58a.2/ It's been so long, that I forgot my methodology. In addition to the thread, I need to post the first Tweet in the thread (especially if the threaders go kaput)
61.3/ From Sept 14, 2021, reflections about the death of Norm MacDonald. Since his death, I've heard he was a creep around women and that makes my first post even better.
61.4/ A Sept 15, 2021 thread of my live-texting to my sleeping son about the crazy #NFL MNF game (not knowing it'd be reflective of both team's play during the rest of the season).
61.5/ A pre-YK thread about my difficulty in finding ways to forgive my community for their embracing of Trump (ym'sh) and plague denial. #ReshetKeshet
75.1/ From December 24, 2021, my plea for a cease fire between the far-Left and the Left (who generally made peace with the center-Left) so we can all join together to fight fascism.
77.1/ Thread from Jan 2, 2022 with my exploration for why comedians - who at one point appeared avant-garde and perceptive - become selfish myopic cranks.
78.1/ Another #NFL thread (this project has shown me how many I wrote this season. Heck, 2020 showed me that sports are a luxury, so might as well enjoy it) from Jan 12, 2022.
91.1/ From April 12, 2022, a thread about the #JOFA scandal - the abuse, coverup, and what I recommend as a way forward. This led to 2 more follow-ups (see below). #ReshetKeshet.
Since there's an imminent demise of Twitter, I don't think I can afford to use the time to keep updating this list. And I think I should seal it off. Maybe the site will live, but Murphy's Law reigns supreme with Death and Taxes.
196.03/ #NachasAlert: My son has a big article (pages 4-6) in this week's Torah journal from his high school #Metzora-#HaGadol. Enjoy! drive.google.com/file/d/1uNKU5O…
195.02/ Happy #Eclipse2024 Day for all who celebrate. Here's an interesting article about the halakhic implications of an eclipse by Rabbi Dov Linzer: blogs.timesofisrael.com/solar-eclipse-…
195.03/ #Eclipse2024 My extended family went to a place of 100% totality and took this picture a few minutes ago. For me its 90% and can't be photographed (which is one reason I said shehechiyanu). Not paskening for anyone else, but for me this is a religious experience.
194.02/ #ChochmatNashim for #Shemini 5784.
@ChochmatNashim
Downloadable PDF with working links to Divrei Torah by Orthodox women scholars on the parsha and other topics of the week. #Shmini #HaChodesh drive.google.com/file/d/1bFHTfW…
193.03/ #NachasAlert: Final (so far) tally of times my son leyned Megillah seven times; 3 last night, four times today. Including once for a home-bound Shoah survivor. So proud.
192.02/ So today is #ZayinAdar and Saint Patrick's Day during Ramadan. What could go wrong?
192.03/ There's a resonance in having a fast that commemorates a community sacrifice for soldiers fighting a defensive war against raging antisemites. #TaanitEsther
191.02/ Last #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight of the season. How to top last week, and with a movie my youngest hasn't seen yet? "Fletch (1985)" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletch_(f…
191.03/ I agree with Prof. Simkovich, re: the Oscar guy.
Also, I see people wrestling to make sense of his convoluted phrasing, but I'm not inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to a declaration that inherently refuses to give others the same benefit.
