I’m getting a lot of baking stuff done over the next several days and thought “Hey, I haven’t made bagels in a hot minute!”. So I’m going to give you a tutorial of how to make bagels, slightly modified from the formula in the Bread Baker’s Apprentice book by Reinhardt. Yummy bagels tomorrow night!

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

This is not the post I thought I'd be writing today but as of this morning my position has been eliminated and I was laid off from the National Audubon Society so if you're looking for someone who has a lot of experience writing to help make the world a better place: hi.

Spent the morning with a couple of colleagues working on gathering new goose ID video at Sauvie Island. Felt weird to be in a blind with a camera on a tripod trying to shoot Taverners, Duskies and Cacklers trying mimic the conditions hunters might encounter.

obviously opposed to religious violence but I think if you are implementing an actual plan to banish the night then some kind of state-condoned moon priestess should be allowed to ritually sacrifice you, willing to be flexible on that one
A US tech bro corp in the US has decided the night sky should go away. They've made that decision for everyone on Earth.

Naturally they've named the first searing orbital array (many times brighter than the moon) after Eärendil, the light bearer, from Tolkien's work

1. To opinions! Solar is the cheapest source of bulk electricity in many countries, and the quickest to deploy, and now you couldn't stop it being built if you wanted to. The limits to PV build in most places are grid access, permitting, and sometimes installation labour.

Can someone with Canadian legal experience in privacy of minors help me out. When we attended the NoKings rally & people took our pictures, all asked permission as my son is 14 and has a disability. All but one, a right wing grifter who has now posted video of my son on their page. Thanks.
