Tonight’s no-media-admitted execution in Indiana was the 35th execution in America this year.

It has been since 2014 that so many executions were carried out in one year — and that was the total for the year.

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

My goodness, Baldwin could had written this last week.

Only a handful of the millions of people in this vast place are aware that the fate intended for you, Sister Angela, and for George Jackson, and for the numberless prisoners in our concentration camps-for that is what they are—is a fate which is about to engulf them, too. White lives, for the forces which rule in this country, are no more sacred than black ones, as many and many a student is discovering, as the white American corpses in Vietnam prove. If the American people are unable to contend with their elected leaders for the redemption of their own honor and the lives of their own children, we, the blacks, the most rejected of the Western children, can expect very little help at their hands: which, after all, is nothing new. What the Americans do not realize is that a war between brothers, in the same cities, on the same soil, is not a racial war but a civil war. But the American delusion is not only that their brothers all are white but that the whites are all their brothers.

It absolutely would. You'd just lose out on some of that molasses depth.

I can't find the recipe, but I think it's just a cup each of peanut butter and sugar with an egg.

Are you thinking of a creme brulee?

Understandable mistake, though. Duvet is also a cooking term. It's when you cook food in a pan over high heat and a little oil.

I think you’re thinking of a toupee.

A duvet is a sugary dessert that has a thin shell caramelized under direct heat

Mm… I think that’s a beret. 🧐

The fact that their ticket was mysteriously canceled the day before and then they were questioned by DHS is both one of the greatest political scandals and crises of my lifetime and just another fucking Thursday in 2025.
