If #DungeonCrawlerCarl could work this into the next book as an alarm trap song, it would make my day: "Reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2006 it's Laffy Taffy by D4L."

I read something about #footguns and this image popped into my head. I swear I've seen this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it so I AI-slopped one up. It keeps me humble if I remember that a non-trivial fraction of people misusing my feature implies bad design cues that docs can't fix.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

I'm in the gym this morning and they're playing a music channel I assume is built into the TV "Hits 1." Generic pop love songs I don't recognize. Between EVERY song a disembodied Temu Antonio Benderas says "Only the best." Swap in AI music and this is world building for a #blackmirror episode.

You can make an Old Country Brazos offset smoker cook evenly edge to edge by adding a baffle that directs most heat and air upwards right by the fire box. The 3 biscuits right by the fire were only slightly more done than the rest.

Recipe 6: Nui Nui (aka Pupule)
Donn Beach via Jeff “Beachbum” Berry

The Story:
This one goes by two names. It originated as Pupule but changed to Nui Nui before it got on the menu, minus an ounce of rum and a dash of Angostura.

“This is an enormous heist. They’re just backing the truck up to the government in front of all of us. A massive bailout to the crypto world,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the GOP crypto bill.

There's no better climate charity to support this year than the Climate Science Legal Defense Fund, csldf.org. I interview their leader on how the organization is preparing for the coming attacks on climate scientists from the Trump Administration:

Recipe 3 is up! I think I'm gonna make one of these tonight.
Recipe 3: Planter's Punch

The Story:

This Jamaican cocktail is the prototype for pretty much all exotic/tiki cocktails. The proportions of sweet, sour, booze and spice can be used for a lot of variations; the rums you use in this one dictate the overall character of the drink.

CJR gave me the opportunity to write the story I've so wanted to write about the wave of liberal anger with the NY Times, Washington Post, et ilk, over campaign coverage, quoting many journalists and exploring theories.

From sanewashing to false equivalence, many readers have had it with their favorite news publications. Editors would do well to listen.

WSJ: SALT TYPHOON has held access to the networks of numerous U.S. broadband providers (incl. Verizon and AT&T) — potentially including USG lawful intercept programs — for months or longer.

To say this is spectacularly bad is an understatement in the extreme.

If you're a live musician that is still performing a mic check after about 15 minutes without performing any adjustments to the mix/amp, you've crossed over into some sort of mic check performance art.
