I was intrigued by @altonbrown.bsky.social ‘s smoked reverse sear steak method and tried with a small porterhouse — seasoned with salt and pepper, then dried in the fridge. It was phenomenal. I’ve been a sous vide guy, but, having recently gotten into smoking, this might be my new favorite steak.

Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases

What the fucking fuck.

How many people cancelled because this reminded them they’d subscribed when “The Bear” came out then forgot?

‘Based on what I feel’: Trump escalates attack on childhood vaccines Trump promoted long-debunked claims that vaccines can cause autism as he called for changes to the childhood immunization schedule sought by anti-vaccine activists.

President Trump on Monday repeated false claims about vaccine safety and called for changes to the childhood immunization schedule, shocking medical leaders and unsettling Republican allies on Capitol Hill.

“This is based on what I feel,” Trump said.

How do? Seems like sites have to opt in to participate.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen PAC fully clothed.
