Today's long procrastinated, and craved, task was refried beans. My second try. I had forgotten just how filling/satisfying a moderately sized rice&bean burrito can be. Why do I put off good things for so long. 2 pints in the freezer, 1 in the fridge.

Tomatoes! I picked a bad week to be down/inside with a cold. There is a lot of prep to be done.

Please don't start nuclear war tonight. I have a half load of sourdough and want time to savor it.

Earth just sent to space a team of 4 people, 3 men and 1 woman. And I am not seeing a SINGLE Fantastic 4 meme. The Internet disappoints.

Watched Emergency! S2E13, "Drivers" John Gage proposes mounting license plate cameras on the squad to document cars failing to yield. Everyone treats him like that is an insane idea. The sweet innocence of 1970s TV.

I’ve been saying this for how long? 🖖

I have totally decimated John Wick's dog, and anyone who says otherwise is fake news. Being a master negotiator and deal-maker, I now expect John Wick's complete and unconditional surrender. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Watching "The Invaders" (1967), S01Ep03, "The Mutation" Plot involves an alien (Vikki) who has developed empathy for others who are different. And such, she is hunted and eventually killed by her own. Unbelievable that a civilized species could act like that.

7 weeks to average last frost, and the main tomatoes are seeded in the basement. I have an experiment variety that I need to plant, but forgot which one I'd chosen until I checked my planning notes. Soon.

Gardening baby steps. I was going to start tomato pots today, but found I didn't have much starter mix (peat & sand). I mixed up a bucket full, but it is bone dry. It'll take at least overnight for the water to equalize. Hopefully tomorrow.

On Bluesky trends, both those inside and those tempted, I will comment that today's grocery run showed 4 different brands of refrigerated pizza crust. Join us! It is easy! I started (with family) with a box crust mix. Y'all have it easier.

Wow.

Valentines dinner -- Chinese takeout and "The Aristocats." I do agree that everybody wants to be a cat.

Because lawless ICE goons are harassing, arresting, and murdering people who are citizens, you idiot.

Thanks to cellphone, and wife, alerts -- fresh sourdough bread waiting for the morning. I really need to start cooking earlier in the day.

Oops. I thought about before & after pictures while assembling tonight's pizza, and then spaced it until 2 hours after stuffing my face. It was tasty and (if you squint) almost vaguely circular. Plan was to split for small pizzas, but plans of mice and men (neither of which were on the pizza)...

It was probably difficult to foresee that Trump would put the Kennedy Center out of business.

Tonight's pizza continued my trend: not what I intended, but still good enough. Also, I believe science has shown that irregular shapes actually taste better and are healthier.

With an eye toward spring, I finally pulled all the seed packets out of the fridge and made an inventory. I was surprised to find I have 140 not-empty seed packets. Some are duplicates, but oddly some are duplicates that are all opened. I have a lot of garden prep to start on (after February).

Come on, Hollywood, enough with the Superhero movi.... Fuck, I have to see this.

Oddly, this post wouldn't allow comments . . . I lived through two software development projects that explicitly embodies this idea, one before the cliche was stated. Both failed to fully grasp the need to have an unbroken thing at the end. Just keep smashing, Hulk.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Red states always find the budget when it’s to silence voices…

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

Reminder: there are no checks and balances if no one checks or balances.

wow

Tonight in my slow nostalgia crawl -- Star Trek: Patterns of Force. That's the episode where a well intended historian, oopsied, and recreated Nazi society. We were warned. Warned at so many levels.

These @gavinnewsom.bsky.social memes are giving me such joy! Don’t poke the bear! #JoyfulResistance

My name is Jonathan Nez. I’m the former President of the Navajo Nation. I am running for Congress to defeat MAGA Republican Eli Crane, flip Arizona’s 2nd blue, and take back the house. Repost this, give me a follow, and let’s win this.

Fact-Checking Trump On Crime theonion.com/fact-ch...

A bit of context for the rest of the world. (I'm mostly from the DC suburbs.) Trump is a little boy from Queens. NYC and DC have been at odds FOR DECADES. He hates anything and everything about DC, just because. NYC thinks DC is dirty and primitive. DC thinks NYC is corrupt and uppity. Etc.
