142.02/ The Sunday after Shabbat HaChodesh is when you go Pesach shopping, the Sunday after HaGadol is when you turn your kitchen over. That's why those haftarot are on the calendar. Them's the rules.
142.03/ @pptsapper is an excellent read, especially when the neo-Confederates start to get puffy and arrogrant.
142.05/ Good description of the magical thinking mentality of motivated reasoning that crams correlation with causality, especially when the causes are clearly and openly defined.
142.09/ With Finland joining NATO and TFG getting arraigned today, it's a tough day for the GOP. And all in Confederate Heritage (aka "Traitors Reveal Themselves") Month.

219.03/ It's stuff like this that makes almost any wild idea about the capabilities of technology seem plausible. The good guys just did SOMETHING to make beepers remotely blow up. That's not something I could even imagine existing and yet here we are.
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.

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.]
211.02/ 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.
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.
