Yep. The chefs don’t care if you die so they use all the butter and salt without hesitation.

Kraft mac and cheese reheated is objectively better than fresh. Can’t explain it but it was true 30 years ago and I bet it’s true now.

No idea what the polls look like but they’ve got to be pretty bad based on how much he’s embarrassing himself in the last two weeks.

It just makes me mad. What if, just once, a man didn’t publicly shame a woman for enjoying sex? Just fucking once, is it too much to ask?

It’ll definitely be entertaining. The question is when it will tip from entertaining to pure chaos. I give it 36 hours.

2 humans, 4 cats, and 2 dogs in a 1,000 square foot home. What could go wrong?

Lauren W. @livewildly.bsky.social · 23h

Me: I’m overwhelmed and want to do absolutely nothing difficult for the next 8 months.

Also me: Hey Aaron can we foster two cats and a 3-year old Husky for an undetermined amount of time?

People always send me notes asking me to schedule workshops on the weekends, but frankly when I do - they almost never fill up enough to run.

I still have FOUR FREE seats
and three "donate-whatever-you-can" seats open

this is a practice that helps us hear & share our collective intuition:

My spouse (also not Celiac) is the same. Sourdough does something with the gluten that makes is okay for him. He has a slice of toast most days and is fine.

We recently found a place that does sourdough pizza crust. It was the best day of his life. 😂

Relatedly — how do I convince people that I genuinely don’t care about following the standard, accepted rules?

Working on a large project that regularly reminds me that I was not made for capitalism. Doing it the way you’re “supposed” to keeps me awake at night. Doing it in a way that works for me makes the other people involved look at me like I have two heads.

Everett, Seattle, Tacoma, et al. folks – looking for a foster family for a dog and two cats until they’re owner can find housing again. Know of anyone?

Tori Williams Douglass @toriglass.bsky.social · 1d

Long story short they’re staying in north Seattle (Everett) but need to foster their two cats and a dog until they find housing again. If you know of any pet lovers in Seattle with a little extra space, please put me in touch with them!

We might be able to foster the cats. I’ll talk to my spouse about it tomorrow.

How big is the dog? I can ask around.

Siri, how many cars are there in the U.S.?

Even if I do notice that while I’m out what am I supposed to do when someone at the table next to me has recorded my entire conversation? Odds are if they pulled out their phone the business would kick them out. With glasses…what’s my recourse? The surreptitious nature of it makes it creepy.

“There’s a red light so you’ll know” further shifts the responsibility to the person who may not notice and hasn’t consented to being recorded. No one should have to be hypervigilant about checking the glasses of the people sitting at other tables of a restaurant.

For me it’s a difference of degrees and the degrees matter. Our right to privacy is already a joke. Making it easier for individual people & corporations to further erode it and use our likeness for whatever they like matters.

I laughed so loudly all the pets startled and ran away.

Rick Caruso’s Private Fire Crew @amandasmith.bsky.social · 2d

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

They’re cowards and they have no critical thinking skills.

I don’t know which is worse.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 5d

I asked Chris Murphy if he privately talks to Dem colleagues about why they don't sound the alarm loudly. His answers were depressing. Dems tell him they don't want to be "alarmist" or that "democracy" didn't work in 2024, so they want to stick to health care. 5/
