When I click unsubscribe from the Social Security Administration's propaganda emails I get to this page.

"and delete your account" <-- what.

(1) Refugees have to wait a year before they can apply for green cards

(2) Green card applications from certain countries are no longer being processed, and

AP news doesn't even have the word Epstein on it's front page 🫥

In Feb, 2006, Southwest Airlines' "Spirit Magazine" had a pizza article and dubbed Mineo's Pizza, Pittsburgh, the best pizza in the United States.

I shared this news with my friends at Carnegie Mellon and cite it to this day. 20 years later they're all demanding proof; please help me find a copy.

"She was just a mother who dropped her kid off at school."

IT HAS SNOWN.

Chat GPT but it calls you daddy

Ultimately this was a good adventure.

I hope the cooling racks did not melt, as apparently those were supposed to be removed; I will find out when the oven lets me back inside.

It's been an hour and the smoke stopped 30m ago; I have since looked up what this feature actually does and apparently *I* have to clean up "ash residue" when it's done.

Auto clean? more like "human clean" amirite?

Hosting Thanksgiving tomorrow for 35 people; I do firmly believe tonight was the right time to try out the oven's auto-clean feature.

On the bright side it was, in fact, cayenne pepper

PSA: if you have a spice jar labeled "cayenne pepper" and you look at it and think it looks more like chili powder do *not* put your nose up to the jar and sniff in order to make that determination.

"This is not normal. We cannot allow this to feel normal."

Absolutely schooled by my 10 year old. It starts...

The LaGuardia Famiglia pizzaria and church.

LaGuardia Famiglia looks *nothing* like the airport. Kinda neat tho!

Let the record show that I do not believe the Democratic party should cave to the GoP's brutish tactics in this shutdown.

(That said, I also don't rely on SNAP and would be very interested to know what that community actually wants...)

#MozFest has been such a great chance to re-connect with friends, colleagues, and collective visions. It's clearly time to start leaning into creating Bad Ideas again.

Democrats voted for a shutdown. Now they have to find a way out Senate Democrats kept their promise to reject any Republican spending bill that didn’t extend or restore health care benefits, choosing instead to force a government shutdown.

Imagine being a major news source and not even knowing what party controls all three branches of the U.S. Government.

My 10 y/o wants a COVID booster for the fall. I had to explain to her that we don't know exactly what will happen yet because our country is being led by people who don't understand science and won't allow kids to get healthcare.

I don't care what your politics are, that is her lived reality.

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.

So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.

It took a 2-week tech detox vacation for me to finally see that four screens MIGHT be too many screens.

LLMs should be ranked in terms of equivalence to various answer services. Does it beat Yahoo Answers => Quora => Twitter => Your Very Confident Cousin => TikTok => Reddit => etc.

The Social Security Administration just emailed me political propaganda.

This country is in rough shape.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ALL THESE CUCUMBERS

Got an email from Democratic party administrators warning that ActBlue is likely to be targeted by the Trump administration. As a local candidate this would affect my ability to receive online donations and file campaign finance reports.

This is not a normal thing to need to worry about.

A artisanally crafted trash can patio.

I can finally say I have left my mark on this world.

Our trade balance will be zero if there is no trade any more :logic:

I also saw this thingy (related to the "tariffs" that we are "being charged")

I am choosing to believe that carve-out item (5) "bullion" is a typo'd reference to bouillon cubes.

NO TARIFFS ON SOUP.
