While I am thinking about food (I am always thinking about food)... Brisket recipes! Does anyone have any? Note - I can't smoke it and I don't have a grill. Just a boring kitchen stove (and an air fryer and a microwave).

new theory: the new york times is for millenials who aren't good at interacting with people who are not on a phone by the way the answers are no and yes, you're welcome, drive safely

This maqloubeh recipe looks amazing, but when he gets to the part where you have to flip the full pot of beef, cauliflower and rice, I immediately check out. This would lead to a lot of broken things in my house. You may be braver.

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

The thing about using slop flyers for advertising is that there’s no way to visually differentiate between a lemonade stand, a BBQ joint, a car wash, and a laundromat. They all look exactly the same and from a branding perspective that’s bad, actually

Like Loebs? Every fall semester, I like to remind people that while Perseus has many free Loebs sectioned up into book and chapter, if you want to download and read the public domain Loebs (277 of them) as PDFs or txt files, Duke U's very own Ryan Baumann created _Loebolus 📗📕_. ryanfb.xyz/loebolus/

Was Tyranny a victim of bad timing or was it a bit too honest about the subtext of its audiences’ fantasies? @duncanfyfe.net on a game that has remained topical, trenchant… and rather neglected. remapradio.com/articles/ten...

Blindingly obvious that this is targeted at “degrees we think women get.”

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

We were watching that silly new Tom Hiddleston reenactment of the disaster of Pompeii and he was like ‘we have amazing new tech that allows us to track people through this disaster’ and I was oh no he’s going to say it’s an AI brain or something and then he said…. ‘Its a spreadsheet’ and I CHEERED

Good lord I wish some of you could read on this text based social media website.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

this is an interesting interview and if i were clipping it for social media i would have excerpted "We're still a place where we don't downrank links. We love sending traffic to people. We send two million clicks a day to publishers" rather than the part that'll just piss people off lol

mmmm yes.... obtaining a new and cute little notebook will cure me of my mental illness and turn me into a shark eyed type a productivity megafucker... the last several cute new notebooks didn't, but this one will be different, surely.

This is not cat related, but I discovered an odd bit of widespread history misinformation today. I saw a story about a very cool lady named Margaret E. Knight who was a brilliant inventor. The problem is that she was born in 1838 and this is the photo of her used in nearly every story I found.

I really liked Nimmala's potential. This is a shame.

you cannot be the most embarrassing team in the league and also have the stupidest players, this is hoarding

The whole Mariners' pen believes Babe Ruth didn't exist. Kinda want all MLB players to believe this and make the owners agree to it in next CBA

This will be cited to justify the usual claims about how journalism is elitist and out of touch. But as Ryan's follow-up shows, it's actually because the NYT and WSJ are surviving while newspapers everywhere else are folding.

Vladdy Guerrero doing spots for responsible gambling, which is only fair considering how much money has probably been lost on him this year.

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
