You guys know what to do.

After a few months of trying different recipes, this sourdough sandwich bread is committed to memory and works every time.

Elon's minions are caught red-handed exporting confidential federal data for Elon's private use. This is a felony. And it's going on all across the DOGE operation. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Very excited to get notice that my signed copy of @fallofcivspod.bsky.social will be arriving soon for the east Atlanta Fall of Civilizations club 😉 @hstros.bsky.social

Five owner-operated businesses just filed a new lawsuit challenging the so-called Liberation Day tariffs in the U.S. Court of International Trade—with the help of Liberty Justice Center and @ilyasomin.bsky.social. Case to watch: libertyjusticecenter.org/wp-content/u...

@hstros.bsky.social I just realized - this is a classic Egyptian Obelisk. The biggest ever and from 1884-1889 the tallest in the world. The original plans also called for a collonade which was omitted during funding. It makes for a great CHRONOLOGY question

Well, God seems to be getting a bit hot under the collar about how humans are fouling their/them creation. Maybe it's FLOOD 2.0 to wipe out yet another disobedient generation. I'm just spitballing it here but your God is speaking

Proud Extortionist and Grifter, Donald J Trump Donald Trump wants Kyiv to hand over its natural resources as “payback” in return for weapons delivered by the previous Biden administration.

@llbearcat.bsky.social Good to see you!

This is pure malice

Pundits hate simplicity. If something is simple you don’t have to have pundit expertise to explain it. Trump Cabinet now has a public record as the stupidest Cabinet in history. This isn’t complicated. They are stupid rich people. Any analysis that doesn’t begin with their stupidity is stupid.

A true heater 48 hours for The Onion, in my unbiased opinion.

🚨BREAKING: A three-judge panel in the North Carolina appeals court ruled Friday to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters in the state’s Supreme Court election unless they can fix their ballots in 15 days. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump focuses on playing golf at his properties every extended weekend he is president. Why? He can charge the US taxpayers about $3.4 million for each golf weekend, taken in through exorbitant fees he charges the US Secret Service for his protection ($1,871/day hotel rooms at Mar-a-Lago, eg).

I know 2025's bingo card is already a flaming mess, but just noting I didn't have "Liam Neeson upskirt panty shot" on my 2025 bingo card. The wee little wry OJ Simpson gag got me, too.

Third attempt at EM yielded a non-quite English Muffin, I'm calling it the English Muffle. A perfectly adequate griddle biscuit in the English-style I'd say Recipe grantbakes.com/5-ingredient...

It's finally up on YouTube! Episode 19 @fallofcivspod.bsky.social Thanks to @paulmmcooper.bsky.social for 19 spectacular episodes of exquisitely composed and narrated history

Today is sourdough discard cracker day

"They do it to us, so we do it to them" Trump said during yesterday's announcement. That is Trump’s mantra except in his case, his life-long buffoonery, braying and incompetence in real estate usually meant I'm going to screw you because you screwed me...because I said so! See you in court

Born during 315 CO2 ppm era. You?

My antidote? Benidorm and The Vicar of Dibley

Yesterday's batch was an affront to English muffins everywhere. Today's batch is in the home stretch and looking much better. @dorothyfranzoni.bsky.social
