19.01/ #ShavuaTov everyone. Big Football day. #Steelers win, Patriots lose, and Ravens not only lose, but their coach demonstrates (again) just how bad a sport he is

19.02/ Tom Joseph's point is crucial. 21 Republicans would be enough, plus the 47 Democrats, to remove Trump (ym'sh). They aren't "worse" than the 30+ GOP who don't reject DJT, the former are cowards the latter are outright fascists
19.03/ What I love so far about Biden's proposed cabinet is that I haven't heard of a single one of them. It's so nice to have professionals back in charge (I'm a lifelong Democrat because I know governing requires expertise)
19.03b/ Even more names are added and I only know 1, John Kerry, but that tells me there's a pattern: pure professionals in these key roles BUT if a 'big name' is chosen, it's to signal an emphasis on an overlooked crisis

19.03c/ The diversity is important as well. Defense, DNI are women, DHS is a latino (a Cuban Jewish latino, but that's just fun)

I wonder if the pattern of 'no currently elected officials' will continue as well (a problem of the early Obama admin.)

19.04/ This is a nice video introducing the team. And I'm now reading that Janet Yellin will be the nominee for Treasury Secretary, the first woman to hold the position. I'm enjoying the quiet competence!
19.05/ With the caveat that I literally know nothing about inside baseball in DC, I'm calling my shot for AG:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanita_Gu…
19.06/ Very very true
19.07/ Our nation must make sure that Ted Cruz will not escape a reckoning for this type of betrayal. Not sure if it's against any law, but utter shunning & stigma is the least of his due
19.08a/ This is a great clip from what I assume was Blinken's job interview with Grover, explaining the importance of accepting refugees

I do like to think that all senate confirmation hearings should have a muppet portion
19.08b/ In all seriousness, my wife made a great point to me rn: every nominee should be able to explain their job to Sesame Street and, most importantly, jibe with the values of that show (in a "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" way)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_I_Rea…
19.09/ Thread about people who don't shake hands after losing in sports and the larger implications. Hint: there's a reason why Tom Brady is a big Trump (ym'sh) supporter

19.10/ A thread of a dvar Torah for parshat Toledot on a reason for Yitzchak's favorable treatment of Esav
19.11/ Ah yes, #Thanksgiving leftovers, aka "Friday Night Dinner"
19.12/ I had intended to write much more this week but Thanksgiving - thankfully - interrupted. It was very nice, considering. Zoom schmoozing with both extended families; two beat-down NFL games; and family movie night after ("Lilo & Stitch" woot!)
19.13/ Short Shabbases, especially FAT (Friday after Thanksgiving) are still abrupt in my mind. So I'll end the thread for now. #ShabbatShalom y'all

Week 229 below
230.02/ The Assad regime collapsing over Shabbas #Vayetze seems especially appropriate. I had long compared Lavan to Assad, the urbane facade hiding real cruelty and depravity. I celebrate the toppling of a murderous regime and the liberation of Saydnaya prison.
230.03/ Mets Twitter is having a party right now. This is fun. #LGM

228.02/ Fundamentally, a plurality want a minority to do all the work but get no reward while they do very little work & get all the reward. The only system that will get close to that - liberal Democracy - gives too much to people the plurality hates, so they vote for fantasies.

227.03/ The first time through the cruel & stupid Trump (ym'sh) circus I read the news with trepidation because I didn't know what terrible thing he'd do next. This time, I read the news with contempt & anger because the MSM helped elect him and wants him to succeed.

226.02/ Yup. Still here on Twitter. Gonna keep the fight and keep the faith. And also... no regrets. #HarrisWalz2024 Picture of 2 items: on the right is the volunteer badge my family wore when canvassing in PA. On the left is the door-knob flier we would put on unresponsive houses.
226.03/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. What movie? What else to start a new season, and in such a shockingly bad time? #Casablanca.

Week 224 below.
225.02/ Finally dropped off our ballots this morning & took a selfie. A fun thing then happened: a young dad carrying a baby arrived after us & he said that it was his first time voting after becoming a citizen! So I insisted on taking a photo of him (with his camera). USA! USA!
225.03/ Yes, I'm the one who waited all Shabbas for the poll, taught my kids how polls work (social science PhD, baby) & what I hoped would happen (GOP leading by only 5). And they got to see my stunned elation in real time when I read the news.
