152.02/ We're off to a wedding (yay!) as a whole family (yay!) and when we ask, globally, if everyone is ready, I think about this scene:
152.03/ Alert: "Kung Fu Hustle" is free for streaming on Amazon Prime. This is not a drill.

140.02/ This is pretty crazy. My school spirit is rising ;)
140.03/ All the cowardly bluster aside, a *botched* indictment would embolden TFG's supporters. Which is why, in my estimation, it has taken so long to bring one. It needs to be airtight and damning.

139.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight finale. One the greatest movies ever, Stalag 17 (1953). 'Nuff said.

139.03/ When I decide to listen to the White Stripes, it's to hear the drums. Meg White is awesome.

135.02/ Hurried and harried to start the week. I'm on my way to a conference and had to get up before tallis & tefillin, which is an uncomfortable way to begin the week, lemme tell you.
135.03/ #NachasAlert: so "my" team (really my son) is in second place in the @fboutsiders "Best of the Rest" contest. We're "JCypress" [sic]. We need 17 points from Kenneth Gainwell to win. So, uh... keep us in mind!

132.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues, in a way, in between football games. My daughter requested I fulfill a promise to show them some of The Simpsons, so I chose 3 episodes:

132.03/ This is an amazing Tanakh resource (with an equally amazing backstory involving refuseniks and resistance) and I can't believe it's being sold for under $3.00.

127.03/ Watching the #WorldCup - because the championship game in any sport is worth watching - and choosing to support ARG because I have cousins there. Whenever I see a header I think of this C&H:

124.02/ Shabbat was wonderful but incredibly rainy. We got to daven mincha & maariv on Sat. afternoon/night at the famed "Shteibelach" minyan factory. Tried again this AM but shacharit in the 6 o'clock hour is not as "factory-ish" as I was led to believe. So we went one block up 
124.03/ We're leaving back to America imminently. It was way too short a trip, and the days were short as well. I didn't get to see so many of my friends and I apologize for that. I'll try to make it up next time (suggested bribe: shawarma)

121.02/ Good metaphor.
However, to me, it feels like 2012 during Hurricane Sandy, waiting for the power to go out.

118.02/ Lotsa upsets in the #MLBPostseason & sore losers calling to change the new playoff format. Look, this is the key to win a championship in US sports: be good enough to get into the playoffs & then be as healthy as possible and "hot" when in them. That's the secret.
118.03/ Had old friends visit last night, both PhDs, and it was lovely but posed one the downsides of academic households: when I checked on the younger kids - 13, 13, 11 & 9 - they, no joke, asked me to moderate their discussion of the trolley problem. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_p…

112.02/ This is good news about new registrations.
We need to make them pay for the lawless, corrupt and cruel SCOTUS and it's theocratic minority rule.

112.03/ I joined twitter because I saw how good it was for *immediate* news and also live commentary for sports (which is why I still keep my sports teams hashtags in my bio. I want to remember a simpler time).

109.02/ Is there an award for putting an item in my Amazon cart, checking out "Customers who viewed this item also viewed", and seeing only things I've purchased over the past years? Some kind of "You are a singular oddball" award?
109.03/ Informative thread; this particular point is right out of halakha and the need for "hatra'ah" (warning) in order to establish mens rea.

99.02/ A good example of living in two worlds, religious and secular, is the coincidence of two sacred days: the 2nd day of #Shavuot on #DDay. Last night, after Yom Tov, only after reading the news a bit did my mind shift from "sacred to my religion" to "sacred to my citizenship"
99.03/ Pedantry Corner: it irks me to read divrei Torah about #Shavuot that enshrine incredibly recent customs as facts to derive universal truths. "This is the reason why Jews stay up all night..." or "why we eat dairy" - nope. Please don't make fads into load-bearing verities.

97.02/ #ShavuaTov everyone. My wife texted from Israel that she got positive PCR test when she landed in Israel - one day before they rescinded that requirement! She's asymptomatic, thank God, but I just don't know how it could've been avoided b/c the 'rona is rampant y'all.
97.03/ It was in the 90s today and my downstairs A/C broke days ago and I can't get a guy here until Tuesday. I told them they can prioritize others because my upstairs A/C works, Thank God, so it's not a safety issue for us. But I wouldn't mind it getting fixed soon.
94.01/ Week ninety-four, April 30-May 6, 2022, thread begins here.

94.02/ Health update: still no symptoms from my bout with COVID except for general irritability but it's impossible to know if it's different from my normal state. Isolation is lonely (big, if true) but my overall emotion is fear of making someone else sick. Dread is the worst.
91.01/ Week ninety-one, April 9-15, 2022, thread begins here. (Third attempt)
Week 90 below.

91.02/ This is awful, tragic news to read right after Shabbas. How horrible. My deep condolences to the Haskins family.
91.03/ Rangers clinch! Awesome! [Insert #NYR goal chant here]

89.02/ #NachasAlert: my son has a piece (pgs. 2-3) in his high school's Torah journal. The final draft was 3 pages long so this published version was cut down significantly. (Now I get to teach him the academic trick of publishing 'chapters' as articles).

89.03/ This is such a good video, it can be played on an endless loop and it brings a big smile to my face whenever I see it. It's fine while silent but the sound makes it a masterpiece

I'm making the week number three digits because it's getting close to 100 and I want to avoid the double eight weirdness

088.03/ Sadly, I needed to miss my favorite book sale of all time, the Bryn-Mawr "A Gym Filled With Used Books That You Can Purchase By The Box For A Set Price I Am Not Kidding" Wellsley Book Sale because it was on Purim and Shabbos. Shazbot. Next year?

Me: "How can I get everything done? There are only 24 hours in a day!"

84.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight put off a night because of social obligations. Monday is a legal holiday so we will hopefully have movie night tomorrow night.
84.03/ Couldn't be happier, or prouder, as a #Steelers fan to see they hired Brian Flores to be a senior coach. The team gets top notch talent and they take an anti-racist stand. And, as seen below, it earns respect from players:

80.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. This week: "Apollo 13" - a family custom when someone is recovering from having wisdom teeth taken out. And it's pretty great.
80.03/ The #NYR won 7-3, scoring 5 unanswered, and that score is larger than the current 49ers-Packers game. Sports can be weird.

75.02/ Over Shabbos I read my family the #JortsTheCat story & much fun was had by all. I uploaded a PDF of the story with OCR text from images I found on twitter. The pure pics are (1) images of the cats & (2) a "I can't believe it's not Jorts" joke.

75.03/ Had one of those theodicy-inducing funerals this morning. My neighbor, Sari Shalmon zt'l, passed away too young. Her life was dedicated to acts of kindness, teaching Torah and teaching science, and selfless giving. Very sad, hard loss. .ת.נ.צ.ב.ה rpry.org/about/people/1…
