Week 135 below.
136.02/ Just got the message that M*sk is removing 2 factor authentication unless I pony up 8 bucks a month. Yeah, it's getting pretty unsafe here. See thread below:
136.03/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues: my kids requested another Simpson's showing, so I chose 3 episodes from the great 5th season
ep3:

ep15: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Spac…
ep20: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_W…
136.04/ #ChochmatNashim for #Mishpatim 5783 (Late, sorry) @ChochmatNashim

Downloadable PDF with working links for classes by Orthodox women scholars on the parsha and other Torah of the week.

136.05/ Nearing the end of a calendar year every organization you know sends fundraising emails at spam levels.

Me on Jan 1st: Whew, glad that's over. December schnorrer-spam is overwhelming!

Adar 1st: Hold my hamantaschen.
136.06/ On one side you have kavod ha-Rav, kavod ha-Torah, kavod ha-meit, and kavod ha-Briyot.

On the other side, you have... this
136.07/ Whoa. Unfollowed & blocked that guy with a quickness.

[screenshots of a P*sach L*ttin diatribe against OP and the comments show similar aggression towards many people I follow]
136.08/ A cromulent list. My particular nemesis shlach-manot is the baggie filled with loose, unlabeled food with no hechsher and/or no indication of pareve/dairy (with bonus points for homemade baked goods with no included family name. Sigh)
136.09/ Taking a break from watching the #NYR getting hammered (guys, next time don't use up all our goals for the month all at once!) by watching the appropriate documentary for this week's parsha:
136.11/ TIL about Isaac Newton's research and writings on the #Mishkan (Tabernacle) as in this week's parsha. See here:
jpost.com/israel-news/ne…
136.12/ I was just about to make this meme and glad to see I already made it last year. #Terumah #PashaHumor

Downloadable PDF with working links. Shiurim by Orthodox women on the parsha and other topics of the week.

136.14/ My first response: Man, that's some messed up looking ketchup!

Second look: Maybe it's guacamole! That sounds great.

Third: Nope, British food. It's peas... Peas? Peas?!
136.17/ Alt-text [From Tumblr? I edited in capitalization & punctuation]:

Cat-n-tonic: "Can you OD on Vitamin D?"

Poompkin: "That's how Icarus died."

136.18/ Have a great Shabbas everyone, especially given the dozens of warnings I've gotten about the Day of Something Something.

Stay safe and #ShabbatShalom!

135.02/ Hurried and harried to start the week. I'm on my way to a conference and had to get up before tallis & tefillin, which is an uncomfortable way to begin the week, lemme tell you.
135.03/ #NachasAlert: so "my" team (really my son) is in second place in the @fboutsiders "Best of the Rest" contest. We're "JCypress" [sic]. We need 17 points from Kenneth Gainwell to win. So, uh... keep us in mind!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_vs._…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_the…
132.03/ This is an amazing Tanakh resource (with an equally amazing backstory involving refuseniks and resistance) and I can't believe it's being sold for under $3.00.
