I'm Aleve/HRT/PM CBD sleep gummies + magnesium/Voltaren + Hoka slides + THC at happy hour years old. Daily hydration choice? My iced electrolyte blend w/green tea & kombucha topped with the Polar of the day. Or NA Black Butte Porter as part of HH drill.

Mortified to discover that I am protein powder/creatine/ibuprofen/epsom salts years old.

just did this and it works like a charm. hooray for the pre-ai internet tenbluelinks.org

I should have known that pride always comes before a fall. So my excitement about back-to-back M-Wed pool sessions + vibration plate or stretching work? Fate gave me intense mid-back spasms as Mr BRC & I swapped out portable ACs & exhaust hoses. Got massage & OTC pain meds, now down 4 day.

Old Age Revelations, Part 57. OMG, there's this cream you rub on your aching arch & calf? And if you do it every day, well, your whole lower leg feels way lighter & less achy? Why TF am I just now discovering Voltaren? No one could share, maybe? That's okay. More for MEEE.

Trump has never really understood the Streisand Effect

The way the right wing is hysterically reacting to Jon Ossoff’s mere mention of Natalie Harp means he hit a raw nerve. “How dare you suggest that a man who bragged about walking in on naked underage girls at a pageant he owned would have an inappropriate relationship with an employee!!!!”

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

I'm listening, I'm learning. Safety first, NYC.

Mr BRC & I almost broke our 4+ year habit of daily open-screen Wordle games together. Today got away from us - until 5 minutes ago, while I'm on vibrating plate & he's icing shins after leg exercises & massage gun work. Moral of the story? Fighting off aging keeps us together, I guess?

Before you pay attention to any poll, ask yourself: 1. Who still has a landline? 2. Who answered calls from unknown callers? 3. Who wastes their time with surveys? And 4. Who cares what such stupid, lonely people think?

Sure, I talk a great game about making our own food, what with the 'sourdough' this, tomato that, or all the grilled/smoked meats. But on a Sunday night, who can say no to dive bar mini corn dogs + horseradish mustard with my on-tap ginger beer? Funky-ass live blues jam attendance mandatory.

Homegrown tomato sammich on tomato-herb-cheese foccacia, Take 2. (photos weren't loading.) Mr BRC put a slice of ham on his!

Leadership would focus on what they agree on given our shared goals. A real leader would not focus on gotcha phraseology. This is a bullshit scaremongering and shows a profound misunderstanding of where a major part of the Dem base is today.

WELKER: Do democratic socialists belong in the Dem Party? JEFFRIES: What I can say is I do not support defunding the police, I do not support open borders, I do not support abolishing the Senate. We're focused on actually solving the problems hard-working American taxpayer want us to solve ...

Truly.

Crazy idea: Spend money on supplies for our well-trained and modestly paid sailors, not on electric shock gloves for poorly trained and overpaid ICE agents.

Hakeem Jeffries is not up for the job. They have got to get rid of him in January.

Thanks to you, I reached my initial goal of 250 new Democracy Docket subscribers in 6 hours. So, now I am doubling it to 500! Democracy Docket won't send you spam or sell your email. It's not on Substack or ActBlue. Free and premium options available. Link and thanks! demdock.com/4w6emld

Ken Paxton stole someone’s $1,000 pen. He’ll steal your tax dollars. He’ll steal your healthcare. He’ll even steal your pen. I'll be a Senator who puts money in your pocket — and I’ll never put your pen in mine.

Am gearing up for round (mumble mumble) of sourdough same-day cinnamon rolls - just created the sweet stiff starter for overnight rise. This after most recent attempt got a "85% on the mark" rate. I know what I'd adjust - longer rises; different rolling technique. Plus we bought cream cheese!

Inconceivable!

For those who are asking, here is how you can help me the most: 1. Spread the word about the threats to democracy and free and fair elections. 2. Subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

NEW AD: 14 years ago today, Ken Paxton stole someone's $1,000 pen. Today, Ken Paxton’s pen victim is endorsing James Talarico.

Well, it's not like Ohio voters will be mad about this -- I'm sure they love Big Pharma billionaires and hate people who suffer from Alzheimer's.

New reporting reveals Ohio Republican Gov. candidate Vivek Ramaswamy hired his mother to manipulate clinical trial data for an Alzheimer's drug he owned the rights to. This scheme boosted Ramaswamy's company stock price and generated a $1.4 B IPO, where he then cashed out before the stock tanked.

The games are underway! 1. Took the King Arthur sourdough discard cracker recipe, modified it as follows: - 3/4 c unbleached white flour, 1/4 c pulverized 5-grain cereal blend (oats, triticale, rye, flax, wheat) - 2 T gomasio in the dough - brushed w/avocado oil, topped with more gomasio Pics 👇

BRCHaus@brchaus.bsky.social · 2w ago

I now have my next sourdough project to use up the excess discard! Sourdough discard crackers as a tribute to my favorite Ak-Mak crackers (with a side nod to Stoned Wheat Thins.) I've got discard, butter, sea salt, whole grains & gomasio. The games will begin tomorrow!

Mr BRC persevered & FINALLY got this OXO lid back together on Day 6? 7?

BRCHaus@brchaus.bsky.social · 2w ago

Day 2 (and 17 YT videos) - and Mr BRC may be >this close< to reassembling OXO canister lid he erroneously disassembled in a fit of pique. I'm staying well out of the way with lips zipped. 🤐 Marriage has taught me to pick my battles - but still allows for private commentary out of earshot, right?

The only people who should care about how many people use Bluesky are the people who receive paychecks from Bluesky. Anyone else is just some kind of numbers pervert.

State House Speaker Lisa Demuth won the Republican nomination for Minnesota governor, defeating MyPillow founder Mike Lindell in a rare loss for a candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump. bit.ly/3TQFWF6

Mr BRC: (groans as he moves outside) I'm sooore! Me: Want some Aleve? Mr: No, I'll take some before I go to bed. Me: So you'd rather suffer until then? (deposits 2 Aleve on outdoor table) To be fair, he did throw down 2 killer entrees for lunch at senior center this AM at new volunteer gig.

We're leaning into simple weekday meals that mix & match options: - hearty lunches paired with simpler, lighter dinners - garnished with in-season fruits, veggies & home-baked items. Dinner tonight? Veggie & roast pork saute/scramble, followed by peach-pear biscuit shortcake.

We have seized the airports and radio stations. Madison has fallen. We ask the people of Wisconsin to please remain calm during this period of transition.
