” Eu não diria que podemos alcançar uma utopia em que tudo seja justo e lindo. A igualdade é uma coisa pela qual lutamos: paridade, justiça, uma sensação de jogo limpo. Não quer dizer que vamos chegar à igualdade perfeita, mas é um objetivo válido e um ideal, uma ferramenta que pode governar e guiar nosso comportamento, nossa atitude. “

Vaccine protection against COVID-19 short-lived, booster shots important, new study says < Yale School of Public Health

The risk of breakthrough infections, in which a person becomes infected despite being vaccinated, depends on the vaccine type. According to the study, current mRNA vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna) offer the greatest duration of protection, nearly three times as long as that of natural infection and the Johnson & Johnson and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines.

“The mRNA vaccines produce the highest levels of antibody response and in our analysis confer more durable protection than other vaccines or exposures,” said Jeffrey Townsend, the Elihu Professor of Biostatistics at Yale School of Public Health and the study’s lead author.

सूर्यास्त / Sunset

Kaushal Kishore

सूर्य कभी डूबता नहीं
वह निरंतर अपना काम करता है,
पृथ्वी मां जब ले लेती है
हमें अपनी गोद में
सूर्य की ओर पीठ करके,
हम कहते हैं सूर्यास्त हो गया…

🌆🌆🌆🌆🌆🌆

The sun never sets
he continues his work,
when Mother Earth
with her back to the sun
takes us in her arms,
we say the sun has set…

Japanese Breakfast cancels show at venue hosting Michael Flynn’s tour – The Washington Post

Alternative pop band Japanese Breakfast says it will not perform at Main Street Armory in Rochester, N.Y., after learning that the venue would also be hosting the far-right ReAwaken America Tour next month.

The ReAwaken tour, organized by Tulsa businessman Clay Clark and co-signed by former president Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Gen. Michael Flynn, has boasted speakers for its Rochester stop such as political lobbyist Roger Stone, according to Clark’s Thrivetime Show website.

Japanese Breakfast, an indie band led by Korean American singer Michelle Zauner, was slated to perform at the venue on Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. with rock band Yo La Tengo. But the group pulled the plug this week.

“We have canceled the event because a number of people reached out letting us know they were boycotting the venue because of the Reawaken America tour,” Japanese Breakfast said in a tweet Thursday afternoon. “It’s a picket line we support and are not interested in crossing.”

♫ Back Stabbers ♫ (Redux)

Filosofa's Word

I mentioned in yesterday’s post about Joe Manchin’s betrayal that it had brought to mind a song, and this is that song.  Interestingly, I played this one over two years ago, and when I did, my friend Jerry sent me another version … an episode of Live From Daryl’s House featuring the O’Jays in 2016, some 44 years after the original!  I thought it was fun and they still sound pretty darn good for old dudes, so I’m playing both the original and the one with Daryl Hall on this post!


The O’Jays were formed in 1958 and named after Cleveland DJ Eddie O’Jay.  This song, released in 1972, was their first Top 40 hit!  Gene McFadden and John Whitehead wrote this song along with Leon Huff, who along with Kenny Gamble produced the track and released it on their Philadelphia International label. The song was inspired by problems Whitehead…

Parashat Balak בָּלָק 5782, & Animals Wiser Than Their Owners?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     This week’s Torah portion, Balak (בָּלָק),  is the 40th (40/54 or 52, depending on the year: this year, it’s 54…) reading in the annual cycle, and the 7th parashah in the book of B’Midbar/Numbers.  Sometimes it is doubled up with Parashat Chukat, but this year, 5782, being a leap year, it is read separately, in Numbers 22:2-25:9.

        Everyone remembers this parashah as the talking donkey story, although I’m pretty sure that the Messenger sent to kill Balaam did not look so elegant, but why is it named for the evil king who hired the ass’s owner?  And, more importantly for me, why do we use the words of a mercenary mage as our soothing song when we enter the synagogue (Mah Tovu)?  Interesting how the Sages chose to honor the very villains of the stories, sometimes, to show the lessons…
