115.01/ Week one-hundred and fifteen, September 24-30, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 114 below.
115.02/ #ShavuaTov everyone & hello to the last day of 5782! I admit that I get a special thrill about skipping "Vayehi Noam" even though doing so implies my upcoming week has many days of isurei melakha. I love yuntif, honest I do, but I am a fan of writing & the internet, too.
115.04/ An experiment for quickly posting the #ChochmatNashim for #RoshHashanah 5783 (2022). Link below is to a PDF in a google drive that has the formatting organization and links to the Divrei Torah. Please let me know if it works.

115.05/ #ChagSameach everyone, have a great, sweet, healthy and peaceful #NewYear. #RoshHashanah Sameach!
115.06/ As self-appointed Sanegor during #Tishrei, I must find a defense for the dangerous Uman nonsense: Ukraine is at war & needs arms/money to defend against a genocidal attack. The Uman trip pours money into their economy, thus helping repel tyranny!

115.09/ Agreed. So often, it's the quintessential "this meeting could've been an email"
115.10/ Every time I turn around the Biden-Harris administration is doing something (1) unabashedly good & (2) kinda dumbfounding that it hasn't been done before.
115.11/ From Sept. 21, a great subtweet
115.12/ Excuse me, four MILLION a month? Four million?! a MONTH?!

1. That's a crazy amount of money
2. He's overpaying

115.13/ Was listening to "Oh Death" from the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack and realized the thematic similarity with U-Netaneh Tokef ("oh death, won't you spare me over for another year") and thus had the urge to watch that scene again. Enjoy!
115.14/ The Lizzo Flute Freakout - while similar to meltdowns over hobbits & mermaids - is as seismic to the bigots as Obama's election because it's about how they cannot accept Black people as part of American history despite the country being literally built by Black Americans.
115.16/ It's actually fun to be part of a good old fashioned "pennant race" like it's the 1950s. This is what it's all about!

And it would also be pretty nice to beat the [Racist Team Name with Fans That Have a Racist Chant I'm Not Kidding], ya know?
115.17/ My son just told me that the #Mets have a minor leaguer named Zebulon Vermillion @Zebatron3000 and I wish him success for our team, of course, but I also support his candidacy for greatest name in the current sporting world. #LGM
115.18/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayeilekh 5783. As with RH, I'm trying this different format: a PDF file with active links to all the shiurim. Please let me know if this works.
Links include: @ChochmatNashim @worldmizrachi, the usuals.

115.19/ Escobar being the hero in the last game, especially after the really rough time earlier in the season, is one of the great #Mets storylines of 2022. He deserves praise for his grit and #LGM!

115.20/ Good advice for academia, for all interviews, and I dare say all of life. In everyday interactions, one of the best gifts you can give to anyone is to just listen.
115.21/ The song #September is so good, I play it every day of the month at breakfast, just to start the family off right. I was asked to play it on other days and not save it for this month, so for now I'm adding every 21st. Maybe more, because c'mon now.
115.22/ Candle Lighting is 13 minutes earlier than last week. I know that's a natural process but still, yipe. Please stay safe everyone and #ShabbatShalom!

230.01/ Week two-hundred and thirty, December 7-13, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 229 below
230.02/ The Assad regime collapsing over Shabbas #Vayetze seems especially appropriate. I had long compared Lavan to Assad, the urbane facade hiding real cruelty and depravity. I celebrate the toppling of a murderous regime and the liberation of Saydnaya prison.
230.03/ Mets Twitter is having a party right now. This is fun. #LGM

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.

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.

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.

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.
