109.02/ Is there an award for putting an item in my Amazon cart, checking out "Customers who viewed this item also viewed", and seeing only things I've purchased over the past years? Some kind of "You are a singular oddball" award?

109.03/ Informative thread; this particular point is right out of halakha and the need for "hatra'ah" (warning) in order to establish mens rea.

109.07/ Yup. Also parallels Shlomo ha-Melekh's trajectory of Shir ha-Shirim then Mishlei then Kohelet.

https://twitter.com/leslie_bern/status/1442144910816075787

109.12/ Yup. Past 6+ years has been, for almost every department in the academy of arts & sciences, like watching a horror movie and yelling at the protagonist "don't go down into the basement!"

109.13/ Thought the same thing.

The frame to understand TFG's successes isn't b/c he's clever - it's b/c he's a feral animal in a psych-lab maze who's learned to mash the buttons that give treats as set up by a system designed to reward people like him.

109.15/ This is good sociological analysis and correlates with my own observations. Re: the MSM bias for the moneyed elite.

109.18/ The Atlanta Baseball Team with The Objectionable Name & Chant did take 3 out of 4 from the #Mets, and since their pitcher claiming - for the first time in decades - that NYM were (good) lucky, this thread brought me much mirth #LGM

https://twitter.com/Plumberstan18/status/1559220443189477377

109.19/ There's a line between creative/clever and creepy and the Cabbage Patch people just blew past it like Wile E. Coyote on rocket skates. What a thread.

109.20/ My nomination is "no learning on Tisha B'av" but if I needed to vote, I'd choose "amira l'akum" by @JosieBrendaA, but muktzah by @tamar_marvin is a close second.

109.21/ There's an odd spam-op that claims Biden doesn't slam Republicans. Here ya go, just sticking the knife in by 46:

109.25/ The majority of the frum world supports the party that encourages this type of stochastic terrorism. It's a chillul Hashem and Elul is coming.
