126.01/ Week one-hundred and twenty-six, December 10-16, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 125 below.
126.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with Superman (1978) the trend-setter for all modern superhero movies. Also IMO has the best theme music and I *love* movie/TV themes. Brilliant art direction, amazing cast.

126.03/ Reference for NFL euphemisms: (1) "[player showing some] discomfort" = he's injured and in pain, (2) "[player is] shaken up" = he's so injured that he can't get up, (3) "[player is] down" = an injury that would prompt a normal person to call 911.
124.04/ My brother, @acypess MD PhD, sent me this and validates the veracity. This is good news.
126.05/ Given the active sabotage by the app's weak, brittle owner - punctuated by the elimination of Trust & Safety and tonight's banning of journalists - I'm backing up my account to here: @JoshuaCypess@mstdn.party

I hope this app does survive; it's valuable to me. But yipe.
126.05b/ Re: why I feel a need to make a posting backup. For longer form pieces, I will need to reignite my blogs. Here's one for now: reshetkeshet.blogspot.com

The mass-banning is a pathetic move by El*n. What a petulant and weak person.
126.09/ Stay safe everybody & #ShabbatShalom!

Week 232 below. #HappyChanukah!
233.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with a favorite - The Martian (2015) - that combined two of my other favorites: Cast Away (2000) & Apollo 13 (1995). Yes, I'm surprised Tom Hanks wasn't in this one.

233.03/ @ppppp1245688 is correct, and I just realized that it's the modern-secular equivalent of a Yissachar-Zevulun arrangement!

Week 231 below. Yes, it's super late, but this app is sputtering.
232.02/ Shiva minyans during #Chanukah are surreal. That is all.
232.03/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight was actually on Nitel-nacht (after we learned Torah, like good little Litvaks). And what else? Yippe-kai-yay, Maccabee.

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 228 below.
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.
