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:
hauntedrooms.com/wisconsin/milw…
mlb.com/news/haunted-b…
espn.com/espn/print?id=…
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.
142.11/ 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.
142.17/ Yesterday was actually a good day. This was awesome news.
142.18/ Go New Jersey! This is good to see.
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.

Week 233 below.
234.02/ #ChochmatNashim for #Vayechi 5784 (LAST YEAR) @ChochmatNashim.

234.03/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continued with a thoroughly underrated family favorite: Constantine (2005)

233.01/ Week two-hundred and thirty-three, December 28, 2024-January 3, 2025, thread begins here.

Week 232 below. #HappyChanukah!
233.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with a favorite - The Martian (2015) - that combined two of my other favorites: Cast Away (2000) & Apollo 13 (1995). Yes, I'm surprised Tom Hanks wasn't in this one.

233.03/ @ppppp1245688 is correct, and I just realized that it's the modern-secular equivalent of a Yissachar-Zevulun arrangement!

Week 231 below. Yes, it's super late, but this app is sputtering.
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.

Week 229 below
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

229.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with Argo (2012), the rare winner of a best picture Oscar that's also re-watchable.

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.
