111.01/ Week one-hundred and eleven, August 27-September 2, 2022, thread begins here.
Week 110 below.
111.02/ Good news.
111.03/ Gorbachev has died. End of an era.

Thoughtful obit by the always valuable Natan Sharansky (h.t. @acypess)
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
111.04/ Very useful thread about advisable practices to accommodate the hard-of-hearing:
111.05/ [Chef's kiss]
111.06/ Well not with that attitude.
[Seriously; a MSM member's job is not to be a cynical spreader of mass depression. His platform enables him to combat the lawlessness. This claim helps the destruction of Democracy, so why make it?!]
111.07/ This is so cool!
Reminds me of Doug Jones in Alabama.

111.08/ Good get here. The Helsinki Capitulation should have placed the entire intelligence community - worldwide - that there was a easily-purchased traitorous poltroon in the White House.
111.09/ This is true and well put. Not to advance a dehumanization, these are people with agency who a free-riding in order to destroy.
111.10/ This is a fun parenting story/thread. My oldest is 18, I miss these times so much (and all my kids loved Thomas, so I can strongly relate)
111.11/ Yup. Pretty much.
111.12/ If this happened to me it would be the first sentence I'd emit every morning and the last thing I'd say every night.
111.13/ Ever since Trump (ym'sh) had the Russians unescorted in the Oval Office, right after he fired Comey, I've been expecting this. It's de-facto treason.
111.14/ Ouch.
cf.
111.15/ Preview for next week's parsha: false weights and measures (dishonesty in financial dealings) is an abomination. {Subtweet until I have more time to write}
sefaria.org/Deuteronomy.25…
etzion.org.il/en/philosophy/…
111.16/ I hope Abrams wins for many reasons, primarily because she'll be a good governor, but also because we need her skill, talent and intelligence on a bigger stage. Wow, she's good.
111.17/ "Gut biota" is such a great metaphor, re: pundits and/or the MSM's abandonment of their jobs.
(Also, as a politically knowledgeable child of a biologist, this is right in the bullseye of my biographical Venn diagram)
111.18/ Some great messaging coming from the White House:
and the great speech from last night. Key clip:
111.19/ Biden's speech was good and necessarily in itself, but it also worked as a sting operation against fascist sympathizers & fellow-travelers who yelped about being so easily caught. Included are the enablers of fascism in the MSM as @Rschooley says:
111.20/ Re: YU. In brief:
(1) There are & have always been gay frum Jews (2) One can be gay and fulfill all 613 commandments (3) Frum gay students must be allowed to study Torah at the highest levels (4) Why deny these students compassion & support?
111.21/ Yeah, it still feels like summer, before Labor Day and all that, but candle lighting is 12 minutes earlier this week than last and that's just JARRING.
111.22/ Thread of Parshat ha-Shavua shiurim by Orthodox women scholars, what I've called #ChochmatNashim after the organization @ChochmatNashim, for #Shoftim 5782
111.23/ My oldest left for Israel on Monday and I'm happy and proud for him - he seems to be having a great time - I miss him. This is a necessary part of parenthood and it's so much easier to keep in touch than when I went in 1990 & 1995. But it's a strange #Elul type feeling.
111.24/ Have a great Shabbas everyone, may this coming new year be even better - and filled with more compassion and justice - than this past Shemitta period. Please stay safe everyone and #ShabbatShalom
