In which a European decides he understands American culture better than Americans.

I’m ignorant about this. Why wouldn’t the call be reviewed?

How does any of this make him a fascist?

How is he a fascist?

Hey, come on, no hyperboleβ€”he’s only asking for $230 million paid to him directly from the Treasury for no apparent reason. Big difference!

I was hoping someone would do this. I still don’t understand what happened that day.

The sole disappointment today is that I wish I saw signs commenting on the Supreme Court. Never forget that it’s the Roberts court that is giving Trump his crown.

Downtown Portland. Today was my daughter’s first protest. We didn’t make it through the entire march, but I was proud of her.

Is there an online language tic more annoying than β€œmy guy”?

I don’t recall this being their thrust at all. Can you point to any examples?

Yes! It drives me crazy when people criticize something for being in the passive voice when it really isn’t.

Ted Cruz: Gavin is deliberately lying. 

To fund the government takes 60 votes in the Senate. There are only 53 Republicans. We need at least 7 Dems. 

We keep voting to open the government. Dems keep voting to shut it down.

@GavinNewsom
 knows that. And he’s lying to you.

Again, it's very weird how everyone--Democrats, Republicans, media, everyone--just pretends Republicans can't just eliminate the filibuster and past the CR today.

From the β€œexcellent read” by a β€œtremendous writer”:

β€œWhen I was growing up, the Times didn’t reflect the truth; it was the truth.”

This is the kind of thing writers congratulate themselves on coming up with (I’ve been there), but which decent editors flag as being meaningless.

I’m afraid I just can’t bring myself to hand it to Megan.

I don’t know if it meets the legal definition, but this is sexual assault as far as I’m concerned.

My crust is usually pretty solid, but my mediocre oven spring lately has me wanting to spring my own head in the oven.

I typically have 75 percent white bread (or all-purpose) and 25 percent wheat. I didn’t realize that affects the hydration calculation.

Actually, you’re technically supposed to account for the water in the starter, right? In which case I guess I’m over 75 percent.

10.10.2025 18:45 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

My hydration is usually around 75 percent. Is that high enough for ice to be superfluous?

And if you bake in a pot (the easiest way to do it) you really don’t even have to worry about creating steam. All you need to do is toss a few ice cubes in before putting it in the oven, but I’m not even sure that makes a difference.

10.10.2025 18:33 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I do something similar but I heat the pot at 500 for an hour, then decrease it to 450 when I put the bread in.

That’s how you’re framing this, Tiger Beat On the Potomac?

No, not it β€œcould have”—it should have. Full stop.

Why would you use this image to accompany this tweet unless your aim was to confuse people?
