Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

My brother is in a touring hardcore band and just arrived at his venue for today

I love Alton Brown’s videos, but sometimes his basic recipes are like, “OK, in order to make a normal, everyday omelette, I usually take a swan’s egg and cook it in ghee with a pinch of Antarctic rock salt and three sprigs of olive leaves at least 1,000 years old. Now take a titanium wok…”

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social what’s better than cats playing theremin? Kittens laying theremin, obviously.

Seeing more and more of these AI food flyers around D.C. Between this and Amazon vendors using AI more and more... just show me a picture of the product you want me to buy. It’s not that hard

Thursday night's storm -- just before midnight -- was INSANE in DC. Widespread 60-70 mph gusts... almost like a hurricane. Here's video from H St. NE from @we_are_wellfed on Instagram. More coverage at CapitalWeather.com
