listen I expected literally Nothing from the D&D movie okay, like I can't make it clear enough that I expected the most soulless money grab with a good cgi budget imaginable, I went in having already gone through every stage of grief and landed on acceptance and LISTEN

I fucking CRIED during this dumb RPG movie. it wasn't just "not terrible" it was objectively good with a clever plot and compelling characters and sincere emotional beats. this movie loves D&D so fucking much and it NAILS the "a bunch of goobers try to be cool and accidentally discover The Power Of Friendship And Also Great Violence" classic D&D party vibe. their barbarian's last name is fucking Kilgore and my entire family cried in the theater.

I hope they make twelve of these motherfuckers.

I'm gonna be honest here: one of the more exhausting parts of the online discourse is how much of a tightrope I am always on, that those of us who care about human rights for all human beings are always on, because any statement made in favor of the "other" side is ripe for tokenism.

I, as a Jew, care about the safety and human rights of Palestinians and Arab Israelis. You will never convince me that there is an ethical way to kill civilians, especially children. You will never convince me that police brutality against citizens marching for their civil rights is necessary. You just can't. And yet I have to be so careful when/where I say that and how I say that, because too often this simple acknowledgement that all people are created in the image of Hashem and should be treated accordingly is ripped out of context and placed between a deluge of other posts denying my people that very same acknowledgement. The number of times I have said these things, only to go into the reblogs and see my words surrounded on all sides with violent antisemitism? I've lost count.

And guess what? It's made me less effective as an advocate, it has actively silenced me from speaking up sometimes, because I refuse to be your "good Jew," your token, somebody whose words can be misconstrued to kasher your vile hatred of my people. And to be very clear: Jewish Israelis are my people just as much as fellow diaspora yidden are, and they deserve better from both goyim and diaspora Jews alike.

And I've seen this go the other way, too: I've seen Palestinian activists and journalists who are trying very hard to balance the values of respecting other people (including Israelis and/or Jews writ large) as fellow human beings with the pain that their people are currently suffering. And I've seen their words ripped out of context and used to excuse more violence against them and their people.

And then there are lots of other people - genuinely well-intentioned people who are trying to learn from me - who keep treating me like I'm some paragon of nuance. I'm trying, truly, but I'm Just Some Guy. You know what I do? It's extremely simple and I promise you can do it too, any of you, if you slow down long enough to think before putting anything out there: "Would I say this about my brother? My mom? My daughter? My people? Would I be happy if the person I loved most on this earth was living under these circumstances and being talked about in whatever way I'm about to speak? Would it feel victim-blaming? Would it feel disrespectful of their struggle or dishonest? Does it ignore their history or trauma? Is it actually helping?" These are the types of questions I try very hard to ask myself every time I post about the conflict, about both sides. I try to talk about this as if the people on both sides were my family. Because truthfully? They are. Am Yisrael is a family, before anything else. Palestinians are our closest cousins. This war is a bloodbath and a tragedy, and everyone is suffering. For those of us who are not living there, please remember this and have some respect.

The Dance is over, Alain Delon…

French legend actor Alain Delon passed away today, Sunday, August 18, at the age of 88, his three children announced Sunday morning in a joint press release sent to AFP. “Alain Fabien, Anouchka, Anthony and Loubo (his dog) are immensely sad to announce the departure of his father. He passed away peacefully at his home in Douchy, surrounded by his three children and his family. They requested respect for the intimacy of the immense pain of grief."

Claudia Cardinale through her official IG account published a heartfelt message:

"They ask me for words but the sadness is too intense. I join the pain of their children, their loved ones, their fans… The dance is over. Tancredi has gone up to dance with the stars… Forever yours, Angelica".

Claudia and Alain met for first time in 1959 at a gala in Rome, when Claudia was starting out in the world of cinema and they started a beautiful friendship:

Their first film together was "Rocco and his brothers" in 1960:

Then both met again on the recording set of "Il gattopardo" in 1963 as the leading couple "Tancredi and Angelica":

And in 1966 they shared scenes again in "Lost Command":

A friendship that lasted from 1959 until today 2024 and that will always be eternal.

For my part, the departure of this legend called Alain Delon hurt me a lot, I woke up learning of his departure and it was inevitable to cry; I had to make this small tribute to Alain yes or yes because he was a great friend to Claudia, his departure hurt me a lot but I am consoled that Alain was reunited with the people he loved so much, especially the beautiful Romy Schneider, the great love of his life.

"I will leave this world without regret. Life no longer has anything to offer, I have seen it all, I have experienced it all. But above all I hate the current era. Everything is false, everything has been replaced, there is no respect for the word given, now the only thing that matters is money and wealth! I know I will leave this world without regrets!" - - Alain Delon.
