For anyone saying what? and curious:

Homemade Labneh - Love and Lemons

Labneh is a soft Middle Eastern cheese made from strained yogurt. It's thick, creamy, tangy, and rich, and, with this recipe, it's also easy to make!

I’ve recently become obsessed with making lebneh! You just mix a little salt into some Greek yogurt and leave it hanging wrapped in cheese cloth on a stick over a bowl in your fridge overnight.
Total heaven rn w/ the late summer tomatoes. So so good.

Seems clear there are some other (p 25) reasons for those things other than distraction.
But also, minus some shocking details, it seems pretty easy at this point to deduce what is in those files. And yes I’d say it’s a multi presidents, many powerful disgusting men scandal of a few lifetimes

Jason Kander @jasonkander.bsky.social · 3d

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Yes! I’ve always just used the Apple podcast app, and now that I’m aware some people are getting these same podcasts via video on YouTube I’m surprised Apple hasn’t incorporated the video version into the app so you could do exactly that

I was stunned hanging out w/ a friend and her sister who told me she only consumes podcasts on YouTube. I’ve obviously seen the video clips on the socials but had previously only ever considered them like radio. So it seems it is a thing! She gave the impression it has replaced daytime television

Omg. was not aware!
Many moons ago when it came out I was very fond of the album Heartbreaker. It did some time on repeat. I guess I’m glad I didn’t keep up after that 😿

If you are into making ice cream and you do it often sure, but most people do not need one. Like sure also if you make your own pasta you need a machine

There is a pretty small amount of things needed to do the vast majority of personal cooking. The rest is capitalist junk fodder

I realized I got old when the expression “youth is wasted on the young” made a different sense to me.

not against the youth just a momentof being flabbergasted , via chatting with a youth, at how fucking hot you were, as youth affords, and that you did not at all understand when you had it

Like 80% of dateline etc. outcomes is the boyfriend/husband killed her when she wanted to leave. The other 18% he was having an affair and would rather kill her than end the marriage and set her free.

As a kid I was always a bit worried America would invade us one day, never in a million years did I imagine they’d wage war on themselves to this degree first.

JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."
