Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Yesterday: Roman ruins! An archaeological dog of a Roman bath house is preserved under the streets of Gijón; nearby, ruins of a villa belonging to a well to do Roman.

Last night we visited Roman ruins in Gijón (BOO their footy team but a nice little coastal city), then dined with Real Oviedo club historian Miguel Sanz. I gave him several copies of the @azulcascadia.bsky.social peña pin and he was much excite.

Today: Covadonga and an actual Cabrales cheese cave!

Your reminder that I'm here to help you pull off Thanksgiving dinner if you have questions.

Ask away.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Today has been a rest & recuperation day. Visited Santa Maria de Naranco and El Cristo del Monte Naranco, from which you get a fantastic view of the weird spaceship looking hotel we stayed in yesterday on the left (site of the old stadium) as well as the current Carlos Tartiere stadium on the right.

Just having a little post match food now that the kitchen is finally open, NBD 🤷‍♀️

Ten years ago I visited Oviedo and got to hold Cazorla's game worn jersey while visiting his favorite local restaurant. Then today this happened after the match.

(I fangirled so hard.) 😬💙

Three points! Let's go boys!

Well I was just on camera live inside the stadium for an interview in Spanish 😬

A meeting of old friends

Es el día del partido, ¿qué hacéis? 💙

I love Spain for so many reasons, not the least of which is you pull off at a random gas station to fill up & grab a bite & w/o exception they have actual silverware & china plates & cups. We know you're on the road but ffs be human, sit down & enjoy for a minute

A student at my school earned sushi lunch (brought in by his family) as his chosen reward for ongoing positive behavior. They brought in sushi for me to eat with him as well and TBH I feel like I'm the one who got rewarded here

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.

It's fascinating. Never mind moral grounds; a focus on "welfare cheats" isn't even economically worthwhile. Going after wealthy tax cheats would yield SO much more bang for the buck in terms of return on costs invested. I wonder why we don't focus on it more [editor: she doesn't actually wonder why]
Or eg why constantly means testing poor people for the few meager scraps the govt provides is a thing, while elites happily avoid billions in taxes and nobody seems to care

Thanks for the villainous sound bite, Brooke, but recipients already have to recertify on the regular so I'm not sure if the point of this statement is just to sound evil, or ignorant, or maybe both

Normally I've been trying to push these on Fridays, but I am swiftly burning through what's been donated so far. I could use some help with sharing and boosting, but especially to cover the next three sessions this month immediately. Thank you.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.
