Israelis crack me up. Someone built an app that estimates how safe it is to take a shower. If a siren sounds, you don’t want to be running to a shelter soaking wet and covered in soap. The app analyzes recent patterns of rocket fire to estimate the safest time of day to shower.

Of course some genius Israelis invented an app where you can scan a barcode and see who’s single in the shelter 😂

@DanFriedman81 Jerry Stiller once said that the Costanzas were Jewish - in the Witness Protection Program.

Early NBC notes about “Seinfeld” were about concerns the show was “too Jewish,” and Jewish themes were toned way, way down. There is an early episode called “The Pony Remark,” where Jerry suggests that anyone who owned a pony as a child is spoiled and offends an elderly relative, and the joke is clearly that the relative who had the pony is a Holocaust survivor, but this is never expressly stated because the show was avoiding acknowledging that Jerry was Jewish. There is also the ridiculous contention that George, who is played by Jewish Jason Alexander doing an exaggerated impression of Larry David, is Italian. This conceit is maintained even when George’s father, played by extremely Jewish Jerry Stiller, creates a new holiday called “a Festivus for the rest of us” because he doesn’t celebrate Christmas. Further absurdity arises in an episode about how Elaine, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who is literally a descendant of Alfred Dreyfus of the Dreyfus affair, has “shiksappeal.”

I think my favourite Seinfeld fact is that, according to a survey conducted at its peak, about 75% of the audience had no idea Jerry Seinfeld was supposed to be Jewish. They just assumed all New Yorkers were like that.

I’ve gone back and forth in my head whether to write this, but honestly, I can’t hold it in anymore. DOING IT IN THE CAR RIGHT OUTSIDE THE MIKVAH IS NOT TZNIUS! PEOPLE CAN SEE YOUR SUV ROCKING BACK AND FORTH

I never thought I’d see it, but now the Jewish political horseshoe is truly complete. If you’re on the left, all Jews are billionaires. If you’re on the right, all Jews are on welfare. 🤷‍♀️🧲

@HilzFuld Just watched "Bad Shabbos." I expected it to be so-so based on the title alone. Tt was actually laugh-out-loud funny.

Movie recommendation! What’s a good movie on Netflix or Apple TV that is light enough for my brain to rest but also not dumb enough to kill brain cells? Something easy to watch but not dumb. Thanks.

Rabbi Linda Goldstein’s endorsement doesn’t erase Mamdani’s toxic record. While he collects performative rabbinic praise, remember: Mamdani refused to sign the Holocaust commemoration resolution, rapped about the Holy Land Five (convicted Hamas funders), and still won’t condemn “globalize the intifada” rhetoric. Andrew Cuomo showed up with security grants for synagogues. Mamdani shows up with slogans that embolden antisemites. Progressive rabbis can’t whitewash his alliance with extremists who’d torch Jewish safety for ideological points. Real protection isn’t hashtags—it’s action. Mamdani’s track record? All risk, no resolve.

Did any journalist even bother to fact check Zohran Mamdani’s teary eyed claims about an aunt in NYC or were they too busy jerking off to this story? Because it looks like Mamdani’s only aunt doesn’t even wear a hijab and has never lived in New York: devex.com/people/masuma-…

Zohran through tears: “My aunt stopped taking the subway after 9/11 because she did not feel safe in her hijab.” Yes, she was the real victim of 9/11

• Mamdani: “Muslims in New York are oppressed by an unparalleled Islamophobia that forces them to hide in fear for their safety!” • Meanwhile, Reality: laughs in NYPD hate crime stats¹ 📊 Because nothing screams “unparalleled oppression” quite like being ten times less targeted than Jews — who make up 70% of all religious/ethnic hate crime victims in NYC. But sure, Zohran — tell us more about how you’re the ones living in fear. 🙄

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

I just launched The York New Times -- a newspaper that automatically rewrites every biased article on @nytimes with @grok to get rid of pro-terrorism sympathies and wokeness. Share for a free subscription.

Is it normal or something now to call people at 6 AM? I’ve had two friends call me at that time in less than a month and I think it’s just rude! 🤬🤬

There's an explicitly Antisemitic group that meets near my house every Tuesday. It's called "crownheightsbitesback" They're active on Instagram and have been increasingly belligerent over the past few months. The deal in the odious antisemitic trope of the Jewish landlord, and trade in the dangerous lie that Jews living in Brooklyn (let alone a historically Jewish neighborhood like Crown Heights) are somehow engaged in a settler-colonialist project.
