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!

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:

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. The total eclipse of April 8, 2024

Week 191 below.
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

Week 190 below.
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.
