Come for the fraud fighting, stay for the cookies.
150,000 kids in Minnesota rely on SNAP to put food on the table. They're not refusing to work. They're children. The Trump admin tried to take food away from them. Now they're bragging about it. I sued them, and we've won in court again and again to protect SNAP benefits for Minnesota families.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRollins: "For those who love work and celebrate work and want people to work and not be on food stamps, it's a pretty big win when we've moved 5 million people off food stamps, y'all."
Overnight Oats are an easy way to start your day with something cold and clammy, a textural nightmare, a sensory prop labeled "iced brains" in a haunted house
The plastic shroud under my engine bay came loose & started dragging on a cold day in heavy traffic. I was trying to get it off with little success. Most people just drove around me, but a kind Hispanic man who spoke no English stopped and helped me remove it. He wouldn't take any money.

TL;DR - pick them while they are not quite ripe to save them from the friggin' squirrels - the flavor is not compromised with countertop ripening once they start to turn colors.

Musk insisting storebought tomatoes are better than homegrown tomatoes is the most perfect distillation of how ignorant he is of daily human life and the small joys therein.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2w agoAnother odd moment occurred when Musk insisted that work in the future would be "optional" because robots would do everything. Musk said people might still work in the future but compared it to people who grow their own backyard tomatoes. He said they could just go to the store for better tomatoes.

The enshittification of everything, cookware edition. I spent my $ on copper and carbon steel (Mauviel), enameled cast iron (LC & Staub) and US cast iron (Field/Lodge) (over many years, I'm not wealthy). I have used some of these for 20+years and all will go for 50+ more. No need for nonstick 1/2

In addition to being morally abhorrent, this is both factually wrong as to the people who ICE has killed and legally wrong as to when lethal force can be used.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoHoman on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."
A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
Foods that were eaten during the era when 'The Odyssey' is set, Spanish women trying to preserve Asturian cooking traditions, a better use for spent coffee grounds, and a Trader Joe's vs. Aldi dance party. All this and more in our weekly recap of food news. bit.ly/4wdxQEw #foodsky 🍽️🍜
I use Thompson Reuters investigative products daily. Their data is FULL of errors and inaccuracies (not necessarily their fault, public records are messy in general). But I predict there will be people harassed and possibly even prosecuted on the basis of faulty data held in these repositories.
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 3w agoNew from 404 Media: ICE plans to pay Thomson Reuters $125 million for data to investigate what it calls 'voters fraud'. News comes day after Trump laying the groundwork to undermine the midterms. ICE says Thomson Reuters can continuously track millions of people. www.404media.co/ice-to-pay-t...

I think a lot of people have spent a lot of time trying draw universal truths about the state of Politics Today from the Platner situation. I wonder if the only thing that’s truly generalizable is women fear coming forward about SA and all red flags deserve attention.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 4w agoI’ve avoided a lot of the Platner discourse because it’s a toxic tarpit, but I think the notion that the lesson here is primarily about either one political faction or something essential about “unvetted” newcomers, sits in some considerable tension with the entire Eric Swalwell experience.
Spoke to my friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today. He opened lips, I read them, he said they were suckers. They wanted me for their army or whatever — picture me giving a damn? I said, "never." Here is a land that never gave a damn about a brother like me and myself. Because they never did, I
My nearly 40 year old dislike of Morrissey has aged well. IMO he’s always been a whiny bitch. (Johnny Marr rocks though.)

Jenny Racicot—who could have said nothing about being sexually assaulted by Graham Platner and lived her life in peace—has instead sacrificed that to warn the public about Platner, an act of extraordinary courage on behalf of the public. Keep her in your thoughts.
Politico@politico.com · last mo.A woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her. The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”
For the fourth or fifth time now, Allina has charged us for medication that was dropped shipped to the clinic, prepaid. Blue Cross Blue Shield, which is quick to say no to pre-auths, glibly pays twice for the same expensive med. Now I will have to spend hours to get this straightened out. MF-ers
