I'm not big into getting brachot from holy people, but I would make an exception to get a bracha from one very holy Jew, Agam Berger.

Signed with a real estate agent to sell my home. Potential buyer approached me before they listed on the MLS. Agent told me verbally no commission if I went with that buyer. I did and now I get a bill for their commission. I know I should've got it in writing. I trusted a yid

“As a Jew living under Seleucid occupation, I urge you to support Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Jewish safety depends on a strong, multiracial Hellenistic democracy, and Antiochus is the one fighting to protect it.”

explored the connection between the Tanna Sumchos and the Jewish translator Symmachus. Wish I could find more biographical details on Sumchos (+ why isn't he called Rabbi?!)

A guy rigged up AI glasses and a MacBook running the strongest chess engine on the planet so he could cheat at chess in a park. Then on his third move, he played something that engine would have told him never to play. The move kicks off a trap called the Blackburne Shilling Gambit. The story goes that Joseph Blackburne, the top English player of his day, used it to win a shilling a game off amateurs in London cafés back in the 1800s. Historians aren't sure he ever actually played it, but the trap was already in print by 1895, when world champion Wilhelm Steinitz wrote it up and called the move weak and a waste of time. Here's the trick. Black jumps a knight into the middle of the board and leaves a pawn sitting there for free. It's supposed to look like a beginner mistake. If White takes the pawn, Black's queen comes flying out, and if White keeps grabbing stuff, the game can be over by move 7. If White just ignores the bait, Black is stuck in a bad position. Chess author Graham Burgess wrote that White comes out of it with a large advantage. The whole thing only works on someone who can't resist a free pawn. And that's exactly the kind of move Stockfish won't give you. It picks every move assuming the person across from you finds the best answer every single time, so a trap that needs your opponent to blunder is about the last thing it would ever suggest. I love that the most high-tech cheating rig I've seen this year is running a café hustle from the 1800s that the engine itself thinks is bad. Watch her fourth move.
This guy used Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, AI, and a MacBook to cheat at chess game.

HBO's @LastWeekTonight has a long track record of citing social science findings without the appropriate context, massaging them to support whatever point @iamjohnoliver is trying to make.

Considering my local synagogue was attacked two days ago and a swastika was found carved into the LIRR seat three days ago, I would say this warrants some consideration.

New Yorkers deserve an Attorney General who takes action against antisemitism. Letitia James has had her chance and she’s failed. It’s time for a new AG.
