143.01/ Week one-hundred and forty-three, April 8-14, 2023 thread begins here.

Week 142 below. Happy #Passover everybody!
143.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight for Chol Hamoed: my parents are here (yay) and they've never seen The Emporer's New Groove! I know, right?! So that's being rectified as we speak.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emper…
143.03/ It really seems like M*sk is doing everything possible to destroy the Bird Site. If he were a rational actor, then he's laser focused on sabotage. But he's a pathetic, fragile narcissist & so these are his *best* ideas.
143.04/ While we're doing this: I own a N*zi flag. How/Why? It was bequeathed to me by my uncle a'h who took it from a dead N*zi during the Battle of the Bulge. I keep it in a drawer as a permanent reminder of my family's heroism.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of…
143.05/ I lived the meme!

My wife was watering our trees outside & was alarmed by a snake so I went out to help.
My son heard & asked: "a snake? really?"
Me: "Moon's haunted"
Him: "What?!"
Me: [hefting a baseball bat to my shoulder] "Moon's haunted"
143.06/ Words of comfort for people just setting up a kosher home: you can buy any random strange plates & cutlery for Passover & without fail your kids will have a persistent positive memories for those items.

Ugly green bowls? No problem. your kids will love them forever.
143.07/ PSA for Seventh/Eighth Day of #Pesach: turn off your phone's alarm for Wednesday and Thursday. Trust me, you don't want to have a beeping mess pavlovian reaction at 6:00 AM when shul is at 9:00.
143.08/ This is a great JPost article about some aspects of the history of the haggadah. It also brings up that "Marrubium vulgare" was considered viable for the bitter herb. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marrubium…

This plant is also called "horehound." You're welcome.

143.09/ Merry #Rumplenacht to all!
143.10/ Stay safe everyone and #ShabbatShalom!

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.

Week 140 below.
141.02/ I believe in being as religiously inclusive as possible, so I very much appreciate this thread.
141.03/ OMG, things are getting a bit hectic and tense in Israel right now.

Histadrut calling for a general strike is a logical move

But protesters breaking through security barriers of the PM's residence is scary

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.

Week 138 below.
139.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight finale. One the greatest movies ever, Stalag 17 (1953). 'Nuff said.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalag_17
139.03/ When I decide to listen to the White Stripes, it's to hear the drums. Meg White is awesome.

[Not surprised this discourse has been sparked off by some pathetic ball-headed misogynist who I blocked within the first week I was on Twitter.]

138.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. Tonight is another one of my favorites, the underrated "A-Team (2010)" imdb.com/title/tt042949…
138.03/ [I forgot to link to my essay - appropriate for Shabbat #Zachor]

Moral Echoes of a Doomed King: the Fallen Reign of King Shaul (Alei Etzion 4, 1996, pp 83-101)

Week 136 below.
137.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight has turned into watching a live #Mets game with the full booth of Gary, Keith, and Ron. Oh, how I missed this. I should've benched Shehechiyanu. #LGM
137.03/ For your reading pleasure: my wife, Dr. Rebecca Cypess', just published piece in honor of #BlackHistoryMonth about Ignatius Sancho, an Enlightenment era Black composer. Plus bonus @lizzo content!
