Oh no! The author of the Hagaddah must never have been to a Seder!

A page from a decorative Hagaddah, the page at the begining where we say Ha Lachma Anya (This is the bread of our affliction).

XKCD transcript:

[Ponytail and Cueball are talking. Ponytail has her hand raised, palm up, towards Cueball.]
Ponytail: Silicate chemistry is second nature to us geochemists, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the formulas for olivine and one or two feldspars.
Cueball: And quartz, of course.
Ponytail: Of course.
[Caption below the panel]
Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field.

Looks pretty clear:

Rambam Hilchos Shabbat chapter 21 paragraph 2: A person who levels crevices [in the ground] is liable for [performing the forbidden labor of] plowing. For this reason, it is forbidden to defecate in a field that is lying fallow, lest one come to level crevices.
A person who empties a storeroom [of its contents] on the Sabbath, because he needs [the storeroom] for the sake of a mitzvah - e.g., to house guests or to use as a study hall - should not empty the storeroom entirely, lest he come to level crevices within.
[A person who] has mud on his feet may clean it off on a wall or on a beam, but not on the ground, lest he level crevices. A person should not spit on the ground and wipe it with his feet, lest crevices be leveled. It is, however, permitted to step on spittle that is lying on the ground as one walks, without having any specific intent.

lol this is in response to calling them out for sharing a "news" item made up by AI (they turned off replies after replying to me so I can't respond). Even if you accept the premise of their argument, in this case they're arguing that it's okay to run pedestrians over cuz cars are inevitable

altNOAA writing "Agreed. It's like being "pro-horse" in 1905 and rallying against the automobile.You can choose to join the Amish if you wish, but the automobile is going to revolutionize the world, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst.

*Googles who was Dietrich Bonhoeffer* Oh... Hmmm... Interesting....

Screenshot from Wikipedia that includes the paragraph: Bonhoeffer was accused of being associated with the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler and was tried along with other accused plotters, including former members of the Abwehr (the German Military Intelligence Office). He was hanged on 9 April 1945 during the collapse of the Nazi regime.

Tweet by one Douglas Boneparth that says: I used AI to do my taxes this year and I'm getting a $100,000 refund. I simply said "do my taxes and make sure I get a $100,000 refund. Make no mistakes." Simply incredible. AI is the future.

lol apparently the PHP mailing list held a vote to remove the link to twitter from their website. The vote didn't get the 2/3 needed to pass, this is how they announced the result:

An email that reads: Hi, the vote failed to achieve a 2/3v majority of "yes" votes, so the link to the defunct account on the website owned by the transphobic white supremacist will remain on the homepage of PHP.net. Thanks to everyone who voted. Jim.

I'm still sad about the Torah Scroll Ramon brought. It survived the Holocaust only to burn up in space 😢 (obviously that's far from the biggest tragedy here, but for Jews it has a lot of sentimentality)
