Joy of Cooking's best quick bread. I add a lemon's worth of zest, and about a cup of blueberries to mine.

Last night, I asked you to turn on your light if you’ve knocked on a door.

Now I’m asking you to sign up for a shift.

Take nothing for granted. We have a future to win.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I remember back in the day that the argument was that if you had a tv, a computer, a car, and/or a refrigerator you should not need assistance. These people have always been breathtakingly disconnected from everyone else's lives.

Does anyone else get post concert snippets of the music bounce around in their brain without rhyme or reason?
I have bits of Schubert's Mass in G, Peace of the Wild Things, They Are Mother, and Go Lovely Rose careening around my skull right now. And the concert was Friday.

It's one of my favorites. Have you seen Lena Horne's version with Kermit? It's so good.

You can just block stuff that sucks. You don’t have to be mad out loud or even care. You can just see it and quietly put it in the garbage forever

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

Government workers 👇🏾

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

Late, but I hope your appointment well.
Best wishes for you.
