The Fat Jew, meet Karma.
Karma, meet The Fat Jew.
In a classic taste-of-his-own-medicine scenario, a Twitter user has uploaded every page of the Josh “The Fat Jew” Ostrovsky’s new memoir, “Money Pizza Respect.” Ostrovsky famously came under fire this summer for “curating” his popular Instagram account with unattributed memes and jokes created by other comedians, all the while gaining a massive following that brought with it an explosion of sponsored deals, paid appearances, a line of wine and, most recently, a book deal.

As of this writing, Twitter had not yet shut down user Sealfan78 (@updog7) for violating Twitter’s Terms of Service, but they have stopped him from posting any more pictures.

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
