The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL.

There is absolutely no way the US can host the World Cup or the Olympics

I’m reading about the Dirty Pasta Water Martini. You swap the dry vermouth for actual pasta water + vodka/gin + olive brine

(hopefully you make this when you are also eating pasta for dinner)

You’d think the garnish would be skewered penne, but it’s just olives 🫒

recession drinks?

Elon Musk’s Starlink Is Keeping Modern Slavery Compounds Online A WIRED investigation reveals that criminals who make billions from scam compounds in Myanmar—where tens of thousands of people are enslaved—are using Starlink to get online.

NEW: Elon Musk’s Starlink is being used at scam compounds that have fleeced billions from people around the world, a @WIRED investigation shows

I agree. It’s should make us furious that the free press we look to for signaling starts to normalize this behavior. Does money matter to them more than country?

It's absolutely insane that Elon Musk and his wrecking crew are saying they're firing entire swaths of our government infrastructure and the press are just like "oh that's sad but what are you gonna do, guess they're fired." It is batshit crazypants, and it's being covered like normal policy choices

One of the better chocolate chip cookie recipes I’ve tested! From Delectable Cookbook. 100% bitter chocolate chunks. Which I questioned, but it’s actually sooo good balancing all the sugar it asks for. I really liked the addition of bread flour!

Car companies around the world should launch marketing campaigns to offer car owners the chance to trade-in their Nazi Tes!as for new cars at a good offer. Their brand is no longer welcome. Smart brands can gain market share and help give people a solution for not feeling ashamed on the road.

Homey hearty Scandinavian style blueberry farmers cheese crepes at SMOR in the East Village. Didn’t make me miss pancakes!

All the exquisite dry aged fish really stood out to me.

Incredible fresh crudo menu at Theodora Mediterranean restaurant in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. A must try!

There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.

As long as he consented ;)

A popsicle molded into the shirtless torso and head of Daniel Craig, with a Del Monte popsicle stick on the bottom

Del Monte Daniel Craig Popsicles (2009-2009): To celebrate National Ice Cream week in the UK, Del Monte decided to release cranberry, blueberry, and pomegranate "ice lollies" modeled after the shirtless torso and head of actor Daniel Craig

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

The role of the executive branch is not to make determinations about which promises of federal funding made by Congress it will keep, and which it will not. Chief Justice Roberts wrote: “No area seems more clearly the province of Congress than the power of the purse.”

Probably just me but I hate how NOW in Google Maps the very first “photo” of a restaurant is this warp speed video tour of the dining space. I am seeing it more as their videoing minions canvass the streets of NYC.

In NYC you need to try the deep fried szechuan mushrooms at King’s County Imperial. So good. So spicy!

My chef & food maker friends are trying to get ahead of the avian flu & inflation egg/chicken crisis. Seems like good advice going around is: Make a plan now not a reaction later. Pre-purchase cases of ingredients to lock in lower prices with your suppliers soon. Find smart ways to stock pile eggs!

Hands down the my favorite dumplings and wontons in NYC at Maxi’s Noodle. Happy Lunar New Year!

So this isn’t a joke?

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

I listened to a @melrobbins.bsky.social podcast about nutrition and the DR suggested eating WHOLE kiwis. The entire thing. Skin and all for a gut health boost. I didn’t realize how much added fiber you get from the prickly tickling skin. I always threw the skin away. I am enjoying it in smoothies.

i hate that the future will look back and laugh at us
