107.01/ Week one-hundred and seven, July 30-Aug. 5, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 106 below.

107.02/ The absolute ghoulish glee I'm seeing people directing vitriol & dogpiling violence against @AnaMardoll is frightening. I see what you allow yourself to do to people you think are "acceptable" targets.

107.04/ Uh oh, I got into a TV-Tropes spiral over lunch. Send help.

cf. xkcd.com/609/

107.05/ Glad to see there's proof of life and I wish @AnaMardoll safety & a way to find health and peace after this unjust ordeal.

(Personally, I've learned many harsh lessons about who here would sell me out if I were ever in danger)

107.06/ The fun philo-duckites at @shouldhaveaduck illustrate why I too am a duck fan

As in 103.46 below: "Ducks of all trades, master of none."

107.07/ Vogelbach has become one of my favorite players on the Mets. Just a Kung Fu Panda dude who can launch one while looking like me 3 minutes before a fast-day. #LGM

107.08/ It doesn't feel like 20 years.

20 years is supposed to be a long time

and it is a long time

and yet it's not long enough.

107.09/ #TishaBAv download, for those who need: a #kinot book in Hebrew (with vowels) from 1896. Relatively clear text.
hebrewbooks.org/58261

107.10/ Been doing #TishaBAv prep, reading hundreds of divrei Torah, and I gotta tell ya: if your thesis is about baseless hatred (sinat chinam) and the discussion is about another group and not your own, you're missing the point.

107.11/ Seeing takes about parents upset kids will be "confused" if they learn about gender at school. Look, amateur, I'm a modern Orthodox parent sending my kids to a more right wing school. I don't wanna hear your whining until you've defused an unhinged midrash over dinner.

107.12/ #ChochmatNashim thread for #Devarim & #TishaBAv 5782; Torah by Orthodox Jewish women scholars:

107.13/ Before I seal off the thread this week, I'm revisiting my standalone RTs, as a sort of week in review. From Monday:

107.14/ From Tuesday: For four years I tried to avoid hearing TFG's voice; everything he said or did made me feel soiled. He is that disgusting and evil. Yet, in between two noble public servants, the contrast is important to see & hear:

107.15/ [From Tues.] It is so fun to watch DeGrom, and I will need to avoid his next start because it's on #TishaBAv (too much joy!). Then again, we always seem to forget how to play offense when he's on the mound... #LGM

https://twitter.com/JoshuaCypess/status/1554604094253309958

107.16/ [From Tues.] There's been so much actual good news this week it's a bit disconcerting (because it's the 9 Days).

My theory is that the Kansas win looks like it may reset the MSM's narrative for the next few months. I hope, at least.

107.17/ OK, so this was bad news about #VinScully. He may even have been a genuinely nice guy. Everyone seems to say so.

https://twitter.com/JoshuaCypess/status/1554674463207219201

107.18/ More from Tues., a follow-up about #VinScully

& a solid message from Biden.

107.19/ From Wed.: #Mets fans may remember Kelly Johnson & Juan Uribe. It helps that the body types seem to match Naquin/Ruf & Vogelbach. (And, for the deep cut, the original duo remind us of Manfredi & Johnson)

107.20/ It me.

107.21/ Again, good news. Weird feeling.

107.22/ Democrats in Array #DemocratsInArray

107.23/ This is a great insight.

107.24/ Shabbat #Chazon is always bittersweet. It's the time when all of history's tragedies, and the day for remembering all the sorrow, is on the horizon. But it's still Shabbos. So stay safe and have a #ShabbatShalom!
