you put the bacon on the pan that’s going to go into the oven.

you start heating your grits water to boiling while the oven is heating up.

while those are happening, you mix the batter for your pancakes.

cook bacon, grits, and pancakes all at once.

eggs go last as other items are finishing up.

I haven’t had notifications on my phone in a decade. A list of exactly five people can break through my DND if they call twice. This freaks 1) millennials 2) Gen Z 3) students out to no end.

I don’t know how we ever thought this was okay but then again I’m old.

meanwhile that great men in history argument is nonsense. he’s rationalizing “not looking backwards” because it protects his self image. i’d bet a therapist told him something he didn’t like, so he went the “i’m smarter than the therapist” route but expanded to the whole practice of therapy.

usatoday isn’t but other outlets are.

that bit about ol boy not being the first to call for the boycott is the “press” way of making sure we know that him “calling off” the boycott is nonsense.

that context was in the usa today piece but not other outlets because @jguynn.bsky.social is a real one.
