Gov. Josh Shapiro

[Eppy99]

It seems clear enough that both things are true.

I'm far from any sort of expert in psychology, so I'll like mix up ideas or terms and am open to corrections. But this guy seems like a sociopath. He not only turned himself in, he calmly announced that he'd have murdered Gov. Shapiro had he been given that opportunity.

I'm sure Gaza played a key role in his motivation. But somebody as deranged as this could've been fixated on anything.

Years ago, former Evansville mayor Russell Lloyd (he'd only been out of office for a couple months) was murdered at his house by a woman who was pissed off about a building inspector coming to her house to inspect a renovation she'd done. She mistakenly thought he was still in office -- and this was her motivation to find out where he lived, ring his doorbell, and then shoot him when he answered.

I’m honestly kind of surprised he watches the news. Doesn’t quite seem like that kind of guy.

I don’t keep. My wife and oldest do. I have nothing to prove to a higher being.

Matzah tastes like cardboard. I can’t do it. Pizza, toppings, etc. don’t change my view on it. I’d rather just eat the other stuff (deli meat and cheese on its own).

Matzah kugel and matzah ball soup I’m down with.

I will swear upon my life my mom‘s matzo ball soup is the best in the world.

By the way, are you aware of the Matzah pizza you can buy in town?

An out of my ass explanation:

As social media has replaced other forms of entertainment like TV and movies, people have transferred that same sensibility to the news to the extent it is disseminated on social media. (Corollary: this started with reality TV, blurring the lines between fact and fiction). So a lot of people are now overlaying the structure of a fictional story to real life and create the good guys v. bad guys dynamic that is also heavily influenced by today's tribalism (and the anti-hero dynamic that's been around for decades now along with conspiracy themed shows).

Everybody has a forum now. Interesting that Douglas Murray (who I like-most of the time), addressed this issue on the Joe Rogan podcast the other day.

This is the video I wanted, but it does the job of illustrating Murray's concerns:

Politicians and the regular media have also fanned the flames. Convincing people to hate the other party makes it so politicians have more freedom to do as they please without fear of losing votes. It has stopped being about what they are doing and more about fear of what the other side would do. Thus, there is no accountability on election day because voters think the other side is a socialist or fascist and will continue voting their side regardless of what they have done in office.

Well now I need to try it and compare... does she do anything special / specific to spice it up?

What do you mean by buy in town? We make it at home, but are you saying there is a better way?

Matzah crack is pretty good.

Meh, consistency still isn't as good as a wafer or something else. I mean, you could just eat frosting, no?

The best version I had was chocolate w/toffee, but I'd still opt for a better option

Chocolate dipped Matzah is my fave.

My mom cooks a whole chicken along with the vegetables to create the stock. She pulls the bird out, strains the vegetables then throws them in the food processor and back into the soup. The matzah balls themselves aren’t any better than I’ve had but the soup stick is rich with flavor.

As for the pizza. Hot Box Pizza here in Indy is owned by a Jewish family and they sell the pizza every year. It’s not the greatest but will do during Passover.

Yes that’s what we made, with both toffee and chocolate.

Nice! The soup flavor and the consistency of the balls (earmuffs @zeke4ahs !) are the keys to top tier quality.

My MIL gets the balls really nice and fluffy, but could use more flavor besides salt and pepper IMO

Do you guys wanna take this to the Jewish culinary delights board?

Gotta get the balls right.

Gotta get the balls right.

Could make jokes all night long like a 7th grade boy.

You are what is wrong with this country. YOU. a person who is so closed-minded and entrenched in his party that in the face of FACTS will disregard same to act as a shill. Don’t look to anywhere else. It is you.
