125.01/ Week one-hundred and twenty-five, December 3-9, 2022 thread begins here.

Week 124 below.
125.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. Tonight we saw "Samurai Jack: The Premiere Movie." Genndy Tartakovsky is such a great artist and storyteller.
m.imdb.com/title/tt417634…
125.03/ #ByeJake. I wish he could've stayed a Met, because every start of his was a pleasure to anticipate & enjoy. Bad seasons were endurable when he took the mound. At his best, he was the best baseball could be. Here's one of his finest moments. #LGM
125.04/ This is a good article about #TenTalUMatar and why we switch on December 4th by my friend Rabbi Aaron Ross @RabbiRoss.

chaburas.org/teintal.html
125.05/ I'd forgotten that I wrote this thread for Vayeitzei/Vayetze last year
125.06/ Since I'm making up for lost #Vayeitzei/#Veyetze time, here's my favorite Dovid Leider Dvar Torah of all. The "phylacteries" line is all-timer.
(I cut the first few jokes IYKYK & I also tried to add captions with no luck yet)
youtube.com/@DovidLeider
125.07/ I wrote this about the Phillies picking up Trea Turner and I wanna say I can watch that gif over and over. That insouciant athleticism is pure art.
As @nycsouthpaw said: "The absolute sauciest slide I have ever seen."
125.08/ That's good enough for me! Great great news. Warnock has been a great Senator and now we can get a lot more done with 51 than we could with 50. It can free VP Harris to leave DC more often and spread her magic, too.
125.09/ A little Pesach topic early enough in the calendar not to freak anyone out: a tribute to Slivovitz. Rumors that the plum brandy could be used for marror and/or biur chametz are exaggerated.
jta.org/2022/12/02/foo…
125.10/ Alert: Rabbi Dr. Slifkin @NatanSlifkin is changing websites. Just subscribed to keep up with all the Rationalist goodness: rationalistjudaism.substack.com/?r=2gykj&utm_m…
125.11/ That feeling when: you hear a cover of a song you like and actually hear the lyrics well-articulated... and now you need to deal with THAT new reality.
125.12/ Missed this Tuesday, oh no.
Definitely expedited my decision to be fully paid subscriber to @MisfitTorah's newsletter "Volozhin and Kropotkin" misfittorah.substack.com/?r=2gykj&utm_m…
125.13/ This is praxis.
125.14/ BTW, there's nothing like a major "liberal" institution like a newspaper (@NYTimesGuild) or a university (see below) being aggressively anti-Labor to show that their "liberalism" is more aesthetics than ethics.
apnews.com/article/busine…
125.15/ This is great news #GrinerFree
apnews.com/article/brittn…

and I agree with this:
125.16/ My son said they call the madrichim - on his program in Israel for the year - the "mods" and that's Torah U-Madda at work, baby.
125.17/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayishlach 5783. As a google drive link to a downloadable PDF with working links. @ChochmatNashim
drive.google.com/file/d/1OgqpWd…
125.18/ Context for the reference: Snake Plisskin is the hero of the movie "Escape from NY" & its sequel "Escape from LA". In the latter movie, many characters say "you may have escaped NY, you [may even] have escaped *Cleveland* but you won't escape LA"
125.19/ This is great.


(Note, the day later I got more emails nonetheless. It's like the old joke about the thirsty guy on the train)
125.20/ From earlier in the week.
125.21/ T*cker Carlson scares me the most because the party has shown themselves to flock after TV-stars. There's a precedent both good (see Lapid in Israel, Zelenskyy in Ukraine) and terrible (Boris Johnson)
125.22/ [Smile]
125.23/ Always love one of these
125.24/ OK, this is supposed to be a captions version of the #Vayetze Phylacteries Dvar Toira. I hope it worked.
125.25/ Stay safe everyone and #ShabbatShalom!

230.01/ Week two-hundred and thirty, December 7-13, 2024, thread begins here.

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

229.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with Argo (2012), the rare winner of a best picture Oscar that's also re-watchable.

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.

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.

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.
