UPDATE: Alex Marrero does not explicitly deny being a finalist in Chicago, but says he is “proud to continue serving as superintendent” at DPS. trib.al/1xnGWiH

God I am tired of pedantic men on the internet. If you feel the need to explain literally anything to me unasked, just unfollow. I am so tired of you. (I blocked the guy in question.)

Wait, the new Frankenstein is already on Netflix? No wonder no one goes to theaters anymore.

Kevin Spacey can do a spot on Bill Clinton impersonation and yet whatever the fuck he was doing in House of Cards was a mess. See also Nicole Kidman and Jude Law in Cold Mountain. Just. Hire. Southerners.

If my co-cook (technically sous chef) insists on getting me off the clock ASAP on Fridays, at least Jon could join me for a cocktail.

Flashback to when my cat and I were both babies, 14 years ago.

Ew no.

Really love that the sandwich guy was on video whipping a sandwich at a CBP officer and right away was like "damn right I did that shit, I hit that pig with a sandwich" and the Justice Department tried to bigfoot the case and couldn't even get him on a misdemeanor because fuck you

she wants to be president. and she’s not bad at populist politics. that’s it. she’s exactly who she always was, and who the republican party will be for at least much of the rest of all of our lifetimes. don’t be a mark, it’s embarrassing

Reading something where a writer says an item is one of her most worn items of clothing and then later mentions she wears it maybe once a month. My most-worn items get worn like, 2 times a week! Hell, I have 3 aprons for my 3 shifts a week and they all get washed weekly.

I'd say that Trump's all-stick-no-carrot style of despotism rather broadly connects the democracy and the economic argument; anyway if you're not out there saying that authoritarianism makes us all financially poorer off, maybe politics isn't your thing

IDK what my deal is but I am not sleepy tonight.

So mayo is egg yolks emulsified with acid, and a neutral oil. Hollandaise is egg yolks emulsfied with acid and clarified butter. How is "butternaise" not just a cold hollandaise? 🍽️🍜

this would mean half of registered california voters voted in an odd year special election with a single arcane proposition on the ballot

for christmas this year i think i am going to make grandma sewing kits for my friends that aren’t very crafty like in the royal dansk cookie tin. some nice thread, needles, a fabric scissors, pins, safety pins, a few buttons

Mayo grilled cheese people are wrong. Sorry. A big part of the appeal is the nuttiness of browned butter on the outside of the bread and while you may get the browning with mayo, you don't get that browned butter flavor.

It's 100% believable in light of what a shithead he was to Lily Allen, too.

Advent Calendars that count down only the days of December and not the actual days of actual advent, an actual church season whose length varies, bother me liturgically.

Man, Jon's gonna be stoked that he got to be at the Broncos game when they beat the Raiders tonight. His most hated team.

Just had a fun little panic brought on by spilling red wine on the yellow couch because I tripped on a dog, whee.

Helping my kids with an assignment about federalism, they say they can't talk about marijuana policy in a middle school class, lol.

If you have ever wondered how I became Sarah the Mother Shucker, tap through to this thread.

As requested: current cookbook collection, lives in the shelves built in next to our fireplace. The three-ring binders are full of stuff I rip out of magazines.

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/

Every time I go to the thrift store, I leave with at least one cookbook. Jon thinks I have too many, but I am a chef! And the cookbooks are always $1.99! What am I supposed to do, just LEAVE the Dorie Greenspan book there?

I question any parent who lets their kids consume this dead-eyed creep's content.

making Jacob the stereotypical Bluesky user is the rudest and truest attack anyone has ever made on us

Trump has been touting the cost of the Walmart Thanksgiving meal bundle as proof that the economy is doing well, noting it's cheaper than last year's bundle. But @allansmith.bsky.social compared the two, and there's a catch: There's also less food in it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I'm gonna be so mad if our pre-Thanksgiving trip gets canceled.

My church is collecting Thanksgiving meal bags for the nearby Title I elementary we partner with. Everything on the checklist including a $25 gift card for the protein or other perishables, and I threw in a pie crust even though it wasn’t listed: $65. Idk how Target is claiming a meal is $40.

Obviously if I take this return to the UPS store, I deserve to stop at the thrift store for some shopping before I hit the grocery store to fill a Thanksgiving food bag for my neighborhood elementary school.

“It’s racist,” said Alex Sanchez, president and CEO of Voces Unidas, a nonpartisan organization that mobilizes Latino voters. “It is unbecoming of an elected official."

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

At least Dr. Oz seems to attempt to provide some medical care. RFK peaces the fuck out immediately. As a frequent fainter (heart defect), I recognize the "elevate the feet" thing.

Not only is oyster farming one of the few ways to farm a protein with no food or fresh water inputs, it now seems like farming oysters also helps restore wild oyster populations:

Yesterday, DIA said it had asked the FAA to allow it to pay its air traffic controllers with airport funds during the shutdown with the hope of getting reimbursed when the federal government reopens.

The restaurant sells pecan pies for Thanksgiving every year (mini ones are always on the dessert menu), and this year Chef announced that 100% of the pie proceeds would go to a local food bank. Pies sold out in like an hour. Wow.

NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang

Denver International Airport today requested a waiver from the FAA to allow the use of airport revenues to cover the wages of air traffic controllers working without pay. The airport would seek reimbursement after the shutdown.

I get that the general reaction to Jones' of VA's texts is "well who hasn't wished ill upon Republicans" but what I'm not hearing is: is a guy who is unwise enough to send such texts TO A REPUBLICAN wise enough to be an attorney general?

We had already passed universal school lunch a couple of years ago, it just turned out to be more expensive than originally projected, so then we had to pass another tax increase on people making $300k or more to fully fund it.

A lot of people from outside of Colorado are missing this important detail: We had universal free meals already, and have for a couple of years; this measure was about funding them so they could continue.

Who could have foretold that a hard right turn would piss off the kind of folks who buy expensive electric vehicles:

If you are “Team Pete” and name searching your guy to randomly comment on my posts about how I find him inauthentic and annoying, AND you manage to throw in something about being an introvert: I’mma block you.

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was "that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

supreme court poised to side with "No We Shouldn't" in landmark case "We Should Shoot The Economy In The Head For No Reason v. No We Shouldn't"

Aurora, Colorado's most diverse city, has largely been run by the GOP for decades. Many if not most were fairly moderate. 2025's clean sweep by progressives may reflect Aurora's dim view of MAGA and local ringleader Danielle Jurinsky's turn-it-to-11 style, on display here:

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.
