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

217.01/ Week two-hundred and seventeen, September 7-13, 2024, thread begins here.

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.

213.02/ Henceforth, I am calling the Times "USA Today for Rich People" and when asked why, I will cite @wychstreet and this decision.

213.03/ Resending this #ChochmatNashim for #TishaBeAv (and #Devarim) for this year.

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

[I'm a life-long Democrat born in Pittsburgh & raised in small towns (Binghamton), rural areas (Ithaca), and the South (Memphis). Walz is a familiar archetype to me.]

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.

210.01/ Week two-hundred and ten, July 20-26, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 209 below.
210.02/ 1. Thank you Pres. Biden for your incredible job as president. I'm sorry you're not running again

2. I support VP Harris with all my might to be president in 2024. And I hope all freedom loving Americans will do the same.
210.03/ I had too many sleepless nights over the last three weeks because of the drumbeat against Biden b/c there was too much smoke for there not to be fire. What kept me steady was my trust of his judgement. So if he thinks this is wise, then I logically have to support it.

209.01/ Week two-hundred and nine, July 13-19, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 208 below.
209.02/ Following the assassination attempt on TFG yesterday - an act I condemn; ballots not bullets - the reaction by news agencies has been unhinged. But I'm singling out The Daily Beast and Politico who are lionizing TFG using very disturbing rhetoric. I've had to unfollow.
209.03/ I'm furious that so many in Congress are playing this dangerous game but I'm reminding myself that (1) the MSM has been fabricating stories & amplifying mythological pro-GOP nonsense for a while now & (2) I trust Biden's abilities to handle this like he did NATO.
