117.01/ Week one-hundred and seventeen, October 8-14, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 116 below.
117.03/ I love this Lindor video on so many levels. First of all, it's cute. Second, more working dads taking care of kids!

Context:
117.04/ I've retold this joke to people a few times already. Whew. #LGM
117.05/ When I saw the Simpsons clip below recently with my son, I had to explain that it's a real song! It's bizarre without the context, and still funny, but when you KNOW the reality it's so much funnier.

Context:
117.06/ It's always when you least expect it.
117.07/ This is true (I could add so much). Bottom line: philanthropists of all levels are the decision makers and "leaders" more than any professional staff. Just the truth. Ask Kohelet.
117.08/ I quoted the concept of "there's no tomorrow" in the context of playoffs, causing consternation in the house, and explained I learned about it, like most of my early sports knowledge, from Peanuts.

(I added red numbers to the panels below) #LGM
gocomics.com/peanuts/2020/0… Peanuts cartoon. 3 Panels. ...3 Panels; I've numbered the...Continued from the previous...
117.10/ My physician brother is having tech problems & was advised to uninstall & reinstall. I worked in tech support once upon a time & this is what we say when we don't really know what's wrong. I suggested to him that "reinstall" is the equivalent to "lose weight" with doctors
117.11/ Walker's hypocrisy isn't a problem for the GOP b/c, like Tuberville, he's not supposed animate his own ideas in the senate. He's just supposed to vote the way they tell him. In fact, the craven lack of convictions helps! It's proof he'll follow orders for personal gain.
117.12/ Loony Tunes alert!
b98.tv/videos_categor…
A classic of Western literature: b98.tv/video/duck-amu…
Rabbit Season Trilogy:
b98.tv/video/rabbit-f…
b98.tv/video/rabbit-s…
b98.tv/video/duck-rab…
One of the best of all time
b98.tv/video/a-grueso…
117.12b/ A few more:
Everyone's agog of this one
b98.tv/video/whats-op…
But "Rabbit of Seville" is 10 times better
b98.tv/video/rabbit-s…

And this is the source of the below clip, which I quote often: "clean livin' prevailed"
b98.tv/video/bunny-li…
117.13/ Proud of my wife (Dr. Rebecca L. Cypess) for synthesizing ideas to create a new definition of Environmental Arts. Check it out!

117.14/ Trying to explain to non-Jews that Jewish holidays aren't vacations, they aren't really relaxing; it's a Holy-Day and that's a lot of work. They remind me of academic conferences - some fun with your friends but otherwise exhausting work.
117.15/ I've heard our enemies say Jews have space laser weather machines and we control media & banks but we also can't walk in a circle for hoshanahs without getting into a traffic jam. #Sukkot
117.16/ A #lulav does have a weapon feel - how many of us have cuts/pokes from the leaves? - so I have in my head a green-lightsaber lulav holder. Maybe a thermal-detonator shaped box for the #etrog?
117.17/ My father had a great insight on #Sukkot about how both Matzah & living in a Sukkah are a way of forcing economic equality over the festive days. Everyone, rich & poor, are made to eat poor bread & live in flimsy shacks while also commanded to give charity & hospitality.
117.19/ This is good news!

I mean, White Supremacy is so strong in the US that we have military bases named after men whose claim to fame was their success in murdering US soldiers (the job of a "Confederate" officer was to kill members of the US army).
117.20/ Scurrying around here before Shabbat Chol Ha-Moed #Sukkot, stay safe everyone and have a #MoedTov and #ShabbatShalom!

219.01/ Week two-hundred and nineteen, September 21-27, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 218 below (I misnumbered some last week; that's going to cause trouble).
219.02/ Absolutely! This is just science. #LGM
219b.03/ I'm labeling the posts in this week "219b" because I messed up last week and started numbering things 219 instead of 218 and I'll be darned if I pay Moosk for an edit button. Not sure if I'll remember to do this all week or recall what I was doing when I return to these.

219.03/ It's stuff like this that makes almost any wild idea about the capabilities of technology seem plausible. The good guys just did SOMETHING to make beepers remotely blow up. That's not something I could even imagine existing and yet here we are.

Week 216 below
217.02/ Due to a combination of having a maddening schedule over the past few weeks and having Twitter owned and run horribly by the Divorced Incel King, it's been very hard to write anything.

212.03/ This is an excellent, spot-on, thread. I've said a lot of this stuff for years.

211.01/ Week two-hundred and eleven, July 27-August 2, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 210 below.
211.02/ It would behoove this law prof. to learn about the Jewish law concept of "chazakah" - the legal presumption for what a person means/intends. So, um, Trump (ym'sh) fomented an armed insurrection. He wants to end Democracy.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chazakah
211.03/ Knowing full well that this is based on a purposeful hoax, I accept this nickname for Vance.
