Eggs definitely last, but I’m frying the bacon on the griddle that I’ll then use for the pancakes. Usually two slices of bacon yields enough fat for two or three pancakes, then another round of bacon, etc. until the batter is all gone.
He’s also on this season of Abbott Elementary! He’s really having a moment.
That’s my worry. Taking on the stress & responsibility of parenting (while it definitely can be fulfilling), is the opposite of the help he needs.
YOU, YOU, YOU, OUGHTTA KNOW!!
Steamed Hams full transcript Well, Seymour, I made it- despite your directions. Ah. Superintendent Chalmers. Welcome. - I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon. - Yeah. Oh, egads! My roast is ruined. But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Delightfully devilish, Seymour. Ah- Skinner with his crazy explanations The superintendent's gonna need his medication When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations There'll be trouble in town tonight Seymour! Superintendent, I was just- uh, just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise. Care to join me? Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? Uh- Oh. That isn't smoke. It's steam. Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmm. Steamed clams. Whew. Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers. I thought we were having steamed clams. D'oh, no. I said steamed hams. That's what I call hamburgers. You call hamburgers steamed hams? Yes. It's a regional dialect. - Uh-huh. Uh, what region? - Uh, upstate New York. Really. Well, I'm from Utica, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams. " Oh, not in Utica. No. It's an Albany expression. I see. You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger. Oh, no. Patented Skinner burgers. Old family recipe. - For steamed hams. - Yes. Yes. And you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled. Ye- You know, the- One thing I should- - Excuse me for one second. - Of course. Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped. Yes. I should be- Good Lord! What is happening in there? - Aurora borealis. - Uh- Aurora borealis at this time of year at this time of day in this part of the country localized entirely within your kitchen? - Yes. - May I see it? No. Seymour. ! The house is on fire. ! No, Mother. It's just the northern lights. Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow but I must say you steam a good ham.
Today is officially the 30th anniversary of Steamed Hams. On April 14, 1996, "22 Short Films About Springfield" aired for the first time!
This morning, I became the first New York City Mayor to visit Housing Court. And what I saw will stay with me for a long time. Families on the brink of losing their homes. Tenants navigating unsafe conditions, harassment, and uncertainty, searching for justice in an overwhelming system. Small property owners trying to keep up with their mortgage payments. I met with Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas, New York City Administrative Judge Shahabuddeen Ally, and other members of the bench, and I walked through Resolution, HP, and NYCHA Parts. I spoke with people in intake, with legal service providers, and with the advocates who show up every day to stand beside New Yorkers who need support. Housing court is where the promises we make about dignity, stability and public excellence are tested in real time. In the months ahead, my team will work closely with the Chief Judge and the Chief Administrative Judge to confront the concerns we heard - directly from judges, tenants, landlords, legal service providers, and advocates.
I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
Brutal.
Agree re: Los Lobos, tho. Most underrated band ever.
idk if this was true I’d be hammering in the morning and the evening. All over this land, really.
Looks awesome!
That is the obvious answer to anyone complaining about the wrong people (too rich) getting something they don’t deserve. Just tax them more, it’s fine.
A clean example of this was when the Covid checks were sent to everyone. People who didn’t really need them paid more in taxes later. It’s fine.
As opposed to seeing taxes as punishment for financial success (which is how the wealthy want to frame it)? I agree, and we can’t repeat often enough that taxes is how we pay for the society we want to live in.
I presume you mean “we should raise city income taxes on the wealthy” and not “we should set up tollbooths at Columbus Circle and require a W2 to determine the price of entry into Central Park”, right?
Reading this thread, I feel like the phrase “charging the rich more for stuff” is vague and contributes to misunderstanding. You don’t mean “charge the rich more at the point of service”, right? I feel like you and @dkmarsh.bsky.social are actually on the same page and the phrasing obscures that.
The solve for "Sometimes when a service like free childcare is available to all, marginalized communities get squeezed out," is "Address that racism."
It's not "Therefore waste incredible amounts of time and money trying to means test something that society should just make available to all.🤡"
You don't have to be extraordinary, and be tremendously useful to society not to be considered subhuman. You just have to be.
Fry them in bacon grease. Butter doesn’t get hot enough.
Before Covid, I used to bike from my apartment in Brooklyn to my office in Chelsea, about 7 miles. A few questionable stretches, but mostly protected bike lanes. And the bike infrastructure has only gotten better since then.
That’s absolutely correct, you don’t owe me (or anyone else on here) anything. I’m just asking for clarification, since I find it hard to believe you saw someone say something nice about a TV character and thought “that person doesn’t know the TV character is fictional, I had better tell them.”
Except I’m not what? I keep offering you the opportunity to show us what it is someone said that makes you believe they’re talking about fiction as if it’s reality. And yet it seems as though you keep turning that opportunity down.
Meta will find $375M in the couch cushions and continue on their way. This isn’t the answer.
I’m really trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here. When you say “she’s not a queen”, are you saying that because you’re concerned that someone in this thread believes (falsely) that Nurse Dana from The Pitt is, in reality, the reigning female monarch of a sovereign nation?
I’m not sure this answers my question, though. I asked who (in this thread) you thought was talking about fiction as if it was reality. Because I’m struggling to see where anyone has done that. Can you show me where it happened?
Yeah, I saw that, that’s why I asked, because I couldn’t figure out what prompted the whole thing.
Also The Pitt rocks and Nurse Dana is the best.
I should know better than to ask, but: who here was talking about fiction as if it were reality? Who, specifically, is your comment aimed at?
OKC vs SA with the potential to be one of the epic rivalries in NBA history, and we’re just at the beginning of it. What a great time to be a fan.
And in case there was any room for doubt, the Republican coauthor of KOSA explicitly said she expects and hopes the bill to make it harder for queer people to connect with each other and find out they're not alone (as Katelyn says she did here)

IANAL but as I understand it, birthright citizenship as defined in the 14th Amendment isn’t conditional on the parents’ legal standing. Like, the idea of citizenship as being something transferred genetically or whatever from one generation to another simply isn’t in there.
