106.01/ Week one-hundred and six, July 23-29, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 105 below.
106.02/ A thread I wrote about my early Sunday morning interaction with your (un)friendly neighborhood troll; why I responded and what my goals were.
106.03/ This is an explosive thread about entirely plausible whistleblower backlash at the NewYorker - a mag my family have been subscribers to as long as I can remember - shows what real "cancel culture" looks like.
106.04/ Not sure how @QueenMab87 puts up with disturbed randos writing her long screeds in high dudgeon (the fancy way to say "creepshow rage"), to angrily defend slavery. Gevalt.
106.05/ This video is absolutely extraordinary! A wonderful example of a cutting-edge art form.

Explanation here:
106.06/ [All] Star [Wars]? (Original is evidently from the Tonight Show)

106.07/ Before tonight's #SubwaySeries I want to reflect on the fun of last night:
From me


Incredible pick-off

Diaz the matador

When you win the city #LGM
106.08/ Apologies in advance #PunsAreAcceptableViolence
106.09/ True and very well put
109.10/ In truth, it absolutely is the question. Darned if I know.
109.11/ This is the first time I've heard of "MedBeds" and @oneunderscore__'s point is correct: just enough weak links in the public health chain will undermine it all and this is a bonkers weakness. Magical thinking at its most dangerous
106.12/ I may be wrong, but when the odds of winning are 1:303,000,000 but the payout of a one dollar bet is $1,000,000,000 then it may actually be rational to buy a ticket
106.13/ Thinking again about halakhic terms that would make the best metal band names, I've long been partial to "Go'el Ha-dam" which translates to "Blood Avenger" (from parshat #Masei)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goel#The_…
106.14/ In searching my posts to see if I've mentioned the Go'el Ha-Dam before, I came across some notes from yesteryear.

First a similar 'name' concept:

Then premonitions from 2018:

&
106.15/ I'm not celebrating this bill until it reaches Biden's desk, but this is really good news. Endorsed by VP Gore (just like the gun bill was endorsed by the actual experts as well)

and see
106.16/ This is so true!

The replies are filled with TLJ haters and it shows me how the casino plot reveals the #Literalist litmus test of seeing movies as vehicles for "plot" as opposed to studies in humanity & character. I need to do more on this.
106.17/ The #NineDays have commenced. Chodesh Tov but be careful everyone. Higher level of strict judgment in this time means be generous in how you treat others.
106.18/ I understand using the Shoah to teach about the sadness of the Churban, but it's missing the point. Because, soon, the distance of the Shoah will be long enough that it will be as difficult to imagine as the Churban is now.

See also last year:
106.19/ On that topic, here's a thread from last year about my #17thOfTammuz experience in England.
106.20/ Really good thread from a mutual @blind_scholar; re: accommodations.
106.21/ This is such a great story of activist judo. @0liviajulianna was mocked by the toxic patriarchal GOP & she turns it around to raise money for abortion rights.
106.22/ Bam! So on target.
106.23/ Monkeypox a serious disease; be careful out there.

But - and I'm not proud of this, I'm a caring & educated dude - I think I would be initially more worried about monkeypox if it didn't sound like a name made up by a random disease generator run by a 5 year old.
106.24/ To show I'm actually serious about #monkeypox, as a sociologist of health and just a normal person, see this thread and it's accompanying links:
106.25/ Placeholder for longer #DisabilityHalakha thread re the #9Days, but for those with depression and/or PTSD it's important to be careful during this time. There's a difference between practices & rituals that make us simulate sadness & actually forcing yourself to feel sad.
106.26/ #ChochmatNashim for parshiyot #MatotMasei thread:
106.27/ This feels like a trap #9Days
106.28/ The cruel & corrupt justices can now act with impunity and worse - they can laugh at their victims.
106.29/ Yeah, this is the stuff.
106.30/ This is ratings gold!
106.31/ Is 840 a lot? It seems like a lot.
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
106.32/ Free K-5 education.

(Flashback to 2000 or so when I tried to convince the Birthright people that their money was better spent on domestic education - free K-5 - than what they eventually did. Sigh)
106.33/ Get 'em Merrick!
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
106.34/ 100% my ideology as well.

And that's a good way to end the thread for the week leading into the first Shabbos of the #NineDays.

106.35/ It's rough out there so be kind, stay safe and have a great Shabbos. #ShabbatShalom

228.01/ Week two-hundred and twenty-eight, November 23-29, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 227 below.
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.
228.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Toldot #Toledot 5784 2023 (LAST YEAR). @ChochmatNashim.

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.

Week 225 below.
226.02/ Yup. Still here on Twitter. Gonna keep the fight and keep the faith. And also... no regrets. #HarrisWalz2024 Picture of 2 items: on the right is the volunteer badge my family wore when canvassing in PA. On the left is the door-knob flier we would put on unresponsive houses.
226.03/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. What movie? What else to start a new season, and in such a shockingly bad time? #Casablanca.

225.01/ Week two-hundred and twenty-five, November 2-8, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 224 below.
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.

Week 223 below.
224.02/ There's sticker shock and then there's "standing on the bathroom scale after 3 three-day yuntifs and 2 major fasts over 3 weeks" sticker shock.
224.03/ BTW, Trump (ym"sh) abd the MAGA-GOP going completely mask-off with racist nativism was very much on my BINGO card.

Week 222 below.
223.02/ Downside of "October is the Best Sports Month" - mixed blessing really - is that at 8pm tonight 3 of my teams will be on at the same time. NYMets facing elimination, #LIGHTITUPNYL in the last game of the finals, and the Steelers on SNF.
223.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vezot #SimchatTorah #SheminiAtzeret 2023-5784 (LAST YEAR). @ChochmatNashim
