Power outage "damage to electrical equipment" possibly means some idiot wrecked at a nearby notorious major intersection and took out about 6k households' electricity 🔌

Navi Pillay, Sept. 2012: “Charlie Hebdo is doubly irresponsible to publish these cartoons.” She called the cartoons “malicious and deliberately provocative.” Pillay “fully understands why people wish to protest strongly against the cartoons.”

BREAKING: Denmark's former foreign minister “shocked” over Nobel prize to Navi Pillay. “She is not qualified,” says Per Stig Møller. When Denmark was attacked by Muslims over cartoons of Mohammed, Pillay refused to help. “Her response was that we should introduce censorship.” 🧵

Tomorrow night is Lag BaOmer.
Lag BaOmer is the 33rd day of the Omer.
Yes, Jews count days between holidays.
Because apparently surviving Pharaoh, eating matzah for a week, and vacuuming crumbs out of every known human surface still wasn’t enough. We needed a spiritual Fitbit.
The Omer is the 49-day count between Passover and Shavuot.
Passover is freedom.
Shavuot is Torah.
So the Omer is the bridge between being liberated from Egypt and becoming a people with purpose.
Because Judaism never defines freedom as “do whatever you want.”
That is not freedom.
That is a toddler with scissors.
Freedom without responsibility becomes chaos. Freedom with Torah becomes civilization.
Lag BaOmer lands on day 33.
It is traditionally a break in a more serious period of reflection and semi-mourning. Weddings happen. Music comes back. Haircuts return. Kids run around. Bonfires are lit.
Very Jewish.
We mourn, we count, we argue, we remember, and then someone says, “Anyone bring marshmallows?”
Lag BaOmer is also connected to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, a great Jewish sage associated with Jewish mysticism. His life represents something Jews understand deeply:
Sometimes truth survives underground before it returns as fire.
That is the image of Lag BaOmer.
Fire.
Not destruction.
Illumination.
A flame in the middle of the counting.
A reminder that Jewish history is not just trauma. It is not just exile, persecution, pogroms, inquisitions, Holocaust memory, rockets, hostages, campus mobs, and random Gentiles on the internet explaining Judaism to Jews with the confidence of a drunk raccoon.
Jewish history is also light.
Learning.
Defiance.
Children singing around flames.
Old wisdom refusing to die.
A people who keep counting even when the world keeps trying to count us out.
That is Lag BaOmer.
Not the end of the journey.
A fire along the way.
Still moving from Egypt to Sinai.
Still turning freedom into responsibility.
Still turning survival into purpose.
Still here.
Still counting.
Still burning bright.
Am Yisrael Chai.

"The submarine left the Strait of Hormuz and headed to Lake Erie. Is it some kind of weird revenge? And how old is that sub?"
