They are! The downside though is that the more portable they are, the less powerful.

I got that second piece of advice my first year teaching and after I moved to the south. It was phrased as โ€œuse them in proportionโ€ though

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

A screen capture from Wikipedia stating that "Data showed that failure to winterize traditional power sources, principally natural gas infrastructure but also to a lesser extent wind turbines, had caused the grid failure,[15][16] with a drop in power production from natural gas more than five times greater than that from wind turbines."

As TX heads into what may be the biggest ice storm of the year, letโ€™s get one thing straight before the disinfo starts.

Solar and wind energy operate reliably in far colder places.

The real issue is simple: large parts of the grid are not appropriately winterized. When storms come, they fail.

my god. this baby. his little self.

there have been chapters this dark in US history beforeโ€”that we moved through them makes it even more damning that weโ€™re in this chapter now.

nothing short of accountability, meaningful justice, and full scale government reform can move us fully out of this one

I am more worried about war in Minnesota than in Greenland or Canada.

The US is hours or days away from civil war. This might sound extreme, but if Walz has the Minn National Guard blocking ICE ops, the usual response of the fed govt to governors using NG against feds is to call out the army. 1/

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story. How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

This is literally basic shit I teach in my security studies class. It is not possible to separate AI from its roots in militarization and securitization.

AI has always been linked with US military efforts. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has their first summer research project on AI back in 1956. AI has always been extralegal by design and the classificatory thinking embedded in AI design comes directly from military roots.

Ehhh I think this is a pretty American lens. For example, kids in Copenhagen are pretty independent from my observations since moving there and in talking with Danish colleagues

fun thing I learned at a talk last night - the average teenager has fewer than 2 hours per week of in-person peer social contact outside of school, in part because we donโ€™t let them go anywhere or do anything

So I double proof- I do a proof right after making or 1.5 hours (with a punch down half through), then shape, then another 1 hour rise before baking.

With this, I would proof, shape, and then freeze. Your plan should work to defrost in the fridge!

15.01.2026 15:09 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

So my suggestion would be to proof and shape in a prior day and freeze before proofing in shaped form. On Friday, you can take it out and let it defrost 3-5 at room temp then it should proof to double size in like 1-2 hours after that and cook.

There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

+1 Excellent work @apsa.bsky.social!
I was at a mental health first aid training this AM and hearing from grad students about how working on research 24/7 is expected and taking time off for self-care is seen as lazy, unmotivated, and worthy of censure. We need a cultural shift. #MentalHealth
