105.01/ Week one-hundred and five, July 16-22, 2022, thread begins here.
The #ThreeWeeks begin here as well, sorry.
Week 104 below.
105.02/ Wait, hold on, the longest hottest fast day - #ShivaAsarBiTammuz - is #NationalIceCreamDay?! This is both irritatingly annoying... and religiously satisfying. We get extra credit for the fast!

105.03/ Gotta hand it to #ShivaAsarBiTammuz this year, it's getting its money's worth because I'm feeling really terrible. Excellent quality, consistent results. A well-crafted day of affliction. 5 stars on yelp and/or five yelps.
105.04/ We did use a "tooth fairy" for our kids - to cushion the fright and pain they feel when they lose teeth - but instead of a "fairy" I said it was Elijah, because if he's traveling to every Seder and bris, he can leave money under pillows.
105.05/ For the Spike Jones enthusiast, I needed to check, and it took until 2016 for a racehorse to be named Beetle-Bomb. The song was performed in 1948; c'mon guys.

105.06/ This is good news, at least better news than before, that they are denying this unrepentant monster citizenship. He's a persistent threat to others and it's an egregious lapse that he was allowed entry.
105.07/ This is a very good piece.
In general @JohnJHarwood has managed to keep grounded over the #TrumpCrisis (now in year 7!) which is admirable for such a high-profile journalist.
105.08/ About time. (Hey, I don't make the rules.)
105.09/ Good ad by @MomsAGAbbott Mothers Against Greg Abbott, described by @NoLieWithBTC as: "a diverse coalition of Texas women" (h/t to him).
105.10/ Yes, this is a great word!

105.11a/ This is 100% true. In another era it'd be my screensaver.
Original:
Posting the clip for the fans. Also, warning, it's kinda violent.
Needs to be in 2 parts, so part 1
105.11b/ Part 2 of the great Magneto meets Argentinian N*zis clip from "First Class"
(I tried adding subtitles, but the bot didn't know what to do with the Spanish & German, I guess)
105.12/ Quick #Torah thread about King Saul, kicked off by the brilliant @MisfitTorah
105.13/ #Pinchas vort from last year. I really should try to thread the original discussion.
105.14/ I dunno, IMO people don't vote against their interests. Their vote *reveals* their interests.
(Unless there's actual coercion, I cannot paternalistically assign naivete or lack of agency to people, especially when they do bad things that require preparation/effort.)
105.15/ After playing "Owner of a Lonely Heart" before dinner for my kids, I decided to go for the trifecta and followed it with "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" then "Won't Get Fooled Again." If you don't know why, see below:
105.16/ This looks like a good law. It's actually pretty impressive what Biden-Harris are getting done even with such a perilously thin majority in Congress.
105.17/ Did the GOP write this?
105.18/ Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

105.19/ That's cool. And it was before the 3 weeks, too.
Wasn't his wedding, he was a guest

105.20/ For some reason I have trouble printing tweets (they show up blank) so to preserve some threads I need to take screenshots. @_screenshoter is good for this & now they made a standalone page to do it!

105.21/ #ChochmatNashim for #Pinchas 5782 thread.
Yes it's getting bigger every week; kein yirbu (may it get bigger)
105.22/ The GOP is on record; we must hang this around their necks and make sure they don't win in November, for all of our sakes.
105.23/ Shabbas is going to be a scorcher, so stay safe everyone, take care of those in need, and #ShabbatShalom
