From the River to the Sea: A Jewish Perspective" is a daring short film that champions the Palestinian cause for liberation. In an audience heavily influenced by the Zionist narrative and conditioned to dehumanize Palestinians, this film brings forth voices from the "other side" who self-testify to the realities of occupation, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. Featuring distinguished Jewish-American and Israeli perspectives, it echoes the truths that Palestinians have long articulated, offering a powerful counter-narrative that seeks to promote liberation and genuine peace.

I really appreciate that the Chinese swearing video features Cantonese swearing, because let's face it, it's much more versatile than cursing in Mandarin.

There’s some terrible things going on still, but I just wanted to share some things that are good, because sometimes we need that to keep going.

One of the neighbor’s kids, age about 10, I think, came over today and learned what it sounds like when a cat purrs. He said “It sounds like a motor.” It was kind of fun watching him observe this.

I am starting swim lessons again. Hopefully this time I get over my fear of the water for real.  

An mRNA vaccine could be used to treat a type of brain cancer

A 13 year old boy was completely cured of DIPG, the same pediatric brain cancer that killed my neighbor’s son, after completing a study on the effectiveness of different cancer drugs. The other patients in the study are also living longer than expected. 

Modi did not sweep elections in India as expected. 

University workers are making the connection between free speech and labor

I just listened to a Good Food interview with Franco-Palestinian chef Fadi Karan, and immediately ordered his new cookbook Bethlehem. It’s gorgeous. I also came across his series on YouTube, which he filmed during the COVID pandemic, called “Teta’s Kitchen” where he visits various Palestinian grandmothers and talks to them about their cooking. It’s really beautiful. I also ordered the 3rd edition of The Gaza Kitchen, which contains more seafood dishes, and a couple other dishes not found elsewhere. 

I’ve been delighted by this food series Did You Eat Yet? That was created by someone born and raised in Oakland, and his latest video is on the emerging food scene in Castro Valley

About Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, et al, the more convinced I am that they are all the same kind of idiot as Donald Trump except no one bothers to contradict their stupidity because they have money and they are smart enough in other areas where it's not glaringly obvious in the parts where they fail.
