“For Biden, the only good Jews are Zionists – those who support Israel and its settler colonial project. But what about the rest of us? We Jews who reject a conflation of Judaism and Zionism? We Jews who say never again and mean never again for everyone? We Jews who are calling for a free Palestine and an end to Israel’s occupation?”

Don’t be fooled - Biden is the real antisemite
Don’t be fooled by Joe Biden’s recent speech on antisemitism. Biden doesn’t care about Jews unless they share his support for Zionism. The rest of us are enemies of the state.

"Grief is the ultimate interruption of the normalization of mass death and mass murder because in grief, we acknowledge the value of life as we do in no other scenario. We grieve because we love life, because we love those we have lost. We love the living. We know the value of humanity. That is what our grief means to us. And so we retake our humanity, we reclaim public space, and we reclaim this day from a genocidal administration with our grief and with our love, and with our refusal to allow those who are dying to go unacknowledged. We hold this space for them. We say their names. We honor them because they are part of us and we are part of them. And so long as they are dying, there is no justice for any of us. And so there shall be no peace for those who lead us.
I know that many of us are grieving a great deal in these times, and that our grief can at times feel all-consuming. Grief can cause us to shut down, retreat, or turn inward, but I want to remind us that there is power in grief. Because grief refuses the normalization of violence and loss. Our grief is a rejection of dehumanization. By grieving, we are refusing to devalue the lives of those we have lost, and we are refusing to become less human ourselves. We are refusing to sacrifice the parts of ourselves that are soft and permeable enough to facilitate human connection and mutual recognition. In our grief, there is hope for humanity, because in our grief, love and decency persist in the face of atrocity.
I urge you to make space for your grief and to nurture its power. As Rasha Abdulhadi teaches us, “If our hearts break, let them break outward into action."

How to Make Google Show You the Good Search Results Again
Off-target search results are getting more and more common, and we can only lay part of the blame on the results being cluttered with AI-generated junk and human-generated SEO-bait. I don’t have a fix for what people (and bots) are writing, nor can I reach into Google’s ranking algorithm and shuffle the pages around. But I can tell you how to get Google to actually search for the thing you typed in.

The Cowboys want to extend CeeDee Lamb, here's how much it's projected to cost
It makes sense that the Dallas Cowboys would want to extend former first-round pick CeeDee Lamb. He's been one of the most productive receivers in the NFL since entering the league in 2020 - and he's still ascending. In 2023, he led the NFL in targets and receptions, finished second in receiving yards and third in touchdowns. At the same time, the receiver market continues to explode. 15 receivers now make over $20 million per year. Before 2022 that number stood at just three. The sooner the Co…
