their only move is escalation and their only strategy is to try to make people afraid and every single thing they do has the opposite effect

congratulations, you're making icons out of ordinary people and turbocharging your opposition
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Finally got a good bake on this one after numerous variations. It starts as a biga using about 40% of the total flour (KA bread flour). The final dough is a mix of bread flour, spelt, and Bob’s Red Mill gluten flour to counter the spelt tendency to flow

It’s great as toast or with PB&J

I’m very excited to be back at WildCare for my volunteer training today

I was very active here 15 years ago, eventually becoming a shift supervisor but a move across the bay and other life stuff made it impossible to continue

It’s great seeing some familiar faces after all these years!

⚒️🧪 Looks like the Mendocino Triple Junction at it again!
At this spot, three tectonic plates come together, and since they're all moving in different directions and at different speeds, there's a lot of activity. This area has M6+ earthquakes more often than anywhere else in California.

Getting ready to bake a Pan Gallego de Centeno (Galician Rye Bread)

This is from The Rye Baker by Stanley Ginsberg, a must have book for rye fans. It’s an 85% hydration rye dough so really hard to wrangle. Like shaping glue

I’ve done this twice successfully and one spectacular failure

🤞🤞

I finally had time for bread baking today. I went for a family favorite, Harvest Grain Bread

I like to bake this in an uncovered Pullman pan as slices from the taller loaf are a better fit for our toaster

A strong, prolonged, very moist, and relatively warm #AtmosphericRiver event, in conjunction with rapidly-strengthening #BombCyclone (yes, that's the term!), will bring major rain (and, locally, wind) impacts to OR/NorCal this week. Flooding is likely. #CAwx #ORwx #CAwater [1/6]

Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/
