Sorry NYT Cooking but when I see "minimal effort" in the description but then have to scroll down to "Step 11" in the instructions I start to think you don't really know me at all

It is indeed very funny to say to a computer "do a vulgar roast"
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Surely these first numbers are people in a survey reporting that they're paying more, because as much as prices have gone up, nobody's paying 85% more for groceries

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I think the most successful disinformation campaign since the advent of electronic media was probably Russia's in 2016, though Musk buying Twitter is gaining steam. The last decade has made the Cold War CIA look like a bunch of amateurs
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Bill voted to confirm RFK because he was afraid of being primaried by yahoos for going against Trump. So he fell in line. He is getting primaried by yahoos anyway. One of America's most hapless oafs.
TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?
CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.

The evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK while acting alone is abundant; it’s probably one of the best documented and clearly understood events in modern history, and anyone continuing to insist on it being a matter of debate either hasn’t paid attention or is deliberately trying to mislead.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess
