I specifically decided not to follow political accounts here, and I'm sticking to that. Screenshotting TFG and posting it here is going to force me to unfollow, if not block.

Unidentified masked agents with guns are hunting down people and kidnapping them off the streets, and parents are being ripped away from their kids. And what is Speaker Johnson afraid of? A naked bike ride.

Yes it is!

Yeah, I found the recipe a couple wks before I had everything. I have quinoa around most of the time because I sometimes make homemade breakfast bars that call for it. Oats, quinoa, millet (I never have millet so I just add extra oats), a few other things. Really tasty! LMK if you want that recipe.

Not at all. Chopping a couple veggies and cooking the quinoa were the things that took the longest.

Made a quinoa and chickpea salad, but whoa, way too much onion in this recipe. Unless of course you like a lot of onion. Half an onion was too much for me.

I hate when they talk about what they're going to talk about later.

D. D. Syrdal @ddsyrdal.bsky.social · 18h

And how. Even if you make your own pasta, who knows if the flour you buy is safe?

D. D. Syrdal @ddsyrdal.bsky.social · 19h

Signed up for a Zoom chat on detecting fraud for writers (scam emails, etc.). So far it's a waste of time, just talking about how criminals operate, like we don't already know. I clicked out.

I would say it's another reason to cook your own, but who knows if the sauce you buy is contaminated, or the meat for meatballs, or the parmesan cheese... You can only make your own stuff up to a point.

Antarctica may have passed a climate tipping point of no return, scientists are warning, with mounting evidence that a sudden slump in sea ice formation since 2016 is linked to human-induced ocean warming.
