Week 145 below.
146.02/ "The Negotiator (1998)"

If you can get past the Spacey problem, it's insane how good this movie is. Seriously.

146.03/ This is a cartoon character catch!

[Alt-video/image: Outfielder dives for the ball, it pops out of his glove, flies in the air, falls on his head, rolls down his back, down his arm, and back into his glove]

146.04/ This one of my favorite pictures of my kids ever. From 12 years ago today, my 2 youngest walking hand in hand down the sidewalk at 2 years & 4 years old. Photo from the back (no faces) of two toddlers walking down the street. On the left is a two year old girl in brown pants, brown & white striped shirt wearing a colorful flower-patterned bucket hat. Her right hand is holding the left hand of a four year old boy in blue pants, blue & yellow striped shirt wearing a blue baseball cap. They love each other and the older brother is taking care of his younger sister. It's literally the best.
146.05/ Shot 1: [alt-text: newspaper with big headline]

Shot 2: [alt-text: (spoiler alert) punchline is any day Hitler ym'sh dies will be a Jewish holiday]

Chaser:


146.06/ Because of M*sk's incompetence, my desktop app locked me out earlier in the week and when I try to load it, my browser crashes. This has been a bit frustrating.
146.09/ Have a great Shabbas everyone. Stay safe and #ShabbatShalom!

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

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.

226.02/ Yup. Still here on Twitter. Gonna keep the fight and keep the faith. And also... no regrets. #HarrisWalz2024 Picture of 2 items: on the right is the volunteer badge my family wore when canvassing in PA. On the left is the door-knob flier we would put on unresponsive houses.
226.03/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. What movie? What else to start a new season, and in such a shockingly bad time? #Casablanca.

Week 224 below.
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.
