121.01/ Week one-hundred and twenty one, November 5-11, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 120 below. Who knows how long I'll get to keep doing this, sigh.
121.02/ Good metaphor.

However, to me, it feels like 2012 during Hurricane Sandy, waiting for the power to go out.

121.03/ This is what I mean. There's a completely preventable, maliciously negligent, technology collapse coming soon.
121.04/ M*sk turning blue-checks into NFTs is the most accurate encapsulation of his broken ideology/psychology I could have devised. Perfect, no notes.
121.05/ Blue-checks made this place reliable, informative, and important. Dumping them for ephemeral status symbols undermines the purpose of Twitter!

I'm on here to learn from people, while M*usk & his klan are here to claw out acclaim or torment people they envy.
121.06/ Yup, this is it.
121.07/ I identify with this description, and it's actually what keeps me on this site.
121.08/ Little known fact about me: my favorite grammatical tense in Hebrew is the hufal. In English it's the pluperfect.

Not because of grammar at all - I have no idea what those terms denote - but I just think those two words are funny.
121.09/ I hate having the US go through 1862 again. This midterm election has that "mid-Civil-War" tenor, but if we still allowed the South to vote and "legally" continue their armed insurrection.
121.10/ I want to thank all those who worked hard to give the Democrats a fighting chance this election day. Please God, we may be able to pull it off: keep the house, expand the Senate, maybe even pick up some Governors. Pay the brutes back for Dobbs & other assaults on liberty.
121.11/ I'm a news-junkie so today's the type of day that will roast my emotions over a slow fire if I keep my standard habits. There's a guaranteed #RedMirage tonight. I need to keep repeating that, remember '18/20, and avoid MSM news until an all-clear from @tbonier & @SimonWDC
121.12/ Speaking of @SimonWDC, this thread and especially this post are crucial:
121.13/ Other reminders:



#RedMirage
#VoteBlueToday
121.14/ One reason I write these threads is to have a type of diary so I can see what I was thinking & experiencing over these years of #TrumpCrisis. Election night 2020 was just a culmination of a terrifying year filled with a drumbeat of calamity and catastrophe.
121.15/ Per my brother @acypess: "These election nights feel kinda like Avraham wondering what will happen to Sedom the next morning"

Perfect metaphor
121.16/ Alert! There's something that the Satmar Rebbe and I agree about. Alert! This is not a drill!
121.17/ This is all you need to know about how well the Democrats did last night - and how badly the RedHats crashed & burned

121.18/ It stinks that @staceyabrams lost the governor's race. Now's the time to get her in the Biden-Harris cabinet, if she so desires. Get her a national profile; she deserves it after 2020 alone.
121.19/ This is an underrated point. It's hard to see the absence of consequence, of prevention of problems. (I've heard the same about Beto and Abrams: they've made machines in their states. And one look at FL will show you how crucial that is!)
121.20/ A good letter to the editor by a local academic and rebbetzin, Prof. Rebecca L. Cypess. It's in response to some of the anti-immigrant (pro-Sedom?) rhetoric in our local Jewish paper:
jewishlink.news/letters/54765-…
121.21/ You better believe it, baby! We've got the facts, the ethics, and the combination of hearts & smarts. Plus we're actually what's best for society.
121.22/ When I heard M*sk was going to buy Twitter, I thought it would become a treacherous battleground of trolls and bots. I honestly didn't expect that he'd be so clownishly incompetent that he'd actually destroy the site. This is too important a site to lose, it's just tragic
121.23/ [Me, going page to page, frantically saving each of my favorite Twitter posters to archive.org] "There's got to be a better way!" [Continues saving]
121.24/ #NachasAlert: both my daughter and son were anchors of the Torah Bowl teams. It's so much fun to see them quizzing each other all week, the older one - with years of experience - coaching the younger.
121.25/ Meanwhile, in the Shire:
121.26/ Since this app may implode into a myriad pixels soon, I can use the end-times to admit something about me and this week's parsha #Vayera: I've never read Sören Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling." I've been faking it the whole time to burnish my Torah U-Madda cred.
121.27/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayera 5783. @ChochmatNashim

Just the google doc link:
drive.google.com/file/d/1kSqjkp…
121.28/ Honestly, this is a great answer.
121.29/ Some good news before Shabbas.
121.30/ Yes! The Fetterman campaign's online communications was top notch.
121.31/ The Big Lug candidate. Nothing a Steeler fan likes more than a guy who could also play left tackle in a pinch.
121.32/ (From election night)

I knew it.

121.33/ (Also from election night). This echoes what I heard from a lot of people and I basically took the advice.
121.34/ I do not condone political violence. So I must assume Cruz asked for the beer and forgot that he asked to catch it with his face. An honest misunderstanding.
121.35/ This does give me some hope for the future of the Republic.
121.36/ Love it.

And this is the scene to have in mind
121.37/ This is actually true about "Frankenstein" and Mary Shelly. (And, of course, M*sk)
121.38/ So many good encomia for Twitter, like the thread below.

Man, I really hope the site doesn't die. C'mon.
121.39/ Early Shabbas, baby. Gotta go. I really hope this website stays functional for the duration. Stay safe everyone and #ShabbatShalom

207.01/ Week two-hundred and seven, June 29-July 5, 2024 begins here.

Week 206 below.
207.02/ I didn't see the debate because I can't stand listening to Trump (ym'sh). The bizarre meltdown by the MSM calling for Biden to drop out is not only disgusting but reignited the normie-Democrats' blazing anger at the MSM goofs that brought us "But Her Emails" in 2016.
207.03/ Ironically, the drumbeat from the MSM about Biden's age for months - probably starting right after the withdrawal from Afghanistan which ruined their gravy train - prepared the public for how he sounded at the debate. The MSM hit-job backfired.

206.02/ Bowman lost AND the Mets beat the Yankees on the same day? Thank you The Bronx for a fun time! #LGM #BringThemHome.
206.03/ May her memory be for a blessing. Gave tzedakah in her name and will dedicate my learning today as well. Offering as much comfort as possible.

Week 201 below.

#LagBeOmer Sameach!
202.02/ The internet is disappearing; I knew this in my bones & now there's data to support it. (h.t. @ParkerMolloy)

I encourage everyone to save pages to the @internetarchive as much as possible. An extension you can add to your browser to make it easy
pewresearch.org/data-labs/2024…
202.03/ As a lifelong #Mets fan, I've experienced extended periods of the team being demoralizing and unwatchable. This is why I told my kids at the time that the DeGrom years were special: every 5 days there'd be a transcendent sports experience & those are rare.
