Most of the time I just use all-purpose flour, because it is easy and I like to make both bread AND cookies.

But the truth is that pizza dough really is better when made with bread flour (which I have had sitting around for a few weeks since I bought some for my big bagel-making project, which I knew wouldn't work without bread flour).

I think I'm gonna stop with the all-purpose flour and just buy bread flour normally. I don't bake cookies that often, and if I need to use extra storage space for pastry flour, that is what I will do. My kitchen is small, but it is big enough for this. If I have to, I'll just stop buying green vegetables to save space. Who needs green vegetables when you have cookies and pizza?

The Republicans walked out of the Oregon lege to prevent the large Dem majority from voting on bills at all. (Dems could never win a vote and enact a liberal policy if there were no votes to begin with.)

Voters in Oregon were understandably upset that Republicans were running not to represent their own districts, but to prevent representation from ANY district. We/they passed Measure 113 which does the incredibly stupid thing which should not be necessary of setting up an "un/excused absences" system, where a legislator is banned from reelection if they miss more than 10 days unexcused.

It was written in a way that if you squint really hard and will yourself to see it, you can kinda see how the law might say that if you miss 10 days in the current term, you can serve again in the next term, but are banned from serving the term after that. Thus, of course, some selfish Republican idiots went and got themselves banned but insisted that no, the ban doesn't kick in for an extra 2 years.

Their objection went to the Oregon State Supreme Court.

The OSSC has just now rendered its decision, siding with the state's position that these stupid GOP losers are stupid losers who lost, stupidly. NICE TIMES!
