It’s a good thing we dissolved our federal cybersecurity.

Terrifying.

I wonder how much our car insurance will go up due to this.

Until you listen to the Behind the Bastards on him and realize FB started out as a women hotness rating system local to his college. There was no benign origin here.

This is another bullet point on the list of MAGA stopping or confusing the flow and accessibility of information.

We are to know nothing about what they are doing in the world, ideally.

Their basic shortbread recipe is spot on, perfect.

When you start, you follow recipes. Pick a type of cuisine you like. At some point as you explore recipes you will start to understand the “flavor bouquet” of that cuisine. This understanding will help you with what spices go together in a pleasant way, and in what amounts. Like Thai food. Or Italian food.

That said, bread can be a gateway recipe. It’s simple: yeast, flour, water + a sugar to activate the yeast. Not all bread is sandwich bread. Starting with flatbread (for hummus, gyro, etc) or pizza crust also works. No bread machines, that would defeat the purpose of your original question, but a stand mixer with a dough hook is ok. For sandwich bread, King Arthur Flour has solid recipes (ignore ingredient branding).

If you like vids, Kenji Lopez-Alt is excellent. He also has a book called The Food Lab which is useful but not necessary, depending on how you learn. Serious Eats also has useful guides.

I think they’re talking about people you may have lost contact with. Where do you find anyone for a quick text? Facebook. What is the substitute platform for finding just about anyone?

Shut up, Wesley!

The byline for everyone around but not in the Trump administration right now.

Wait. Events are moving too fast to keep up with, now free speech is illegal. Great.

Unless you live inside a major city in America, you can’t get to work without a vehicle. It’s either have a car or be homeless.

They were manufacturing original Volkswagen beetles in Brazil and Mexico up until 2003?. Illegal to sell in the USA.

So our government is now doubling as advertising executives?

If “engagement” is a tap in, which this article is not clear on, then it’s a piss poor measurement of engagement.

I think bots are “good” for making an item appear viral through artificial amplification of visibility. Of note, the headlines in Gaza and Israel pre 2024 election were a deluge. Multiples every day. Post election, that deluge of posts dropped abruptly, to 0-1 a day.

There also needs to be a distinction between passive and active engagement.

Elon is babying the hair plugs. Hats that press down on hair plugs are contraindicated. He could not, as an example, wear a knit beanie tight across his head.

Can we take a moment to note what percentage of pics are of this guy steeping his fingers? It’s too flattering, given the destructive role he’s taken on.

He’s either hopping around dressed like a mall teenager from the 1990s, wielding a chainsaw dressed like a mall teenager from the 1990s, or straight faced with steepled fingers.

What should be posted is him Seig heiling or meme style imagery comparing his plasticine face with Mark Zuckerberg. That’s it.

Isn’t this President Musk’s baby? This will never happen.

It’s the high tech higher money version of taking advantage of migrant workers. It’s like legal indentured service for a visa, and you can bypass some of those pesky labor laws.

A large flip book, maybe. Flip it open and use it like a 15” tablet.

I know, I was being facetious. Every time there’s a flashy headline you need to look fof the less flashy headline. It’s exhausting. Feels like a year has passed already.

But global warming doesn’t exist, according to Trump.
