Uriel Simon has died, a scholar on Ibn Ezra and religious activist for peace since the seventies. He was friends with my parents, and sometimes came to visit when he was in town researching or lecturing. Now, I have my father's books, very much including this one. ברוך דיין האמת.

One more thing not on my bingo card.

Rabbi Yitchak Blau decided to stage a one-man protest outside the Knesset today. The signs read END JEWISH VIOLENCE IN THE TERRITORIES and MEMBERS OF KNESSET WHY NO ARRESTS? Comments on his account have people asking to join the next time he does it.

It's a photoshop, but we could dream some Mod Ox Heightser had the courage.

Oyster Man contains multitudes. Oyster Man take me by the hand lead me to the land that you understand.

For me the worst is, It'd be nice if Platner started a fund for hate watch orgs. That'd be some amends for the stupidity. But if people double down and support him, we might not be able to say we're different from Republicans who let young staffers tell edgy jokes because youthful indiscretions.

Pretty unlikely they moves forward on this without talking to the incoming admin at the Department of Ed. Which is supposed to be eliminated, but that aside.

Wikipedia is the last remaining site for AIs to rely on for reliable information. Without Wikipedia LLMs that run everything else will be GIGO. Musk is a Loony Toons character sawing the floor around him in a circle.
