Chocolate Guinness Cake Recipe (with Video) • 5★ • 1 hr 15 min For me, a chocolate cake is the basic unit of celebration The chocolate Guinness cake here is simple but deeply pleasurable, and has earned its place as a stand-alone treat.

I tested out this recipe today ahead of St Patrick’s Day. My wife loved it, so I guess I will make it again next week!

For 14.99/month you can get the records in real time, otherwise it’s 3-5 business days?

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Well it was (mostly) a good run for humanity on the planet. Our Pedo President is launching a war to distract from his sex crimes, and we’re all going to die in a nuclear fireball because of it.

Sign outside my church advertising the open hours for the Friday Fish Fry

Sign outside my church advertising the open hours for the Friday Fish Fry

I volunteered at my church’s fish fry tonight by being an extremely extroverted welcomer at the front door.

I am tired and will go to bed early after walking the dog

Getting rid of HBO and Paramount Plus will allow you to buy more Lego or whatever you like.

States rights unless you want to control women’s bodies, force your evangelical religious beliefs down our throats, or steal elections

We're just an audiobook app, asking readers to make the switch so that every time they buy an audiobook, their indie bookstore benefits 💓

Yeah. I don’t like remote operations days (especially when they fall on days I already work remotely!). Just give me the day off so I can build @lego-group.bsky.social !

My 50th birthday present Lego sets, the Lego Gameboy and Neuschwanstein Castle

Happy @lego-group.bsky.social birthday to me! My wifey got me a couple sets, plus a matching bow tie and pocket square, for my 50th today. Tonight we’re going out to dinner. May be a while before I build the castle, since I only build the architectural sets of places I’ve actually been too!

A humidifier on the sink in front of a bathroom mirror. The combination of small "on" and "full" lights above a wide curved vent make a pleasant smiling face and on the back of the humidifier, which can be seen in the mirror, another wide curved air vent and the two screws holding it together above it make a horrified face.

Star Trek sh!tposting. A scene from Star Trek 6. The Klingon moon Praxis explodes. Capt. Sulu asks, We just detected Praxis exploding, do you need assistance? On screen,  a Klingon official says, Everything is fine here. DOW is over 50,000. This transmission ends now.

Letter to alums Dear Fellow Alumni, Now that the celebrations of our first-ever football national championship are dying down (Will we ever stop celebrating? Time will tell!), it’s time to get back to the serious m...

I want a better IU. As a 2-time alum, I want: Whitten out; DEI programs restored; robust free-speech protections restored; and alumni-elected seats to the Board of Trustees restored.

I love IU & lament her fall under Whitten.

Alums, consider signing this letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We didn’t watch the Super Bowl, instead we watched Curtain: #Poirot ‘s Last Case. I was not ready. I already miss mon ami, Hercule and his little gray cells. Luckily I have the books! And I am devising an #AgathaChristie display and LibGuide as March’s Subject of the Month at my Library!

The CIA World Factbook is dead. Here's how I came to love it The Factbook survived the Cold War and became a hit online. It mixed quirky cultural notes and trivia with maps, data, and photos taken by CIA officers. But it was discontinued this week.

I was a student working at Lilly Library when he retired. I remember helping the Manuscripts Librarian pick up some boxes from when he gave his papers to the library. It looked like they just emptied desk drawers into a box. I took a notepad of US House stationery and blue felt tip pens!
