What a waste of time and as such money. They couldn’t have just asked them about it and been shown the invoice? Yikes.

Probably. I have to imagine being cut apart and then burned, makes for solid therapy fodder.

I had a skin thing biopsied and it came back with fancy words that mean Traumatized Mole (dibs on band name).
My darling husband because I did not give enough context thought I was rescuing another small animal. So on brand for me. 🤣

It’s unfair that it’s so hot and yet the juncos are in my yard. We’re going straight from summer to snow at this rate. #Minnesota

Might try that!

For funsies and to escape from reality, I have started rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Still great. Plus stabbing the bad guys looks fun. :)

Look folks. I know I seem to have my act together with regards to kitchen stuff. But I am here to tell you, I failed at hollandaise. I got my infusion for my Crohn’s and I am wiped out and off.

So, I offer you this moment of truth. Tonight I did not cook well. The mushrooms were still great.:)

Just like that. But I am the funny, not cool, buddy. :)

I found three clumps when I was not looking for them at all. Then I grabbed one and ran to the car yelling at @adamstemple.bsky.social Get in The Car! It was fun, if not well thought out. :)

A clump of tan colored feathery mushrooms sit in the grass and leaves.

Tonight I made avgolemono soup. I have never really had it. But @lollardfish.bsky.social loves lemons and was teh sick last week. So I bought the things to do it. Of course, with one parent down and an extra child it did not get made.

So today!

I have a list. Buffy, ER, Northern Exposure, West Wing(started 99), Sports Night. I have watched parts or all of these in the past couple years.

I feel like this should follow the Tom Holland Lip Sync rule. Always repost. It just makes you feel happier mid-fall.

Do YOU remember “the 21st night of September?”

Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’”

Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”

My kid informed me of this Kimmel issue. And I just had to explain the evolution of his from The Man Show to this. This is ludicrous. How is this my country?!

Dave Itzkoff @ditzkoff.bsky.social · 21d

the trajectory from circa 1999 Man Show-era women jumping on trampolines Jimmy Kimmel to 2025 free speech canary in the coal mine Jimmy Kimmel is really something

I love this for you! What a pleasant surprise. Congratulations.

I guess it probably works on people who agree.

I feel like I ended up on the wrong list somewhere. Why am I getting text messages from Charlie’s widow? I hold no beliefs that overlapped. Unless he at some point said water was wet. Yuck.

Screen capture of text message. The message says Erica Kirk: I refuse to let the movement Charlie Bill die. It will only grow stronger boulder louder, join me. Then a link.

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people?

He still has a job. No apology. No retraction.

Just let us know, Fox.

It is unacceptable to be a big tent if we don’t actually cover everyone who comes to us. We must do better at supporting our trans friends.

This is so chilling. A student reports the prof who they disagree with, and the school cuts the dean and department head and the prof? All I can think is this is just like Germany. The kid snitches and the adults get swatted. Disgusting. Higher Ed is in real trouble there.

Dan Hirschman @asociologist.bsky.social · Sep 9

Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum

The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

Note from the GBBO season premiere. So happy it’s back.

The show stopper was supposed to be a landscape. Some cakes had decorations but not land shaped. I am reminded of the time I ordered a cake shaped like Minnehaha Falls, because our friend wanted a Minnehaha cake. This was what was meant:

Minnehaha Cake, Chicago World’s Fair (1893)

Today’s recipe is brought to you by The World’s Fair Recipe Book by J.F. Landis, which featured over 600 recipes for food, medicine, remedies for various human and animal ailments, etc.…
