President Biden stated that if an investigation confirms the seven claims of sexual harassment against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo that he should step down.

There’s a possibly apocryphal story about a religious community in India that started using lightboards and magnifiers to more thoroughly maintain their vegan dietary prohibition and all got malnutrition because it turns out the insect protein they’d been ingesting was vital to their diet.

I’m not sure the “Why would girls want to join the Boy Scouts?” does a very adequate job describing the differences between the organizations, particularly compared to the testimony you hear from former scouts who were in families where both boys and girls participated. While is is true that the Boy Scouts have a…

I mean, the “real” version would have to be a more tightly-edited cut that would have been put out for original theatrical release, and that would solve for all the criticism in this review.

I’m expecting and actually kind of hoping for a theatrical cut of this one when theaters reopen. It would fix the main issue cited about this version.

But the only way he could improve is to just edit it shorter... which actually might happen when theaters reopen. Has a theatrical cut ever been made and released after the director’s cut.

I’m kind of hoping for a post-pandemic/theatrical/un-director’s/Brenner cut that’s just the Snyder version cut down to a more standard theatrical length. Considering that the main knock of the Snyder version is its need for tighter editing, I think we would have gotten basically that cut as the “only” version in a…

Oh, but now we’re going to have the un-director’s/Brenner cut, which is actually just the Snyder JL but cut down to theatrical length without his supervision.

My body goes “brrrrr,” which I think means I should eat more beans.

It seems to be even more of an issue in urban cities where building is still difficult so the developers put out something to cover the smell and call the unit “luxury.” That said, I think zoning will always be harsher in suburbs because, even in areas where people are trying to buy their square feet in bulk, people…

I imagine negotiating regional variations must get heated, given how young and informally it’s taught, but also suspect that a lot of the people who don’t know the game either know it by some other name (an older friend of mine was once questioned on his Jewishness because he didn’t know what “holly” was), played…

I’m eating fish every meal but breakfast at this point, partly because my wife got a PKU diagnosis right after I increased our fish-share.

I guess one mental test is to take into account that your location is also by Crown Heights and ask whether your moving in is gentrifying the longstanding Hasidic community there, financially incentivizing the replacement of kosher grocers and restaurants with treifig, and lowering the Jewish density on that block…

I think the block is that between saying that she wants there to be leftovers and saying that she wants to share the food, she’s left herself with no strong argument as to why not to get the fish, particularly if he’s paying and she claims to still have leftovers for several days.

While I’ve been keeping my practice up for some time now, previous returns were usually marked by causing knee pain, particularly one that flares up when moving down slopes and stairs, that lasted for a week or so. From my research and experience, this was “runners’ knee,” and doesn’t actually preclude further runs…

There’s a concept in medicine that any responsibility that doesn’t have an exact assigned times and person (so an hourly activity must be done on the 18 by X) will be done never and by no-one. With picking out a specific group for attention, I think the issue is the same.

Have we gotten numbers? I wasn’t sure how much it was increased incidents versus increased coverage now that there’s a narrative for it (Trump v. China).

Having seen a somewhat similar pattern at IKEA, I think the Clinton couches just don’t convert well to the style of the images.

I like the mid-green, although it’s a little odd from what I’ve read about the era (although I’ve mostly focused on domestic design). The level of saturation is closer to what people would have liked in the transitional fin de siecle period while both craftsman and colonial revival styles would have recommended…

It seems a little weird that the NEA has decided that a German Jew active during WWII is a major threat to “diversity,” particularly given that there’s been nothing from them on Roald Dahl’s virulent antisemitism as far as I can find.
