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!

219.01/ Week two-hundred and nineteen, September 21-27, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 218 below (I misnumbered some last week; that's going to cause trouble).
219.02/ Absolutely! This is just science. #LGM
219b.03/ I'm labeling the posts in this week "219b" because I messed up last week and started numbering things 219 instead of 218 and I'll be darned if I pay Moosk for an edit button. Not sure if I'll remember to do this all week or recall what I was doing when I return to these.

219.03/ It's stuff like this that makes almost any wild idea about the capabilities of technology seem plausible. The good guys just did SOMETHING to make beepers remotely blow up. That's not something I could even imagine existing and yet here we are.

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.

Week 212 below.
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.

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.

211.03/ Knowing full well that this is based on a purposeful hoax, I accept this nickname for Vance.
