It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Got a pullman pan for Christmas so I can try and replicate the shape, softness, and crust of store-bought loaves. We started milling our own flour and the kids like the taste but are thrown off by the shape and crust.
Not a bad start-- this should make a good grilled cheese! 🍜🍽️

Shout-out to my MIL, who will almost certainly keep up her tradition of buying multipacks of random things at Costco, wrapping all but one indiviually for different people but then leaving the final one in the original packaging and wrapping it up like it came that way

It’s truly astonishing how many people who are attempting to sell a piece of furniture online do not provide the dimensions. Like…it’s most of them. How does this not occur to you as information a potential buyer will need

Wrapping up Shroud by @aptshadow.bsky.social . Once again he finds a way to tell a story I could have read 100 times before in a way I've never seen anyone else imagine it. I don't know how he finds such new and fascinating angles on classic setups.

Where's Norman Rockwell when you need him
Spotted a 60-something man on the beach reading Olivia Nuzzi’s “American Canto.” His wife is nearby. She has Mar-a-Lago face and is wearing a trucker hat that says “Sun. Yoga. Champagne.” She’s been watching a live cam feed of her front door on a comically large tablet for the last 20 minutes.
