"But the beauty of primary elections is that they reveal the preferences not of consultants or talking heads but of actual voters... And this year, those highly engaged voters aren’t as interested in heterodoxy as they are in total disruption." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

When the team with 3 guys who went to Villanova on it pulls off a miracle

going to be rainy tomorrrow but I'm ready for the show in Seattle!

Listening to Dylan series of dreams: I was thinking of a series of dreams Where nothing comes up to the top Everything stays down where it's wounded And comes to a permanent stop Wasn't thinking of anything specific Like in a dream when someone wakes up and screams Nothing truly very scientific

thread far better than the link imho

baking with rye flour should come w/ the warning that you'll be spend lots of time getting dough off your hands, and every surface, tool or bowl that it touched.

No wifi kindle battery low rebooting In flight entertainment system since not working could be a long 10 hours

Apparently I am on the very first direct Alaska flight from Heathrow to Seattle. Should be fun!

Morning run in Milan evening Pils in Berlin not a bad day.

overheard in the airport bar: "I'd like two glasses of sauvignon blanc." "are you traveling with someone? Are they over 21?" Long pause. "She's 92."

Just discovered my 10.5 hour flight will not have wifi; good thing I've got latest books from @marthawells.com and @shannonchakraborty.bsky.social, as well as a few episodes of Daredevil season 2. I may make it!

From me 😊: Yes, but: More visibility is a blessing and a curse. Like Odin trading an eye for wisdom, seeing more comes with a cost: the burden of sorting a signal from noise. In a fragmented environment, judgment matters as much as access. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

I love many things about the writing of @nnedi.bsky.social but the thing I love the most is the absolute sense of place I get while reading her work. It is not my history or future she writes about, but she makes room for me to participate, to be amazed, to learn. ❤️ What a gift.

A cool-ish May sunday night in seattle so I'm slowly caramelizing big batch of onion to go with the greens i got at the farmer's market, Monday won't be any more fun but Sunday will end with smiles.

I've bought at least five books in the past year, just from seeing them here.

So here is the creepy part. THE YEAST COLLECTED AT XBOX HQ MAKES XBOX LOGO BREAD. I have no idea how this happened. It’s a miracle and so creepy. Ancient aliens and shit. Ok good night. Try some baking. Play some games. I love you, I’ve got your back. 👊💚

whomst among us could not benefit by having more gremlins and goblins in our lives.

Just can't believe it is only wednesday

just in terms of sheer mind boggling grit and talent, it is hard to come up with something better than placing 3d in the Marathon des Sables over 150+ miles in six days and then running the Boston Marathon and qualifying for the US Olympic Trials a week later; Des Linden is the GOAT.

Another great piece by @anildash.com here -- 100 percent agree, when we do our best work in communicating is when others can carry the message forward.

my view is a constant search to find my peeps. I was on bulletin boards, fidonet, usenet, AOL, and so on -- it's not about giving up on social media, it's about trying to stay one step ahead of the algo.

I've been working on my "non-fussy" bread, as in it is 11 a.m. and I want some bread. :) This is a yeasted sourdough, 10 percent rye, 40 percent wheat, rest white flour. 1 cup of discard, 2 t of yeast, 2 cups water, 1T salt. 90 minute first rise, 45 minute free form second rise. No stress yums.

Was out on a long-ish for me bike ride in the glorious sun today and started to bonk; stopped for coffee and a pastry at Blue Ridge Coffee House (yum) and got a quick selfie with this bad bunny. Smiled all the way home.

baking as therapy.

ran out of cranberry beans so am being forced to use navy beans, only because I couldn't find the Marine Corps beans at the store.

DAY 1 of induction range: ooh, don't want to scratch the surface with my cast iron, i'll use this mat designed for that. Day 2 seems like it works! Day 3 sear salmon. Spouse: I smell plastic burning. Me: can't be. Me: cleaning up after dinner staring at badly melted mat....ugh.

never seen wordlebot whiff like this.

Still standing. Did not totally botch the leak soup thing. Appreciative this thread is here and not on Instagram which could have been bad.

i do not often cook with leeks, reflections. 1. Leeks are very dirty little veggies and they hide the dirt well, even when you think they are clean you will start slicing and discover they are not. 2. Thinly slicing leeks makes for a lot of leeks, much more than expected, i hope they cook down?

TGIF y'all. www.linkedin.com/pulse/under-...

Today I learned that if you leave a GU packet in your cycling jersey and then run it through the wash, the packaging will not rupture and destroy the washer and force you to disclose your mistake to your spouse. Thank you GU packaging team.

"we dream. we love. we jump. and sometimes we fall. sometimes our hearts are broken....I tried. I dreamt. I jumped." what a great message from a phenomenal athlete/human being.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

ngl, this looks like pretty good advice (my mom just gave me her original better homes and garden cookbook from i dunno 65 years ago). If you find me laying on the floor of my office you now know why.

by far the best ad came via Marshawn, not even close.

This is the way.
