Dr. Oz using his government job to promote his personal brand. Decent advice about mindfulness, but it could be delivered in a non-promotional manner. Anyway, his job at Medicare is administrative, not medical.
Dr. Oz pimping himself to all Medicare recipients.

That’s a very attractive red shirt you’re wearing Admiral Bradley

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

My sister-in-law sent this Resist Advent package to my MAGA wife. She was not pleased with the gift nor with my laughing.

And while you're all avoiding the deGrayded Lady, check out two great Propublica stories on corruption.

First, about Kristi Noem's propaganda slush fund.

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts
The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

AP: Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal if Washington’s NFL team does not restore its name to a racial slur, despite decades of psychological research showing the negative mental health impacts of Native American mascots.

I haven’t been clear on whether Elon’s x.ai has access to my tax info. So I asked the source, grok.
Grok says it can’t access my tax returns, but DODGE can.
Do you have access to my tax returns? I am a U.S citizen No, I do not have access to your tax returns or any other personal financial information. That data is confidential and protected by law. I can help answer general questions about taxes or provide information on tax-related topics if you need assistance, though! 1.66s Did Elon Musk and his DODGE staff get access to U.S. Treasury payment systems? 9 𝕏 posts 25 web pages According to multiple reports, including those from established news sources like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Reuters, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team has been granted access to the U.S. Treasury's payment systems. Here's a summary based on the information available: Access Granted: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly gave Musk's representatives access to the federal payment system, which handles trillions of dollars in government expenditures annually. This access was noted to have been granted late on a Friday, following some resistance from within the Treasury Department.

Whole wheat starter. Cold oven start. Soaked the lid of my clay baker for 20 minutes. Baked for 1h15m at 450F. I live at 7,500 feet.
#baking #cooking #bread
Oblong bread dough ready for baking. There are three slashes through the dough. Dough from the previous picture after baking. The slashes have opened up and an ear was formed in the middle of the loaf.

Can anyone explain to me what the function of the Democratic Party is today and how it is serving that function?

Are they still around? If so, is there any evidence of that?

More on why arguing data with MAGA doesn’t work. Telling stories does.

"On the other hand, surprising individual cases have a powerful impact and are a more effective tool for teaching psychology because the incongruity must be resolved and embedded in a causal story.”

In Agile project management a primary goal is to create self-organizing teams.
Is that what we have here on #BlueSky?
