Decided to try my hand at making the Walnut Maple Buns from Dessert Person since Peter had time for breakfast today.

When I make a new recipe, I normally start thinking of recipe tweaks as soon as I process the first bite. Nope; no notes. These are fire 🔥

Sombra putting her stamp of approval on the sweet potatoes for tomorrow. She takes her role of dishwasher very seriously.

(Full disclosure - the spatula is in the sink where it belongs)

Who wants to bet he’s kicking himself for this 40 year old memo?
Footnote from the Comey dismissal: Three days after Congress enacted the 1986 law, an Office of Legal Counsel ("OLC") memorandum authored by then-Deputy Assistant Attorney General Samuel Alito concluded the statute does not allow "the Attorney General [to] make another appointment pursuant to [subsection (a)] after the expiration of the 120-day period."

I don’t know why I bother making the bed every morning when I inevitably see this within an hour. #DogsofBluesky

I may have been in a giddy menace mood last night when I found a bunch of stickers in my purse of my friend’s foster kitten reacting to Sombra.

There may or may not be a few more of these slapped on posts in the East Village…

Love seeing the ducks that hang around the inlet in the park. Please enjoy some ducks.

Ok one more Sombra timeline cleanse before bed because this was too cute.

Daily reminder that this beauty is still up for grabs. I don’t have the money nor the skill to transform this into a Bubba effigy, but I’m sure one of you guys knows someone who can.

@pearlmania500.bsky.social, could this be part of a HBDT monument?

Between this and watching Trump want to make out with Mamdani today, he’s emotionally exhausted huh?

Wait, is this how he got Trump to throw Stefanik under the (soon to be free) bus?!

Fuck yeah - it is a happy Friday now. Let the vibes and the Costco Bordeaux floweth.

I know in my heart of hearts someone can turn this into a very tasteful art instillation 😉

@theonion.com, you need some office decor or something?

Take Miley’s advice when you’re feeling down and buy yourself flowers 💐

These might be my favorite arrangement yet!

Bought Sombra a present when I went to Trader Joe’s this morning.

I think she likes it: she’s been keeping it close for her afternoon naps 🥰
