Is there a recipe for sweet whiskey fuck muffins?
Well, I feel pretty good about this! The new White House Troll Account has blocked me from the profile!
In all fairness, I was going there to block them, but they did it for me. Like a public servant.
Which, is what ALL of them are--PUBLIC SERVANTS! Starting with the President!

Making pasta for dinner? Save some of the pasta water and use it in your sauce! The starches in the water will help thicken the sauce, and make it smooth and silkier than before.
Pasta water can also be used in pet foods to make a meaty gravy in dry kibble!

We've discovered a frugal tip for bathing our Blue Staffy. He's got skin allergies. Whenever we take an Epsom salt bath, we use the water to wash the dog, then rinse with clean water. The Epsom salts help with his skin condition, and we're reusing water that would have been wasted!

Oh, well. So long to the Washington Post. Self-declared "conservative opinion page" now. No Democrat, Independent, or non-affiliated voices will be heard. Just conservatives.
That's not the way to run a newspaper. That's the way you appease a dictator, hoping he won't come for you next.
He will!
‘We’re Now a Conservative Opinion Page,’ Declares Washington Post Columnist
Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen boasted on social media, Thursday that the newspaper was "now a conservative opinion page."

It's called rotating stock, my friend. See you this Sunday!
Meal planning includes the shopping trip itself. I have four stores I go to regularly, and list exactly what I need from each. Mapped direct paths for each store & make the entire trip in around 90 minutes. I know the trip will cost me around $3-4 in gas round trip. Budgeting works! #frugalliving
Now is the time to stock up your home pantry! Dry beans, canned foods, rice, pasta, dry seasonings, stock up on it now before it all becomes too expensive to buy regularly. I currently have four tins of cocoa, and add another each week. Stock up over time; it makes a difference!

Keep your meat bones and veggie scraps in the freezer until you fill a gallon bag. Toss it all in a large pot, cover with water, add 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar, and cook on low for several hours. WHAM! Fresh stock, ready for soups, sauces, or just to sip on a cool night!

Forced myself to watch Trump at the UN. He scolded the assembly like they were his employees, then treated the speech like it was one of his rallies. Shameful, on every level.
At yesterday's MAGA evangelical revival meeting/memorial, Trump told the nation he hates his fellow Americans. He hates his opponents. No subtext, no irony, just the blatant pronouncement that he hates his fellow Americans.
And, the MAGAs laughed in approval, even as they condemned violence. How?
Is this how the "men" of ICE would treat their mothers, sisters, and wives?
A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

Thanks everyone for taking action! Five websites and one app have been taken down. We just received a response with new details: while a site that was doxxing people wasn’t fully removed, the doxxing content has been taken down so the site remains compliant with its registrar.

Today the Oversight Committee sat down with Alex Acosta. What we heard only confirmed what we already knew: he cut a sweetheart deal for Epstein, silenced victims, and let a predator walk free.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target
