Made a 9x13 tiramisu bc halving the recipe seemed silly. Replaced the 2 eggs with 1c extra heavy cream bc I couldn't be bothered making a meringue. Made some additional sideways substitutions and ground some chocolate into the cocoa topping. It won't be as delicate, but it will be good.

There's nothing like a cat plastering himself up against the patio screens to generate enough impetus to finally staple down the loose sides. A raccoon caused that damage easily a decade ago and we and the other cats just lived with it, but Frankie has no chill.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Called Tom Kean Jr again because I have little individual power but I can at least talk to a person and theoretically they will log the call. I do feel like the strategy behind calling is broken with the breaking of our government.

The amount of confusion re Real ID and the SAVE Act is surely intentional. A regular Real ID only confirms identity; US citizenship isn't required. The SAVE Act specifies Real ID that confirm citizenship. There's only 5 states with that, and they're optional. The star is not enough for the SAVE Act.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

Having a mayor support ICE so much that he wants to send a chiding letter to the governor and state attny general, despite the fact that ICE is refusing to see that detainees receive due process before they are disappeared, is not exactly a comfortable feeling as someone who is not yt.

Is Tom Kean Jr really just sending the same form letter out to respond to every call? I need to do a comparison of these emails because nothing in them was specific to my concerns whatsoever. I've been limiting my calls to a single central issue and they aren't mentioned in any of them.

Since cocoa is going to be an issue, it's time to test out the vanilla wacky cake. But vanilla is in the same boat so a different flavoring needs to be tested: herbs, molasses, etc. The principle is simple, without egg a cake lacks strength but a modest 1 layer cake doesn't need a lot of structure.

I've gone a bit 🤷♀️ with my veg garden. I keep combining cool weather mostly brassica seeds and sprinkling them around every few days. This is not how to succession sow! Meanwhile my favas and peas are finally breaking ground and the new persimmon tree has buds. So at least spring is still springing.

Hey, while the urge to stockpile is totally understandable please spare a thought, and some $ and time if you can, to mutual aid efforts. Stockpiling isn't a option for many and food banks, and programs like Meals on Wheels and those that get locally grown food to schools have already been cut.

"We thought he was being rhetorical" isn't the flex people think it is. He did or tried to do all these things last time. Are children in cages so easily forgettable? Intimidation? Lies? Tax cuts for billionaires? Attacking services that help everyone? The sheer incompetence? And yes, even tariffs?

They keep kidnapping LEGAL RESIDENTS and throwing them in ICE prisons in Louisiana because they believe they'll get more favorable decisions for Trump under the 5th Circuit's jurisdiction (which has mostly Republican appointed judges).
NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility.
1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken.
A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

The Kean teletownhall was 34min of full throated support of the current admin, Musk, & DOGE, a bit of spin on ICE kidnapping pple, and dodging around the uncomfortable bits of the budget disc. Since there's no follow up & all the questions are screened, there's neither accountability nor nuance.

All of these signal chains are government records. Are they all downloaded? Being properly stored? Transparency in government matters; apparently, it matters so much that this crew was willing to compromise highly sensitive information in order to avoid it.
Putting a reporter in a Signal chat where you’re planning airstrikes, that’s careless. Sharing information that puts our pilots' lives at risk — that’s reckless.
