142.01/ Week one-hundred and forty-two, April 1-7, 2023 thread begins here.

Week 141 below.

142.02/ The Sunday after Shabbat HaChodesh is when you go Pesach shopping, the Sunday after HaGadol is when you turn your kitchen over. That's why those haftarot are on the calendar. Them's the rules.

142.03/ @pptsapper is an excellent read, especially when the neo-Confederates start to get puffy and arrogrant.

142.04/ Gevalt. This is what a N*zi usually looks like: speaking in measured tones about their own horrific hatreds.

TW: for vile bigotry

142.05/ Good description of the magical thinking mentality of motivated reasoning that crams correlation with causality, especially when the causes are clearly and openly defined.

142.06/ No sound in the original.

This seems like best answer for why that [redacted] happened

142.07/ This free Chrome add-on works so far to distinguish between verified users & 8 Dollar posers
chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

and I've heard good things about this too, but haven't used it yet (I'm worried about overburdening my browser)

142.08/ TIL via Mets radio/@HowieRose broadcast the haunted CIN hotel that MLB players often stay in and I think it's ironically cruel that the MOST superstitious athletes are subjected to this. See:

142.09/ With Finland joining NATO and TFG getting arraigned today, it's a tough day for the GOP. And all in Confederate Heritage (aka "Traitors Reveal Themselves") Month.

It's artistic in it's ironic symmetry.

142.10/ It's his superpower. Respect.

142.11/ Yeah, we got smoked yesterday, but we'll always have the Ghost Fork game to give us good memories. #GhostFork #LGM

142.12/ Of all of them, DeGrom hurts the most. But I also don't miss the weekly injury watch. It's stressful enough being a Met fan.

142.13/ Mazal tov to all who celebrate!

142.14/ For almost everybody: Don't forget to make an Eruv Tavshilin today!

For Israelis: don't forget to have a nice relaxing chol hamoed tiyul on Friday! #Passover

142.15/ This is pretty cool. Also: Hatikvah sung by American servicemen in 1944? Wow.

142.16/ And now I do too.

142.17/ Yesterday was actually a good day. This was awesome news.

142.18/ Go New Jersey! This is good to see.

142.19/ OMG

142.20/ Yes. Yes it is.

[I've been saying this for years. Also: manna canonically tastes like a donut]

142.21/ Everyone please have a wonderful Chag Kasher v'Sameach, a great #Passover holiday. Stay safe and #ShabbatShalom.
