He claimed that the Marvel movie Black Panther was “created by an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic Marxists” that was “only created to pull the shekels out of your Schvartze pockets”

Holy hell, that’s a very specific kind of antisemitism.

That always makes me think of this great moment from “Men In Black.”

Fedora 39, and it runs beautifully on my gaming laptop. I’m pondering trying out the COSMIC DE for kicks, but I’m also liking GNOME 45.

I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I am a hospital chaplain, so I have been with families as their loved ones have died in settings like this. If you want to talk to someone, I’m here for you.

Thank God I’m not the only one who does this. I want to eat all the yolk, thank you very much. The stuff left on the plate is a waste.

Any film made by Christopher Guest and Wes Anderson. Every one of them are gems.

I composed a choral piece away from a piano at a coffee shop years ago. What I’m most proud of is that the voice leading works really well, and yet the chords are quite interesting. It also helps that I’m a professional musician, but I get a little thrill when I get to conduct or perform that piece.
