I think we need to let go of the idea that defaulting to a state of happiness or even contentment as the norm in the current timeline is something we should expect from ourselves and other people.

Staying in the peace of the present moment is very difficult. understandable to struggle with it.

now feels like a test of whether those who say they’re just antizionist and not antisemitic actually demonstrate that

i am currently roasting chestnuts in the oven for the first time ever, and all i've learned so far is that prepping chestnuts for roasting does a number on your knife. gonna have to break out the sharpening stones tomorrow if i can fit it in.

not a fan of the recent update that immediately hides posts you block. typically i only want to block a single person in the conversation but for some reason it nukes the entire thread from my feed.

i also want to be able to block an account AND choose "show less like this" and now i can't.

had some homemade chicken stock that needed to go, so i brunoise'd a bunch of vegetables that were also on the turn (bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, radishes) plus half of a persimmon, roasted them off in a pan with EVOO and dumped in the stock. let it reduce, added dairy in the form of a garlic

The numbers in here are hilarious.

Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%

Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B
Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

fucked up biryani today. good news: i fucked it up in such a specific way that i'm pretty sure the next version will be a whole lot better!

(problem was really mostly temperature control and some imperial-metric recipe amount shenanigans. also me not preheating my oven when i was supposed to.)

Are you someone who claims to be a “trans ally”?

Cool! Here’s your new test to see if you actually are a trans ally for real or just for “social media clout.”

Stop playing Fortnite.

(In other words, Fortnite is adding a transphobic authors work into Fortnite)

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺
