This is going to be my new pinned post: a thread of family recipes, with photos of the finished product, for my own future reference, posted as I make them.

Let me know if you try any of them!

Right on cue for the once a year that seems to be the norm here, Fig and I just caught a mouse. She cornered it behind the bathroom door and I caught it with a cup and tossed it outside.

Last time was right at a year ago, give or take a couple days.

people like Sabrina Carpenter saying essentially "decent people don't want the stench of ICE or this White House anywhere near them" to an audience of millions that includes a lot of young people helps empower them against ICE while reminding ICE agents that everyone hates them, both big wins
look deleting the post is obviously stopping the actual ICE raids but every single bit of pushback matters bsky.app/profile/airb...
Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

This so obviously violates the constitution that I feel like taking it up can only mean bad things.

Overturning birthright citizenship will create stateless people pretty much immediately. After that, it will be a path for yanking away citizenship of non-white people and any and all dissidents.

This - and it's not just a ~ bad four years~. What they're doing now is inherently changing our political infrastructure, and a lot of it's going to be locked in for a decade or more.
The default posture of the Democrats to the GOP is the “fever will break.” That’s been their stance for over 40 years, meanwhile the fucking patient (America) is almost dead.

Mark Kelly is being directly targeted by Trump and he’s responding to those threats - good! - but then Kelly goes and votes to confirm one of Trump’s judicial nominees.

Why would you actively help your abuser? Come on, Dems. Show some damn courage and insight.

Every elected Republican was a united front opposing and criticizing everything Obama did for 8 straight years, even if it was a policy they fundamentally agreed with. Why. In the fuck. Is it asking too much for Democrats to do the same with a legitimate fascist?
Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before

but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

Once again, it is a huge problem that if you were to straightforwardly describe what the government is doing and saying to someone who hasn’t been paying attention, they would think you were an obvious liar
I don't think normal people have any idea that the US Government just talks this way now.

It's not just Trump and some rando podcasters (which is bad enough). It's our government. In a democracy. Ours.
This is a message from an official, tax-payer funded White House account, written by government employees barred by law from engaging in partisan politics

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

NEW: The Trump Justice Department failed to secure an indictment today against New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Grand jury declines to indict N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James, less than two weeks after the first case was dismissed
Federal officials failed to secure the new indictment against James, whom Trump has targeted, after a judge said the previous one was secured by an unlawfully appointed prosecutor.

When I traveled in China I had to get a letter from my editor confirming that I wasn’t on assignment and wouldn’t be reporting while in the country. I was also advised not to travel with pens or notebooks.

Days after Donald Trump fell asleep during a televised Cabinet meeting, the president on Thursday again dozed off during a ceremony to mark the signing of a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

like we knew they were lying but the EXTENT to which they were lying has actually, sincerely, shocked me

I feel sick thinking about this, especially given Megyn Kelly and all the other absolute ghouls at Fox News who have been SALIVATING over this
Hegseth's "fog of war" claim is nonsense, if this account of what video shows is correct: The two men obviously were visible.

Tom Cotton's claims also in doubt: Rep Smith says drugs not visible. The decision that the men were still in the fight looks very shaky:

TRYING TO FLIP” THE BOAT MEANS THE BOAT WAS CAPSIZED AND THEY WERE SHIPWRECKED IN THE WATER.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Midwesterners: the Casey’s app has a different free item w/ purchase every day until Christmas Eve. Today’s is a Bang energy drink. Probably won’t be worth it most days but worth checking just in case.

Also: I’m fairly sure that last year they were just FREE, no purchase required. They got stingy.

Hegseth has to be charged for murder for this because every day we get a new Fox News clip of some ghoul just SALIVATING over getting to kill some civilians right out in the open and they could not be telegraphing more clearly how many more of these they want to do
