100.01/ Week one-hundred, June 11-17, 2022, thread begins here. Three digits achievement unlocked?

Week 99 below.
100.02/ Gotta say, this guy sounds exactly like the type of guy I'd like to run the DOJ Jan6 investigation (h.t. @Delavegalaw)
news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/do…
100.03/ In honor of the goofiest holiday, here's one of my favorite @TheOnion headlines ever:
theonion.com/nation-hoping-…
(This is my long-time custom)

100.04/ Prof. Naomi Graetz - a towering figure whose work has been a staple of mine - has 3 new essays:
blogs.timesofisrael.com/in-praise-of-g…
blogs.timesofisrael.com/from-ruth-to-l…
blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-chained-wo…
See also bgu.academia.edu/NaomiGraetz
In a sad irony, she has no Wikipedia page, cf: theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
100.05/ From Sat. night:
100.06/ Excellent
100.07/ Gracious winners are as necessary as gracious losers. This was classy by the Lightning coach and takes a bit of the sting away from the #NYR loss. A bit.
100.08/ It's good that DOJ made it explicit.
100.09/ Thank God we're getting a vaccine out to small children. I have such sympathy for parents during the pandemic; must be a nightmare
nytimes.com/2022/06/15/us/…
100.10/ Beaker has long been a cautionary tale for what can happen in under-supervised academic science.
100.11/ This has long been my policy. Go along to get along, ya know.
100.12/ This thread is absolutely right, re: no such thing as an irreplaceable genius. Even if there were, it's wrong to keeping abusers in their positions no matter what because the ends don't justify the means.
100.13/ This is absolutely how all book reviews should be written, with bunnies. This is a 2021 review by @BunniesBook of my sister-in-law @LeahCypess' recent book.
bookbunnies.blog/2021/09/04/mar…
100.14/ "NRA" in this headline means "National Recreation Area" but I think I'd treat a neighbor who owns rattlesnakes the same way I would if they own guns.

And, no, I'm not hiking that trail. C'mon man. Reminds me of this:


jewishlink.news/features/51967…
100.15/ Nice to see. I wonder if they'll finally add a bathroom on the first floor.
jewishlink.news/community-news…
100.16/ I'm behind on a lot of things, so: Mulaney violated my trust when he brought Ch*ppelle on stage to spew hate on an unsuspecting audience. I haven't seen an apology yet. I'm not sure what would work to restore my goodwill.

avclub.com/john-mulaney-d…
100.17/ Ya know, hats off to Earl Grey, whoever he is/was, for the amazing marketing job of making weird tasting tea the standard for sophistication. I'm presuming Grey also made Poupon mustard because it's the same strategy, same disappointing reality.
100.18/ #ChochmatNashim for #Behaalotekha

100.19/ This is really really cool. I showed it to my kids as something to aspire to (note, I only finished Shas at 48, so, no pressure)
100.20/ Speaking as a sociologist of health, I endorse this point.
100.21/ [Mike drop]
100.22/ It's just too perfect. Pence looking to *Quayle* for stable wisdom.
100.23/ Fetterman got on my radar for his trash talking in 2020 (and as a child of Western PA, I appreciated the fire); I really hope this type of stuff works.
100.24/ This another example of how the @SNYtv #LGM booth is the best in sports. They are Met fans, sure, but they are baseball purists and they are ANGRY at how badly the Brewers played at the end, even though it gave us the win.
100.25/ The fine art of the well-crafted burn
100.26/ Excellent illustration.
100.27/ Seconded: "Proposal to stop referring to the pandemic in the past tense and climate change in the future tense."
100.28/.Even though candle lighting is in a while, we're taking on Shabbas early, so I will end here. Please stay safe everyone and #ShabbatShalom!

99.01/ Week ninety-nine, June 6-10, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 98 below.
99.02/ A good example of living in two worlds, religious and secular, is the coincidence of two sacred days: the 2nd day of #Shavuot on #DDay. Last night, after Yom Tov, only after reading the news a bit did my mind shift from "sacred to my religion" to "sacred to my citizenship"
99.03/ Pedantry Corner: it irks me to read divrei Torah about #Shavuot that enshrine incredibly recent customs as facts to derive universal truths. "This is the reason why Jews stay up all night..." or "why we eat dairy" - nope. Please don't make fads into load-bearing verities.

98.01/ Week ninety-eight, May 28-June 3, 2022, thread begins here. #YomYerushalayim Sameach!

Week 97 thread below.
98.02/ Valuable thread about the gun industry and I learned from him an excellent term I will now incorporate into my social theory: Agnotology = "the cultural production of ignorance."
98.03/ Wow: "The science is abundantly clear: More guns do not stop crime. Guns kill more children each year than auto accidents. More children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active military members." (Scientific American)

97.01/ Week ninety-seven, May 21-27, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 96 below.
97.02/ #ShavuaTov everyone. My wife texted from Israel that she got positive PCR test when she landed in Israel - one day before they rescinded that requirement! She's asymptomatic, thank God, but I just don't know how it could've been avoided b/c the 'rona is rampant y'all.
97.03/ It was in the 90s today and my downstairs A/C broke days ago and I can't get a guy here until Tuesday. I told them they can prioritize others because my upstairs A/C works, Thank God, so it's not a safety issue for us. But I wouldn't mind it getting fixed soon.

96.01/ Week ninety-six, May 14-20, 2022, thread begins here.

#PesachSheni Sameach!

Week 95 below.
96.02/ Because we are.

And it's about the same people. The GOP is the Confederacy right down to the rotten core of cowardly rebels.
96.03/ It's really this simple. And b/c it's actually this simple, it's clear anti-voters don't understand citizenship & shared responsibility like I do.

They're like anti-vaxers that way. In this way too: both threaten all our lives when they opt out.

95.01/ Week ninety-five, May 7-13, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 94 below.
95.02/ Them: "What will I tell my kids?!"

Me: "Talk to them, teach them, it's part of the role of parent. I do it all the time."

My kids: "Yes! He does! Please make him stop!"

Me, distributing handouts: "OK, on page 3, we have fieldnotes I took in '95..."

Kids: "Nooooo!"
95.03/ Hey, I think I got the @HowieRose trivia question for the first time today (Q: which Rolling Stones song mentions the Kentucky Derby. A: "Dead Flowers"). But I refuse to believe this is one of Howie's favorite songs. It's purposefully terrible, man. It's just awful.

94.01/ Week ninety-four, April 30-May 6, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 93 below.
94.02/ Health update: still no symptoms from my bout with COVID except for general irritability but it's impossible to know if it's different from my normal state. Isolation is lonely (big, if true) but my overall emotion is fear of making someone else sick. Dread is the worst.
94.03/ I see the #Mets won (this is a fun season so far, especially since I'm not the one getting hit by fastballs in the head) and the #NYR won and are ready for the playoffs. Best of all is post-#NFLDraft Sat. night when I get to see all the gifts my team gave me as a fan. #LGM
