140.01/ Week one-hundred and forty, March 18-24, 2023 thread begins here.

Week 139 below.
140.02/ This is pretty crazy. My school spirit is rising ;)
140.03/ All the cowardly bluster aside, a *botched* indictment would embolden TFG's supporters. Which is why, in my estimation, it has taken so long to bring one. It needs to be airtight and damning.
140.04/ Big #Passover product news: there's kitniyot-free KFP Heinz ketchup (see picture below). Purchased this morning at the Shop Rite in East Brunswick, NJ. The back of the Heinz Tomat...
140.04b/ On the other hand, in extremely not kosher news, the same store is offering a free ham. For you porcine-fressers out there, what on earth does this mean? Is it not well made? [picture of an advertisemen...
140.05/ Some other discoveries in the #KosherForPassover stocks:
(1) an bucket sized gefilte fish can (pen in picture for scale)
(2) jar of ready made charoset
(3) and something called Ketchup flavored Diddles. It's a potato snack. Pre-ketchup'd for our convenience? The gefilte fish with a dia...Streit's glass bottle o'Cha..."diddles Ketchup Flavo...
140.06/ Twitter's bonkers deadline to stop using texting for 2FA is tonight so if you're like me and have been putting it off, I found this article helpful (I gifted this WP for everyone, hopefully it works).
wapo.st/3JP9wTU
140.07/ In the #WBC, right now, is a combination of the World Series (literally) and an All-Star Game. Ohtani pitching against Jeff McNeil, Mookie Betts, and Mike Trout. WOW
140.08/ Swinging strikeout to win the game for Japan: Ohtani vs. Trout. This was good sports.
140.10/ Finally found an answer to a recurring weirdness: my laptop acting as if the shift key were on when it wasn't. I fixed it by pressing both shift keys at once.
windowsphoneinfo.com/threads/window…
140.11/ Stirring thread about an act of chesed-shel-emet - the highest level of generosity & compassion - and a look into the pathways of life even amid terrible tragedy.
140.12/ For those who've seen the jello picture

This is the background:
politico.com/news/magazine/…

(And it's a good sign that the antipathy to Sinema is intramural and all-abiding.)
140.13/ This is just ten kinds of stupid and completely expected from Apartheid Clyde. He is singlehandedly making the case for anti-capitalists for decades to come.
140.14a/ I've been dutifully trying to vote in this bracket even though (a) I'm finding my taste doesn't align with the bulk of other fans of the show & (b) I don't seem to know the official titles of the episodes.
140.14b/ So, for your sake and mine:
Treehouse of Horror 5 has (1) The Shinning (2) the time-travel Homer & (3) the eating Uter story
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treehouse…
Bart the Murderer is when he becomes a go-fer for the local mob (like early "Goodfellas")
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_the_…
140.16/ (Explanation: the Talmud says that Adar is a month of favorable judgement because of the miracle of Purim)
140.17/ As usual I lost this vote

But my comment was recognized by many as adding value:

And here's the clip with audio:
140.18/ Re: the World Baseball Classic final showdown of LAA pitcher/slugger Ohtani vs. LAA slugger Trout:
140.19/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayikra 5783

140.20/ There was a great interview with Showalter who, IIRC, agrees with Sam here. Buck recommended no clock after the 7th.
140.21/ I see other people are Pesach cleaning


[reposting]
140.22/ #NachasAlert: my 16yo & a friend decided to learn the entire masechet Moed Katan while on their bus rides home from high school and they made a siyum yesterday. We found out the night before when he asked for a white shirt. The lad is a mysterious masmid.
140.23/ Shabbos is nigh, so until next week. Stay safe everyone & #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

And, hey, it's working already!

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.
