I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you and your writing. What is going on in Gaza is so heartbreaking and somehow you bring a sense of understanding and compassion. Thank you. BTW, I love your children and how you parent them.
No, you will not die on "that hill" (sedate quotation marks and lower case replacing hysterical boldface caps denoting misplaced passion). We, your loyal readers, won't allow it. We need your wisdom now more than ever, and for many years to come.
For me, the embellished Cooper nose was merely unnecessary, not an insult. I've advised folks who don't like the idea not to watch it and, while they're at it, to try to develop, ironically enough, a thicker skin.
No clue how you'd go about this, but please let me know if it's possible for you to charge me twice, for two memberships per year, to make up for at least one of the newly unsubscribed wimps.
I know of other writers who've tried a "humanist lens," but it's no use when no one will listen to reason, during a dispute between two sides that feature savages on two continents. In honor of those courageous writers, two subscriptions, please. Thanks.
Please, please, fabulous writer. Get in touch with Jonathan Glazer to see if you can moonlight as his editor. It would do him, the world, and the population of hysterics a lot of good. If you can make new friends for a gruff buff , you can make things right for a human who didn’t quite say what he meant.
I know this is a completely frivolous aside, but do you remember Hugh Grant playing Frédéric Chopin in this BBC 90’s Masterpiece Theatre made for TV movie? And Hugh wore a nose piece and with all the piano scenes the nose piece would jiggle. And they made George Sands out to be some bimbo harlot when in real life she wore men’s trousers, smoked cigars, and was a raging feminist writer. Chopin was a narcissistic, anti-Semitic fop. I think my Dad used to refer to him as “Chopin’” pronounced like chopping wood.
There was a scene at the end of the Hugh Grant Chopin movie where he’s rolling around under the piano stool with a buxomy beauty- a scene I dubbed “Chopin! Chopin! You my man!”
I went to Valdemosa in Mallorca and they have a giant statue of Chopin there- and the nose!

I like the needle you're trying to thread here. Should be a piece of cake to clear all this up once and for all! ;)
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate this. Plus cute kid content for a little levity.

I love the Magic of Jewish. Also - which deli?!

Right? I was, like, SYNTAX MATTERS, dude.

You are the best. Have you read Jews Don't Count? I enjoyed it.
I'm with you all the way on the nose thing.
Lol! About sums it up.
