I made this chicken recipe for dinner last night (except I used a tandoori spice blend instead of the recipe’s blend). It was delicious, but even better tonight, cold, as leftovers! #food #cooking https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/crispy-tandoori-chicken-drumsticks-mango-chutney.html

Finally, after all this time, I am watching #startrek Strange New Worlds. Anson’s staring out with an impressive crazy-old-man beard.

@MichelPatrice found this:

In a three-day trial in 1995, Anthony Boyd was convicted of murder and sentenced to death, based solely on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment. No physical evidence connected him to the murder of Gregory "New York" Huguley. Boyd has been on death row […]

At least I remembered to buy olives when I ran to the store to get ant bait. This is my reward for finally managing to pay 2 bills.

Y’all can mute me if you want. I’m going to be loud & obnoxious for the rest of the night. I need somewhere to vent about my stupid bank changing their stupid software and driving me off a cliff.

I've said this before, but one of the more striking things about the current generation of righties is that they really show no sign of understanding that there's a world *beyond* their screens, beyond owning & being owned on social media. A real world, with real people & real problems.

And crucially of course, this is Trump himself. His world is screens. The things he does are meant to change the things on his screens. He wants to "win" the screens. That's all there is to any of this. He's not emotionally or intellectually equipped to understand the world beyond.
