122.01/ Week one-hundred and twenty two, November 12-18, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 121 below.

Hey, Twitter is still here. Nice to know.
122.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight re-commences!
Some of last year's entries:



https://t.co/ssKLws4OQs

122.03/ The first #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight of 5783 is the classic grim crime thriller "Batman"... actually, sorry, it's the camp classic "Batman (1966)". Why? Because it's referenced so often by later comedies & it's part of their education, of course.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(1…
122.04/ Democrats keep the Senate! Thank God
nytimes.com/2022/11/12/us/…
122.05/ The radical improvement in quality of the NFL Fox booth in one year is refreshing. @kevinburkhardt - a graduate of #Mets on @sny - is a great play-by-play guy & Greg Olson is really good color. The awful Joe Buck is now on MNF & I can avoid him by watching the Manningcast
122.06/ The replies to this post are a good send-off of this site :

And this is a good description about why we're doing this

(IMO, the pandemic and the #TrumpCrisis made Twitter extra important for people to feel not so isolated)
122.07/ In these twilight days of The Bird Site, I want to repost (now with captions!) this clip from "Top Secret!" in honor of my daughter applying to high schools. Behold, what most of think about when we recall our HS days...
122.08/ Yeah, the canaries have been exploding left & right, but IMO killing two-factor authentication is more than a warning sign, it actively starts the countdown for implosion. Sorry to see the place go; it's been one of the best things on the internet
122.09/ Oh man, I spoke too soon about my ability to avoid Joe Buck on MNF via the Manning Brothers: they're off tonight! (as I found out when ESPN 2 is showing "World Chase Tag," I kid you not.)
cbssports.com/nfl/news/manni…
122.10/ I largely missed the latest bigoted tirade by Ch*pelle - mainly I've written him off because of his homophobia and TERFdom & shame on SNL for having him host! - but it should be expected that he's happy to be the face of hate. That's who he *is*.
npr.org/2022/11/13/113…
122.11/ In some ways, this is a fitting coda for the entire app. Beautiful yet terrifying.
122.12/ Have to say I was skeptical when I saw it going around. Good to know this particular atrocity isn't happening.
122.13/ Have to commend the headline writer of the Post here:
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/… [Main head] Trump, who as p...
122.14/ Something I've been doing over the past 20 years, but have accelerated in the past few, is preserving parts of the web as PDFs as much as possible. Too many things I care about are no longer online but I have them as 'hard' copies. Recent events are proving my fears right
122.14b/ What this means for Twitter is that I've been saving my favorite authors' threads via @threadreaderapp for 2.5 years. At least 41 gigs & 36,582 files of threads and posts. I've learned the hard way that this is a needed precaution.
122.15/ CW: school shootings.

Just in case you missed it: the "kitty litter" in schools isn't because of SJW allowing kids to identify as animals; it happened once as an emergency measure during a gun-lockdown.

This is yet another GOP DARVO/pizzagate.
122.16/ This makes me smile
122.17/ Excellent word (and excellent sub-tweeting)
122.18/ Welp. Guess the countdown clock started ticking even louder. I was thinking of giving a link to my old blog but I'm not so happy about things I wrote a decade plus ago, so I don't really have another place to go. Nothing seems to fit.
122.19/ This is a great thread about Pelosi's impressive leadership. She was one of the best Speakers of the House in our history. Thank you Madam Speaker
122.20/ Aw yeah!
122.21/ The smaller the GOP majority, the less chance there is of it lasting 2 years. They give off "M*sk Running Twitter" vibes (i.e. maliciously incompetent)
122.22/ This makes sense to me.

I'm just too busy, and too old, to try to recreate everything on this site somewhere else. I'm just going to ride the side of the hull of this website like Og on the Ark.
122.23/ Some farewells I appreciate:







122.24/ Not sure if I ever posted a @dril post. I should, while this ol' website is palpably struggling to still work, right?
122.25/ In thinking about how M*sk, for no good reason & single handedly, has brought Twitter to the brink of destruction, I'm reminded of the line by Elton John & Bernie Taupin: "It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_Gar…
122.26/ Proud to post my wife's newest published article, it's open-source so free to download. It's about Ignatius Sancho (1729–1780) a Black British composer,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignatius_…
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…
122.27/ There is a meritocracy but only if "merit" means something entirely different from how it's normally defined. Much like "fittest" in "survival of the" the system itself defines those terms (merit/fit) only after the fact. It's a deductive tool & should be anti-ideological
122.27b/ Unsurprising that such an utter numpty like M*sk would think he's the "fittest" and go full-bore Epst*in on trying to populate the world with his DNA. Hard to understate the size of the red flag this ideology reveals.
122.27c/ Woops. Should have called him an "absolute numpty" (considering that's a British insult).
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/numpty
Gotta love British insults. But choose your noun carefully b/c "an absolute affordable family vacation" is just an odd thing to say.
122.28/ One reason why This Place is so valuable is that's it has created communities for the disempowered & marginalized. I'm a member of a few of those groups & we indulge in gallows humor to endure. That's the great vibe of the past 24 hrs On Here: just non-stop dark jokes.
122.29/ This is all we need: mind games at the end of the road.

122.30/ #ChochmatNashim for #ChayeiSarah 5783. PDF to view and/or download here:

@ChochmatNashim
122.31/ Shabbas is soon. May the website last as long as possible, for all our sakes. Stay safe everyone & #ShabbatShalom!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
