Feels like something I should pay closer attention to.

I’m still figuring out Parsewords, but I’ve gotta say I’m proud of this one. Parseword #46 ⏱️ 1m34s ⭐️ No Hints 🐰 1 Easter Egg Found 🥚 Learn Mode

Sarah Michelle Gellar breaks the news that Hulu decided not to pick up Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale. 😲 www.instagram.com/reel/DV31Ndt...

On this day in video game history:

The found family aspect of Batman is SO important, but this is a vision for the extended biological Wayne family I really want to see.

This, but earnestly.

christians looking for jesus in every war we start, every missile we fire, every conquering despot we crown, and never in the one place jesus promised he could be found: among the poor, the starving, the oppressed.

Cabbage salad with shredded carrots, peanuts, and a miso sesame dressing (recipe here: rainbowplantlife.com/miso-dressin...).

It’s the GIF that keeps on giving.

Mike Lee playing stupid is honestly one of the most enraging things. If 2026 Mike Lee told 2014 Mike Lee the way he would be acting these days, 2014 Mike Lee would be appalled. The old Mike Lee would just not believe 2026 Mike Lee would be advocating *for* masked ICE and CBP agents.

Tried my hand at Soondubu Jjigae. I saw tofu stew on a cooking show and decided I wanted to try it. This is what I found.

Drew a little guy.

I got some labs drawn yesterday and and firmly in the prediabetes range. So here's my “not going down without a fight” lunch: brown rice bowl with tofu, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, and chili oil.

Makes sense. He already has experience writing Spider-Man (sort of). youtu.be/ywW51tbvBC8?...

When I was a Mormon missionary serving in the former Czechoslovakia, this was almost an official proselytizing tactic. I was arguably more successful at spreading the gospel of banana bread than I was the gospel of Jesus Christ. Both good for the soul, but in very different ways.

Is it basic to recommend Billy Collins? bookshop.org/p/books/wate...

There are politically- and culturally-conservative arguments against the anti-trans madness.

I don’t engage in many of my nerdy hobbies like I did before having multiple financial dependents, but READING about those hobbies remains a pleasure. Definitely gonna check this out.

The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came Down a Muppet

The Future is gonna be written by the inter-religious, interfaith, ecumenical and inclusive movements in the world. Probably more of a "faith statement" than a claim, but whatever: it's gonna happen.

I’m only married to an attorney and listen to a lot of legal podcasts, so I’m hardly the arbiter of courtroom etiquette, but this feels… really inappropriate?

Courtroom posting like this is what brought me to Bluesky. Thank you, Mr. Winslow, for keeping it local.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

are you ready for the secret knowledge (john steinbeck in a hoodie)

Cooking adventures this weekend: I paired toasted white chocolate ice cream with a mango sherbet. The mango flavor came on strong and quickly gave way to the chocolate - when you could actually taste the mango. There’s something to this pairing, but I’m still not sure this is “it.”

Woke up to good news. The deadline for ballot initiatives is 32 hours away, and the re-gerrymandering petition from Utah GOP and Turning Point is still, after months of canvassing, far short of the signatures required to make the cut. The Utah Supreme Court just said the deadline stands.

Experimenting with pairing white chocolate and mango in ice cream. First experiment: toasted white chocolate ice cream with a mango ripple. It’s… good! I’m not sure this is IT (or even if the pairing is gonna stand up to either flavor alone), but I’m not hating myself for eating this bowl.

Am I the only person who didn’t know you could toast white chocolate? And that you could mix that into ice cream to make a crazy caramel flavor?

“A quorum of crows Standing in rows On a line made for clothes Is an omen of woes.” The line and its delivery haven’t left my head in… geez, fifteen years?

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

Occasionally have to remember that my primary food audience is, in fact, a pair of small children.

You’re doomscrolling, I’m cream posting. We are not the same. (Note to self: workshop before hitting “post.”)

Gianmarco Soresi. Kendrick Lamar. Hatsune Miku. …the last one I thought of as a joke but no actually I would love that.

Look, either you believe that we're all God's creations and that God "so loved the world" or you're just part of a club that reads the same book and leaves it there.

A real man of the people.

My only substantial grievance with the new Muppet special was the way they were presented as “Disney’s Muppets.” Those are JIM HENSON’S little creatures, you corporate fiends!

The people who said I’d get more conservative as I got older were correct, in a “finger on the monkey’s paw curls” kinda way.

Maybe a hot take, but I kinda think clown hate is overblown. First drawing of 2026. Will it be the last drawing? Maybe! It’s been a rough year already!

Today’s scoop: cardamom ice cream. This is… just wonderful. If it weren’t so darn hard to find whole cardamom pods locally, I’d have made this long before. This probably needs to be tinted in the future. Maybe a light green? I’d also like to find something crunchy to add, like candied pistachios.

Thank you. I was definitely doing this anyway.

If you need something positive to do to help your community right now that will cost nothing but time, go give blood. Someone is always in need. (A family member's life was saved by donated blood.) For a list of blood donation centers & blood drives within 20 miles of your zip code, search AABB:

I hoped for a quote from Eboo Patel, whose vision of the American Potluck resonates with me: “For the larger community to eat, everybody needs to bring a dish. Along the way, conversation happens, palates widen, fusions emerge.” Food is sacred, whatever its background. So are people.

Literally gave me chills.

WHAT?!?! I stupidly offloaded mine a few years back and will be re-purchasing ASAP.

Today’s homemade scoop: White chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough. I infused the nuts into the dairy, but the flavor is too subtle. Next time, I’ll try this with “white chocolate” ice cream, which is probably the flavor I want anyway.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

I feel the whole movie is pretty well-rated at this point, but if I had to try: “And remember, this gun is pointed right at your heart.” “That is my least vulnerable spot!”
