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

Week 116 below.
117.02/ This is so accurate
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...
117.09/ LOL. I've seen this in action
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!
masongross.rutgers.edu/about-us/resea…
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.
117.18/ O Rly?
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!

234.01/ Week two-hundred and thirty-four, January 4-10, 2025, thread begins here.

Week 233 below.
234.02/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayechi 5784 (LAST YEAR) @ChochmatNashim.

233.01/ Week two-hundred and thirty-three, December 28, 2024-January 3, 2025, thread begins here.

Week 232 below. #HappyChanukah!
233.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with a favorite - The Martian (2015) - that combined two of my other favorites: Cast Away (2000) & Apollo 13 (1995). Yes, I'm surprised Tom Hanks wasn't in this one.

233.03/ @ppppp1245688 is correct, and I just realized that it's the modern-secular equivalent of a Yissachar-Zevulun arrangement!

232.01/ Week two-hundred and thirty-two, December 21-27, 2024 thread begins here.

Week 231 below. Yes, it's super late, but this app is sputtering.
232.02/ Shiva minyans during #Chanukah are surreal. That is all.
232.03/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight was actually on Nitel-nacht (after we learned Torah, like good little Litvaks). And what else? Yippe-kai-yay, Maccabee.

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 228 below.
229.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with Argo (2012), the rare winner of a best picture Oscar that's also re-watchable.

228.01/ Week two-hundred and twenty-eight, November 23-29, 2024, thread begins here.

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.
