As I said the other day: It’s only a war if it comes from the war region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling military conflict

Made @wordloaf.org's Detroit-style pizza for my spouse's birthday lunch today. Turned out way better than I thought possible for a home oven. Topped it with guanciale & caramelized onion, Wisconsin brick cheese. (I failed to do stripes with the sauce so not as pretty as Andrew's recipe pics.)🍽️

My state of the union pre-buttal: “Fuck right the fuck off.”

"This, finally, is the essence of Trumpism, and what is guiding the spasms that pass for policy in this administration. Do it for social media, for your self-satisfaction, with no sense of obligation to anything or anyone else. If it feels good, do it." www.liberalcurrents.com/what-trump-s...

Josh Marshall: “Today's decision is simply one of those cases where the Constitution happens to coincide with the Court's partial and illegitimate self-interest.”

This might be the tastiest bread I've ever made in 30+ years. @wordloaf.org's Sourdough English Muffin Bread. So delicious, and relatively straightforward to make. No fussiness required. I can see it becoming a regular in the rotation. 🍞🍽️

Super Bowl King Cake! 🍽️

Jayhawks ftw! RCJH.

This rice cooker is 40 (or 41?) years old this year. I bought it in Chinatown shortly after moving to Boston post-college. Lived there for 8 years before moving on. Still going strong!

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

It’s been a year and I use them but I have absolutely no idea what a passkey is. Half the time login fails with them and I have to do something else that works (like a password). I refuse to understand more. I’m tired of computers and don’t care. This is what it’s like for every non-nerd, isn’t it?

Enjoy your MAHA-approved affordable dinner during the Golden Age. It’s your patriotic duty to ration and fight inflation for Dear Leader. The nation is counting on you.

Bari Weiss's CBS News is the Trump administration's new laundromat defector.com/cbs-news-is-...

Fascists are pathetic: defector.com/fascists-are...

Hey guys, he's serious about destroying NATO with the Greenland stuff. Might be time for Republican Senators to think about pumping the brakes? You know? Rather than just letting him do it? I mean not Roger Marshall, obviously. He's an idiot.

If Bari Weiss is exceptional, it's only in her knack for making a spectacle of the sort of things that slicker operators in media say and do all the time without causing too much of a fuss. defector.com/bari-weiss-i...

“We need a higher ed system that’s not rooted in students as customers, but in critical inquiry and the development of smart, thoughtful citizens in a democracy who can see through the lies and stand up for the kind of society we want to build.” — Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

New Orleans restaurant recs please. As always more fucked up, the better.

Xmas Modelo 🍺

That was fast.

Happy 100th birthday Dick Van Dyke!

Bottling hot sauce for the holidays! The red sauce is from random red peppers, seasoned by taste on the fly. A bit smoky. The orange is habanero pineapple. Has a kick but not too brutal. Both were lacto-fermented for several months, then blended before bottling. 🍽️ #kungfuhots

I've worked on many historic buildings and have never seen a staircase like this proposed one.

Oh shit waddup

Farmhouse Ale at Brink Brewing in Cincinnati. Nice!

My Thanksgiving brew this year: American Brown Ale. Seems right for the season. 🍺 #homebrew #kungfubrews

Processed hot sauce on this beautiful November day! Happy with the outcome. 🍽️

Jamelle was cooking. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/o...

I don’t think this was about the Democratic Party. It was about Democratic voters.

Thanksgiving beer in the fermenter! Big Brown Ale - an American Brown Ale. 🍺 #homebrew

I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Feb. 20, 1944.

Giving up what they like (good bourbon, Bud Light, healthcare) and replacing it with something far inferior (shitty bourbon, whatever replaces Bud Light, measles) is just what a MAGA has to go through to own the libs.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Perfect timing. 10 minute hop stand before I can leave for the #nokings protest in my Kansas town. (making an ESB for autumn weather). I’ll chill it afterwards. #homebrew 🍺

from last night: ZombieWalk, an annual event in Lawrence, Kansas. (Benefit parade for Humane Society).
