119.03/ Remembering the Before Times, Nov 2019, when my wife and were on a business trip together to Vienna and, as is our wont, we went to an art museum where, unbeknownst to me, I was able to see one of my favorite paintings ever. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunsthist… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tower…
119.04/ I understand the M*sk purchase may actually happen?! (1) I hope I won't have to unblock him. (2) Is there a gemach where I can get a used social media site to use instead? (3) I feel like Og Melekh HaBashan b/c I've survived so many internet destructions & soldier on.
119.05/ Just worried the gabbai will mistakenly have leyning this morning just out of habit. (Tuesday Wednesday Rosh Chodesh feels like Chol Hamoed)
119.08/ The scariest threat so far is that M*sk claims he wants to run this place like his car company. Makes sense why the site is now so slow and buggy.
119.11/ It's so hard to get anything done online right now. I will have to post my missing material when things calm down. But be careful out there everyone. Stay safe and #ShabbatShalom
118.02/ Lotsa upsets in the #MLBPostseason & sore losers calling to change the new playoff format. Look, this is the key to win a championship in US sports: be good enough to get into the playoffs & then be as healthy as possible and "hot" when in them. That's the secret.
118.03/ Had old friends visit last night, both PhDs, and it was lovely but posed one the downsides of academic households: when I checked on the younger kids - 13, 13, 11 & 9 - they, no joke, asked me to moderate their discussion of the trolley problem. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_p…
116.02/ Another semi-she'hechiyanu today is the first day of "oatmeal and coffee for breakfast" season --which is distinct but overlapping with "soup season," and likely simultaneous with pumpkin-spice season, which I do not celebrate.
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.
