for protestors, and also Title VI rights for all students.

@beccasaltz When I politely suggested that one could be Pro-Palestinian, concerned with what's happening in Gaza, and still be wary of Jewish students getting banned from parts of campus, he said: "What happened to you, man?"

Not sure what's more surprising: seeing this in a court order in 2024, or the fact that UCLA filed an appeal challenging the injunction. (Times headline on top; below it, the ruling)

@Darinstrauss Perhaps there’s some legal reasoning I don’t understand here, but “actually we would like to have zones on campus that are judenrein” isn’t a good look
