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.
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
229.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayetze #Vayetzei #Vayeitzei 5784 2023 (LAST YEAR). @ChochmatNashim.

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.
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.
