128.01/ Week one-hundred and twenty-eight, December 24-30, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 127 below.
128.02/ Fun way to start a week, with a Scorigami!
128.03/ 7th night: #ChodeshTov and #HappyHanukkah My windowsill with 4 menora...
128.04/ @JewWhoHasItAll is such a good account.
128.05/ Walking to shul last night was a special trip because it's the one night when everyone lights at the same time. Walking down the block and seeing all the Chanukiyot in so many windows was a rare, special and lovely sight. #HappyChanukah everyone
128.06/ Learning extra Torah this night (I'm a Litvak, that's what we do; we even have workarounds for Tisha B'Av) in memory and the merit of all those killed on #NitelNacht over the centuries. Especially when it's on #Chanukah, Torah can't be taken from us for any reason.
128.07/ 666 Followers? What is M*sk trying to tell me? Screenshot of my profile pa...
128.08/ Have to put #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight on hold for another week: a simcha for some friends to go to for part of the family. Aw shucks, I guess I'll need to watch the 50th Anniversary of the #ImmaculateReception. #HereWeGo
128.09/ Wait, this #Steelers game is a rerun! I've seen this game 8 times this year already! Screenshot of the gamecast ...
128.10/ Translating NFL into halakhic terms, when a call is reviewed, if it's "confirmed" that means it's lichatchila but if it the "call stands" that means it's "bidieved"
128.11/ That #Steelers win is all on Franco. Rest in Peace, big man.

#HereWeGo
128.12/ New @rayadverb (Dave Barry) year in review has dropped. Gift article.

128.13/ Tools for my nerdy crew for the #NFLPlayoffs:
The best tool for plain scenarios is @NFLScenarios

128.13b/ I just discovered my thread got split along the way. So, it continues here and I'll need to find a way to make it one thread. Shazbot.
128.14 v2/


128.15 v2/
128.16 v2/
128.17 v2/
128.18/ I'm not claiming anything but I got 2 candles still burning 6 hours later and that's how I like my #Chanukah lighting to leave the stage, with a stubborn thematic encore. Same location as pictured i...
128.19/ The playlist this week of #Chanukah has been the two standards:


Also anything with "fire" or "light" (just to keep the tunes spinning). So "Fire" by The Ohio Players, "Fire" by Hendrix, even "Smoke on the Water" (why not?)
128.20/ This thread is very persuasive for why #diehardisachristmasmovie & I like joining in on the debate as an act of comedic resistance, but sadly I have a personally compelling counterproof: I enjoy Die Hard. I viscerally cannot watch a real Xmas film.
128.21/ I need a sequel to the Beatles song "No Reply" from the woman's perspective. It'd be titled "Get The Hint" or "I Have (A Stalker)"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Reply_…
128.22/ Awright @LlamaInaTux's year in review dropped. This was a great, nostalgic read last year. Finding myself saying "that was this year?" or "Oh right, that" etc. over and over.
128.23/ This is my favorite time of the secular year, Dec. 26-Jan 1. There's an atmosphere of taking things easy, as if the entire country agrees that for this week we're on low-key vacation. Add on the retrospectives (see above) and my own nostalgia for earlier times. It's nice.
128.24/ So many other team fanbases need the Chargers to lose on #MNF to keep their playoff hopes alive, it feels like a nearly the whole country is rooting against them, which is giving me strong #GlassOnion vibes.
128.25a/ Tomlin gives it a silver lining - the game was flexed because it's relevant - but this is bittersweet: I got a great gift of tickets for this game! But moving to 8pm messes up all my plans & we're scrambling to adjust (if even possible)
128.25b/ I also want to apologize to the entirety of #SteelerNation ahead of time because in all my years of attending games, my team rarely wins (if ever). If we lose, I do feel it will be partially my fault. But it's worth the risk, because this was a very nice gift. #HereWeGo
128.26/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayigash 5783. @ChochmatNashim

Downloadable PDF with active links. Shiurim on the parsha by orthodox women scholars:
drive.google.com/file/d/196DC3y…
128.27/ I'm on the road for Shabbas, so I will end this early. Stay safe everyone and #ShabbatShalom!

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.

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.

[I'm a life-long Democrat born in Pittsburgh & raised in small towns (Binghamton), rural areas (Ithaca), and the South (Memphis). Walz is a familiar archetype to me.]

211.01/ Week two-hundred and eleven, July 27-August 2, 2024, thread begins here.

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.

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

210.01/ Week two-hundred and ten, July 20-26, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 209 below.
210.02/ 1. Thank you Pres. Biden for your incredible job as president. I'm sorry you're not running again

2. I support VP Harris with all my might to be president in 2024. And I hope all freedom loving Americans will do the same.
210.03/ I had too many sleepless nights over the last three weeks because of the drumbeat against Biden b/c there was too much smoke for there not to be fire. What kept me steady was my trust of his judgement. So if he thinks this is wise, then I logically have to support it.

209.01/ Week two-hundred and nine, July 13-19, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 208 below.
209.02/ Following the assassination attempt on TFG yesterday - an act I condemn; ballots not bullets - the reaction by news agencies has been unhinged. But I'm singling out The Daily Beast and Politico who are lionizing TFG using very disturbing rhetoric. I've had to unfollow.
209.03/ I'm furious that so many in Congress are playing this dangerous game but I'm reminding myself that (1) the MSM has been fabricating stories & amplifying mythological pro-GOP nonsense for a while now & (2) I trust Biden's abilities to handle this like he did NATO.
