About 2/3 down near the left edge?

Kind of vague-skeeting, but it amazes me that people who should know better try to push it and then end up stepping in a pile of crap. It defies reason, but I guess now they get to clean the crap off their shoes.

Iran is showing what the Democrats failed to understand in both Nov 2016 and Nov 2020. Trump wins when you cower. Stand up to him and he can’t do shit. If we had had unified opposition both times we would be in a much better state.

This administration is about as dumb as they come. And people who know better are just letting them do it. Power is quite the drug.

And he only listens to experts when they validate what he already wants to do. So he doesn't understand the issues, will come in and try to bigfoot the opposing party off the bat, always thinks he has more leverage, and will only accept an absolutist outcome.

Like this isn’t going to piss off our allies at all?

Clearly no one with brains is in charge. 🤦‍♀️

Yeah, this one was thin. I was experimenting with using some gluten free stroopwafel crumbs I bought. I like the texture, but the kinnikinnick graham crackers taste better, but they are really hard.

Honestly, though, my favorite is an almond flour crust. Never gets soggy.

Needs a thicker crust?

An entire cheesecake.

A slice of cheesecake.

It was yummy. #glutenfree

A cheesecake still in the pan and ready to go in the fridge.

Made @altonbrown.bsky.social sour cream cheesecake with gluten-free stroopwafel crumbs for the crust.

But why must I wait so long for it to cool?! 😭 I will update you tomorrow.

Craving nachos, so whipped up some chicken and black beans nachos.

They got rid of OSHA

Oh my gd, the Artemis II crew doing a parody of a bad 1980s sitcom intro from in space.

Waffle Sunday used to be a tradition when the kids were at home. We decided we wanted waffles this weekend, so voila! The one on the left is clotted cream, strawberries, and a touch of maple syrup. The right is chocolate hazelnut spread with bananas, and they both have chopped pecans.

Some pink Japanese cherry blossoms in front of a brick wall.

Yellow daffodils and small purple flowers blooming.

I am experiencing some shock. If I were back in ND, I would be contemplating the foot of snow that would be arriving soon. Instead, I had a nice walk where I saw beautiful flowers blooming.

Not that I know of, but apparently people can get bit or scratched in their sleep, so standard protocol is to give rabies shots to anyone who wakes up with a positive bat flying around them. If we had released it without testing, we would have had to get shots, too.

We ended up waking up obnoxiously early Friday morning to the sound of a bat flying around the bedroom and running into our window shades as it was trying to get out.

Unfortunately, we had to send it in for testing and are waiting to hear if we need to get rabies shots. 😬

A plate of poutine.

Weekend treat!

I genuinely don’t understand this. This puzzle was a breeze…but the difficulty was 5/5. Three dates ago, I couldn’t figure out a 2/5. 🤷‍♀️

Given how I get static vision when my eyes are fatigued, I would say they’re probably not worse, but I definitely have to give myself time for the transition.

Ah yes…needed that reminder that I am old…

I was wondering that! I have scheduled this into my weekend calendar. 😁

That looks delicious!!

I bet they won’t have a clue.

‘Trump is aiming for dictatorship’. That’s the verdict of the world’s most credible democracy watchdog | Martin Gelin Sweden’s V-Dem Institute warns that the US is no longer a liberal democracy. And autocracy is creeping across Europe too, says writer Martin Gelin

“The US is no longer a democracy. ... The Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute at Gothenburg University reaches the alarming conclusion in its annual report, that the US is hurtling towards autocracy at a faster rate than Hungary and Turkey.”

Playing the “I just traveled and clearly ate something questionable. Did I get glutened or did one of my 20 other food sensitivities come into play?” game.

It’s not a fun game.

Happy Pi Day!! 🔵⚫️🔴

I’m not thrilled with the title. Is this what happens when they run out of binders full of women? They get shoved in microwaves?

Is this really what all this is about? This is just Trump’s revenge for another perceived slight?

Because that’s worked so well for us in the past. 🙄🤦‍♀️
