very curious how Rava bar Meḥasseya thinks it's going to work if we all just run off and found new cities everywhere all the time given a finite earth. is he the original "economic growth can continue forever without ruining the planet" fool? #DafYomi #Shabbat10

Shimon ben Gamliel: hey, if you give a kid a loaf of bread, you should probably, like, tell the kid's mother somehow
the Gemara: ok but how tho
Abaye: you could dump some oil on the pipsqueak or like, do the kid's eyeshadow?
the Gemara: that will make ppl think there's witchcraft afoot!!!
Rav Pappa: ugh, fine, just smear the kid with some of the bread or whatever

forget second breakfast, friends, i don't even think our sages knew about *first* breakfast #DafYomi #DafYomeme #Shabbat10

just as G-d created the physical world we live in with words, so do judges, legislators, and other agents of our legal system create the bureaucratic world we live in with words — not a task to be taken lightly! #DafYomi #Shabbat10

PREPARE TO MEET YOUR MAKER!!! ...by which i just mean pls put on a belt, ur pants are falling down and we have an important meeting coming up #DafYomi #Shabbat10

are there really places on this earth so scarred and aching that it is futile to even hope for peace, for wholeness, for a satisfactory end to all conflicts? i hope there aren't; i fear there are. #DafYomi #Shabbat10
