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.
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?
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?
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.
(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_…
140.22/ #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!
232.02/ Shiva minyans during #Chanukah are surreal. That is all.
232.03/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight was actually on Nitel-nacht (after we learned Torah, like good little Litvaks). And what else? Yippe-kai-yay, Maccabee.
#DieHardIsAChanukahMovie
230.02/ The Assad regime collapsing over Shabbas #Vayetze seems especially appropriate. I had long compared Lavan to Assad, the urbane facade hiding real cruelty and depravity. I celebrate the toppling of a murderous regime and the liberation of Saydnaya prison.
230.03/ Mets Twitter is having a party right now. This is fun. #LGM
229.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayetze #Vayetzei #Vayeitzei 5784 2023 (LAST YEAR). @ChochmatNashim.

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.
