105.01/ Week one-hundred and five, July 16-22, 2022, thread begins here.

The #ThreeWeeks begin here as well, sorry.

Week 104 below.
105.02/ Wait, hold on, the longest hottest fast day - #ShivaAsarBiTammuz - is #NationalIceCreamDay?! This is both irritatingly annoying... and religiously satisfying. We get extra credit for the fast!

105.03/ Gotta hand it to #ShivaAsarBiTammuz this year, it's getting its money's worth because I'm feeling really terrible. Excellent quality, consistent results. A well-crafted day of affliction. 5 stars on yelp and/or five yelps.
105.04/ We did use a "tooth fairy" for our kids - to cushion the fright and pain they feel when they lose teeth - but instead of a "fairy" I said it was Elijah, because if he's traveling to every Seder and bris, he can leave money under pillows.
105.05/ For the Spike Jones enthusiast, I needed to check, and it took until 2016 for a racehorse to be named Beetle-Bomb. The song was performed in 1948; c'mon guys.

105.06/ This is good news, at least better news than before, that they are denying this unrepentant monster citizenship. He's a persistent threat to others and it's an egregious lapse that he was allowed entry.
105.07/ This is a very good piece.

In general @JohnJHarwood has managed to keep grounded over the #TrumpCrisis (now in year 7!) which is admirable for such a high-profile journalist.
105.08/ About time. (Hey, I don't make the rules.)
105.09/ Good ad by @MomsAGAbbott Mothers Against Greg Abbott, described by @NoLieWithBTC as: "a diverse coalition of Texas women" (h/t to him).
105.10/ Yes, this is a great word!

And a cool website for etymology

105.11a/ This is 100% true. In another era it'd be my screensaver.


Original:
Posting the clip for the fans. Also, warning, it's kinda violent.
Needs to be in 2 parts, so part 1
105.11b/ Part 2 of the great Magneto meets Argentinian N*zis clip from "First Class"

(I tried adding subtitles, but the bot didn't know what to do with the Spanish & German, I guess)
105.12/ Quick #Torah thread about King Saul, kicked off by the brilliant @MisfitTorah
105.13/ #Pinchas vort from last year. I really should try to thread the original discussion.
105.14/ I dunno, IMO people don't vote against their interests. Their vote *reveals* their interests.

(Unless there's actual coercion, I cannot paternalistically assign naivete or lack of agency to people, especially when they do bad things that require preparation/effort.)
105.15/ After playing "Owner of a Lonely Heart" before dinner for my kids, I decided to go for the trifecta and followed it with "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" then "Won't Get Fooled Again." If you don't know why, see below:
105.16/ This looks like a good law. It's actually pretty impressive what Biden-Harris are getting done even with such a perilously thin majority in Congress.

105.17/ Did the GOP write this?
105.18/ Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines…
105.19/ That's cool. And it was before the 3 weeks, too.

Wasn't his wedding, he was a guest
jta.org/2022/07/19/spo…
105.20/ For some reason I have trouble printing tweets (they show up blank) so to preserve some threads I need to take screenshots. @_screenshoter is good for this & now they made a standalone page to do it!
screenshoter.live
See here for more tools:
twitter.com/i/lists/140558…
105.21/ #ChochmatNashim for #Pinchas 5782 thread.

Yes it's getting bigger every week; kein yirbu (may it get bigger)
105.22/ The GOP is on record; we must hang this around their necks and make sure they don't win in November, for all of our sakes.
105.23/ Shabbas is going to be a scorcher, so stay safe everyone, take care of those in need, and #ShabbatShalom

Week 194 below.
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. The total eclipse of April 8, 2024

Week 191 below.
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

And, hey, it's working already!

Week 190 below.
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.
