As someone who has always liked getting recipes online because of the variety available I recently started looking to cookbooks more (and my always trusted sources like @chefjohn.bsky.social) because of the amount of pure slop online

Note on the Comey dismissal. It is entirely normal that the judge did not touch on the merits. She dismissed based on a threshold issue and didn’t need to reach them. Much of that is likely to be addressed in the inevitable Rule 11 sanctions proceedings

As a member of the Missouri bar licensed to practice in law in the state. Bring back the wig. (But also he probably shouldn’t be a judge anymore for reasons)
Judge Matthew Thornhill's burning love for Elvis Presley prompted him to occasionally wear an Elvis wig on the bench — behavior that a judicial conduct commission cited in calling for him to be suspended and then resign. Court documents say he agreed to step down after nearly 20 years on the bench.
Missouri Judge Who Wore Elvis Wig in Court Agrees to Resign
