I think this has been a disappointing game in a disappointing season and it's understandable to be really frustrated.

This is a game that doesn't really matter but I don't think it's asking too much for a better performance than this dross.

This year I was asked to create a playlist of songs for every day of counting the omer. For some Jews this is a time to reflect on the various attributes of God (or whatever that means). 49 days, 49 songs, each one corresponding to a specific combination of these attributes. (Thread)

The small but mighty klezmer world has taken up the mantle of ska-esque band names. And I, for one, would rather live in a kleztocracy

A movie you've watched more than 6 times.

Striking juxtaposition in Jack Smith's final report: While riot raged, the TV where Trump was sitting showed rioter saying Pence was Trump's last hope to overthrow the election. *Then* Trump issued his tweet directing the mob to target Pence. When informed Pence's life was in danger, he shrugged.

Same! Had the same exact thought

Have no idea who replaces him but I don't understand how we can continue with this project when the project seems to be going backwards.

Depressing really. Hope I'm very wrong about all of this. I want him to succeed. I have loved us under Ange. But when we're bad we are so so so bad.

Having no real options on the bench isn't his fault ...
But it kind of is.

Dunno, man. This feels like the game in which I turn on Ange.
Injuries aren't his fault... But they kind of are.
Poor individual play isn't his fault ... But it kind of is.
Not being able to unlock a deep well organized defense isn't his fault ... But it kind of is.

Can we appeal to the FA to extend Bentancur’s ban?

The children all sleeping away like it's night,
As the side take 10 passes to go left to right.

Twas the day after Christmas and I have only one wish,
a single spurs player that can make a big switch

Betancur boiled my blood when he did the classic "calm down, slow down" gesture (a la hojbjerg) at the moment when it was taking us fifteen passes to switch play. All whilst not doing anything at all to help the team.

No one except Solanke and Spence able or willing to turn a defender. It's too easy for them to stifle the attack.

It was just a given in my family. Both my father's parents were survivors. Habits die hard. Meanwhile I'm transmitting all kinds of things to my kids.

Which leads to the inevitable question: What will the fourth generation of Gazans believe about their safety?

Completely blown away to learn that hannukah candles are meant to be displayed in windows unless one is afraid for one's safety. Then it is appropriate for candles to be lit in the center of a table.

I have never, in my life, lit the menorah anywhere other than the center of the table.

Man you turned me on to the record earlier this year and it sent me in a deep dive of his stuff. Thank you for that. What a great album!!!

I really hope Ange is given time. I really do. But I suspect Levy will not be patient much longer.

Spurs have failed on the individual level and on the coaching level. Poor individual mistakes? Yes. Outrageous team rotation and injury management? Yes.

The squad looks so fragile and so weak. January should be fun.
