Blunts. We see you, witty writer💚

I’m a New Yorker and bought/subscribed to the Times from 1977-2023.

They lost me.

The value and significance of Wordle, Spelling Bee or the full archive of recipes is as NOTHING, compared to their perfidy and normalization of the grifting lout in (what’s left of) the White House.

A crumble topped apple pie, also called Dutch apple pie.

A year of #GoodMorningFromSaskatoon. A photo almost every* work day from Oct ’24 to Oct ‘25. Blue sky and clouds, sunlight and street lights, sea smoke and fire smoke, advance and retreat of the ice, sunrise at 4:45AM to sunrise at 9:15AM… so many things to see from this one spot (*210 pics) 😁📷

Now I am furious.
I feel we were robbed.
Damn.

Mixed fruit + tiny bits of candied peel are perfect at Christmastime.
I used golden raisins, dried cherries, the peel (homemade) and mixed spice in the rich dough.

What's funny is people said the ballroom would never be done because the construction clearly required doing major demolition work and he had promised not to touch it. I don't think people get this whole 'lying' thing yet.

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

the endpoint of chatgpt and other llm chatbot interfaces is a cohort of people who don't really live so much as they are on a sort of guided tour of their own lives, who have more or less totally abdicated agency and responsibility in favor of a step by step template of how to pretend to be a person
