NIZHNY NOVGOROD—A funeral was held Tuesday for Irina Slavina, a celebrated local journalist, who set herself on fire outside the police headquarters in Nizhny Novgorod and died. But this is not a story about a reporter committing suicide. Hundreds of thousands read Slavina’s website, Koza.Press, the bravest media outlet in the city. Her readers knew exactly what she meant in her final Facebook post: “Blame the Russian Federation for my death,” it said. The authorities have been persecuting, investigating and interrogating this sensible and dignified woman for years. On October 1, local law enforcement broke down the door to her apartment […]

Taylor died in a September 17 homicide that has not yet been resolved by police. Police are currently searching for the suspect. The victims, aged between 24 and 48, have been hospitalized but […]
The first indie comedy set entirely at a shiva, the Jewish commemoration of the dead that, at least in North America, has evolved into a ritual that is half-family reunion and half-nosh fest, Emma Seligman’s Shiva Baby is intermittently amusing. Like many movies of its ilk, Seligman’s flirts with edgy material but swiftly defuses its transgressive potential. After debuting at SXSW during its swiftly constituted pandemic edition last spring, the film, which had its Canadian premiere this week at this year’s pared down Toronto International Film Festival, is being hailed as a “homecoming” for the Canadian-born Seligman. Shiva Baby’s premise […]

When people said they were dying to see movies in cinemas again, the CEO of AMC Theatres may have taken the words too literally. Adam Aron, CEO and president of the country’s largest theater chain, is the target of pointed outrage after announcing that the company’s plan to reopen 450 of the more than 600 locations that were forced to close due to the coronavirus pandemic does not include a rule requiring patrons to wear masks. In states where wearing a mask is required, the company will adhere to that mandate, and all employees will be required to wear them. Patrons […]
Afghanistan attacks: President orders military to switch to offensive mode …by PressTV, Tehran [ Editor’s Note: The Kabul government got its thank you today for releasing a 1000 Taliban prisoners without having gotten any of theirs released. ISIS took credit for the funeral slaughter, one of their specialties, although the US has bombed other of civilian gatherings over the years as “doo-doo happens” incidents. I would be surprised if the Taliban did the maternity slaughter, although years ago they were poisoning the water in girls schools to protest their being educated. They are a bit old-fashioned you know. I discovered this […]
Thank G-d my mother is already dead. I catch myself saying that a lot these days. Nine years ago, her cancer diagnosis and inevitable death were the most harrowing experiences I could have ever imagined. And for as long as I could, I didn’t. Until days before she died, I found the words to ask her: “Mom, how do you live without your mother?” I didn’t want to talk about the end of her life. I didn’t want to spend time going through generations of family photos, Judaica and memorabilia, despite her begging me to. But once the only treatment left […]
