133.01/ Week one-hundred and thirty-three, January 28-February 3, 2023, thread begins here.

Week 132 below.
133.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues: one of the best superhero movies ever made, "Batman Returns"
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_Re…
133.02b/ I'd forgotten all the explicit Moses/Exodus imagery in the movie. So it's perfect for tonight!
133.03/ My wife's (free) lecture is today at 2pm. See here for information: academyfortepiano.org/international-…

To watch the livestream:
133.04/ Watched the #AFCCG with my daughter & there was a taunting penalty.
She asked "What's 'taunting'? Saying 'nanny-nanny boo-boo?!'"
Me: Usually it's something profane to get 15 yards.
The penalty: [a 350lb O-lineman waving his hands while dancing foot-to-foot]
Me: D'oh!
133.05/ Proud to present my wife's latest piece relevant for #Beshalach about understanding Miriam's music and the Song at the Sea through the lens of music among enslaved Africans in the Atlantic world. (See footnote 1 for content warnings)
thelehrhaus.com/commentary/mir…
133.06/ Will Brady's retirement last longer than a Liz Truss lettuce?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Truss…


(He was generous to the end: allowing 9 teams to brag that they beat him before he limps off to the sunset to spend more time with his trophies.)
133.07/ Can't beat the NYT for credulously repeating the culturally hegemonic position on any subject. IMO, change "Brady, widely viewed as the greatest player in NFL history" to "Brady, the NFL's version of Barry Bonds" & people will be better informed.
133.08/ #ChochmatNashim for #Beshalach 5783 (Early Draft) @ChochmatNashim

Shiurim by Orthodox women scholars.

Sending a draft early. PDF with working links.
drive.google.com/file/d/1SohLam…
@ChochmatNashim 133.09/ From last year about #GroundhogDay:
133.10/ From the past few years, my threads about #Beshalach
133.11/ In honor of #TuBiShvat, my daughter & I are trying to work out lyrics for a parody song called "We Don't Talk About Pesach" set to #Encanto's "Bruno." Will update when available.
133.12/ Climate change is a rolling catastrophe - believe me, I know - but, at the same time, the Northeast without snow is kind of a cheat code.
133.12b/ Then again, climate change is established by science but we still have to deal with intemperate, magical groundhogs. Because this is a-comin'
133.13/ Amalek is in the parsha, so it's a good time to repost this essay by my beloved teacher Rabbi Dr. Aharon Lichtenstein zt'l: "Does Jewish Tradition Recognize An Ethic Independent of Halakha?" (1975)
drive.google.com/file/d/1gD0AUJ…
133.14/ #ChochmatNashim for #Beshalach 5783, Friday Final. @ChochmatNashim

Downloadable PDF with working links of shiurim by Orthodox women scholars.
drive.google.com/file/d/1Kk5yMI…
133.15/ Throwback Far Side cartoon for #Beshalach
133.16/ It's notable that while I'm still masking and eagerly running after booster shots etc., the feeling I had about #Beshalach and the pandemic didn't come back to me this year. It's reached a new phase, in my brain; for better or worse.
133.17/ All season I've said to my kids what I described as the Collinsworth-ization of Romo. By that I mean: over-the-top, and inaccurate, praise of every person mentioned during the broadcast. It was hard to listen to. Glad to know others see it as well.
nypost.com/2023/02/02/cbs…
133.18/ The M*sk looming API debacle (see below) is like the Netflix looming "sharing" debacle. Utterly short-term moves that will poison the well for anyone who actually uses the product. Brutish greed in all its ugliness.
133.19/ Warner continues to impress.
133.20/ A response of mine from earlier in the week:

Q)
A)
133.21/ Incredible it's taken this long, but I'm old enough to know that this was once considered unattainable. Good to see.
133.22/ Have a great Shabbas everyone! Stay safe and #ShabbatShalom

195.01/ Week one-hundred and ninety-five, April 6-12, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 194 below.
195.02/ Happy #Eclipse2024 Day for all who celebrate. Here's an interesting article about the halakhic implications of an eclipse by Rabbi Dov Linzer:
blogs.timesofisrael.com/solar-eclipse-…
195.03/ #Eclipse2024 My extended family went to a place of 100% totality and took this picture a few minutes ago. For me its 90% and can't be photographed (which is one reason I said shehechiyanu). Not paskening for anyone else, but for me this is a religious experience. The total eclipse of April 8, 2024

192.01/ Week one-hundred and ninety-two, March 16-22, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 191 below.
192.02/ So today is #ZayinAdar and Saint Patrick's Day during Ramadan. What could go wrong?
192.03/ There's a resonance in having a fast that commemorates a community sacrifice for soldiers fighting a defensive war against raging antisemites. #TaanitEsther

And, hey, it's working already!

191.01/ Week one-hundred and ninety-one, March 9-15, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 190 below.
191.02/ Last #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight of the season. How to top last week, and with a movie my youngest hasn't seen yet? "Fletch (1985)" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletch_(f…
191.03/ I agree with Prof. Simkovich, re: the Oscar guy.

Also, I see people wrestling to make sense of his convoluted phrasing, but I'm not inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to a declaration that inherently refuses to give others the same benefit.

Week 189 below.
190.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues, 2 weeks left before we change the clocks so climbing to the finale. It's "Raising Arizona (1987)" night! I don't need to explain how great it is, right?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_A…
190.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayakhel #Pekudei 5783 (last year; this year it's Vayakhel-Shekalim)
