132.01/ Week one-hundred and thirty-two, January 21-27, 2023, thread, begins here.

Week 131 below.
132.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues, in a way, in between football games. My daughter requested I fulfill a promise to show them some of The Simpsons, so I chose 3 episodes:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homie_the…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_vs._…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_the…
132.03/ This is an amazing Tanakh resource (with an equally amazing backstory involving refuseniks and resistance) and I can't believe it's being sold for under $3.00.

132.04/ When a fan's #NFL team is on Defense, you go through ever increasing desperate stages:

1. Gotta get a stop.
2. Gotta keep 'em to 3.
3. Gotta get a turnover!
4. We need the other team to make a mistake!

Finally, the step too far:
5. We need an injury to a key player
132.05/ We'll be finishing a masechet today, Bli Neder (which is where we'll be tomorrow, TBH). Mazal tov to all the learners! #DafYomi #DafYomiPun
132.06/ Postulated: "The map is not the territory" is the difference between quantitative and qualitative data.
132.07/ Big, if true.
132.08/ For all you knowledge lovers: there's an upcoming livestream lecture featuring my wife, Dr. Rebecca Cypess, this Sunday, Jan. 29th 2 pm EST: "Pianos and the Salon in the Eighteenth Century"

132.09/ Some great eulogies for Rav Moshe Kahn, zt”l:

132.10/ #ChochmatNashim for #Bo 5783, Thurs Draft. @ChochmatNashim

It's likely that I post the final document too late on Fri for most people, so I'm putting up a draft tonight.

Torah from Orthodox Women on the parsha; PDF with active links:
drive.google.com/file/d/1HIk1vw…
132.11/ #NachasAlert: My son was recently promoted to Editor-in-Chief of his HS' Torah journal (as a sophomore!) and while he didn't write an entry this week, this is his first helmed production:
drive.google.com/file/d/1pw9IxZ…
132.12/ #ChochmatNashim for #Bo 5783, Friday Final (see below for earlier draft). @ChochmatNashim


Downloadable PDF with working links:
drive.google.com/file/d/1jjy8kP…
132.13/ Make Hillary their court-appointed lawyer and it'll be ratings gold!
132.14/ Good question. I recommend changing "Divisional Round" to "Quarterfinals" which is both (a) commonly used across many sports & countries, and (b) it's externally comprehensible.
132.15/ In answer to this question:

I recommend this:
kosherimage.com/sbt.html
which we use, is also expensive and not the highest quality, so basically the equivalent of food cooked on a blech vs. an oven.
132.16/ #NachasAlert update. My son had a full week of ambulance duty and I couldn't be prouder. Saving lives, giving care, and filling out paperwork. The whole megillah.
132.17/ This is clearly a generational thing, even year by year. As I said when I first saw this: "This Hydrox erasure will not stand!" - because Hydrox tastes just as yummy as Oreo. But Mars candies becoming kosher was a game-changer.
132.18/ Dvar Torah from 2 years ago on the "Eruv Rav" aka the "Mixed Multitude." (tl;dr - in my eyes, they are crucial to understanding the morality of the plagues and are heroes of our history).
132.19/ IMO N*te Silver's immolation has been a long-time coming.

I first muted then blocked him almost two years ago b/c of his nonsense.

And this actually makes sense, given what we've seen in his feed:
132.20/ I'll end here; Friday's are getting longer but not THAT long. Have a great Shabbas everyone! Stay safe & #ShabbatShalom!

228.01/ Week two-hundred and twenty-eight, November 23-29, 2024, thread begins here.

Week 227 below.
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.

Week 225 below.
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.

225.01/ Week two-hundred and twenty-five, November 2-8, 2024, thread begins here.

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.

Week 223 below.
224.02/ There's sticker shock and then there's "standing on the bathroom scale after 3 three-day yuntifs and 2 major fasts over 3 weeks" sticker shock.
224.03/ BTW, Trump (ym"sh) abd the MAGA-GOP going completely mask-off with racist nativism was very much on my BINGO card.

Week 222 below.
223.02/ Downside of "October is the Best Sports Month" - mixed blessing really - is that at 8pm tonight 3 of my teams will be on at the same time. NYMets facing elimination, #LIGHTITUPNYL in the last game of the finals, and the Steelers on SNF.
223.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vezot #SimchatTorah #SheminiAtzeret 2023-5784 (LAST YEAR). @ChochmatNashim
