127.01/ Week one-hundred and twenty-seven, December 17-23, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 126 below.
127.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight pur on hold for a week because we're going to a lecture by Dean Rachel Friedman of Drisha.

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:
127.04/ My this is a fine soccer match. #WorldCup

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?
127.08/ One good thing about a fundraising brunch in the week of #Chanukah: Hot and cold running donuts! Coffee table with 3 big met...
127.09/ #HappyHanukkah to all! My windowsill with 5 lit me...
127.10/ Time to see the disgraced former Emperor's clothes.

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? From my weather app) Friday...Closeup of the partly sunny...
127.12/ #Chanukah Night 5

#HappyHanukkah all 4 lit menorahs in my window...
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.

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?)
127.16/ #NachasAlert: My son has a big piece in this week's #Miketz Torah Journal for his HS:

127.17/ Just found on archive.org @internetarchive:
Philip Birnbaum's HaSiddur HaShalem The Daily Prayer Book (1949) in image scan (no OCR)
archive.org/download/Phili…
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 ! Picture of the two treats. ...
127.20/ Have a great special Shabbos-Chanukah-Rosh Chodesh (we'll spend half the day in shul or benching).
Stay safe everyone and #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

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.
