110.01/ Week one-hundred and ten, August 20-26, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 109 below.
110.02/ Why do they call it a "T-Shirt Gun" and not a "laundry shoot"?
110.03/ The way it's raining so hard right now gives me an urge to gather together 2 of every treife animal.
110.04/ Reupping how much I like the word "quashal".
110.05/ Did the Mets insult a bog witch at some point 2 weeks ago? Weird injuries just popping up like eldritch curses...
110.06/ Cowher era #Steelers fans know that 51 is James Farrior's number and he was, as Kozora himself notes, one of the best free-agents to come to the team. 51 carries a great legacy; hope it brings good mazal to Myles Jack & us.

110.07/ At first, I thought the baked-beans hash-browns were a prank, like the gefilte-fish hot dogs. But, evidently not. If they are served simultaneously, it could open a portal to She'ol, so be careful.

110.08a/ I learned so much from this video about the climate actions in the IRA (h.t. @What46HasDone). This is what Biden can deliver (b/c he was a senator as long as humanly possible who then served as president of the Senate for 8 years as VP)
110.08b/ Biden-Harris has had so many successes in just a 18 months it's mind-blowing. Anti-lynching, Infrastructure, climate change, etc. If the Red part of the horseshoe wasn't as determined as the GOP to destroy the Democrats, they'd be happy. But they are, so they aren't.
110.10/ Agreed.

A silver lining of Damon making cryptomoola commercials is I can now just disregard anything he says about finance, economics and/or ethics.
110.11/ Keep the good news coming.

110.12/ The #NY19 news is reassuring that maybe we can keep the House. Keep it coming!
110.13/ Why call it an arranged marriage when you can call it a "shadchan wedding"?
110.14/ Any frum Jew who is upset about the *concept* of loan cancellation in the week of parshat Re'eh & in a honest-to-goodness SHEMITTA YEAR needs to go back to cheider.

Shemitta isn't there so you can bully farmers; the debt zapping is a cornerstone of halakhic ethics.
110.15/ Excellent context for that map going around
110.17/ #ChochmatNashim for #Reeh thread, up to 5782. These are shiurim about parshat ha-shavua by Orthodox women scholars.

110.18/ This is such a great answer. Love to see the fire!
110.19/ I'm glad to see the White House go on an overt war footing. Punches are not being pulled:

And this is precisely the answer I'd hope they go with, to retain the House. Highlight the crazies!
110.20/ This is an incredible thread by the White House

And it's because they hired the great NJ author to run their comms

Thank her here:
110.22/ It's a busy time; my son will be going off to Israel on Monday and it's an emotional erev-Shabbos. Like dropping him off in college but on a different order of magnitude.

Please stay safe and #ShabbatShalom!

199.01/ Week one-hundred and ninety-nine, May 4-10, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 198 below.
199.02/ FYI - I did some research and evidently the real 2015 ad this skit is parodying was about a father sending his kid to the US Army (i.e. the army was presented in the same gauzy way as college).

199.03/ This is great.

IMO the 2 best are (1) PIT-BAL b/c both teams are always good, the games always close, violent & have playoff implications. (2) NYG-PHI b/c no matter how good/bad either are the game can go either way & the fanbases HATE each other.

@ChochmatNashim 198.03/ The jig is up, the news is out, they finally found her... Mazal Tov and congratulations to my wife, Dr. Rebecca Cypess, on her new position as Dean of Stern College and Yeshiva College! BE"H her new position will allow her to help heal academia.

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:

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
