"Have you ever found yourself languishing on some horrible hamster wheel of suck and found a way to change your thinking and/or actions enough to get off of it? In a world that is so filled with sadness, impermanence and pain, what makes you keep passing the open windows?" - Betty Cracker

Um, 6? 😂

Just because we aren't totally surprised, doesn't mean we can shrug it off. Decency, dignity, and humanity matter, even now. Especially now.

Years ago there used to be an 1ad on Metro buses in the Twin Cities in the winter with a picture of a Weber grill that said "This is Not a Bear - It does Not Need To Hibernate in the Winter."

I may have a stroke.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

A PROTESTant.

I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me."

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"

More than a week before his crucifixion by Roman law enforcement, Jesus of Nazareth infuriated other authorities as he overturned vendor tables at the temple farmers market and cursed at an innocent fig tree causing it to wither, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Screenshot of TruthSocial post by President Trump complaining that Mayor Frey won't enforce federal immigration law, and calling it a "very serious violation of the Law."

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

Ah, imaginary whataboutism, the best whataboutism.

You're asking me about a bad thing that really happened? Well, whatabout a different bad thing that didn't actually happen, something I've imagined? Whatabout that, huh? I'm a victim here.

OK, now that these things are balanced out, let's move on.

Bob Warden's Perfected Pot Roast Recipe This pressure cooker recipe comes straight from Bob Warden's cookbook--Great Food Fast. Makes a mouthwatering perfect pot roast!

I have a recipe for the IP that's darned near perfect - www.keyingredient.com/recipes/7081...

That's the plan for later this afternoon if I can muster the energy. Yours looks fabulous!

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Thank you, Betty. I'm proud and so grateful to have you as my representative. 👏👏👏👏👏

Minnesotans are being racially profiled on a mass scale, assaulted on our streets, and kidnapped from our communities.

Not one penny of our taxpayers' dollars should go to DHS while our constitutional rights are being violated.

A nice balance today of Trump embarrassing us internationally in the morning and ICE horrifying us domestically in the evening.

The sun doesn't set on the Trump Administration's depredations.

Get yourself an Instant Pot Mini Rio 4 quart @ $89, or a standard Duo 6 quart IP, @ $69. Rice is simple and great, and it can be used for multiple other recipes, e.g., esp., broth/stock, soups, stews, braises, beans, etc.

Well, America, we had a good run. I mean, mostly. Okay, not entirely. *flips through a history book* You know what, forget I said anything.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Thanks for the quick reply! Looking around on the interwebs I see a few FB/Reddit threads that recommend no more than 400 grams of flour for no-knead, so this recipe/your basic no knead recipe should work! Can't wait to try!
