145.03/ Ya know how you used to believe in [literal and/or impossible thing about fundamental aspects of life] when you were a kid but then discovered the truth as you got older & more educated? Well the M*sk/Tr*mp years showed us many adults have never reached that milestone.
145.04/ Just reintegrating this classic into the contemporary timeline:
This has gotta be a result of the Dominion lawsuit, no? Either directly - terms of the settlement - or indirectly, that FoxNews thought he was too much of a liability.
145.06b/ About Tucker: (1) Deplatforming works & (2) Carlson had many powerful friends who were keeping his voice in the public. Not only couldn't they save him here, but his replacement is likely not to have the same allies. Good news for the good guys!
145.08/ I'm having so much computer trouble it feels like I'm under attack. I wonder how much of it is from Twitter being held together by twigs and string.
145.10/ Repeated computer crashes made it impossible to end the thread before Shabbas, so I'll end it now and start a new one immediately. @threadreaderapp please unroll.

196.03/ #NachasAlert: My son has a big article (pages 4-6) in this week's Torah journal from his high school #Metzora-#HaGadol. Enjoy! drive.google.com/file/d/1uNKU5O…
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.
194.02/ #ChochmatNashim for #Shemini 5784.
@ChochmatNashim
Downloadable PDF with working links to Divrei Torah by Orthodox women scholars on the parsha and other topics of the week. #Shmini #HaChodesh drive.google.com/file/d/1bFHTfW…
193.03/ #NachasAlert: Final (so far) tally of times my son leyned Megillah seven times; 3 last night, four times today. Including once for a home-bound Shoah survivor. So proud.
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
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.
