789: The Runaround

2023-01-2201:02:1330

People being dodged, delayed, and evaded—and what they do to put an end to it.
Writer Etgar Keret tries to come up with the stories that capture his late mother, Orna Keret—but it’s hard, he says, because she’s like Maria in West Side Story and she’s also like Thanos from the Avengers. He ends up with a series of very short stories — most just a few paragraphs long — that give glimpses of different sides of her.
People experiencing Christmas in brand new ways, giving the holiday even more meaning.

No democrats she knows voted Biden in the primaries? Great logic there. Yeah I didn’t vote for that mediocre lump in the primaries either but I sure as hell did in the general. Just because my primary pick didn’t win means I’m going to vote for trump? I think the fuck not. Do these people listen to themselves?
