A few months ago I gave Jackie Mason a hard time because of his racist humor. Now Mal Z. Lawrence, another old time Jewish comedian is dead. I never heard of him but what do you know? He's got a similar act, doing racist ethnic dialect. youtube.com/watch?v=XG9ZZE6P…

I just told a rabbi that the word lobster comes from the Hebrew phrase "lev b'seter" -- hidden heart -- and he believed me.

The Sunday shows know that nostalgia sells, which is why 20 years after 9/11 you can still find @LindseyGrahamSC on one of the networks calling for more war.

Lot's of sympathetic Jew-spotting coverage of the last Jew in Afghanistan, but it turns out the reason he won't leave for Israel is that he's a get-refuser! I bet the Taliban could get one out of him. jweekly.com/2021/08/27/after…
#DafYomi where the rabbis discuss whether a groom marrying a virgin is exempt from Shema is absurd. Who is trying to get out of saying it?

But aren't we imagining a virgin teenage boy living in a gender segregated culture and being super shomer nagia?

One would think he wouldn't be straight in either case.
I was bored so I took on a domestic surveillance. Fun to manage, though nothing exciting ever actually happens.

Always makes me mad to see the cases I didn't get. "While reporting this story I was contacted by a well-known private investigator, who was digging into Ali’s past on behalf of another client." lamag.com/mag-features/yasha…
His Babble on Talmud doesn’t seem to be on Twitter, but I’ve really been enjoying #dafyomi shiur by @Srulii . Hits the sweet-spot between yeshivish authenticity and coherence for an outsider.

The pathos is comfortingly less here than YWN's usual appeals about an orphaned widow with no money for her disabled daughter's wedding, but the idea that people (especially haredim, with little internet access) will do background checks on building contractors is absurd.
Learning about the temple sacrificies in #DafYomi, with the kohen gadol running around doing schita, the volume was such that the chagim were a real bloodbath.
