and, they'll boost electricity generation and distribution costs in tandem with this so nobody feels left out. more opportunities for profit-taking.

This is so awesome. I just got all teary. Thank you, and keep it positive!

oh. my. maybe I just close back out of Bluesky and read no further. Once again, thank you for doing this....

what's the worst that can happen?

When I used Windows/PC for work, I knew ~60% of keystroke shortcuts; never really used a mouse. I've been all-Mac for 11(?) years, and haven't bothered to learn most of them. Sometimes I tap a "wrong" key combo and interesting stuff happens.

Dear Jorts, I'm glad you said everything is fine. Also, if you haven't yet, please consider getting your blood pressure checked. It's fun! They put a tiny cuff around your tail up by your bum. Everyone will tell you how good you look with it. They'll get a little data. It'll be cool.

Ha! We should replace the snowblower we did *not* bring when we left Maine. Thad'd cause the storm to die out, right?

Remember the eggs and berries - this storm calls for French Toast.

It may be my fault. We finally cleared the snow from the gate into our backyard this week. Coincidentally, it was so the rodent bait stations could be serviced...

as painful as it is for you, please try to bear it so we don't have to...

we call it "creativity" in our home.

between this and fp Andrew, we have proof that democracy can work.

yeah, I never put dugar in my batter... [see what I did there?] Seriously, this is an interesting idea; we're planning to make the italian equivalent of crêpes soon, but this is even faster.

Danke schön. We'll try these soon, post international pancake day and in honor of Lent?

So, this works without a leavening agent (baking powder or baking soda)? Or, perhaps, you use a flour with added leaveners that is more common in parts of Europe than in the US? → Asking for my husband who thinks this sounds great, and for me who does the pancake-making.

he could read the phone book and it'd convert me on the spot.

huh. if, true, very glad they're adapting to the environmental aspect. To limit wreckage due to the mud, perhaps January would be even better timing (only half kidding here)

All too brief, the 2026 #BM100 has ended with no finishers. What a ride, with all credit to @keithdunn.bsky.social for the updates and commentary. Also, it's a fun community that comes together here once a year for this.

ah, 2026 Barkley Marathons, we hardly knew ye....

those ears!

the caliby in front is 100% our Ping, except Ping's tail was short and wouldn't have reached that far around.

amen. nice to not have any possibility of dot-watching for this.

I dunno - fog always amplifies the cold for me.

holy crap

this is like some old fashioned soap opera!

I cannot believe that I missed the first 13 hours of the #BM100. That's what I get for being riveted to the last hours of the Atlas Mountain Race. At least this won't overlap with the 2026 #ITIAlaska

Hoping for subliminal info on this ..

he's not even "ours," but for 40+ years, I've considered him a national hero...dare I say our guidestar if we'd only listen.

well done by Springsteen. Also, for people interested in more, there's this from Billy Bragg, friend of labor and foe of fascism: youtu.be/IKOW2ZikGW8?...
