Fabulous! I was poisoned by toxic coral with ciguatera and in a coma for 3 days . The fist eat the toxic coral in warm oceans. Just one of the consequences we all face.

The library needed to provide Kornacki with his big board 😅

According to the Wall Street Journal, the NJ Alliance for Immigrant Justice is taking taxpayer funds earmarked for clean energy. Just because they oppose immigration enforcement, they get funds earmarked for other purposes. WTF! Hopefully, they face copious litigation in the near future.

A mixed bag! Useful but at times just plain wrong! To gain insight into Michael Cook's lack of understanding of the matter of al-Husain Ibn Ali's stand, mentioned in the book and briefly brought up in the discussion too, by calling al-Husain's stand against Yazid Ibn Mu'awiya (at-Taleeq Ibn at-Taleeq) a side show, can be traced back to his equal lack of understanding of the Event of Saqeefah, when Abu Bakr got 'selected' (NOT elected, i.e. a kind of plebiscite - such an idea was unknown at the time), with the help of Banu Aslam, a NON-MADINITE tribe hostile to the Ansaar (natives of Madina, and in Ali's favour , the vast majority of whom NOT PRESENT at Saqeefah but waiting for the Prophet's burial, unlike Abu Bakr and Umar who ran off to Saqqefah!), brought in by Abu Bakr's friend and helper, Umar Ibn al-Khattab, to save the day. Cook writes: "Our sources tell us that Muhammad died on a Monday in the third month of year 11-that would be in the early summer of 632-and was buried the next day*. On that same Tuesday, the Muslims assembled in the mosque and pledged their allegiance to Abū Bakr (ruled 632-34) as caliph. This seemed to make a lot of sense. Abū Bakr was a leading figure among the Muhājirs: a Qurashī and a very early convert, he had been the trusted friend who had accompanied Muḥammad during his Hijra, and most recently he had been appointed by the ailing Muḥammad to lead the prayer in the mosque." *He was buried the SAME DAY - Cook is wrong about this too(!) - in line with Islamic custom. And no! His arguments for Abu bakr make no sense at all! Firstly, the kinds of points he presents in favour of Abu Bakr and his legitimacy for succession to the Prophet apply EVEN MORE to Ali Ibn Abi Talib; something he (Ali) himself mentioned to Abu Bakr. Ali was the first male to accept Islam (the first female being the Prophet's wife, Khadijah). Ibn Sa'd in his voluminous work, at-Tabaqaat al-Kubraa, says that Abu Bakr was the fifth male [or later still] to accept Islam!). Also, Ali was not just a leading 'muhaajir', but a member of the Ahlul Bayt, in whose praise we have the Quranic verses: Aayat-ul-Mubaahala, Aayat-ut-Tatheer, Aayat-ul-Ghadeer(!); apart from Hadeeth al-Manzilah, Hadeeth-ud-Daar (or Hadeeth-ud-Dawa't-il'Ashherah), Hadeeth-ul-Ghadeer, Hadeeth al-Thaqalain. Abu Bakr was NOT named by the Prophet to be his successor, but Ali Ibn Abi Talib was. He was named at the Event of Ghadeer al-Khumm; this being the one event with the highest number of 'isnaad' (chains of narrations), all unbroken (muawaatir), and from MOSTLY SUNNI sources! This fact is not talked about much and is hardly known to Islam scholars in the West who carry on toeing the commonly understood and totally defective narrative concerning this event. Abu Bakr usurping the caliphate, with Umar's crucial help, was challenged by many family members and close followers of the Prophet as they refused to give him oath of allegiance followiing Saqeefah. These included not just Ali but his wife Fatimah, the Prophet's daughter, who confronted Abu Bakr and decided in the end to never speak to him till the day she died, which was about six months later. She also broke contact with Umar at the same time, accusing them both of betrayal. As she lay dying, she said that these two (plus some others) should not be informed about her death and not invited to attend her funeral. Her wishes were carried out and neither Umar nor Abu Bakr were told when she passed away; her funeral conducted at night and very very few were invited to attend. Her grave remains unknown till this day! You cannot understand Karbala (or its aftermath), entailing the slaughter of the Prophet's family members and their followers on 10th Muharram 61 AH (10th October 680 CE), unless you understand what took place at the Event of Saqeefah. Cook seems oblivious of both, and doesn't seems to know the immediate aftermath of the Event of Karbala, just like many others, including, and especial, the Sunnis. The Battle of Harrah (26 August 683 CE), followed by the sacking, pillaging and rapine of Madina then Mecca are seriously important events that took place after Karbala. They also became a threat to the rule of Yazid Ibn Mu'awiyah, as did the rebellion by the Tawwabuub (the Tawwaabiin Uprising) later, in Rabii' al-thani of 65 AH (November/December 684 CE), led by the Kufan, Sulaiman Ibn Surad. He summoned men to join his army that had assembled at Nukhayla to challenge Umayyad rule. Some 4000 finally joined. Most killed after 3 days of fighting during the Battle of Ayn al-Warda (January 685 CE) against the Umayyad force of around 20,000. Rebellions against Umayyad rule continued for a very long time after these events, even during the later Abbasid period. These drew their inspiration from the Event of Karbala, 10th Muharram, 61 AH (10th October , 680 CE). If one thinks that all these are unimportant events, being just a series of 'side shows' then one hasn't understood that period of Islamic history, and should be seen as doing nothing else than toeing the official Sunni narrative - which is as defective as it is incomplete. This has proved to be a hurdle in understanding the early history of Islam. Cook has glossed over these events and therefore shown his lack of depth in understanding this important period of Islamic history!

The problem is not that neural engines and giant databases and endgame tables play alien chess where humans have a very episodic role at most (except paying the bill for electricity). The problem is perfect chess is a draw. And because of that, there is very little room for humans except making blunders. Which is drama indeed that sells but only with proper staging. And I'd say this is where correspondence chess fails, because if a 70 yo American man fights against a 65 yo Russian man, eyesight and hand-eye coordination are not like they used to be and one mistypes a move and boom, the game is over, the poor man goes to the corner to cry and he loses another game, so it's 2-0, K.O., then I'd say this is not the kind of drama that captures the imagination of the public.

If you want to read one really great novel this year, read this book!!!

What time he talks about a man called ove please?

За секретность переписки Великая Французская Революция положила свои и чужие жизни многими сотнями

*promosm*

He is so honest. I love it. I love how even all this time he does not consider himself a "writer".

Correspondence chess was much better before computers, when you could have fun and interesting games against real people, without having to worry your opponent is cheating by using chess engines.

Love Chris Bursk.

Running ahead of the evidence. You need to justify the appeal you are making to your fellowsthis is what they did for me today.

Dawn Bates.. a phenomenal historian and aunt :)

Thank you for filming, editing, and sharing this!

Thanks for posting this

The ones who most adamantly deny that it's there are the same ones who most vehemently object to its removal. Ironic or dishonest? CRT obviates the need for any thought, word or act of racism as proof of their presumed verdict. All they need is their preferred race measuring less favorably than another. Regardless of the cause: they declare their favored race to be victims of the other. Then they would use real government enforced discrimination in response to their presumed discrimination; altering laws, policies and practices to favor their preferred race. All for the stated purpose of forcibly making the measurements between races identical. The operative question is whether you support using government force to implement racial discrimination. All the rest is academic. My answer is no.

Boo is great

I just became a fan of Fredrik Backman through my sister and this CZcams was great. Such a real person. Nothing phoney about him. I bet he is a wonderful, caring father too.

I want to thank u send my love joy an happiness in a brighter light I am going to keep my light burning for more of this

I see an hear an yet have no proof of understanding the heart an mind of a people that still haven't come together how can we a people allow hatred to stand when will the bloodshed stop an be at peace an rest that way GOD bless America

This day has not been truly celebrated or the true meaning of this day has been explained an as far as a people of a nation an Anerican proud citizen haven't had the right of freedom of speech not a white America but the land of the free I trust when I put my right hand across my chest my 4 father's blood sweat an years of tears

Put pressure on their advertisers? That doesn't make any sense. Traditionally, advertisers were one of the main sources of disinformation in the media. The tobacco industry censored all mention of health effects especially in womens' magazines, where they were a major advertiser. The automobile industry, one of the major newspaper advertisers, fought against auto safety regulations in the 1970s. The health care industry is a major advertiser. Search the New York Times for "single payer".

I want to read this book. From reviews it seems eerily similar to the real crime of 4 sex workers found in a drainage ditch behind the Golden Key motel in Atlantic City. The killer has not been found.

We live in Hell.

You gonna require courses for every ethnic group? How about Jewish Americans? How about Russian immigrants? Eastern Europeans? No? Not them? Too white?

I'm the girl that wrote the note! Still pinching myself that my note was used to welcome Mr. Backman at the Princeton Library book brunch. I will forever cherish this ❤ Thank you to the Princeton Public Library staff (especially Tom) for passing my note to Mr. Backman and for imparting a voice to my words of gratitude for this legendary author 🥰

OMG your dolls are gorgeous! I also love your story and your energy Yolanda. I am not blessed with the skill set nor temperament to crochet but seeing your dolls makes me wish I was. Cassie you are an awesome interviewer, hope to see more of you in the future. You are very authentic, a burst of sunshine. Where can we buy your dolls? Keep making magic ladies!!

It's funny. He starts out sounding so serious, and some of the stuff in his books has me laughing so hard my ribs hurt.

This is gold. :) He's a great comedian.

This is a fascinating discussion. Thanks so much for sharing this!

This is a trap isn't it lol nope later

Hi po !

It’s a great book in my view. And it’d be great if all scholars were as kind as Prof. Grumbach to colleagues working in similar areas.

Caitlin Mullen. Excellent book! Very well written. I read it in a day. Could t put it down!
