@girlziplocked A lot of large cities (including LA) don't provide school buses except in special circumstances. So if your kid isn't old enough to take the public bus and it's too far to walk/bike, it's your only option

@Russ_Agdern @JewishWonk After having kids and in light of the RA's teshuva on kitniyot in 2015 we started eating it last year and I highly recommend it
English
@JewishWonk Since we started doing Pesach in a current plague, i've joined team kitniyos and am not looking back.
English
Saw a clip of a Bukharian comedian heckling Ashkenazim by yelling "eat some rice."
Why is this week different from all other weeks? The burns are better

@zackamenetz Subscribed (and click here to cover credit card fees so 100% of your donation goes to [shul]”

Starting a podcast where I make fun of a random shul’s website every week.

@outlandishjosh I mean, my friend told me this. I'd obviously never use it myself.
English
@xmatt Are they good at that? I could see it. Dangerous if so. "Solved a problem with a regex? Congratulations! Now you have two problems." 🤪
English
The old programming joke about so much of the work just being munging strings. Still the case! Having AI write code for you just means you also have the equivalent of a junior dev copy/pasting stuff from Stack Overflow to oversee.

@simko_bednarski They should really bump the Debian distro. Long-term support for stretch ended in 2022

Countdown clocks at the Franklin Ave C train station 🙃

@JakeBofBvdSG @politicalmath The census count includes children and non-citizens. I'm not claiming to know the precise reason for the magnitude and sign of the discontinuity, just the reason for the existence of a discontinuity. OP alleges a vast conspiracy with no evidence of an actual conspiracy.
English
This is the first time I've seen this chart and I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist but also what the hell is going on here?

The 2020 census was incorrect on purpose bc sweeping PA, MI, and WI, & that being enough for a democrat win, is enormously important for the current US agency/Dem party setup. 2020 is the only year in the last decade+ where states like IL had huge growth. See both images below.

@HannahLebovits Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. They will be missed.
English
@HannahLebovits I agree with you although I have to say, as a member of a egalitarian shul in LA that’s exactly where you’d expect to see vision boards et al, I’ve never seen anyone do this at the high holidays
English
@mindyisser My eldest daughter's most insane meltdown (age 2) was when her toy necklace slid under our bed out of her reach, and she was shouting "NECKLACE!" for about 15 solid minutes before we realized what had happened
English
@MadJoyTrimble @smeadleonard I think they're basically romanticizing the last few years of college life before omnipresent social media
English
@smeadleonard Haha, I had just sent this tweet to another of our college friends! It was a very romanticizable time, indeed.
Janet made MGMT her ringtone!
English
As someone who started at Wesleyan in 2005 (when MGMT were just-graduated The Management and we had a demo version of “Kids” on loop), can confirm 2006 was a great time to be in college and they’re right to romanticize us.
Kylie Robison@kyliebytes
the kids are on tiktok romanticizing MGMT and being a college student in 2006, just thought i'd let yall know
English
@christapeterso What you don't get, because you, quote, "don't give a shit" about Jews' own self-definition, is that Ashkenazi refers to a liturgical rite and set of customs, not an "ethnic group" which wasn't really a concept familiar to them at the time. It absolutely still exists as such.
English
Israelis and Americans are only “Ashkenazi Jews” in the sense in which Americans are Irish Catholics; the full fledged ethnic group that was a prominent part of Europe for centuries is all but gone. It is an unfathomable loss
English
love pancakes>hate waffles but instead of hating waffles it is supporting genocide given the right ancestry
English
@christapeterso Believe whatever you want about Zionism’s use of these beliefs in its messaging, but you’re embarrassing yourself by condescending to Jews like this without understanding or giving a shit about our actual beliefs.
English
@christapeterso But Jews *do* give a shit. That we’re directly continuous with the ancient Israelites is about as important to Judaism as “Jesus died for our sins” is to Christianity. You can’t post this and expect to not piss off a bunch of Jews.
English
@LindseyPHorvath There cannot possibly be a serious need for the entire LA county Board of Supervisors to travel to Paris to “observe the Olympics.” If you’re going to blow our tax money on this, at least have the decency not to publicly taunt us with it.
English
Bonjour! 🇫🇷
Here with my colleagues for the Paris 2024 Olympics, where we're getting a firsthand look at preparation for the games & learnings we can take back to LA!
Together, we're working to ensure a safe, sustainable, & unforgettable experience for all Angelenos in 2028!

@daniela127 Anyone with one Jewish grandparent is eligible for the right of return, so he does, and their declaration here is clearly immaterial to that if he later decided to exercise it.
English
@HannahLebovits I think it's ok if some people come to shul primarily to schmooze and aren't that interested in davening. We should support that and make sure they have to space to do it where it doesn't distract people who are very keen to focus on davening (which is also good).
English
@HannahLebovits Good: community of regulars, post-service kiddush and dinner/lunch (or way to match people for hosting/guesting), participatory singing, way to sonically separate schmoozers from daveners (both are important!)
Bad: excessive sermonizing re: both length and politics
English
@danslimmon It stands for "YIKES Is a Kubernetes Estimation System" but this still doesn't explain what it does
English
had an idea for an open source tool called "yikes." no idea what it should do yet, taking suggestions
