I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

When the elongated muskrat bought Twitter I expected him to use it to prop up his financials, and to sell crypto to everyone. I neglected to consider the fact that he didn't need to worry about money, but he was deeply insecure about what people thought of him.

"The way Grambo sees it, it’s a numbers game. If he can draw the attention of officers to himself, perhaps fewer immigrants will get swept up, and that’s a win. “I know I can’t stop them,” he said, “but if I can suck up their time, then at least I can help some people.”" This is the way.

The surprises keep not coming.

Doing some math in an effort to get the art right... ICBW, but... if Earth were the size of a basketball, the K-T impactor (the object that killed the dinosaurs) would be the size of a grain of sand. That's assuming 50km as the diameter of the impactor (estimates range from 10km to 80km).

I've spent the last four hours grinding very slowly on the bonus story. Here's the spreadsheet showing my progress:

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

I am truly and genuinely so glad you asked! This site is a one-stop shop for reasons why ULINE sucks ass, and a massive link list of handy alternative companies AND a short blacklist of ULINE-alikes to avoid! refuseuline.com

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

It's almost always bad, but every so often the Photoshopping or (more likely) AI-generated marketing art for junk on Amazon is so bad it's awesome.

10/10 can confirm

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

*cries at the accuracy*

I think about this a lot. What would I put in it, though? I'm not a dietician, nutritionist, or even a trained cook. I'm just a guy who, out of love and desperation, set out to give his best friend ever the ability to enjoy food while troubleshooting an autoimmune disorder.

Cookbook, Howard. Collect all these into a file and make them available in the shop.

Trump implies that Khashoggi, a green card holder, had it coming when he was decapitated and hacked to pieces with a chain saw. American intelligence concluded that MBS ordered Khashoggi's execution. Trump claims asking MBS about it is "embarrassing our guest" -- who is sitting in *our* White House.

I feel like "sunk-cost fAIlacy" is too sutble. Accurate, but too subtle.

Identity thieves the world over: "It's a Christmas miracle!!!"

This would be a great use of plain old algorithmic assistance rather than LLM-based chatbots. You can put guardrails around a regular algorithm, but not ChatGPT. Also, it wouldn't cost $100m/year, and your tax preparator won't look at the numbers and tell you to maybe kill yourself.

I did it! I came up with an oatmeal cookie recipe that @SandraTayler can have. It's 6FED-friendly, meaning it has no: wheat nuts dairy eggs soy seafood It's pretty easy to not put soy, seafood, or nuts in oatmeal cookies, but making 'em without butter, eggs, or flour is tricky.

Shameless plug: For a year, I've been working on a series about the vast systems that underlie life in most of the world. Built up over generations, these systems are the cathedrals of our time--but all too few of us know anything about them, and they're all at risk of failing. Here's the latest:

I'm working on the bonus story for the next Schlock Mercenary print edition. It's a story about sapient dinosaurs 66-ish million years ago. Of course they have domesticated pack animals, so OBVIOUSLY I need to draw what happens when one of them gets spooked.

DIRECTOR OF CORPORATE STUFF: "How can we make it easier for people to boycott multiple companies at once?" INTERN: "Here you go."

Weirdly, THIS song lyric leapt to mind: "Telling the truth is a dangerous business, honest and popular don't go hand-in-hand, if you admit that you play the accordion, no one will hire you in their rock-and-roll band." It's from the movie ISHTAR.

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it. Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

YES it was soft and delicious because I soaked the flour with a pinch of apple cider vinegar overnight right after I milled it 👩🏿‍🌾

I'm watching "Mysteries of the Abandoned" on HBO MAX, and there's a lot to like about it, but every so often the talking heads turn phrases in poor ways. Of Lindesfarne Monastary: "... it's a Mecca of Christian History." That's... not how to use the word "Mecca."

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

Name a film made between 2000 and 2010. SPEED RACER. It's one of my all-time favorites.

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

Lots of people say that science is why we have phones, and air travel, and antibiotics, but I think it's more important to recognize that science is why we have repeatable results.

Utterly uninterested by the first three bullet points, and then the fourth got my attention. Interesting.

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

Nurse: "would you rate your overall health as good, fair, or poor?" Me: "absent any sort of contextual calibration and with just three options I guess I'll say poor." Nurse: *nods* Me : "But I'm not dying. I mean, we're ALL dying, but I don't feel like I'm that far along."

DRIVE readers! Sci-fi's WorldCon will be held in LA in 2026! That's local for me, so I'm goin'! Keep an eye on announcements at drivecomic.com --& we'll organize a reader get-together & laugh & talk & be best pals forever! (And in the meantime: Get tix at www.lacon.org / @laworldcon.bsky.social )

Oh you rich conspiring pedophiles & all your smug weaselly defenders, please lecture me again about how my trans kid is a threat to American family values

"Never meet your heroes" -Proust, 1913 (paraphrased) "Never meet anyone else, either." -me, 2025 (after reading some Epstein emails.)

I am shooting my shot. I love writing op-eds. @teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you. Signed, A Black woman who writes for the public

Yesterday I finished scripting the FUNCTION OF FIREPOWER bonus story, "Refulgence of Refuge," and laid all the dialog into panels. I'm calling it "script complete" and "layout complete" despite the fact that the final panel has a note in it, "write better," which is shorthand for hang on out of char

Anyways back in olden times a red aurora meant the death of kings JUST A FUN FACT NOT RELATED TO ANYTHING

If you're not following Cat Cosplay, I hope it's because you only just now found out about Cat Cosplay. I got to meet them at Gen Con Indy, and I got paw-stamped pictures!

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Excellent counsel from a been-there-ran-from-that.

This indirectly impacts me. I won't get to vote in the new district, but I voted for the de-Gerrymandering of Utah because we are NOT an overwhelmingly Red state. Our largest metro, with the best shopping, sports, hospitals, and the headquarters of the LDS Church is quite Blue.

@levert.bsky.social Saw the like, checked the profile... what does an Emergency Management student study? (Genuinely interested, not snarking.)

I'm an Amazon Vine reviewer, which means I can order free products from time to time, but only from the Vine list, which is full of new releases (mostly crap) that need a few customer reviews. I'm not required to give anything a GOOD review, but the reviews need to be informative. So...

Apropos of nothing in particular: SHOES Per the FEMA training I took 30 years ago, the one thing that best ensures your survival in a disaster is whether you made it out of the building with shoes on. Everything else can just be scrap-wraps, but shoes are high-tech. Put them on first, then run.
