151.03/ Now playing thematic songs: "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers, "Blood of the Sun" by Mountain, "Sunshine Superman" by Donavon, "Here Comes the Sun" by Ritchie Havens and "The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas" by TMBG
151.04/ This comic from Red Meat comes to mind #RedSun in NJ
151.05/ My old hometown is orange but then again, so is my current town. Luckily I've paid attention to the West Coasters who've reported their conditions in the past few years and know what to do (stay indoors, mask outdoors, daven)
151.08/ From M*sk to the HBO/Max nonsense to the studios being struck by the WGA to that CNN goofball, we're learning that these people are willing to suffer enormous amounts of preventable losses in service of their retrograde ideologies. nytimes.com/2023/06/05/tec…
151.09/ My earlier comments from this week about the sad #DeGrom saga.
June 5
150.11/ Songlist I'm playing for the flaming sky tonight:

"Fire Woman" - The Cult
"Fire" - Hendrix
"Great Balls of Fire" - Jerry Lee Lewis
"Serpentine Fire" - EW&F
"Fire" - Ohio Players
"Smoke From a Distant Fire" - Sanford-Townsend Band
150.13/ This is the best booth in sports and they really know baseball and the #Mets and if you lose the booth, you're in real trouble. That's when I knew Callaway (ugh) and Rojas were done. #LGM
151.17/ Thank goodness the air cleared up enough that I could grill for Shabbas, especially since this is the first since my son returned from Israel. So happy he's home.
151.18/ This is art.
[Img: Pitcher for White Sox is "Burger", batter for Yankees is "King." Their names are next to each other on the screen]
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.
