126.01/ Week one-hundred and twenty-six, December 10-16, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 125 below.

126.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with Superman (1978) the trend-setter for all modern superhero movies. Also IMO has the best theme music and I *love* movie/TV themes. Brilliant art direction, amazing cast.

126.03/ Reference for NFL euphemisms: (1) "[player showing some] discomfort" = he's injured and in pain, (2) "[player is] shaken up" = he's so injured that he can't get up, (3) "[player is] down" = an injury that would prompt a normal person to call 911.

124.04/ My brother, @acypess MD PhD, sent me this and validates the veracity. This is good news.

126.05/ Given the active sabotage by the app's weak, brittle owner - punctuated by the elimination of Trust & Safety and tonight's banning of journalists - I'm backing up my account to here: @JoshuaCypess@mstdn.party

I hope this app does survive; it's valuable to me. But yipe.

126.05b/ Re: why I feel a need to make a posting backup. For longer form pieces, I will need to reignite my blogs. Here's one for now: reshetkeshet.blogspot.com

The mass-banning is a pathetic move by El*n. What a petulant and weak person.

126.06/ Get more free COVID tests from the USPS:

126.08/ #LGM

126.09/ Stay safe everybody & #ShabbatShalom!
