38.01/ Week 38, April 4-9, 2021, begins here.

Week 37 linked below
38.02/ From last night, following the 9 Day Passover Of Twenty-Twenty-One
38.03/ The wisdom/motivation of changing the name associated with your group depends on who gave the name in the first place.

If the majority imposed the original name: understandable way to reframe stigma

If you chose the original name: you're not fooling anybody prunes
38.04/ My kids tell me that the vaccine is called a "Fauci Ouchie" and I love that.

I bless you all to receive your Fauci-Ouchie soon, in good health.
38.05/ I really want this to be true

How it can be: I was gifted a t-shirt from China & was told it said "People of the Book." Later, my friend told me the shirt actually just said "Book" (BTW, his holding back laughter was gold). IMO, the OP is plausible
38.06/ Nice. This 7th inning is revenge by the #Mets for last night's error laden meltdown that ruined yet another scintillating DeGrom start
38.07/ Two very good articles from Magdi Semrau from Alternet, which I receive from my subscription to the Stoehr "Editorial Board" - one of my favorite reads of the week. I highly recommend Stoehr's work, and Semrau's

38.08/ I will endeavor, when I reprimand/scold/chide/whatever someone on their use of a bigoted term/concept/trope, to quickly provide them with a easily usable alternative.

I will thus also need to quickly devise a set of actually useful alternatives ASAP.
38.09/ Read this last night and said "This is profound and I need to spend time thinking about it" and that holds even more given today is #YomHaShoah

38.10/ I enjoy Twitter and read it for news & all forms of education. But the fact that people are afraid to post about #YomHaShoah because they'll get dogpiled by enthusiastic & cruel N*zis demonstrates that the website is built on flawed principles.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_o… Famous 3 panel comic entitl...
38.11/ Brilliant line and important thread about fascist propaganda and the assault on voting rights: "disinformation offers permission, not persuasion"

38.12/ New book from my sister-in-law @LeahCypess!
"Thornwood, is told from the point of view of Sleeping Beauty’s little sister, and is going to kick off a series of retellings, called Sisters Ever After, about “the sisters the fairy tales left out.”"
tor.com/2021/04/07/fai…
38.13/ Today begins the modern Jewish history week, between #YomHaShoah and #YomHaAtzmaut, which is when I recommend reading "Faith & Destiny" by Rav J.B. Soloveitchik.

(It's #5 in my list of books every Jew should read, see thread below:)

38.14/ This is a good entry in the most recent Twitter Humor Template.

(I wonder if there's a record of this somewhere because certain jokes travel through the meme-stream, live like mayflies and then become passé in just a few days)

38.15/ Wrote this last year. It still holds. We've played 3.5 games and we've left about ten thousand guys on base in scoring position. Did we back the team bus over a witch's bicycle or something?

38.16/ Behold! This example by Perlstein is a great example of what I broadly describe as a "sampling error" (note, I agree with him)

38.17/ Wrote this about the slimy end to yesterday's Mets game. Cheating isn't winning in sports. That's the WHOLE POINT of sports.

38.18/ Strong agree. The fight still goes on, the brutes are fighting hard to regain power, but we won this round and we can enjoy the ability to right the wrongs

38.19/ An excellent distillation of the proper attitude in fighting the dangerous kooks: don't out argue them (which is your paradigm), out power them (which is the paradigm they understand)

38.21/ This should be useful, Shmuel Rosner @rosnersdomain generally knows what he's talking about. #IsraElex4 #israelelections

jewishlink.news/features/43178…
38.22/ Time to pull up the rug on this week. I had a successful second trip to the Meadowlands, thanks to @sthorntonflute!, and that took some time away.

Have a #ShabbatShalom everybody

210.01/ Week two-hundred and ten, July 20-26, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 209 below.
210.02/ 1. Thank you Pres. Biden for your incredible job as president. I'm sorry you're not running again

2. I support VP Harris with all my might to be president in 2024. And I hope all freedom loving Americans will do the same.
210.03/ I had too many sleepless nights over the last three weeks because of the drumbeat against Biden b/c there was too much smoke for there not to be fire. What kept me steady was my trust of his judgement. So if he thinks this is wise, then I logically have to support it.

209.01/ Week two-hundred and nine, July 13-19, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 208 below.
209.02/ Following the assassination attempt on TFG yesterday - an act I condemn; ballots not bullets - the reaction by news agencies has been unhinged. But I'm singling out The Daily Beast and Politico who are lionizing TFG using very disturbing rhetoric. I've had to unfollow.
209.03/ I'm furious that so many in Congress are playing this dangerous game but I'm reminding myself that (1) the MSM has been fabricating stories & amplifying mythological pro-GOP nonsense for a while now & (2) I trust Biden's abilities to handle this like he did NATO.

208.01/ Week two-hundred and eight, July 6-12, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 207 below.
208.02/ Demographically, I should be part of the "elite" but the past two weeks showed me that I'm a solid true-blue member of the Democratic "base" because I'm standing by Biden-Harris & have a white-hot rage against the media (& the cowards in my party) trying to take us down.
208.03/ People ask "Why haven't the media learned their lesson from 'But Her Emails?' in 2016"?! But the answer is QED - they did learn their lesson: that with relentless bad-faith attacks they can knock out the Democrat & elect a cash-cow tabloid buffoon. They know & want this.

207.01/ Week two-hundred and seven, June 29-July 5, 2024 begins here.

Week 206 below.
207.02/ I didn't see the debate because I can't stand listening to Trump (ym'sh). The bizarre meltdown by the MSM calling for Biden to drop out is not only disgusting but reignited the normie-Democrats' blazing anger at the MSM goofs that brought us "But Her Emails" in 2016.
207.03/ Ironically, the drumbeat from the MSM about Biden's age for months - probably starting right after the withdrawal from Afghanistan which ruined their gravy train - prepared the public for how he sounded at the debate. The MSM hit-job backfired.

Week 205 below.
206.02/ Bowman lost AND the Mets beat the Yankees on the same day? Thank you The Bronx for a fun time! #LGM #BringThemHome.
206.03/ May her memory be for a blessing. Gave tzedakah in her name and will dedicate my learning today as well. Offering as much comfort as possible.

205.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Behaalotecha 5783 (last year) @ChochmatNashim
