Party GirlsCULTURAL MARXISM: Anora (2024) w/ Indica Dominant of DysphoriaJamie is joined by Indica Dominant (@DominantIndica) a.k.a. Olive, adult performer/sex worker and co-host of the Dysphoria podcast, to discuss director Sean Baker’s anti-Cinderella story Anora (2024), which just won the Oscar for Best Picture. Is it possible to combine a screwball comedy, a hooker exploitation film, and a twee Sundance indie into one movie? What does Anora have to say, or not, about sex work, class, and capitalism? And what’s up with Zoomers and ketamine? Spoilers, obviously.

Knihokec#13 Letné čítanie: To naj z leta (v 2.SÉRII!)Leto bolo na čítanie výdatné a rada by som vám dala zopár tipov na knihy, ktoré by vás mohli zaujať:
Olive Kitteridge (Elizabeth Strout)
K majáku (Virginia Woolf)
Deníky Sylvie Plathové (Sylvia Plath)

Streetwise HebrewSafety, Security, and a Bit of Self-ConfidenceBetach or batu’ach - "sure" or "for sure" - are words we hear a lot on the Israeli streets, so we need to know how to use them properly. Guy Sharett does some excavation work so we can see where this root, "bet.tet.chet," comes from.
New words & expressions:
Israel betach be-elohim – People of Israel have faith in God – ישראל בטח באלוהים
Livto’ach be-mishehu – To trust someone – לבטוח במישהו
Batu’ach – Safe, secure – בטוח
