After watching countless baking and cooking competitions Iโ€™ve come to the conclusion that there are only about 100 professional chefs in the world, but there are infinite bakers.

Iโ€™m really not sure what to make of this book. Quite a lot to wrap my head around. And in.

I think itโ€™s strange that so many voters didnโ€™t realize that the guy who talked about wanting to fuck his daughter was into some really amoral sex stuff. But then I remember this isnโ€™t really about pedophillia for republicans, itโ€™s about a loose cannon thatโ€™s used up his worth.

The cover of Fugitive Telemetry by Martha wells. It depicts a big robot with many appendages walking next to a littler robot-guy.

I realized early on that it was just a Chandler/hammet-esque detective story and that I donโ€™t need to focus on the complicated plot and just follow the dialogue. Combined some of my great appreciations.

Oscar Isaac Was โ€˜Not So Open to Working With Disneyโ€™ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said Heโ€™d Return to โ€˜Star Warsโ€™ if Disney Does โ€˜Not Succumb to Fascismโ€™ Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, Iโ€™d be open to it, although right now Iโ€™m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

The cover of Alias Big Cherry, by Robert H. Adleman

My grandfather wrote this book, Alias Big Cherry. Itโ€™s been on the shelf in every home Iโ€™ve ever lived in. I finally read it. Iโ€™ve read most of his booksโ€”this is my favorite. Added intrigue for me because he references himself as โ€œa reporterโ€ throughout the book.

Some things Sean Hannity and his guests said over the last two weeks about the NJ gubernatorial: "very competitive," "that race is closing very fast," it's โ€œtighter than ever," "New Jersey could be a shocker tomorrow."

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go โ€œthis is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesnโ€™t understand normal sane Americans craveโ€ and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like โ€œLeprechauns are real and Iโ€™m going to cook oneโ€

I think the field goal uprights should actually be closed on top. And every time someone kicks it through, it should shrink by 2.5% of its total size.

I would have gone for it as Kansas City but remember that a chip shot FG right before the half isn't as bad as it is otherwise because you don't get the benefit of pinning the defense if you fail on fourth-and-goal.
