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

233.01/ Week two-hundred and thirty-three, December 28, 2024-January 3, 2025, thread begins here.

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!

232.01/ Week two-hundred and thirty-two, December 21-27, 2024 thread begins here.

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.

230.01/ Week two-hundred and thirty, December 7-13, 2024, thread begins here.

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

Week 228 below.
229.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with Argo (2012), the rare winner of a best picture Oscar that's also re-watchable.

228.01/ Week two-hundred and twenty-eight, November 23-29, 2024, thread begins here.

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.
