Between chilly weather (finally!) and a feeling of doom, I'm feeling the carbs, so I've decided to start a bake-through of the new King Arthur Big Book of Bread. First up: Focaccia #BreadSky

people, you have the chance to put my book ahead of Olivia Nuzzi’s on the bestseller list. put aside all other considerations and think how objectively funny this would be. #1, that Mountain Goats guy. #2, Antivax Man Has My Heart. funniest list of the century. We can do this if we try

Nobody wants to tell young men to just grow tf up—not when there’s money to be made in telling them there’s “a masculinity crisis” and “it’s just such a confusing time for young men, right now.”
Is it really a confusing time for young men? I mean… more confusing than it is for young women? Or is everybody just constantly telling young men it’s a confusing time for them?
Essay: A senior at an all boys high school on the appeal of the Tate brothers: In a confusing time for young men, they offer “answers that are appealingly simple.”

if this is accurate it would be a worse special election result for republicans in a congressional stronghold than any special election under trump 1.0 (other than possibly roy moore)

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.
All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

7 million Americans protested against Trump’s tyranny on a single day last month. Just thought I’d remind folks since major media seem to think it’s a one-day story and a photo gallery instead of overwhelming evidence that there’s growing mass resistance to the regime.

This is a drum I’ve been trying to beat (and get into an essay), but writing is as much about thought process as output, and writing code isn’t actually any different. Exporting that part of the process to a machine is just going to lead to spaghettified code and unmaintainable code bases.
When I see LLMs pitched as a guaranteed productivity tool for software engineering, the is the counterweight I keep trying to get people to seriously engage with and not handwave away is the future cost, and “oh everything tech gets cheaper” isn’t an answer. Services don’t and LLMs are a service.

I don’t like being referred to as a Yankee but I’ve realized this is not at all because I’m Southern, but because I specifically resent being associated with traditional New England Protestant culture and its flavorless foods
All people from the U.S. are Yankees. I say this as a person born and raised in The South because pissing off That Specific Kind of Southerner is a moral good.
