101.01/ Week one-hundred and one, June 18-24, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 100 below.
101.02/ This is great news!
washingtonpost.com/health/2022/06…
101.03/ I'm at the Met game, I'm at my #FathersDay present, I'm at the combination #Mets game Father's Day present! #LGM The view from my seat at Ci...
101.04/ This was great!
101.04/ As a father, I think Seth Lugo needs to go to his room and think about what he's done. #FathersDayMets #LGM
101.05/ I helped!
101.06/ I take full responsibility for the #Mets loss today. Whenever my family goes to a game, we seem to lose. I have that effect on Flushing Meadows. #LGM
101.07/ This is a very useful thread by @Yair_Rosenberg about the (confusing) breaking news about the Israeli government:
101.08/ Last night the @SNYtv booth said that the last time the #Mets beat the Astros [insert trash can lid sound] in Houston was in 2011, when they were both in the National League! #LGM
ultimatemets.com/oppteams.php?T…
101.09/ In addition to voting we need to get out the vote. See this important list by the incomparable @Teri_Kanefield about ways to help save American democracy:
terikanefield.substack.com/p/to-do-list-f…
101.10/ I have a sociological-theological answer for the disturbing proliferation of anti-social Joshes, but for now I'll acknowledge that The Council of Assorted Joshuas need to police our members better. Maybe adding another yud?
101.11/ [Insert your preferred gif of people clapping here]
101.12/ It's clear that ignorance *is* bliss. But it's also (too often) deadly and it's the root of criminal negligence.

It's not moral to remain ignorant, and the fact that it feels good should signal to you how selfish it is to willingly stay that way.
101.12b/ This came up b/c - from a combo of nature/nurture - I'm determined to know the truth of things no matter how painful. And knowing what's going on (& why) doesn't actually make me feel good. It's incredibly frustrating! But I keep maintaining my gaze as a moral imperative
101.13/ Barukh Dayan ha-Emet. This is absolutely horrible news. A tragedy for human rights and American liberty
101.14/ The Roberts Court has gutted nearly every significant right American citizens had & now women are no longer first class citizens & the right to privacy has been destroyed. A literal curse on everyone who helped this happen through action or negligence.
101.15/ Re: our corrupt & cruel SCOTUS.

What I'm feeling is an emotion that's idiomatic of, but not unique to, Jewish culture: a mixture of rage & sorrow. My heart is heavy but my mind focused on who's guilty & who's being hurt. This emotion precedes a call for God's judgement.
101.16/ FYI:
101.17/ #NachasAlert (even in the face of tragedy, there's still nachas)

Despite it being his responsibility, I needed to allow my son to be absent when his "trunk" was picked up to go to sleepaway camp because he was teaching a self-created Gemara shiur at the time. He's 15.
101.18/ #NachasAlert (even in the face of tragedy, there's still nachas)

After many years of waiting I was able to finally register a new voter this week. How many years? Eighteen.

(Also registered for selective-service, jury-duty, & other citizenship duties. Thank God.)
101.19/ Parshat #Shelach has two immediate messages for us today

(1) what it feels like when 5/6th of men, seized with terror of their inadequacy, doom a nation to the wilderness

(2) When we expand the court, it should be 23 judges based on the #meraglim

101.21/ You don't need to have a uterus to be horrified by this corrupt & cruel Court's uprooting of Roe. Legal precedent means nothing to them. Every right we have can disappear. They want us to live in 1850 but we can reverse it in November if we stay together & stay strong!
101.22/ A political party that lusts after controlling bodies by banning abortion has thus criminalized following Jewish law. Halakha demands abortion in many cases. It now may be assur to live in or visit those states because of pikuach nefesh. The GOP has banned a Torah law!
101.23/ Some important perspectives before I go for Shabbos:



and here's Democratic leadership


101.24/ The Republican party is determined to strike at every American liberty. Listen to their Chief Legal Theologian, Clarence Thomas:
101.25/ Sigh
101.26/ I'll be clear: when I said above I'm laying a curse on those who let this happen, that's not a metaphor. I'm calling God's judgment down. That goes for anyone who suppresses the vote right now. I'm serious.

(Look at what we've gotten from Biden)
101.27/ Be careful everyone, protest safely, help those in need, because we're surrounded by the callous, corrupt, and the cruel. We're all in this together.

#ShabbatShalom

Week 232 below. #HappyChanukah!
233.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with a favorite - The Martian (2015) - that combined two of my other favorites: Cast Away (2000) & Apollo 13 (1995). Yes, I'm surprised Tom Hanks wasn't in this one.

233.03/ @ppppp1245688 is correct, and I just realized that it's the modern-secular equivalent of a Yissachar-Zevulun arrangement!

Week 231 below. Yes, it's super late, but this app is sputtering.
232.02/ Shiva minyans during #Chanukah are surreal. That is all.
232.03/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight was actually on Nitel-nacht (after we learned Torah, like good little Litvaks). And what else? Yippe-kai-yay, Maccabee.

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.
