a lesson for the kiddos. you can look old and still have a very long time left. it’s called mid-life for a reason =)

justice and playing politics are not compatible. full stop.

obviously playing politics trivializes the horror of the actions because it means they obviously didn’t care enough to take action as soon as possible.

we’re so deep in red/blue sportscasting that this very basic moral point is now invisible to most people. it is undoubtedly felt, but no one can even name it anymore.

fuck that

nothing says “the democrats are a legitimate party and not just playing electoral football” like waiting until the end of october to pursue damning claims against their political opponents

this shit is undoubtedly true but let’s not pretend the democrats give a shit except as points

no. they should be put into an open air zoo with glass walls and live-streamed cameras everywhere. all their material needs should be met, but they will be allowed no clothing and no privacy for anything at any time, always aware that they are never anything but watched by billions who hate them.

a process is what it does, or, in this case, doesn’t

the eu is a neoliberal project and always has been. two things can be true.

it’s community run

this shit makes me so mad

not a terrible idea. there’s more than one way to make these things inviable.

dumping a pile of human waste on them would be at least partly effective.

the world’s richest man, backed by the full military and economic authority of the united states, israel, and russia, is probably relishing how much “he’s getting himself into.”

the dude is probably creaming his pants at the thought of being the ancap god he’s always wanted to be.

so’s trump, and yet here we are

i have news for you if you think there are going to be red states and blue states for much longer.

this is literally a scene in the movie “brazil”.

no, i want the complete specifications for critical public infrastructure to be public so there are no secrets at all

are you saying am/pm change happens one second after 12? because no, they happen at the instant of 12.

my first loaves looked a lot like this. this is underproved, which is why you have that big gas bubble at the top (overproved can look similar sometimes, but will have a shaggy crumb). even if it seems to be taking forever you gotta let it prove until its done.

i’ve had proofs go 12 hours or more, especially on cold days. it’s nerve-wracking sometimes. but, in the worst case, if it overproves too much, just make focaccia.

hth!

eta: young starters can take a long time to prove, as well. so the more mature your starter gets, the easier this becomes. when my starters are strong, they’ll treble in size in like 4-6 hours, and that’s when i bake with them. my starters are also quite old at this point, since they were born during the covid lockdowns (the starter baby boom).

yes, apparently. see: wilhoits law. conservatism has driven out every other political ideology

if you’re buying the dip, that’s you

i love my pullman pan, too. i use it for sourdoughs that are destined for sandwiches.

technically they work

turns out “technically correct” is the worst kind of correct

this is correct in a fashion. when he says “we” he means “everyone”, as you say, but to him, “everyone” means him and his allies. he says “we” in this crowd of people, but the crowd of people do not understand that, to him, they are nothing but objects who are there to adore him and adulate him.

that’s why he doesn’t even think twice about saying these things. it literally does not occur to him that this crowd can do anything other than praise him for taking so much for himself.

some time ago, trump was about to take off with some press on the plane, and before it takes off he wished everyone a great flight, then followed up with, "You know why I say that? Because I’m on the flight. Otherwise I wouldn’t care.”

if you want a deep look into a narcissist, this is just about as raw as it gets. not just that he thinks it but that he has no qualms at all about saying it. he simply says it because he wants to and nothing else matters.
