I suppose putting this year to rest would be a good thing for me, since a couple of really bad things happened in my life this year.  Hoping for better things in 2023.

Belated RIP Terry Hall of the Specials.  

 I'm just going to say it.  I'm really happy Christmas is over.  Really boring holiday if you're Jewish, and all your friends who celebrate it are busy.

 

This is just ridiculous.  I'm seeing this Hitler quote on just about every Jewish-related video on Youtube that I go to.  If people think anti-semitism is not real, it is.  I may have been sheltered from it as a child and even in college, but the last couple years have taught me that I am just not safe anymore.   From anti-semitic comments and gestures from co-workers who didn't know I was Jewish, to swastikas drawn in bathrooms, and callers who go off on Jews, this is a really big problem.   That along with the most recent spamming from multiple people of videos of the news feature on my grandma.     

 I really wish the new Puss In Boots movie was a remake, so a critic could say "This 'aint your momma's Puss In Boots from back in 1976," and just be comparing the new version to the old one.  

This just in: The composer of the Twin Peaks theme passed away.  

Within hours of the news feature on my grandma being posted on Youtube, the comment section was spammed with alt-right antisemitic crap.
