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.

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

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.

227.03/ The first time through the cruel & stupid Trump (ym'sh) circus I read the news with trepidation because I didn't know what terrible thing he'd do next. This time, I read the news with contempt & anger because the MSM helped elect him and wants him to succeed.
225.02/ Finally dropped off our ballots this morning & took a selfie. A fun thing then happened: a young dad carrying a baby arrived after us & he said that it was his first time voting after becoming a citizen! So I insisted on taking a photo of him (with his camera). USA! USA!
225.03/ Yes, I'm the one who waited all Shabbas for the poll, taught my kids how polls work (social science PhD, baby) & what I hoped would happen (GOP leading by only 5). And they got to see my stunned elation in real time when I read the news.
