Gimme gimme more 😭

The most cookies I’ve ever made in a weekend(clockwise from top) gingerbread latte, mortadella, buche de Noel, golden butterscotch, mint chocolate chip, peanut butter fingers

Very interesting! 💙💙

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

So congress was out of session for 54 days....days they were still paid for, and THIS is how they're spending their time to take care of their constituents when they get back?!?!! What a bunch of shysters.

Notice a difference in how Democracy Docket framed Trump's threats vs how legacy media did? This is no accident. They are more interested in normalizing Trump to please their corporate overlords. Democracy Docket is only interested in providing you the truth. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

How does she rationalize all the lies that she tells? Like, does she really think that lying about everything is the right thing to do for the country? Is this just a paycheck for her as she thinks, "I get paid to do what I'm told: tell lies"?

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I have to admit I was not expecting this because the Supreme Court has been so unpredictable/unreliable lately. But I am happy to admit I was wrong (in this case). apnews.com/article/supr...

Well this is one way to get around 'you can't do that, actually.'

Wait, doesn't Caroline Leavitt always say that Trump is the most transparent president of all time??? Or maybe she means that he's the most transparently corrupt president. I keep mixing those two up.

Our ornament swap is inspired by this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqyz... A lot of people don't realize how tanked this economy is about to be. We don't want anyone to go broke just trying to give their family & friends a nice holiday.

If you need yet another indication that this administration does not care at all about the non-wealthy, here you go:

Quelle surprise

So...Ryda asked for a puzzle (we have a "puzzle" word buzzer for him and he asks for a puzzle every day), so I brought out this "Level 4" puzzle that he has solved several times before. This time, I gave him the puzzle and went back to work. Literally 3 minutes later...

How do we get pictures.of.sue on Bluesky?

Luckily still warm enough to go to the dog beach. Don’t know how many more of these weekends we’ll have

This weekend’s bake: Lemon Cream Cheese Bars

Second Amendment activists in shock as Charlie Kirk shot instead of just schoolchildren

Free speech for me, but not for thee...

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

This weekend's bake: French Apple Cake

Braided cinnamon rolls was the bake for this weekend. Not pictured: the cream cheese frosting that was served on the side. Increasing the 2nd proofing time helped made them 'lighter' this time according to our friends.

Anything but the Epstein files.

This is really good messaging. It's too bad that most of the Democrats don't know how to do this.

I loved Andor so much that I made a T-shirt for myself…

Frederick Douglass' descendants reading the major excerpts from his speech on the 4th of July. Everyone, especially those who benefit from racism, should read the entire speech. It still matters. What to the Slave is the Fourth of July is still relevant today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBe5...

I just sent this to Rep. Brandon Gill's communications director:

SEN: @ossoff.bsky.social: “WHO’S GETTING FIRED AT THE VA?” COLLINS: 🤷🏼‍♂️

AOC: “grounds for impeachment” Jeffries: “Trump needs to explain”

Saturday’s bake: braised cinnamon-chocolate rolls:

President Trump’s administration has ordered a crisis service for LGBTQ youth to close within 30 days in a move that opponents have said will have dire conseque…

I guess I should have posted this over the weekend, but in my fatigue after the march, I took a 3 hour nap and forgot to post it.

I thought this story was horrific, but realizing it was an actor I long enjoyed only made it worse. My God.

This is insane. On one hand, I'm stunned that our government would attempt this, on the other, given all its other attempts at eroding our democracy, it's not really all that surprising (unfortunately).

This op-ed is freaking beautiful and everyone should read it www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/an-...

Butterscotch!!!

OMG, I love this!!!

He’s so dumb

The Department of Defense has a $1 trillion budget and they’ve failed 7 consecutive audits. And they’re asking for $150 billion more. They have the gall to ask for $150 billion more and they can’t pass an audit? What the heck is going on?

MUST WATCH: AOC just torched GOP lies on live TV. “As a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.” They said our rights were protected. They lied. And now they swear Medicaid is safe? Fuck outta here.

Community residents and environmental activists say that since the supercomputer was fired up last summer it has become one of the biggest air polluters in the county. But some local officials have championed the billionaire, saying he is investing in (polluting) Memphis.
