113.01/ Week one-hundred and thirteen, September 10-16, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 112 (for fun typo reasons mislabeled) below.
113.02/ Yup
113.03/ Incredible.

[Alt-text: (1) the parody account "NYT Pitchbot" wrote a fictitious headline "Charles in Charge" and attributed it to Maureen D*owd on Sept. 8 (2) On Sept 10 D*wd wrote a column with that exact title.]

113.04/ Monty Python told us about the "the majestic m00se"
python.mzonline.com/holygrail/intr…
And they were right!
113.05/ OK, now I'm ready for the #NFL season. My chart is prepared and ready to be filled in. See below for what it looks like at the end of the season.
One piece of paper on a flu...
113.06/ This is a great word! Zugzwang

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zugzwang
113.07/ OMG, I didn't know this was a common experience! But the image on the right is 100% what every house in the suburbs looked like when I was a kid.

Reposting the image to add alt-text Left and right contrasting ...
113.08/ Excellent job all around.
113.09/ I'm glad we're all in agreement on this.
113.10/ Yup. Not even bragging, but that's the soft-cultural hegemony of the United States.

I say the same thing re: "the US doesn't support art." The Oscar, Emmy, Tony & Grammy awards are for art. It doesn't lose identity just b/c it makes a profit.
113.11/ Yet another data point for why I like Twitter: @carlbernstein & @JohnWDean are on it and commenting on our current crisis.

113.12/ And now that's how I'll think of him as well.
113.13/ Congrats to all the composers of space based thrillers because this sounds exactly like the sound effects they put in their movies. Black holes sound exactly like a howling chasm should sound like.
113.14/ This is exactly right.
113.15/ Still one of my favorite scenes in the Simpsons
113.16/ This is devastatingly true and I've quoted this multiple times since I read it. It explains a lot of NIMBYs and also the selfish libertarianism I see in ivory tower circles.
113.17/ TBH should've been both, but their choice reflects sympathy for the monarchy (which explains their inherent bias, and now active both-sidesing capitulation, to the GOP which is the party of monarchy)
113.18/ Recent events, as well as #Elul, remind me that there is no wisdom without compassion.
113.19/ It's #RobertoClementeDay who died the year I was born. I honor those who win the humanitarian award but I feel the "most prestigious award" rhetoric (see also NFL's Walter Payton) is trying too hard. Reminds me of how we describe hagbah.
113.20/ @CocaCola Update on the deterioration of #CokeZeroSugar. Not only does it taste so much worse than before, every soda product of the company increased its carbonation & I get sick after drinking 'em - but not other sodas! Rotten job all around guys
113.21/ My new serenity prayer: give me strength & wisdom to distinguish between bad things that happen on purpose from individuals, those on purpose from entrenched structure, those from the frailties of everyone's psychology/sociology vs. the huge number that are just accidents
113.22/ 2 points about #TNF (1) I'm so glad I'm not a Chargers fan. They get franchise QBs - HoFers like Fouts & Brees and gems like Rivers & Herbert - and just explode before the finish line.
(2) This kind of tackle should count as a safety. Whoa.
113.23/ Every highly educated person should and will know that there's a very lucrative path available for anyone who can dress up horrible ideas, actions, impulses and ethics with reasonable & decorous language. Our challenge is to persistently resist this Faustian bargain.
113.23b/ The above isn't about my life, at least recently (heh), but inspired by the drumbeat of terrible actions by powerful degenerates - FL Gov., FL judges - and how their highly educated defenders are both predictable and reprehensible.
113.24/ Thread with links to shiurim by Orthodox women scholars on the parsha over the years & other notable articles for this week. What I've labeled #ChochmatNashim after the org @ChochmatNashim. #KiTavo

113.25/ My house's backyard abuts the HS playing field and while I'm grilling food to prepare for Shabbas I hear the football and cheerleading teams practice simultaneously and I think I've just gone through as pure an American experience that can exist.
113.26/ It was a rhetorical quirk I've noticed gain steam that was inevitably going to crash into this reality. (And, please, never say that to me if you can avoid it.)
113.27a/ I've been sick all week and when I finally got out from under it, all my work has crammed into one and half days. I haven't been able to write as much as I needed on here, especially about the NYT expose on the Chassidic schools.
113.27b/ I'm a professional colleague with @nmoster so the revelations in the NYT aren't new and in general their forensic/investigative reporting is top of the line. As such, their findings are extremely credible. BE"H I will try to comment on this soon. It's an #Elul topic.
113.28/ Have a great Shabbas everyone. #Slichot start for Ashkenazim, so davening won't be normal for a long while. Get yourself right & everyone else will follow, please God.

Stay safe and #ShabbatShalom

210.01/ Week two-hundred and ten, July 20-26, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 209 below.
210.02/ 1. Thank you Pres. Biden for your incredible job as president. I'm sorry you're not running again

2. I support VP Harris with all my might to be president in 2024. And I hope all freedom loving Americans will do the same.
210.03/ I had too many sleepless nights over the last three weeks because of the drumbeat against Biden b/c there was too much smoke for there not to be fire. What kept me steady was my trust of his judgement. So if he thinks this is wise, then I logically have to support it.

209.01/ Week two-hundred and nine, July 13-19, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 208 below.
209.02/ Following the assassination attempt on TFG yesterday - an act I condemn; ballots not bullets - the reaction by news agencies has been unhinged. But I'm singling out The Daily Beast and Politico who are lionizing TFG using very disturbing rhetoric. I've had to unfollow.
209.03/ I'm furious that so many in Congress are playing this dangerous game but I'm reminding myself that (1) the MSM has been fabricating stories & amplifying mythological pro-GOP nonsense for a while now & (2) I trust Biden's abilities to handle this like he did NATO.

208.01/ Week two-hundred and eight, July 6-12, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 207 below.
208.02/ Demographically, I should be part of the "elite" but the past two weeks showed me that I'm a solid true-blue member of the Democratic "base" because I'm standing by Biden-Harris & have a white-hot rage against the media (& the cowards in my party) trying to take us down.
208.03/ People ask "Why haven't the media learned their lesson from 'But Her Emails?' in 2016"?! But the answer is QED - they did learn their lesson: that with relentless bad-faith attacks they can knock out the Democrat & elect a cash-cow tabloid buffoon. They know & want this.

207.01/ Week two-hundred and seven, June 29-July 5, 2024 begins here.

Week 206 below.
207.02/ I didn't see the debate because I can't stand listening to Trump (ym'sh). The bizarre meltdown by the MSM calling for Biden to drop out is not only disgusting but reignited the normie-Democrats' blazing anger at the MSM goofs that brought us "But Her Emails" in 2016.
207.03/ Ironically, the drumbeat from the MSM about Biden's age for months - probably starting right after the withdrawal from Afghanistan which ruined their gravy train - prepared the public for how he sounded at the debate. The MSM hit-job backfired.

206.02/ Bowman lost AND the Mets beat the Yankees on the same day? Thank you The Bronx for a fun time! #LGM #BringThemHome.
206.03/ May her memory be for a blessing. Gave tzedakah in her name and will dedicate my learning today as well. Offering as much comfort as possible.

205.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Behaalotecha 5783 (last year) @ChochmatNashim
