Apple-Bourbon Bundt Cake for first holiday party of the season. From Melissa Clark in NYT Cooking. #baking #bundtcake #bourbon #holidaybaking

This is like if Tyson stopped selling consumer chicken. RAM is about to cost as much as a brand new pc. The cost of everything from tablets, to phones, to laptops will skyrocket. All because AI data centers are consuming all the available RAM they can get. www.pcgamer.com/hardware/the...

Got my advent knitting ready! Cast-on the toes for my first DK socks. Using my 2023 Always Be Kind Yarn Advent (yes, finally) and the Dawn and Dusk Sock pattern. Let’s see how many days it takes to fall behind 😂 #sockknitting #knitting #advent

Finished my longest standing WIP! My Habitation Throw by Helen Stewart started Dec 7, 2021 using my 2021 @gooseyfibers.bsky.social To Kill A Mockingbird Advent. It was a great pattern and so glad I picked it back up. #knitting

Finished my Nightshift by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social in @spincycle-yarns.bsky.social. Definitely cozy season now. #knitting

The Pepto Bismol and Cheetos Westknits Mystery MusiKAL is off the needles. Notwithstanding questionable color choices, I really enjoyed the design. Now to weave in the eleventy hundred ends. #mkal #knitting

Mozart, Ravel and my new Nightshift at @laphil.bsky.social

Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Anyway if you’re like me it’s a good night to cancel a bunch of recurring Democratic monthly donations and increase my monthly recurring donation to @runforsomething.net

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

We can't vote Schumer out until 2028 but we can make him being the senate majority leader a litmus test for 2026 candidates. Every single Dem senate candidate should be forced to go on the record and state they will not vote for him as majority leader.

If @schumer.senate.gov can’t hold his caucus together he should be removed from leadership. @democrats.senate.gov

No health care, no deal.

Took a break from finishing my MKAL to finish these gift socks. In Always Be Kind Yarn, Inclusive Pride colorway. A quick soak then they’ll be off to the recipient! #knitting #yarn #knittedsocks

Bucks County ousts ALL Republicans from the Central Bucks and Pennridge school boards after both school boards were ground zero for anti-trans policies in 2021. The wave is receding.

Remember: Cuomo promised he would leave NYC for Florida.

JD Vance says his wife isn't a Christian. At least they have that in common.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

If you’re moving out of NYC because Mamdani wins, first of all, you actually won’t leave and you’re all talk, but if you do, shit is too crowded here anyway, so 👋 -From a lifelong New Yorker

Just, chef’s kiss from AOC.

Don’t worry about Barron Trump dropping out of college. He can just do what his shady mother did and LIE about getting a degree.

And if he can get Bill Ackman and half the NYPD to leave the, all the better.

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

Buy my knitting patterns and help me donate to the CLDC!

I can’t wait for the day that Stephen Miller is tried and convicted for committing war crimes. Someday it will happen.

I really liked my color choices in the skeins and was pleased after Clue 1. With Clue 2 now done I’m a little less sure. I always view the MKAL as a process knit so no big deal one way or the other. The blue looks different in each section but is the same. #westknitsmkal

After many fits and starts, due mainly to not having brought right equipment on the road, we finally have Clue 1 done. Fingers crossed 2 is less fiddly.

What if I’m voting for Katie Porter because she walked out of interview on Leni Riefenstahl’s network? Don’t do propagandists work for them.

Two down, four to go.

And so it begins. Westknit MKAL 2025

Ahhh Naples…. now there’s a place… (posted for an audience of one)

I wish more journalists would note that Senate Republicans could just change the rules and pass their spending bill right now. But the GOP wants a shutdown.

Ready for Westknits MKAL2025 with yarns from @treehouseknits.bsky.social Murky Depths Dyes @lesgarcons.bsky.social Ella Rae and Patricknits. Mohair dare to spare. #knitting #westknitsmkal

Kristi Noem are Corey Lewandowski are doing adulterous ethnic cleansing the right way. by Ezra Klein

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

I have never seen a festival of hate like what is happening in Arizona today Every speaker sounds like they want to genocide more than half of America

Finished my first Beaniefaction by @slipslipsis.bsky.social a free pattern for a quick crochet beanie. This one headed to @knittherainbow.bsky.social to keep LGBTQ+ youth warm this winter.

My congratulations to Sarah McBride for her trailblazing role as the first transgender Kyrsten Sinema

LOL

Remember when

He's alive, so I guess we're still legally permitted to point out that Ben Shapiro is a glib, nasty dipshit whose success is a testament to the abysmal intellectual standards on the right.

No notes

it’s extremely important that you understand how dumb Brett Kavanaugh really is

Since the very first assholes appeared in the assholiverse, throughout the lengthy, destructive history of assholery, we have achieved the apex, the apogee, a government almost exclusively by, of and for assholes, the first truly pure assholocracy the U.S. has ever seen.

After getting shot Charlie Kirk is -10 with independents. None of this “we’re going to call your boss and get you fired” stuff is going to work the way they want it to.

I think the regime is exaggerating both the popularity of Charlie Kirk and the impact of his death--I haven't had a single meatspace conversation about it.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

The Kirk murder suspect doesn’t have much of a chance to get to trial. MAGA wants him dead b/c he’s not giving them the leftist narrative they need for more violence and the even farther extreme want him dead since he seems to be one of them. Sine we know law enforcement is chockablock with
