Baby Books Are a Necessity
You may think you’re off the hook with books until your baby is at least vertical, but not so. Even newborns benefit from the experience of hearing stories (and they can’t complain about your taste in books). So take advantage. Here’s how:

by scott owens you wake wanting the dream you left behind in sleep, water washing through everything, clearing away sediment of years, uncovering the lost and forgotten. you hear the sun breaking on cold grass, on eaves, on stone steps outside. you see light igniting sparks of dust in the air. you feel for the first time in years the world electrified with morning. you know something has changed in the night, something you thought gone from the world has come back: shooting stars in the pasture, sleeping beneath a field of daisies, wisteria climbing over fences, houses, trees. this is a place that smells like childhood and old age. it is a limb you swung from, a field you go back to. it is a part of whatever you do. “the arrival of the past” by scott owens from down to sleep. © main street rag publishing company, 2016. reprinted with permission. (buy now) it is the birthday of french existentialist philosopher and writer jean paul sartre (books by this author), born in paris (1905). among his most well known works: no exit, nausea, and the roads to freedom trilogy. unlike his existentialist colleague albert camus   who achieved something akin to movie star status in their homeland of france with his traditionally handsome looks   sartre stood just five feet tall, had a lazy eye, and dressed in oversized clothes. still, sartre caught the attention of a young woman by the name of simone de beauvoir as the two studied for the national competitive exam for a career as a schoolteacher. sartre scored first in the class, and beauvoir a close second. the two began a lifelong intellectual and romantic courtship. beauvoir would herself become a prominent philosopher and feminist scholar. shortly after their meeting, sartre was drafted into the french army to serve as meteorologist. he was captured by the germans and kept as a prisoner of war for nearly a year. he became an outspoken marxist, though not a communist; in fact, he was one of the first to point out human rights abuses in the soviet union. he was also anti colonialist, opposing french occupation of algeria. he was awarded the 1964 nobel prize in literature, but became one of only two laureates in the prize’s history to decline it. he said that “a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution.” it’s the birthday of english novelist ian mcewan (books by this author) (1948), best known for his internationally best selling novel atonement (2001), about a young girl who starts a disastrous rumor. it was later made into a hit film starring keira knightley. mcewan tends to write about unsavory characters and situations, like incest and murder. he likes to choose unlikely and provocative ways to tell a story. his novel nutshell (2016) is essentially a retelling of shakespeare’s play hamlet, but told from the point of view of a fetus in his mother’s womb. his penchant for dark material has earned him the nickname “ian macabre” in the british press. mcewan’s novels include the comfort of strangers (1981), amsterdam (1998), and on chesil beach (2007). he’s fond of intense research for his books, like shadowing a neurosurgeon for two years for the novel saturday (2003) and immersing himself in physics for solar (2010). when asked how his writing process has changed with the onset of technology, mcewan answered: “in the seventies i used to work in the bedroom of my flat at a little table. i worked in longhand with a fountain pen. i’d type out a draft, mark up the typescript, type it out again. once i paid a professional to type a final draft, but i felt i was missing things i would have changed if i had done it myself. in the mid eighties i was a grateful convert to computers. word processing is more intimate, more like thinking itself. in retrospect, the typewriter seems a gross mechanical obstruction. i like the provisional nature of unprinted material held in the computer’s memory   like an unspoken thought. i like the way sentences or passages can be endlessly reworked, and the way this faithful machine remembers all your little jottings and messages to yourself. until, of course, it sulks and crashes.” about writing, he says, “not being boring is quite a challenge.” it’s the birthday of edward snowden, born in elizabeth city, north carolina (1983). his family moved to maryland when he was a boy, and his mother went to work for the federal court in baltimore. snowden dropped out of high school, but later earned his ged, and studied computers at a community college. he never earned his college degree, but he seemed to have a natural aptitude for technology. he also enlisted in the army reserves but left after four months; depending on whom you ask, he either broke both his legs in a training accident or washed out of the program when he developed shin splints. he got a job with the center for advanced study of language at the university of maryland. the center had ties to the national security agency. from there, snowden went to work for the cia in 2006; he quit when people began to suspect him of breaking into classified files. he took a series of jobs with nsa subcontractors, and while he was working for consulting firm booz allen hamilton, he began secretly copying classified documents. he believed that the nsa was gathering too much information on american citizens, and he intended to blow the whistle. in may 2013, he told his supervisor that he needed a medical leave, and then took off for hong kong. soon after, the guardian and the washington post released some of his secret documents. snowden has lived overseas ever since and is currently living in russia on a three year residence permit that expires this august; his request for clemency from the u.s. government was denied, and despite a plea from various human rights groups, president obama declined to pardon him before he left office. the house intelligence committee called snowden a “disgruntled employee” and a “serial exaggerator,” and said he “caused tremendous damage to national security.” for his part, snowden said: “i love my country. i love my family. i don’t know where we’re going from here. i don’t know what tomorrow looks like. but i’m glad for the decisions i’ve made.” “writers end up writing stories or rather, stories’ shadows and they’re grateful if they can, but it is not enough. nothing the writer can do is ever enough”  joy williams “i think writing is, by definition, an optimistic act.”  michael cunningham “writing is a combination of intangible creative fantasy and appallingly hard work.”  anthony powell “writing is my dharma.”  raja rao “writing is…that oddest of anomalies: an intimate letter to a stranger.”  pico iyer “the less conscious one is of being ‘a writer,’ the better the writing.”  pico iyer “writing is like getting married. one should never commit oneself until one is amazed at one’s luck.”  iris murdoch “i think all writing is a disease. you can’t stop it.”  william carlos williams “writing is very hard work and knowing what you’re doing the whole time.”  shelby foote “writing is a failure. writing is not only useless, it’s spoiled paper.”  padget powell “writing is 90 percent procrastination: reading magazines, eating cereal out of the box, watching infomercials.”  paul rudnick “a writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.”  thomas mann “let’s face it, writing is hell.”  william styron “writing is like driving at night in the fog. you can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.”  e.l. doctorow “writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.”  e.l. doctorow “in certain ways writing is a form of prayer.”  denise levertov “good writing is always about things that are important to you, things that are scary to you, things that eat you up.”  john edgar wideman “all good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.”  f. scott fitzgerald “writing is a performance, like singing an aria or dancing a jig”  stephen greenblatt “i want to live other lives. i’ve never quite believed that one chance is all i get. writing is my way of making other chances.”  anne tyler « » read highlighted interviews of poets heard on the show. dorianne laux’s fifth collection, the book of men, was awarded the paterson prize. her fourth book of poems, facts about the moon, won the oregon book award and was short listed for the lenore marshall poetry prize. laux is also the author of awake; what we carry, a finalist for the national book critics circle award; smoke; as well as a fine small press edition, the book of women. read our interview

certainly the oldest reason for communication was, well, to communicate. but the second oldest reason for communicating was undoubtedly to tell that first communicator they were wrong (possibly connected to the birth of the first critic). and in that honored tradition of contradicting someone else, i’m introducing another form of debate hereabouts: someone is wrong on the internet. why? because i’m an egotistical human that has to be right? because i love tilting against windmills? because i’m a fan of the xkcd comic where i am, umm, borrowing this line from? sure, throw them all my way. but more than that, i’m going to argue for things that are actually pretty good, but people seem to be missing the boat on (critics, the internet water cooler zeitgeist, what have you). as a creator who is trying to get my foot in the door (and boy, does that door not like to open), this is another way for me to throw some encouragement to people out there who are creating. we need all the cheerleading we can get. so here we go with “someone is wrong on the internet: guardians of the galaxy vol. 2 is as good as the first gotg and wonder woman.” somehow, via the rotten tomatoes aggregator, guardians 2 is at 81% (71% for the so called top critics), versus 91% for the other two. when you dig in more between the first and the second guardians movies, reviewers are finding the second almost as fun but not as “fresh” as the first. this is boggling to me. the second movie takes what worked in the first movie and does it even better, fixing some flaws along the way. the first movie is great fun, but it has the blandest of bland villains that hardly gets any setup or explanation: me angry alien terrorist! me no like peace treaties! smash! whereas the villains of guardians 2 are given such crazy things as depth, setup, and motivation, not to mention a real connection to the guardians and their own issues. the first movie also had problems with what i like to call “planet subtitle hopscotch” (not unlike the otherwise great rogue one from this winter). throw all the digs you want against george lucas, but even with the prequels, the guy knew how to integrate a new location into the storyline seamlessly (and for it to stand out visually from the rest). there’s a bit of this problem earlier on in guardians 2, but then it gets its act together. and then there’s the soundtrack. i love the opening of the first movie, with peter quill dancing through a ruined city (and kicking space rats) to the head bopping rhythm of “come get your love.” but the second movie easily tops that with its opening “mr. blue sky” and baby groot dancing sequence. from there, the rest of the songs work better as a unit, somehow even serving as a fun commentary or contrast to the action at the time. that is not an easy thing to do, but the movie does it. can you picture a better song than “my sweet lord” to introduce a god planet and its potential issues? or a song better than “father and son” for the movie’s final scenes? the fairest criticism i can see of guardians 2 is that it hits on its themes of family a little strenuously, which i can understand to a point, as there are some moments that are a little in your face with it. but even then, there are issues with this critique. christopher orr over at the atlantic claimed the movie “pedantically” explains how the song “brandy” ties in with the movie’s themes, but wow, is that ever a misread. one, not everyone may be aware of the lyrics to “brandy” (i wasn’t really before hearing it in this movie), and two, ego is using the lyrics to explain and justify his actions. he co opts the song (anyone notice the song’s title is “brandy,” not “the sailor?”) for his own purposes! rather than being detrimental, it’s an excellent scene, and reveals quite a bit about ego’s character much less pedantically than his name does! guardians 2 is every bit as good as its predecessor, if not better (hold me to the first part, of you don’t agree with the latter). both have reasons they’re just shy of perfect, but they’re still quite good and a needed breath of fresh air in the crowded comic book movie/action movie sphere. as for wonder woman, it’s high praise to say guardians 2 is its equal. i’ve never really had a big connection to the character, with her sometimes feeling like a female superman: really strong but kind of blandly good, etc. that’s partially my lack of interaction with her comics, but also a shortcoming of the classic tv show and her presentation on the dc cartoons i’ve seen. we’ve at least had some good superman movies to give depth to clark kent. wonder woman certainly takes care of that issue gal godot is sublime as diana. i loved her enthusiasm, i loved her “i’m going to do what i’m told not to” approach to just about everything, and i loved how genuinely, warmly kind she was. at one point in the film she smiles and asks a character what they would do without his singing (if he left), and i have to say that was one of the most beautiful, caring, and honest smiles i have ever seen. it is good for the soul to see someone smile like that and mean it that much. people talk about how hard it supposedly is to write and act good people (which i quibble with), but i would say godot’s diana is up there with chris evans’s steve rogers, if not beyond, and that’s saying something. i’d also say the first 80 90% of the movie works extremely well (though i could do without the preface and epilogue we know it relates to the rest of the dc universe without these). sure, some things randomly happen, with diana and steve trevor somehow sailing from what seems to be the eastern mediterranean to london overnight, etc., but they’re small problems. the real issue is with the generic, climactic confrontation at the end, which somehow just doesn’t work. it should, with how interesting the rest of the action in the movie is (particularly the wwi trench sequence), but the movie doesn’t know if it wants another big fight or to explore the themes and ideas it’s set up so well. i think they had the right casting choice for the big bad if they had focused on the latter and wrote the big bad’s actions and dialogue accordingly, but they didn’t. what wonder woman needed was something similar to the ending of the dark knight. there’s good action in that movie’s ending, but what’s really at stake is batman’s view of mankind versus the joker’s, with both sides memorably and clearly delineated. something similar could have been done with wonder woman, as the first 3/4 of the movie puts the right ideas on board to accomplish this, but then the movie rather haphazardly follows through on them, squashing them in around a forgettable cg fest with ponderous dialogue. so where does that leave us? on the one hand, we’re seeing yet again how guardians 2 is at least on par with a movie that’s been reviewed well ahead of it. i could also argue that guardians 2 doesn’t have any major issues like wonder woman’s finale, which makes it objectively better as a movie, but on the other hand, i am willing to concede that wonder woman may be a more important movie, given how reluctant marvel and other studios have been to focus solely on a female character/superhero. it’s asinine that this is still an issue somehow, but let’s face it, it is. we had men up in arms at a women’s only screening of wonder woman, like they couldn’t just go to some other showtime or there haven’t been men’s only clubs and governments for centuries. it’s not for the first time, certainly, but wonder woman reminds us that female characters and female superheroes can and should carry their own weight, and for that, i’m willing for it to defeat the contention of my first someone is wrong on the internet. somehow, it only seems right. © 2025 the big frickin' swede   all rights reserved designed with customizr pro

pay now and get access for a year. i don't remember the moment when i stumbled onto the butterfly images, but i do think they look best when they are bright orange. we did go with solid bars around the edges on the final newspaper product, but we decided not to draw little "bodies" between the squares. my first try at this puzzle had elusive as a theme entry, since "elusive butterfly" was a pretty big hit by bob lind in 1966. the melody and lyrics were very familiar to me when i listened to it, but it drew a blank for will and joel so they turned it down. i think i remember throwing a few more possibilities their way without success, but pete collins thought i should try origami butterfly since it googles well. if you want the full experience there is a nice video online showing you how to make one in no time flat. pete collins also helped with the fill on this effort   i was hoping to be part of his 100th nyt puzzle publication but he turned down co constructorship. he'll have to sit on 99 for a short while longer and make do with a big thank you pete! speaking of flying things, i am staying near princeville on the hawaiian island of kaua'i this week and here is a picture of me with two nene. i talked to a local hawaiian woman who confirmed that these are them. she told me they were rare thirty years ago but not any more since they are protected. i have read that nenes are nonos in crosswords because they are so scarce but i can tell that they are not that rare! butterflies in today's grid! sort of. if you turn your head 45 degrees. and squint. and stretch your imagination. sure, why not? bruce has done a lot of grid art over the years, with a kite and two bolts of electricty the highlight for me. just when you think grid art ideas have run dry … i'm curious what will come next. today's puzzle is a "word that can precede x" puzzle, a theme type that's gone by the wayside. but i do like the tie in to the four butterflies in the grid, making madame butterfly, social butterfly, and monarch butterfly a little more interesting. origami butterfly didn't work for me, though. having made a ton of origami, and even spending time at origami museums in japan, the butterfly isn't at the top of the list of origami animals. i understand that the gods of crossword symmetry must be honored, but it would have been better to hide this entry in the center of the puzzle somewhere, rather than placing it at the featured 1 across position. great fill, especially tough with big, wide open corners. working with so many seven letter answers makes it tough to convert those slots into strong entries. nanobot, rub it in, hotline, i have it, go viral, pro bono = bruce did very well. okay, on dates isn't great. endways is a head scratcher, but it does appear to be legit. if those are the prices to pay to get so much good bonus fill, i'm happy to pony up. good work on the short fill, too. i hitched on mucky, but that also has dictionary support. with just a bit of minor cdt and uhs (and i generally think those are fine), it felt like a smooth, well polished solve. overall, i liked the creativity of the grid art, and i thought bruce executed well on his grid. the theme didn't move me though; not different enough from the old "word that can precede" theme type. and those butterflies didn't look enough like butterflies to me   i wish the print version could have been artsified so those black squares actually looked like butterflies. damn the crossword gods and their perfect little boxes! *ducking from the impending bolts of electricity* answer summary:2 unique to this puzzle, 1 unique to modern era but used previously. there are 15 rows and 15 columns, with 0 rebus squares, and 10 cheater squares (marked with "+" in the colorized grid below.) the grid uses 22 of 26 letters, missing jqxz. it has normal rotational symmetry. average word length: 5.05, scrabble score: 317, scrabble average: 1.70. puzzle has 4 fill in the blank clues and 1 cross reference clue. duplicate clues: presidential nickname this puzzle has 2 unique answer words. it has 0 words that debuted in this puzzle and were later reused: these words are unique to the modern era but have appeared in pre shortz puzzles: these 30 answer words are not legal scrabble™ entries, which sometimes means they are interesting: various thumbnail views are shown: crosswords that share the most words with this one (excluding sundays): unusual or long words that appear elsewhere: other puzzles with the same block pattern as this one: other crosswords with exactly 38 blocks, 74 words, 89 open squares, and an average word length of 5.05: the next two sections attempt to show how fresh the grid entries are. in this view, unusual answers are colored depending on how often they have appeared in other puzzles. unique answers are in red, red overwrites orange which overwrites yellow, etc. cheater squares are indicated with a + sign. freshness factor is a calculation that compares the number of times words in this puzzle have appeared in other modern era puzzles. click here for an explanation. the chart below shows how many times each word has been used across all nyt puzzles, old and modern including variety. found bugs or have suggestions?

this post was originally published on huffington post on june 20th, 2017 by david goodman. there is a quote that i carry in my wallet. it is part of a speech delivered by rabbi joachim prinz at the 1963 march on washington for jobs and freedom: when i was the rabbi of the jewish community in berlin under the hitler regime, i learned many things. the most important thing that i learned under those most tragic circumstances was that bigotry and hatred are not the most urgent problem. the most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence. rabbi prinz’s words continue to strike a chord with me. coming from a man who fled germany to escape the nazi regime, and later joined dr. king in the fight for civil rights, they are a powerful testament to the moral decency that should exist within all of us. rabbi joachim prinz delivering a speech at the august 1963 march on washington for jobs and freedom. from prinz: the courage to speak today marks the 53rd anniversary of my brother’s death. andrew goodman was part of a team of one thousand young volunteers during freedom summer of 1964 who answered our country’s moral cry for justice. with permission from my parents, he travelled to mississippi to register black americans to vote because he believed it was the right thing to do. on june 21, 1964 his first day in mississippi andrew was brutally murdered by the ku klux klan along with his fellow civil rights workers james chaney and michael schwerner because he refused to stay silent. even 53 years later, the goodman, chaney, and schwerner story is a painful reminder of how far we still have to go. left to right: andrew goodman, james chaney, and michael schwerner the declaration of independence says that all men are created equal. we repeat it over and over again but somehow continue to miss the mark in every day practice. ricky john best and taliesin myrddin namkai meche were recently murdered, and micah david cole fletcher was seriously wounded in portland, or because like andy, james, and michael, they refused to sit on the sidelines when faced with prejudice and intimidation. they spoke up when they saw another man harass two young women on a train because of their religion. the recent election has led to an increase in hateful and racist speech, antisemitism, and grave desecration. how can a country hailed as the “leader of the free world” allow its citizens to violate its core principles of freedom, equality, and justice for all? how many good samaritans need to lose their lives before we say enough? it is up to us to make it clear that hatred, bigotry, racism, and xenophobia have no place in our country, they are un american. our country has seen enough tragedy. we cannot allow extremism to flourish in the united states of america. we must all become whistleblowers who champion those targeted by hatred and oppression regardless of the source. when we do not speak up and take action to protect our rights as americans, we create the next opportunity for injustice. it is up to us to protect our democracy so that the united states can deliver on its promise of tolerance and inclusivity. andrew goodman, james chaney, michael schwerner, ricky john best, taliesin myrddin namkai meche, micah david cole fletcher, and many others have answered rabbi prinz’s call. when faced with injustice, they refused to be silenced no matter the price. we stand on their shoulders as the next generation of moral citizens. we must follow in their footsteps and continue to speak up and close the gap between our ideals and everyday practices. we cannot sit on the sidelines and allow the very soul of our democracy to perish. vote everywhere ambassadors joined thousands of others at the 2017 moral march in raleigh, north carolina. defending democracy is at the core of the andrew goodman foundation’s vote everywhere program. our ambassadors are fueled by the same hope that inspired andrew goodman, james chaney, and michael schwerner to volunteer for freedom summer of 1964. they are young people who want to be on the right side of history and help our country uphold its founding principles. our program is expanding strategically to engage hbcus (historically black colleges and universities) and hsis (hispanic serving institutions) as well as states with low voter turnout and high levels of voter suppression. by doing so we hope to engage students who might otherwise not show up at the polls because we believe everyone should have the same access to the ballot. we want to remind everyone that as oppression and bigotry continue to try to silence us, we will remain engaged in the process, advocate for others, and use our votes as our voice. david goodman is the brother of andrew goodman and the president of the andrew goodman foundation and its board of trustees. sustain positive change unleash the inner hero join our campus network non profit website design by nmc © 2025 andrew goodman foundation. all rights reserved. non profit website design by nmc © 2025 andrew goodman foundation. all rights reserved. the andrew goodman foundation uses cookies to offer you the best experience online. by continuing to use our website, you agree to the use of cookies. if you would like to know more about cookies and how to manage them please view our privacy policy and our terms and conditions.

after 60 years of covering up the disappearance of hundreds of yemeni babies in the early years of the state, the time has come for justice and accountability. there were moments during wednesday night’s rally to commemorate the yemenite children affair in which i wondered how the tiles beneath us, in jerusalem’s mashbir square, failed to crack under the unbearable weight of pain and grief. veteran jerusalemites will likely remember this plaza as “talita komi,” one of the city’s most vibrant areas. on fridays people would stand here and deliver speeches to passersby, on saturday evenings it was where young men and women would come to meet each other, long before the age of cellphones. on wednesday evening, the plaza suddenly reverted back to its golden age. over 2,000 men and women, young people with babies in their arms, elderly who used wheelchairs and walkers to get around, parents and children, filled the square to the brim   all of them demanding recognition, justice, and redress for the yemenite children who were disappeared by the state in israel’s nascent years. police didn’t disperse the dozens of demonstrators who blocked king george street, one of downtown jerusalem’s main thoroughfares. on stage, speaker after speaker delivered their testimony about the disappearance of brothers or daughters during the early years of the state, after they arrived in israel. these were testimonies that had never been delivered before a court. yet with the trembling power of their words they defiantly turned the square into a courtroom where they could finally tell stories that had been silenced, ridiculed, and denied for so many years. beyond it all, however, people simply spoke to one another. they held up photos of their disappeared loved ones, they listened, they cried. usually we come to protests with a desire to make our voices heard. to call out and scream. on wednesday that scream was heard in our very presence, and the most active thing we could do was listen to the testimonies. i think that for many of us who protest regularly, it was an incredible lesson in humility. the ability to listen to the stories that our minds refuse to process, detailed in the most beautiful hebrew i have ever heard at a demonstration. testimonies that don’t miss a beat, and even after 60 years still feel so alive and heartrending. there were testimonies of yemeni women who understood what was happening around them and would hide their newly born babies under the bed every time a social worker or nurse came in. there was the testimony of a mother who would wrap herself in blankets, or any piece of cloth she could find, to hide the fact that she was pregnant. or the testimony of a father who refused to believe that his daughter had died, who headed to the hospital, locked the doctor and the nurse in a room and warned them that he wouldn’t leave without his daughter. his daughter was quickly returned to him after she magically “came back to life.” now his daughter stands before me, reciting this chilling story. there were testimonies that described how families were ordered to forgo all their jewelry and holy books before boarding the plan to the holy land, so that they don’t “weigh down the plane and cause a crash.” these families were promised that their belongings would arrive on a different plane, yet they never saw them again. as i listened to these stories, deep in my heart i begged for forgiveness from rabbi uzi meshulam   who paid a heavy price 20 years ago for exposing the sheer scope of the kidnappings   for buying into the lies the establishment told about him. for giving in to the evil demonizations, and for the many years that passed before i began to understand the justness of his struggle. i listened to these stories when, out of the corner of my eye, i spotted baruch marzel and benzi gopstein   two extremist right wing leaders who stop at nothing to try and spread their poisonous ideas. then i remembered the solidarity shown by mks jamal zahalka and yousef jabareen (joint list), representatives of a community that knows full well what this colonial and racist mentality can do to those whom it marks as the the “inferior other.” i wondered on which side the marzels and the gopsteins and jabareen and zahalka were 60 years ago, in the division between the kidnappers and the liars on one hand, and their victims on the other. at the end of the evening, as i wandered away from the protest, i heard the jewish sh’ma prayer blaring out of the speakers. “sh’ma israel.” hear, o israel. this command, to hear, was the most fitting ending to the evening because hearing is the most basic step before taking action. i am grateful for all those who came to tell their stories, and am conscious of the moral responsibility we have to pass on this knowledge and work to bring about justice. recognition, justice, redress. like the truth and reconciliation commission in south africa, or anywhere else where the victims fight to undo the injustice done to them, recognizing the injustice of the yemenite children’s affair and revealing the truth comes before reconciliation and redress. after so many years of doubt and hopelessness, it is time that the state take responsibility for the injustice and pain it caused these people. sh’ma yisrael. after 60 years, the time has come. a version of this post was originally published in hebrew on local call. orly noy is an editor at local call, a political activist, and a translator of farsi poetry and prose. she is the chair of b’tselem’s executive board and an activist with the balad political party. her writing deals with the lines that intersect and define her identity as mizrahi, a female leftist, a woman, a temporary migrant

onslaught on gaza, inflicting mass devastation and death upon besieged palestinians, as well as the atrocious attack and kidnappings by hamas in israel on october 7. our hearts are with all the people and communities facing this violence. our team has been devastated by the horrific events of this latest war. the world is reeling from israel’s unprecedented onslaught on gaza, inflicting mass

violence. we are in an extraordinarily dangerous era in israel palestine. the bloodshed has reached extreme levels of brutality and threatens to engulf the entire region. emboldened settlers in the west bank, backed by the army, are seizing the opportunity to intensify their attacks on palestinians. the most far right government in israel’s history is ramping up its policing of dissent, using the cover of war to silence palestinian citizens and left wing jews who object to its policies. this escalation has a very clear context, one that +972 has spent the past 14 years covering: israeli society’s growing racism and militarism, entrenched occupation and apartheid, and a normalized siege on gaza. we are well positioned to cover this perilous moment   but we need your help to do it. this terrible period will challenge the humanity of all of those working for a better future in this land. palestinians and israelis are already organizing and strategizing to put up the fight of their lives. can we count on your support ? +972 magazine is a leading media voice of this movement, a desperately needed platform where palestinian and israeli journalists, activists, and thinkers can report on and analyze what is happening, guided by humanism, equality, and justice. join us.

your custom text here these are not today's standings, but rather an image that came up when i googled "standings in a newspaper." i'm headed to the cubs padres game this afternoon, so today's post will be a bit shorter. but, tomorrow i'll be back on the 1981 strike beat, so you can look forward to that. as we near the halfway point in the season, i have three standings observations. after beating the cubs on may 1, the phillies sat at a very respectable 12 12. since then? how about 10 35. over the first 24 games, the phillies averaged 4.83 runs and gave up 4.25. over the past 45, they have scored 3.29 runs and given up 5.76. yikes. everyone knew the dodgers were going to be great, but the rockies and diamondbacks haven't showed any signs of slowing down. in june, colorado is 14 4, arizona is 11 5, and la is 13 5. how have they done against each other? mike trout hurt his thumb on sunday, may 28. the angels record was 26 27, while getting outscored by 16. since the injury, they somehow have gone 11 10 while outscoring their opponents by 18. so with trout, they are a 79 win team and without him, they are an 85 win team. he's a  6 war player! of course, this is ridiculous because mike trout is amazing. he's still third in baseball in war at 3.4, trailing only aaron judge (4.1) and paul goldschmidt (3.7). and he could be back in time for the all star game, which he is in line to start. baseball is here! and more importantly, that means the over/under game is back. it seems as though everyone is an expert this time of year. somehow we convince ourselves that we are better at predicting baseball outcomes than everyone else. well, afitb is putting that to the test for the third year in a row. think you know more about baseball than us? you probably do. but go ahead and prove it anyway. baseball is simply the best. can the playoffs get even better? yes, if you play this game with us. not much from a team perspective ranking the 10 playoff teams' pitching output based on war ranking the 10 playoff teams' positional output based on war barry's last game

subscribe & save less than $3 per week the gop's handel defeats ossoff in georgia's special house election, authorities release police dashcam video of the castile shooting, and more republican karen handel won georgia's special house election on tuesday, defeating democrat jon ossoff in the most expensive house race in history. ossoff, a political newcomer, received $25 million in contributions from progressives across the u.s. who are angry at president trump. he led a large field in the first round, but handel, a former georgia secretary of state and fulton county official, surged after the other conservatives were pushed out of the race. her victory let the gop hold onto the seat vacated by health and human services secretary tom price in an affluent, suburban atlanta district republicans have held for nearly 40 years. polls had indicated an extremely close race, but handel won by an unexpectedly comfortable 4 percent margin. democrats got better news from a south carolina special election, where republican ralph norman was heavily favored but beat democrat archie parnell by roughly three percentage points with low turnout, suggesting gop vulnerability even in very conservative districts. the new york times the associated press patrol car dashcam video released tuesday showed a minnesota police officer, jeronimo yanez, firing seven shots into the car of philando castile seconds after castile said during a 2016 traffic stop, "sir, i have to tell you that i do have a firearm on me." yanez at first kept his voice steady, telling castile not to reach for the gun or pull it out. castile replied, "i'm not pulling it out," and yanez yelled, "don't pull it out!" castile again assured him, "i'm not," and his girlfriend said the same, but seven seconds after castile mentioned the gun, which he was lawfully carrying, yanez opened fire at close range. castile's girlfriend, diamond reynolds, then began livestreaming the aftermath on facebook. the video went viral, fueling criticism of police violence against african americans. yanez was acquitted of manslaughter last week, setting off protests in the st. paul area. escape your echo chamber. get the facts behind the news, plus analysis from multiple perspectives. from our morning news briefing to a weekly good news newsletter, get the best of the week delivered directly to your inbox. from our morning news briefing to a weekly good news newsletter, get the best of the week delivered directly to your inbox. the washington post belgian soldiers shot and killed a suspected terrorist bomber after he allegedly set off a small but fiery explosion in brussels central station on tuesday. medics were unable to check on the man or treat him for several hours after the shooting, due to the fear he could have been carrying explosives. the suspect's identity was not immediately released. the incident prompted police to evacuate the station and the area immediately around it in historic downtown brussels, which had been bustling with tourists and locals. nicolas van herrewegen, a station employee, said he saw a man who appeared to yell "allahu akbar" in arabic, then detonate something on a luggage cart. people standing within 10 feet of the explosion were not hurt. the associated press reuters senate republicans said tuesday that they would release the draft of their health care bill on thursday. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell (r ky.) said he planned to hold a vote on the proposal next week before senators leave for the week long july 4 recess, as soon as the congressional budget office provides its assessment of the proposal's likely impact. details so far are scant, as a working group of 13 republican men has been hammering out the plan in secret, angering democrats and even some republicans. "i think we should have debated it in open, in committee hearings, have both sides bring in witnesses," said sen. rand paul (r ky.). even sen. mike lee (r utah), who is on mcconnell's working group, said he hadn't seen the text yet, because it was being written by staffers and gop leadership. cbs news uber co founder travis kalanick resigned as ceo of the ride hailing service on tuesday under pressure from shareholders after a tumultuous year. earlier in the day, five major uber investors demanded that kalanick step down immediately. the group included the venture capital firm benchmark, which has one of its partners, bill gurley, on the uber board. in a letter titled "moving uber forward," the investors told kalanick, 40, that the company needed new leadership. the company has shaken up its leadership after months of turmoil over allegations of an unhealthy corporate culture that permitted sexual harassment and misconduct. kalanick said he loved uber the company but "accepted the investors request to step aside so that uber can go back to building rather than be distracted with another fight." he will remain as a board member. the new york times nbc news a u.s. f 15 fighter jet shot down an armed, iranian made drone operated by pro syrian government forces in southern syria, american officials said tuesday. the incident occurred late monday night as the drone approached u.s. led coalition forces in the latest sign of rising tensions and u.s. involvement in the syrian civil war and the broader fight against the islamic state. the coalition forces were establishing a combat outpost where they are training and advising allies fighting isis. the u.s. shot down a syrian military fighter jet on sunday, and another drone earlier this month. russia, a key ally of syrian president bashar al assad's regime, has accused the u.s. of targeting syrian aircraft that also are fighting isis, and russian deputy foreign minister sergei ryabkov accused the u.s. of "complicity with terrorism." abc news bbc news a federal judge on tuesday approved a settlement in the wrongful death lawsuit michael brown's parents filed over the unarmed black 18 year old's fatal shooting by a white police officer in 2014. u.s. district judge e. richard webber sealed the terms, including how much the city of ferguson, missouri, will pay parents michael brown, sr., and lesley mcspadden. the killing touched off weeks of unrest in the st. louis suburb, and escalated the national debate over police use of force against african americans. usa today saudi arabia's king salman on wednesday named his son, mohammed bin salman, as crown prince, replacing prince mohammed bin nayef as first in line to the throne. the decree makes prince mohammed bin salman, 31, deputy prime minister, in addition to his position as defense minister. prince mohammed bin nayef, 57, will also lose his job as head of domestic security. the move clears the way for the new crown prince, who is far younger than the typical ruler in the oil rich kingdom, to push forward with reforms to reduce oil dependence and harden the country's foreign policy in the middle east, where he has led the saudi war effort against iran backed rebels in yemen as well as the effort to diplomatically isolate qatar. bbc news bloomberg the european court of human rights ruled tuesday that russia's laws against promoting homosexuality   the so called gay propaganda laws   are illegal because they discriminate against gay people and violate freedom of expression. russia officially decriminalized homosexuality after the soviet union fell. president vladimir putin and his allies enacted the gay "propaganda" prohibition in 2013 as part of a push to depict putin's government as a promoter of traditional christian values. the court ordered russia to pay three gay activists $48,000 in damages, saying the clear purpose of the laws was "discriminatory and, over all, served no legitimate public interest." the new york times actor daniel day lewis is retiring from acting, his spokesperson announced tuesday. day lewis has won three oscars, for performances in lincoln, there will be blood, and my left foot. his final film, paul thomas anderson's phantom thread, will be released on dec. 25, 2017. he famously practices "method acting," remaining in character even when he's off the set of a film. he "once learned czech to play a philandering doctor in the unbearable lightness of being, listened to eminem records to channel rage in gangs of new york, and confined himself to a wheelchair for my left foot

on june 21, for national indigenous peoples day, we recognize and celebrate the history, heritage, resilience and diversity of first nations, inuit and métis across canada. for generations, many indigenous groups and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on june 21 or around that time of year because of the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year. national aboriginal day, now national indigenous peoples day, was announced in 1996 by then governor general of canada, roméo leblanc, through the proclamation declaring june 21 of each year as national aboriginal day. this was the result of consultations and statements of support for such a day made by various indigenous groups: on june 21, 2017, the prime minister issued a statement announcing the intention to rename this day national indigenous peoples day. national indigenous peoples day is part of the celebrate canada program, which also includes saint jean baptiste day on june 24, canadian multiculturalism day on june 27 and canada day on july 1. the government of canada provides funding opportunities for community celebratory events, as well as for commemorations on the national day for truth and reconciliation. every year, activities are organized across the country on june 21 to showcase the richness and diversity of first nations, inuit and métis cultural expressions and stories. revisit this page closer to june to find activities that will take place in your community in 2025. if not, tell us why: you will not receive a reply. don't include personal information (telephone, email, sin, financial, medical, or work details). maximum 300 characters thank you for your feedback

2017 total solar eclipse in the u.s. a view of the united states during the total solar eclipse of august 21, 2017, showing the umbra (black oval), penumbra (concentric shaded ovals), and path of totality (red) through or very near several major cities. a view of the united states during the total solar eclipse of august 21, 2017, showing the umbra (black oval), penumbra (concentric shaded ovals), and path of totality (red) through or very near several major cities. on monday, august 21, 2017, the moon will pass in front of the sun, casting its shadow across all of north america. this will be the first total solar eclipse visible in the contiguous united states in 38 years.the moon's shadow can be divided into areas called the umbra and the penumbra. within the penumbra, the sun is only partially blocked, and observers experience a partial eclipse. the much smaller umbra lies at the very center of the shadow cone, and anyone there sees the moon entirely cover the sun in a total solar eclipse.in the animation, the umbra is the small black oval. the red streak behind this oval is the path of totality. anyone within this path will see a total eclipse when the umbra passes over them. the much larger shaded bullseye pattern represents the penumbra. steps in the shading denote different percentages of sun coverage (eclipse magnitude), at levels of 90%, 75%, 50% and 25%. the yellow and orange contours map the path of the penumbra. the outermost yellow contour is the edge of the penumbra path. outside this limit, no part of the sun is covered by the moon.the numbers in the lower left corner give the latitude and longitude of the center of the umbra as it moves eastward, along with the altitude of the sun above the horizon at that point. also shown is the duration of totality: for anyone standing at the center point, this is how long the total solar eclipse will last. note that the duration varies from just 2 minutes on the west coast to 2 minutes 40 seconds east of the mississippi river. a view of the united states during the total solar eclipse of august 21, 2017, showing the umbra (black oval), penumbra (concentric shaded ovals), and path of totality (red). this version omits the city and state names and the statistics display. a view of the united states during the total solar eclipse of august 21, 2017, showing the umbra (black oval), penumbra (concentric shaded ovals), and path of totality (red). this version omits the city and state names and the statistics display. a view of the united states during the total solar eclipse of august 21, 2017, showing the umbra (black oval), penumbra (concentric shaded ovals), and path of totality (red). this version includes images of the sun showing its appearance in a number of locations, each oriented to the local horizon. a view of the united states during the total solar eclipse of august 21, 2017, showing the umbra (black oval), penumbra (concentric shaded ovals), and path of totality (red). this version includes images of the sun showing its appearance in a number of locations, each oriented to the local horizon. please give credit for this item to: nasa/goddard space flight center scientific visualization studio this page was originally published on wednesday, september 9, 2015. this page was last updated on sunday, february 2, 2025 at 12:07 am est. credit: the blue marble data is courtesy of reto stockli (nasa/gsfc). this dataset can be found at: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/newsroom/bluemarble/ planetary ephemerides this dataset can be found at: http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?ephemerides#planets note: while we identify the data sets used on this page, we do not store any further details, nor the data sets themselves on our site.
by scott owens you wake wanting the dream you left behind in sleep, water washing through everything, clearing away sediment of years, uncovering the lost and forgotten. you hear the sun breaking on cold grass, on eaves, on stone steps outside. you see light igniting sparks of dust in the air. you feel for the first time in years the world electrified with morning. you know something has changed in the night, something you thought gone from the world has come back: shooting stars in the pasture, sleeping beneath a field of daisies, wisteria climbing over fences, houses, trees. this is a place that smells like childhood and old age. it is a limb you swung from, a field you go back to. it is a part of whatever you do. “the arrival of the past” by scott owens from down to sleep. © main street rag publishing company, 2016. reprinted with permission. (buy now) it is the birthday of french existentialist philosopher and writer jean paul sartre (books by this author), born in paris (1905). among his most well known works: no exit, nausea, and the roads to freedom trilogy. unlike his existentialist colleague albert camus   who achieved something akin to movie star status in their homeland of france with his traditionally handsome looks   sartre stood just five feet tall, had a lazy eye, and dressed in oversized clothes. still, sartre caught the attention of a young woman by the name of simone de beauvoir as the two studied for the national competitive exam for a career as a schoolteacher. sartre scored first in the class, and beauvoir a close second. the two began a lifelong intellectual and romantic courtship. beauvoir would herself become a prominent philosopher and feminist scholar. shortly after their meeting, sartre was drafted into the french army to serve as meteorologist. he was captured by the germans and kept as a prisoner of war for nearly a year.
