127.03/ Watching the #WorldCup - because the championship game in any sport is worth watching - and choosing to support ARG because I have cousins there. Whenever I see a header I think of this C&H:
The games are usually not this exciting and that was an incredible 3rd goal by ARG. But this isn't sudden death (like hockey) so on we go for untold minutes.
127.05/ And Mbappe ties it up. Absolutely the best soccer game I've seen in memory #WorldCup
127.06/ 18 minutes until Fox has to choose to bounce the #WorldCup to show the Cowboys vs. Jacksonville. Football or Fútbol?
127.11/ OK, let's go check the ol' weather app to see what it will be like tomorrow. OK, high of 52 and a low of... NINE?! What the heck? And what kind of symbol is that with a sun behind a lightning thundercloud? Thor's Revenge?
127.13/ Here's an idea - for the #NYR - hitting the post should be like a frozen yogurt punch card: hit 8 posts and get a free goal. Whattaya think?
127.14/ #NachasAlert: My kids' school won 1st & 5th place (out of 40 or something) in our local robotics competition! And my family has been big supporters of the whole STEM program, so it's extra sweet. jewishlink.news/community-news…
127.15/ Just saw a kindergartner going to school wearing a bee costume and I really, really hope it's because she's dressed as a Macca-Bee.
127.15b/ Seeing "Macca-Bee" in the above post and now wanting, nay - demanding, Guillermo Del Toro make a movie about the Mecha-Bee rebellion against Antiochus IV (who'll be a Kaiju? Why not?)
127.18/ I've been saving a treat since my trip to Israel for this coming Shabbas-Chanukah-Rosh Chodesh: kosher (real) Cheetos & Doritos. I say "real" because there are many imitators around, but these taste so much better I need to assume authenticity. #HappyHanukkah !

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.
#DieHardIsAChanukahMovie
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
229.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayetze #Vayetzei #Vayeitzei 5784 2023 (LAST YEAR). @ChochmatNashim.

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.
