Northern boy here. Never had baloney (or any kind) gravy for breakfast. But suddenly in possession of a giant hunk of meat I don't know what to do with, which may not have been properly refrigerated. Any cooking suggestions? Nearby fruit/veg "stand"/supermarket was selling these for $5 each. →

@georgetakei.bsky.social Happy 89th!! Congrats and many more!

And, even as they make the enterprise more and more dangerous, the "right to life" demons and freaks wonder why fewer women are trying their luck at having a baby. Not to mention that the economics and social support deficits make no sense.

Absolutely nobody who grew up in New York City (or read a book) never heard of a corner store, except this proudly brain dead, deteriorating mook:

ROFLMAO! Pope Leo's diss track! (Courtesy of the Colbert Late Show's writers.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNri...

The American Press is characterizing the Pope's comments in civil-strife-torn Cameroon as part of some intentional "feud" with Trump. While Trump will undoubtedly read excerpts that way, the full comments are pointedly about its local despot situation, generalizing other world strife as "cover."

🧵 And now for something apolitical (unless this has something to do with climate change!). Some years ago our pantry got infested with umm... pantry moths. (Indian Meal Moths, to be exact.) Since then, I've taken to storing everything in glass or plastic jars. So, when I buy a 25 lb bag of rice →

Isn't the ENTIRE POINT of revealing that an alleged child sex trafficking operation was one is to reveal that it involved the physical/sexual abuse of children?? AND THEY'RE SUPPRESSING ACTUAL PICTURES?!? PHOTOS! Maybe VIDEOS?!? Not only abuse, but of PHYSICAL INJURY, including DEATH??!??

The guy who just flew to Hungary to get involved in their politics tells the Pope, who is from Chicago, Illinois to stay out of US politics.

Colbert's not fooling around! Pulling out all the stops! New song, "Antichrist Superstar!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZYR...

@riley-rogerson.bsky.social C'mon. It's been 7 hours. Fix this. There weren't any pistols involved! Two of something is DUAL.

It's Official!! Trump has not only schismed the GOP, he's using their email to formalize the MAGA Party! (NB: The no-tax-on-Social-Security thing is complete bullshit. At most, it's a sop before they slash benefits!)

Trump has jizzed the markets again! Crude oil is up 9% and the S&P 500 is down 75 points. Pound and Euro are both down, too. Every time he opens his goddamned mouth, his goddamned insiders make millions playing the futures markets! NOW the US is blocking the Strait of Hormuz?!? How is this legal?

Crispy-fresh from the Bloomberg News livestream of Hungarian election results. Orban is OUT!!

I'm no expert, but none of this looks like AI to me. For one thing, that's her old nose. AI would have probably based it on newer pics of her face.

I'm sure Zohran Mamdani has some faults. (Maybe?) But so far, it's hard not to love the guy, not just for how he does things, but for what he does. Positivity and vision. Can't get enough! And yes, sometimes it's just the small stuff.

No time for "presidenting." Just in case you thought he put any thought into the job... Trump is not a serious man. He's a manipulator, a scam artist, and a flibbitigibbet.

An analysis of Melania's very odd speech, suggesting she was throwing Hubs to the wolves, or at least trying to save herself when they take him down! www.thebulwark.com/p/melania-th...

Hahahaha! NY Times games pages are offline. Not before I solved the Wordle, though.

So, what's with the $5 tomatoes? Does this have anything to do with $6 diesel?

Yeah, okay, so Artemis II's circumlunar arc put them further from home than the previous record, but still in Earth's gravity well. We're not heading to the stars. It was just 1.6% further. Artemis II: 252,760 miles Apollo 13: 248,655 miles The closest Mars gets is about 34 million miles.

I have a question. Why is a Singapore-based for-profit company being given access to the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve in order to export our oil to other countries? What part of "Strategic Reserve" am I missing??

Commodity price of crude oil is very odd, not least of which is the fact that we aren't net importers of oil. In normal times, WTI (West Texas) is typically a few bucks less than Brent crude. Brent is North Sea (UK) oil. So where is it going? Time to ban exports?

Tonight's dinner, a gluten-free pizza, with marinara sauce, mushrooms, squash, onions, peeled tomato, mozzarella, romano, & parmesan. Crust is just a big flat arepa made from Colombian masarepa (precooked white cornmeal).

Cool. So if someone "frags" Petey, it's all good, amirite?

Indeed. HUGE difference between walking the walk and talking the talk. @prisonculture.bsky.social

As a former donor to John Fetterman, they added me to his email list to solicit donations for his reelection. I hit "Unsubscribe" SO fast! I can't regret supporting him vs. Dr. Oz, but that Fetterman is gone, and so is my support. Who's our best primary candidate for his seat?

I'm making up a word: Hypnocracy Definition: Government by those who hypnotize the public with repeated lies and assertions through tone-of-voice and waving of hands.

Springsteen would make a much better President than Trump. At least he's proven to actually be successful at something.

🔥 💥 🔥

re: Creating monuments to himself and playing golf during war Is Trump dying? He's mentally bent in multiple ways, but does he accept his mortality, and think it's soon? Whatever's going on with him medically looks serious. Why can't we have the details? Congress needs a hearing on his fitness.

Trump opens his big bazoo in a primetime speech, and futures contracts on the Dow 30 plunge 500 point in afterhours trading. Are we tired of so much winning yet?

Marc Elias absolutely pummelling Trump in court, in defense of the right of all Americans to vote! Even if Trumpty-Numpty had GOOD lawyers, they couldn't beat THIS: www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/u...

What could this be, other than market manipulation? People are making fortunes on these volatility swings!

Oh, shit. CDC ended their labs' rabies testing services. Meanwhile, here's my nightmare about a REAL zombie apocalypse developing: RNA viruses can recombine with each other. If a mammal has two different ones at the same time, you can get a hybrid, say CoViD-19 + Rabies. White-tail deer could be →

All I know about Iran's President based on this letter is that he seems to be a better man than ours -- more literate, educated, intellectual, emotionally grounded, and sane. Ours is like the bad guy in a comic book. x.com/drpezeshkian...

Trump's legal beagle, John Sauer, isn't faring too well in front of SCOTUS. The Chief Justice just slapped him down. To which, let me add, if you argue these people are not "subject to the jurisdiction of the US" aren't you granting them absolute immunity to all US law? You can't touch them!

Considering what inconstant piece-of-shit "friends" we are, we're lucky NATO isn't taking the step of permanently ending our base leases and troop deployments on European territory. Although, I wouldn't blame them.

Closing paragraph from a Bloomberg News story about Trump's waffling and frustration with his Iran War. He tells our allies "you'll have to start learning to fight for yourself." Considering Trump is the one who created this trouble for our allies, maybe they need to be fighting him/us!

"...worry about how the information will be used." Ya THINK?!? What does a government asking for a list of Jews remind you of? C'mon. Anybody?

Hospital food is hospital food for a reason. Ill and convalescing patients have different needs than the general population, and professional medical nutritionists need to base institutional menus on individual needs and practicality. Hospitals serve their patients. Bobby Brainworms needs to STFU.

I hope Rick Wilson will forgive me reposting his morning newsletter, but we could all use a bit of hope on this Monday morning in Hell. Titled: "The Dead and The Dying" Subtitle: "Let's help global autocracy die." part 1 of 2

One of my favorite signs at the NYC march:

On this No Kings Day, it's worth remembering this monarchist outrage from the distant 9 days ago. King Donnie Dingleberry is no President, because current American Presidents are never depicted on our coins! wapo.st/4bPQdXg

What the WHAT?!? When did this snake oil huckster get nominated to head up Medicare???

"US Signals to Allies No Immediate Plans for Iran Invasion" -- headline on Bloomberg News story. Meanwhile, 5000 troops of Marine Expeditionary Forces and 2000 of Army Airborne are headed to the Mideast. That seems a pretty big "signal." Remember, Trump LOVES to play with his "toys."

Not that anyone really needs this to understand Hegseth, but one more tidbit of evidence that Hegseth is a White Nationalist Patriarchist Nazi scumbag.

Hey, Trumpsters! You know that 50,000 Dow Average your intrepid/insipid leader measures his "success" by? It's fallen by another 1000 points over the last few days. Now in the middle region of the 45,000s

Here's another story linked in today's Above the Law newsletter, and it's a doozy! abovethelaw.com/2026/03/jay-...
