In other news, I’m playing with garlic fermentations.

Here’s the starting pic from Wednesday.

1. Salt and a dash of water.
2. Salt and a dash of veggie culture.
3. Honey.
What I need right now is a great cover album of Irving Berlin and Cole Porter’s tunes. It’s been a decade or more since Tony Bennett did his fabulous duets.

It’s time.

Don’t know about you, but I needed to zone out today for a bit. Instead of stewing in BS, I made a Basque pumpkin cheesecake and a killer French onion soup.

My only issue is that I live solo so I’m contacting my neighbors to offload some of this.

The early 90s was MY time to work in Hollywood. I was newly sober/clean, young, and making great friends in the sober community that hooked me up with jobs.

I worked mostly as a PA and later a stunt double and it was cool.

I’d say, we don’t care where you go, but you can’t stay here. However, we know they will go terrorize another city.

Live your life so that the people your bosses don’t have to apologize to someone’s husband for what you did and they let you get away with. JS

Ma’am, you are 86 years old, give the rest of us younger women a chance and STF down.
Trumpettes founder Toni Holt Kramer said “we need a change” from politics and so she will begin discussing “the new rage” of “mature women with younger men.”

Toni: “I think that’s kind of interesting. I’ve been doing some research on it.”

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Noam was doing Epstein the “right” way.
Noam Chomsky’s emails to Jeffrey Epstein display none of the fawning chatter found from, say, Larry Summers. And he does not appear to have been co-opted by whatever access Epstein provided.

What the Noam Chomsky–Jeffrey Epstein E-mails Tell Us
Chomsky has often suffered fools, knaves, and criminals too lightly. Epstein was one of them. But that doesn’t mean Chomsky was part of the “Epstein class.”

Are you in Mesa County, Colorado? Your public library board is about to be overtaken with extremists.

Get to the board meeting TOMORROW to speak up and out about what's going to come if these two get appointed.

Not sure who needs to hear this but I actually left my house today on my own.

Here’s my conclusions:

Ulta is fun in a way that makeup counters and Sephora is not.

Aldi’s is different and has affordable masa.

Sprouts is even more expensive than Whole Foods which I thought was impossible.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

All for shitty heavy sour crude which is more costly at every stage to refine.
Fox News’ Chief National Security Correspondent. We are about to go to war for oil, while citing a lie as justification. Again.

Look, I loved my gran to bits, but she was a stressed out ball of undiagnosed anxiety & Catholic guilt. She deserves to rest in peace and Xanax.

Edwin Díaz has been one of my favorite players to cover. His entrances became a fun part of our broadcast — and, if we’re being honest, probably the reason you know my name at all.

Hollywood just stole a closer who was already built for the movies.

I disagree.
Replying to people by quoting their post is incredibly obnoxious, forcing the rest of us to read your arguments with randos.
It’s almost as obnoxious as subtweeting.
