120.01/ Week one-hundred and twenty, October 29-November 4, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 119 below.
120.02/ Sports is fun. Go, school!
120.03/ Spot on. I used to get a DD kosher egg-white, fakin'-bacon & cheese on a bagel as a Sunday treat and I so wanted it to be good... but my dreams were dashed on this reality:
120.04/ Barukh Dayan ha-Emet
120.05/ Just handed out candy to a throng of about 20 costumed kids, back to 2019 levels. Halakhically, IMO this falls under the categ. of hachnasat orchim (hospitality). I'm wearing the closet thing to a scary costume (if you're a DB): a @mvp86hinesward jersey. #HappyHalloween
120.06/ #Halloween update: even more kids than expected, it's really really nice to see after 3 years of pandemic. Just now there was a very cute 3-4 year old dressed as Captain America.

Other update: added a @Princeton hat to my "costume" because, hey, it's the right colors.
120.07/ Latest two kids to come to the door were little girls, one of whom was so proud of her costume she introduced herself as "I'm a fairy godmother!" It's really nice to see all these kids out.
#Halloween

(Supplies are steady; 5782 shalach-manot Hersey kisses)
120.08/ Thread for #ChochmatNashim for last week's parsha, Noach. There's so much here and I'm hoping I can keep this pace up.
120.09/ I was checking out one of my wife's shoes she hadn't worn in a while, but was near my office, to see what size I should order her for a gift and there was a spiderweb inside... with a live spider. #AMA
120.10/ "A poor craftsman blames his tools... unless you're a good craftsman and you know the tools are bad, because that's actually part of your job, and there's no way for an outsider to tell using the 'blame' test so really this is a dumb aphorism devised by cranks"
120.11/ For the #Israelex22 - as I've done for the past, what, half dozen? Israeli elections - I recommend reading the @IsraelexLive account.
120.12/ Fifth homer in #WorldSeries2022 game 3. Would be hilarious if there were trash cans involved.
120.13/ To be clear, the Fox *booth* was speculating that the Houston pitcher was somehow tipping his pitches and the Phillies were knowing what was coming legally. But it's a #WorldSeries record, 5 HR in 5 innings.
120.14/ Welp, I spoke too soon: @IsraelexLive is closing his account. I thank him for all his work over the past few eons.

He recommends this resource instead:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
#Israelex22
120.15/ Despite the CW thinking game 3s are the best, I've said for years that game 4s are the best (in a 7 game series). In game four, usu. the teams are 2-1/1-2 so it becomes the tipping point to either 3-1 or 2-2. OTOH it can be a 3-0 clinching game.
120.16/ For Sefer #Bereishit enthusiasts, here's my wide-ranging article that spans #LechLecha to the very end: "Agents of Mystery and the Mission of the Patriarchs" (Alei Etzion 5, 1996)
academia.edu/33159041/Agent…
or the original:
gush.net/alei/5-6myst.r…
120.17/ I'm currently at my birthday present event, my family and I are here to enjoy @natebargatze live! At NJPAC theater. Picture o...
120.18/ The Astros haven't been punished enough for their cheating ways. I think they should be forced to wear the uniforms they had in the 80s. From Google images, 6 thumb...
120.19/ Astros fans came a-callin' when I spoke about the 80s uniform.

Comments





My Q: If they do switch back, do they rejoin the NL?
120.20/ Thank God!


(And I love the term "mitigated" in "mitigated the threat" because it can mean anything from "gave the guy a hoagie and he calmed down" to "dropped a grenade in his undershorts.")
120.21/ [Looks in Chumash] Yup. Checks out.
120.22/ This thread & follow-up are great, learned a lot. [my social science intuition agrees with the framework]. "Trust Thermocline" is a very useful term.

120.23/ Not pulling punches. Good to see.
120.24/ This is the absolute truth. As someone else put it: the Democrats don't have a messaging problem they have a platforming problem.
120.25/ This is both terrible for democracy and also forbidden according to Jewish Law (which means it's against Jewish ethics). As I said when I first read this: "gevalt!"
120.26/ Rushing before Shabbat so the #ChochmatNashim thread for #LechLecha 5783 will just be the google doc link. For now. @ChochmatNashim and others in here:
drive.google.com/file/d/1yTr--I…
120.27/ We're changing the clocks tomorrow night, but I feel the crunch of early Shabbas already. Stay safe everyone, it's a madhouse out there, and #ShabbatShalom

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.
228.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Toldot #Toledot 5784 2023 (LAST YEAR). @ChochmatNashim.

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.

Week 225 below.
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.

225.01/ Week two-hundred and twenty-five, November 2-8, 2024, thread begins here.

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.

224.01/ Week two-hundred and twenty-four, October 26-November 1, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 223 below.
224.02/ There's sticker shock and then there's "standing on the bathroom scale after 3 three-day yuntifs and 2 major fasts over 3 weeks" sticker shock.
224.03/ BTW, Trump (ym"sh) abd the MAGA-GOP going completely mask-off with racist nativism was very much on my BINGO card.

Week 222 below.
223.02/ Downside of "October is the Best Sports Month" - mixed blessing really - is that at 8pm tonight 3 of my teams will be on at the same time. NYMets facing elimination, #LIGHTITUPNYL in the last game of the finals, and the Steelers on SNF.
223.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vezot #SimchatTorah #SheminiAtzeret 2023-5784 (LAST YEAR). @ChochmatNashim
