Hainan Chicken Rice - The Woks of Life Hainan Chicken Rice is a classic dish beloved by people in Singapore and all over Asia. This recipe takes some work, but it's worth it!

I mean, the cooking methods can get wild to impose the flavour, but that’s the output.

So much cooking is meat + vegetable + rice/ noodles + roots and/ or spices. Skip the meat step for vegetarian.

I’ve said it before, but weekends really need to add an extra day if the purpose is to go back rested.

Why is it the smaller the house pet, the more space they take up on a couch?

Yeeep. I recommend giving @hypervisible.blacksky.app a follow. Has receipts for all the writing on the wall.

Oh lord, just had the horrifying thought of this paired with tech's implicit reflection of societal biases (h/t @ruha9.bsky.social ) and things are going to get so much worse for minorities of all kinds as we deploy this bullshit, isn't it?

BlueSky is the worst for reading lists. Seriously.

Stop constantly giving me new material to check out. I’ll need to reach immortality to actually finish it all at this rate. 📚

Meta won’t let morality get in the way of a product launch What a great time to add facial recognition to everything!

“Just because you are outside of your home doesn’t mean you have consented to having a random bozo collect your face and your name, the latter of which can enable them to search for your digital presence or even home address. The act of existing in public should not carry those risks.”

Three panels showing a bench on a small hill in London on a grey drizzly day. A man in a fedora carrying a suitcase arrives, then he is joined by a woman carrying an umbrella and a man in dark glasses reading a newspaper. They all look shifty and hurriedly converse: "Good." "Very." "Agreed." Then they all walk off down the hill. Caption: Every month, the Espionage Book Club discuss a classic work of spy fiction at a clandestine meeting. To minimise the risk of exposure, infiltration or surveillance by hostile agents, conversation is restricted to the essentials.

I love all the replies to this!

We need a Geneva Convention for banning LLMs in war. And everywhere else but especially war.

May March greet you like a quiet head-boop of reassurance.
May the world slow down, soften up,
and treat you with the kindness you deserve.

I was going to say…

The elder millennial existence consists entirely of alternating geopolitical and financial crises

Yep. It’s amazing for the U.S. had decades of soft power and literally tossed it out the window.

China is (wisely) picking it up.

Maybe they’re just a Hamlet fan?

The library once again points to the "Duh" section of the collection, formerly known as the history section.

Wondering how much my mental health would improve if I were locked in a library for a week with food and coffee but no internet.

If the weather gives you a day, that’s typically when some of the flowering trees start in the Public Gardens. Offhand, end of April into May is my favourite time to visit.

If the weather doesn’t hold, Neptune Theatre any time of the year.

Hello USA listen just to remind you that the Ides of March are on the 15th

Every barista I know deserves a raise. ☕️

K-pop Demon Hunters is a treasure, and agreed.

Sam Altman picked a hell of a day to basically urge the world to trust the morality and legal restraint of the Department of Defense
