Hope you enjoy it

This should be great. @ariellesgarcia.bsky.social and I bonded during the DOJ trial and we’ll geek out on the remedies etc.

Shake my hand like a boss.

The two stages of latke making:

1) Fuck there’s a lot of water in these potatoes!

2) Fuck these potatoes absorb a lot of oil!

Made a weird brussel sprout tart before latkes.

Has anyone ever made French toast with pumpernickel bread?

It should be possible, someone should try it.

The greatest innovation of CTV is the ability to add closed captions to everything

Good to see you here! It’s been a while.

I tried to learn about the Korean Martial Law crisis on X and all I found was Americans thinking the second Amendment will solve all their problems

Interesting.
