Any cooks out there that have / know about good cookware will find this fascinating. The enshittification of almost everything. But a list on what's still ok, so there's hope. @nethertonfoundry.bsky.social for instance is doing great craftsmanship.

Testify and Raga Against the Machine, maybe more relevant than ever...

If only we had health systems as good as Bangladesh, India, Uganda and Vietnam. But we'd rather make sure big pharma and health "care" insurers and providers make maximum profit.

Beyond awful. The intention was always to inflict as much pain on as many people as possible. The cruelty is the singular point of the Republican / MAGA / Trump Party. Not one of their voters deserve anything less than open scorn, they're simply bad people.

Oh my... The MAGA are even further gone than I thought they were. Jeezus, the ignorance is truly astounding.

This is interesting, not perfectly accurate but better to be approximately right than precisely wrong. - Warren Buffett

🎁 "Michael Selig, the chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission that regulates prediction markets, has also touted drug-trial contracts as a potential way for sick people in need of medicine to hedge their future treatment costs." What a completely screwed up country.

Let us pray...

Wow, this is quite something but I'm not shocked. I've been reading books nonstop for let's just say a long time, still put away 20-30 a year. It's wild to think that the age of reading is just a blip.

Everything they do is vile, now they've got national park rangers doing insanely bad things. This is beyond awful, pretty hard to respect any ranger that would obey orders like this. #ETTD.

Well played...

As a man who respects women, Mr. Truscott is on point. There are tens of millions of men in this country that you would not want your daughter, niece, ..., anywhere near.

Damn... This is fucking Musk, Thiel, Sacks wet dream, the US now a fully white nationalist shithole.

Neat little article on how we got to the insane number of hot sauces and salsas we now enjoy. I still remember when it was only Tabasco, Pace mild salsa and I think Ortega or La Victoria taco sauce. I'm about to whip up this with my habaneros.

This is pretty scary, Christians calling out the incredibly toxic Christian Nationalism that is a huge base of the MAGA. Think Heritage Foundation, Russ Vought. Bad, bad people.

You literally cannot make this S up, as @lawyeroyer.com so eloquently lays out this latest thing that should have gotten both these asshats fired in any sane country.

@davelee.me is not wrong on this. The US is pretty damn close to a fully failed democracy and a completely and totally corrupt country, meaning the federal government and msm media. It's all dirty and will not end well, every day is another wound.

This is pretty cool. Think about all this fruit just going to waste because of some shitty clause in a contract. We have way too many bad lawyers and bad actors. Props to Cesar and Yuliana Mora for doing a good thing.

If you've missed it today, this is an all time keeper from the best of us.

One for our Canadian friends and music fans. @choirchoirchoir.bsky.social is such a cool thing. I suspect @lynnmaccanada.bsky.social will likely know this one.

Interesting short read for those on the downslope. @ucsanfrancisco.bsky.social is one of the great medical schools and hospital systems in the world. Interesting that the shingles vaccine has proved significant.

This seems really bad. And no, I personally don't trust any current regulatory agency at this point. We're close to something catastrophically bad on many levels as all safety regulators are gutted / eliminated.

AI is going to make a monster like Zuckerberg and his predatory platforms seem tame by comparison.

🎁 Full blown ethnic cleansing. This will get worse, much much, worse... Not much to be proud of at 250 years. The brutal, informal end of the experiment in democracy.

🤣 OMG, the replies... Dude in the back is gonna be famous.

She's so good and wow, you'll just have to read it... This is the "Great" American State Fair brough to you by MAGA Incorporated, soon to IPO in the biggest grift yet.

Pretty neat little trick for I'm sure much better hummus than my usual, although not bad. No legit mediterranean joints here.

Zeldin may be the absolute worst of all of them. He will go down in history as having killed millions of Americans in service to his masters, the Oil/Gas industry. It's all about the Benjamins from here on out.

These MF'ers are literally wreaking havoc on the markets and front running / day trading war now. I'll guarantee Nutlick and his spawn are the ones running a lot of the money for the Dumper. Pump and Dump...

🧵 OMG... 🤣😂🤣 The replies are priceless. The kids are going to tear Texas a new one as it were. It's going to go off the rails bad.

Fully agree. If you can, this is one of the best organizations in the world. I'd really like to see at least a billion from the US government / Department of War comprised of the some of the funds they've recently stolen from the Venezuelan people via stealing their oil.

Pretty, pretty, pretty good. Anika was a fantastic choice to get the boys back out playing again. They're in fine form, I think Neil is smiling somewhere.

Massive props, what an effort to put this together. If you're a Rush fan, definite save / bookmark.

Just when I thought I could not find the MAGA / Republicans more deplorable. They honest to god have a problem with the concept that slavery was bad and demand it be reversed, this is the modern Confederacy / Klan in charge.

You give your data to Peter Thiel, you're a freaking idiot.

Too good not to put out there. Wow...

🤣

Quite an interesting thread on where the energy markets are going. Trump's oil and gas buddies that bribed him are not looking at a rosy forward outlook for exports. We're such a backward country at its core, clinging to the past and raw greed.

Excellent summarization of the new Treaty of Versailles brought to you by the Trumper. Sadly, 1/3 of Americans are 100% sure the fully demented memory care patient is playing multi-dimensional chess and fully on his game.

🧵 AI is going to be a really, really bad thing at the end of the day. Yes, it has productive uses, but I trust the bright young university students.

Wow...

Matt is not wrong on this. America at 250 years, perhaps the perfect representation of what we've become.

It's that time of year or close to it for fresh vine ripe tomatoes, fun article about one of the great sandwiches of all time.

Oh my goodness, this is delightful... Go young Leona, what a doll.

"Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked" - Warren Buffett. Margin loans are at an all-time high, margin calls hurt a lot. Leverage is fine until it's not. A lot of people are going to experience unnecessary pain relatively soon imo.

Short thread and I fully concur. What used to be before 2015 simply no longer exists. None of it makes any rational sense anymore. We are in deep shit as a country.

Some goodness from Paul Simon's former college math tutor.

I somehow suspect the now 100% corrupt US government and its oligarch masters will never do anything remotely right by the citizens that their AI networks will displace.

I wasn't even aware of this. We're so cooked...
